Rewatch [10 Year Anniversary] Saekano: How To Raise A Boring Girlfriend rewatch 24h reminder

37 Upvotes

One spring day, I came face to face with my destiny

< Interest Thread | Schedule+Index | 24h Reminder | Episode 0 >

Hello Reddit. Today is actually January 9th where I live, and it is an auspicious day for we are celebrating the airing of my beloved, all-time favorite anime, Saekano. This thread serves both as our 24h reminder, and as another opportunity to garner more people on the Saekano hype train! Discussion threads will be up 9pm EST Jan 9 2025.

Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata also known as Saekano: How To Raise a Boring Girlfriend is a high-school themed romance comedy harem that showcases otaku culture and deep dives into ecchi while doing so. It is a stunningly self-aware piece of art that manages to subvert anime tropes and transcend. As the plot goes on, it evolves into a proper romance drama. Great writing meets impeccable comedic timing, brought together by beautifully executed voice acting, it is a well-rounded anime experience. Be warned, it does not hold back on the spicy ecchi shots. The OVAs must will be included. They are extremely fanservice oriented, (it's in the episode titles), starting as the episode 0 of each season, in my opinion lends a lot to lay down the intrigue into how our characters fall into place.

Information

Season 1 MAL | Anilist | AniDB | ANN

Season 2 MAL | Anilist | AniDB | ANN

Movie MAL | Anilist | AniDB | ANN

The story is completed after 2 seasons and a finale in the form of a movie. And in my humble opinion, is the single greatest ending to an anime story ever.

Still not hooked? Check out these clips. (SPOILER WARNING, watch at your own risk)

Schedule

It will be a complete run-through of its 25 episodes+movie. The OVAs (both are episode zeroes of each season) will be included based on air date. Our rewatch will be daily from Jan 9 2025 to Feb 6 2025. The movie finale thread will be on Feb 5 2025. Overall series discussion the day after that. Threads will be posted at 9pm EST. Schedule+Index in the previous thread linked above

Streaming

Legal streams are few and far between, season 1 is available on Amazon Prime and CR. And season 2 and the movie can be accessed on a streaming app called Bilibili if you use a VPN to Southeast Asia. Bilibili is subscription based and relatively cheap. (Shoutout to u/Tama47_ for the info) Saekano S2 on BiliBili

Otherwise, you know what to do to watch it.

I hope everyone will have a great time, first-timers and rewatchers alike. I will see you tomorrow, up on the hill, in spring. Thank you!

I've been having these watchlist for years, some of them are more than 5 years. Don't know why I couldn't able to watch them, I can easily start an anime blindly if some unknown person in reddit says. But I can't able to start these.

  • Attack on titan
  • Vinland saga
  • Jujutsu kaisen
  • Naruto Shippuden (40eps balance in classic)
  • Demon slayer

Discussion Is there an anime that does an "ally turned antagonist" rather than the other way around?

64 Upvotes

To get into my head on this question, I'm excluding Naruto because his eventual allies from Ninja School were antagonists (if only by a stretch of the definition)

I'm talking more like "lifelong friends find themselves on opposite sides of a war and neither can back down"

I'm also specifically using the word Antagonist rather than Villain, so long as they were with the mc at first and then were against them
