Cundere akujaku reidžó Liselotte to džikkjó no Endó-kun to kaisecu no Kobajaši-san

Endo and Kobayashi Live! is a sweet romantic fairy tale based on an original and interesting idea that sadly didn't work for me at all. You might think it’s cool and unconventional that a character in the story can hear the running commentary on his actions in a romantic game. As for me, it all felt as if someone was telling me a joke, and then another person explained it, and the person who told the joke started laughing at it himself. In other words, the commentators start talking about why a situation is funny (explaining the punchline), even though you have no trouble figuring it out for yourself, and then the character in the story suddenly gets the punchline and starts dramatically reacting to it. Plus, the commentary itself is overly emotional at times. I understand that the characters are invested in the story, but unfortunately much more than I am, so I’m just not on the same wavelength with them. The very thing that makes this series original and interesting to people makes it fall apart like a house of cards for me. I didn't particularly enjoy watching it, even though I quite like tsundere (or rather "tsun de rais") characters. I did like the way the two worlds were logically interconnected, though. I didn’t expect that the series would bother explaining why things worked in such a way. The animation was nice, the music was good, but I’m only giving it 6/10. (24.03.2023)
