First Impressions: 3b no Koibito eps 1- 3 and Life of Namjoo ep 1-4- early favorites for Winter 2021/girls get dumped and a warning, then meet 3 men

3b no Koibito Eps 1-3 Jdrama/Based on Manga

Haruka Kobayashi had a case of runaway groom and haven't found luck with love since then. Her friend warned her to avoid 3B at all cost: bandman, beautician and bartender. And of course, she finds herself living with all three men.

This is my favorite among all the winter reverse harem dramas I've seen so far. And this is the first time I'm watching so many reverse harem all at the same time. Six. Reverse. Harem. Dramas. @.@ (Including 38-sai from Fall and not including Mairunuvich)

Is the so-called 3B boys really a thing in Japan? I don't know why but I loved that the guys are dating other women and it's refreshing for all the guys to be unreliable. It's hilarious when Haruka shuts them down like with Haruhi to the Ouran boys. She seems an airhead at the start when she thought the beautician is asking for her number but later on she sees through them. No favorite 3B yet but I'm kinda afraid of the bartender because of Dori Sakurada's role in Alice in Borderland haha This is his third reverse harem after Good Morning Call and Coffee and Vanilla.

There were touching yet simple moments that I could relate to. When Haruka was obsessively looking forward to the ice cream as a reward after a long day of hard work. I felt that. The beautician talking about not knowing his passion right away can be a truth for some.

The runtime is 30 minutes each and with seven more episodes to go. The beautician and bandman already had their turns and the next episode is the bartender's. Oooh The little flashes of jealousy gets me.

Life of Namjoo Eps 1-4 Kdrama

Jin Nam Joo sees the future whenever she sneezes but it led her to the disastrous ending of her relationship. Her father, also a fortune teller, warned her to stop listening to her voice/ instinct/whatever and foretells she'll meet three men and she must choose wisely.

We're all set with winter reverse harem 2021 and this came out of the blue. This comes as my second favorite after 3B. Namjoo looks like she's the pretty villain in a drama and I'm partial to characters with chameleon style. She's also not the usual sweet and everything nice heroine.

I didn't see the OMG-inducing twist in episode 2 and it got me confused if this is even a reverse harem. Okay, I'm not going to give away than I already have. For a very short drama (6 episodes/20 minutes runtime) it's packed with storytelling. I was only supposed to watch up to the third episode only to be fair with the other dramas but my curiosity of who the third guy is got the best of me. But it looks like he's been there all along. It wouldn't make sense to introduce the third guy on the last 2 episodes. (Okay, I rewatched the trailer, the third guy I was looking for her is indeed him.)

****

Four down and two to go for First Impressions for winter reverse harem dramas. Please watch out for Fling at the Convenience Store and Mairunuvich. What are your favorites so far? I don't think I'll do one for I-chu since it's not a reverse harem but I'll do a review once it's done together with A3! Autumn and Winter and Idolish7 Second Beat.

All-Time Top Ten Reverse Harem Anime

Hello Wallflowers! I am not going to do a decade in review since I did that already a couple of years ago. but I am loooong overdue for my top 10 anime. I actually made one coincidentally a decade ago but it's a consolidated top 10 of everything from anime, manga and dramas as the titles are fewer back in 2010. I should have done it sooner but it's the nagging feeling that I should finish everything before I can post this. What if there's a hidden gem in my backlog that piled up beginning 2015 (due to pregnancy)? Fast forward to last year and major life events later, I have finished nine anime in eight months. It felt like forever. And after that, I found out I could actually start the list even without watching the backlog. LOL But the good thing is I was able to finish it and that has put off a lot of guilt feelings from me. I mean who blogs about reverse harem and never watches past the first episode??? Sadly, I don't remember most of the story of the anime...

Reverse harem is not an exact science. Fans may have a different interpretation of what reverse harem is. Now, this a tale of two otomes turned animes from Winter 2015 who just didn't quite feel reverse harem at all. And I thought it was going to be the best season ever. Boy, I was wrong.

Reverse Harem Anime Catch-Up Marathon: Nil Admirari, Yume 100, Dame x Prince, Scared Rider Xechs and Magic-Kyun

My marathon started in March of last year with two seasons of B-Project , fourth/last season Uta Prince No Sama and Phantom of Twilight . I usually blog my review before I start with watching the next anime but at the rate I'm going it will take me forever to get it all done. I decided to watch the remaining anime one after another without blogging and I finished it all by December. The last time I had this marathon was from the time I first discovered reverse harem. But unlike before, this time I feel like I was losing my mind and I'm going to quit watching reverse harem anime for good. Well almost. The only way for me to blog all these anime would be in one go...again. I'm just going to keep 'em all short. Disclaimer: As usual I have not played any of the games.
