121. Actually, I Am
https://myanimelist.net/anime/29785/Jitsu_wa_Watashi_wa

Best Character: Aizawa Nagisa

Premise: Kuromine Asahi learns that the girl he has a crush on, Shiragami Youko, is actually a vampire! She asks him not to tell anyone, but Asahi is terrible at keeping secrets, and there are lots of other strange people at their school.

The Good: Actually, I Am is a romantic comedy that mixes a few things I enjoy. First, I loved the awkward hijinks where Asahi has to keep various secrets from getting out even though he has a terrible poker face and his best friend is a reporter always looking for a scoop. This also has a supernatural twist with the various monster people. It's a bit like Monster Musume but with way less fanservice (though one girl who shares her body with a werewolf is a self-described pervert and she provides plenty of fanservice). The vampire Youko is good. She's usually cool and reserved because she was afraid to smile in case people noticed her fangs, so it's cute how she can truly be herself around Asahi. My favorite is still Nagisa, the tiny alien piloting a human-sized body. She's such a unique monster idea and she has lots of fun gags.

The Bad: I don't remember Actually, I Am doing anything wrong. There were bits of drama and some characters or running gags that weren't my favorites, but nothing terrible. The overall anime is just kind of mediocre. A lot of what it did appealed to me, but without that I'd have ranked it quite a bit lower. Lets just say I wasnt surprised to see this has a score below a 7 on MAL.

Overall: Actually, I Am is a decent romantic comedy with some interesting monster characters and hilarious misunderstandings. Nothing about it is super amazing, but I thought it came together well enough and a lot of the things it had really appealed to me.

COMING UP TOMORROW:
120: This anime is getting stabbed with forks.
119: This anime doesn't take its activities seriously enough.
118: This anime is terrible at winning games.

(Man, it wasnt easy doing a hint for 119 without using any words from the title)
