About Real Girl

Here is what Real Girl (3D Kanojo: Real Girl) is about, retold in plain terms: a school, romance and shoujo anime by Hoods Entertainment (2018). In short: For Hikari Tsutsui, life within the two-dimensional realm is much simpler. Socially inept and awkward, he immerses himself in video games and anime, only to be relentlessly ridiculed and ostracized by his classmates.

Next up: Sharing his misery is Yuuto Itou, his only companion, who wears cat ears and is equally obsessed with the world of games. After being forced to clean the pool as punishment for arriving late, Tsutsui crosses paths with Iroha Igarashi, but he tries to steer clear of her, as her notoriety precedes her. Brazenly blunt, loathed by female classmates, and infamous for messing around with boys, Tsutsui believes that getting involved with her would cause nothing but problems.

In a school series like this, campus dynamics, friendships and rivalries set the day-to-day tone. If you count yourself among viewers who enjoy school-life settings, put it on your list.

Production & Appeal

Production sits with Hoods Entertainment, which means the visual identity of Real Girl follows that studio's craft. The school focus matters here: campus dynamics, friendships and rivalries set the day-to-day tone. With a 6.8/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. Released in 2018, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
