Otonari no Tenshi-sama ni Itsunomanika Dame Ningen ni Sareteita Ken Review

 Overall Rating 4.0 out of 10 - Good idea but poor implementation.

I recommend watching Gourmet Girl Graffiti instead. I dropped after 3 episodes.

This "angel" comes with more asterisks than fee schedule of the greediest bank. Meanwhile around the corner in Koufuku Graffiti, Ryo cooks for free for lazy and problematic Kumin and does not complain about it. Ryo >>> Shina

I had quite a history with this show. First, I enthusiastically downloaded the whole thing, expecting a really awesome thing. Then watched first episode and dropped it in disappointment. A year later, after finishing Gourmet Girl Graffiti, I decided to give it another go. However, after 3 episodes in total, that only confirmed my original assessment. This show could have been great, but poor direction run it into ground.

After all what could have been easier. Take sweet, cooking and caring gf material Ryo from Gourmet Girl Graffiti, replace Kirin with a guy, add some sweet romantic scenes and you get a 9.5 out of 10 anime. That is why I had high expectations of this show.

However, this anime was given to a very feminist misandrist studio who went on to fuck it up. 

Instead of being sweet gf material, Shiina complains on various things about Amane. Show keeps rubbing it in our faces in an unpleasant way, how much she is better than him and how much she "spoils" him. That is not spoil, that is what being a gf is about. Amane too seems to agree and spoil Shiina with gifts and what not.

Side characters are not much better, be that Amane's mom or his friends. They just tease Amane and fill the screentime.

Shiina herself is somewhat alright half of the time when she does not complain, disagree or criticize Amane for anything.

Overall, however it's a wasted opportunity to make a 9.5 awesome show. Cooking makes girls closer to being a gf material. Too bad the studio ruined such as awesome opportunity to show us just that.

So, watch Gourmet Girl Graffiti and imagine Ryo is cooking for you instead.
