    Bruh that ad break intro was perfect

  • @ricardoramirez2587 June 19, 2024

    You sound like the narattor for this show.

  • @colleagueloyal7269 June 19, 2024

    Hayasaka is best girl

  • @elisanimation1323 June 19, 2024

    I certainly have a favoring for Chika…

  • @LonaLina-xr9tx June 19, 2024

    I find kaguya is better than chika if you finished the manga and read it you will know what i mean .
    Kaguya has a good backstory and development character and that make her the best

  • @LonaLina-xr9tx June 19, 2024

    For me the only best waifus in this series are kaguya and hayasaka and miko iino

  • @LonaLina-xr9tx June 19, 2024

    Hayasaka is the best girl and the second one is kaguya
    I don't like chika , i find her an overrated character

  • @siwus3101 June 19, 2024

    Do part to please❤

  • @Sayrden June 19, 2024

    "Which one is Best Girl?" is often a difficult question, but for Kaguya-sama, I'd say it pales in comparison to "Which one is Best OP?"

  • @LucHazAdes June 19, 2024

    She’s right you know

    And that’s why she’s best girl

  • @kylemaybury9873 June 19, 2024

    The narrator is obviously best girl

  • @LemontheWeeb June 19, 2024

    i just finished season 4 of the anime today and at first to me it was Chika but after finishing season 4 its 100% Kaguya!!!!

  • @carltonpowell5313 June 19, 2024

    Hayasaka is best girl
    The narrator even said so

    This is law hehe

  • @Ashtarte3D June 19, 2024

    Kaguya is outstanding. I especially love delirious Kaguya when she got sick. But I'm a simple woman with simple tastes: genki is gold. So Chika will always win in my book.

  • @Lasor4 June 19, 2024

    Cool video, glad I recently found your channel, but uhhh… Hayasaka is best girl. Thank you-

  • I would absolutely love to see Chika's seiyuu reacting to Chika noise memes

  • @somedude6351 June 19, 2024

    The real best girl is Maki, you can't change my mind

  • @hlamonix June 19, 2024

    kaguya is an outstanding character, but for me she's beyond archetypes and beyond waifu: she's just kaguya. so perhaps i'll go with fujiwara, followed closely by hayasaka.

  • @vlad5042 June 19, 2024

    inviting massive controversy here but i don't like hayasaka. i don't feel like her character feels as consistent (weird to say when kaguya is involved but she's fairly consistent in having a split personality lolol). hayasaka just has too many wtf moments for me and creeps me out for some reason, even when she has her honest emotional moments i still feel like she's bullshitting me.

  • @Brasswatchman June 19, 2024

    Still waiting on the Hayasaki video.

  • @anonl5877 June 19, 2024

    At least we can all agree that Miko Iino is the worst girl. She's kind of cute and she can have a soft side, but she's also a fascistic Karen.

  • @CoconutChriss June 19, 2024

    What is your opinion on the ice Kaguya arc? I just stumbled upon this anime this year and I am so glad it happened now. It meant I could consume all three seasons and the movie / 4 episodes winter arc back to back. In the final episodes, especially after the end of season 3, the tone shift slapped me across the face. And certain acts of… violence really confused me and still make me think. But it was so worth it in the end. This is by far one of the greatest anime I have seen in my life. And definitely in the top 3 of romance shows – it not at the top spot.

  • @darknaio60 June 19, 2024

    According to Ian Sinclair (english dub narrator), Ai Hayasaka is best girl. Thus it is canon (at least in the english dub).

  • @Imperfectrun June 19, 2024

    We demand justice for Hayasaka

  • @Basrawulf June 19, 2024

    Hayasaka Ai

  • @beethovenjoshua2974 June 19, 2024

    Hayasaka is the best girl

  • @theemmjay5130 June 19, 2024

    Kaguya and Chika both have strong hairbow games, even if the one wears it in the back and the other in the front, but Love Detective Chika adds a top-tier hat game to that. I'm not going to go so far as to say that gives her the victory, but it's definitely worth noting.

  • @Phishy. June 19, 2024

    Miko Ino is HIGHLY UNDERRATED

  • @MIchaelArlowe June 19, 2024

    One man’s trash is another man’s waifu.

  • @praetorianrex5571 June 19, 2024

    Unfortunately, I'd put a cinder block wall between myself and anyone with such toxic habits. 💀

  • @GenericNameeee June 19, 2024

    Answer: Hayasaka, Kaguya close 2nd tho :p

    Though there are so many great characters in this show I'm just happy to watch it!

  • @teeweezeven June 19, 2024

    Ai Hayasaka best girl

  • @ivanafterfive June 19, 2024

    Waifuologist…now this is a profession I could see myself devoting my life to. 😄

  • @PewKittens June 19, 2024

    17:36 to 17:46 about being taught to be cold but not living the life that would actually cause it, is really good analysis

  • @frogganator3918 June 19, 2024

    I'm almost convinced that Chika is 100% aware of what's going on between everyone else in the student council office and only frames herself as an airhead as she masterfully destroys every single plan they make. She's an absolute terror to the machinations of those around her and it's amazing.

  • @theargonaught44 June 19, 2024

    I love this anime, it heals my heart and soul.

  • @seanells2333 June 19, 2024

    Hayasaka tho

  • @usedtissuepaper42 June 19, 2024

    thanks to the English dub Hayasaka is canonically best girl

  • @lucaspoon4202 June 19, 2024

    Imma rank the girls by looking at them as real people.

    If Chika was a real person, I'd honestly probs find her annoying as shit. Totally self-absorbed, fragile and overblown ego, just totally cheerful beyond human normalcy, and well, she can't read the room one bit. She only seems smart or to have common sense at times because the other mains have basically none. Otherwise she's pretty average in that category. I'd just find her completely carelessness and lack of honor just an eyesore to watch. Like literally, nothing is sacred to her except love and well, maybe anyone she happens to deem her "child."

    And well… tbh if Kaguya was real, I'd probs only see her 'ice princess' side and well, like the rest of the school sees her, just totally untouchable and beyond my mortal status. We only know how cute and wholesome she can be because we watch a show where she's in love. If it was much else, we wouldn't see it. And to top it off, I don't like those games. Mind games and manipulation would be waaay to much for me to handle at that magnitude.

    Lino would seem like just a bossy bitch. Well granted, I don't disagree with keeping the school clean and in good condition and striving for strong academics. So I'd respect her morals, but dislike her personality.

    Tsubame would be similar to Kaguya as someone just like totally untouchable, but definitely a lot warmer than the ice queen. If I did somehow get the chance to know her, I'd probs like her a lot as a person. Regardless, she'd be fun to be in the same room with.

    Honestly I'd probs like Kei the most. She's at least compassionate, down to earth, hard working, and while a bit shy, a high quality person. She's only mean to her brother so I probs wouldn't notice that side of her too much lol.

    So yep, those me two picks, Tsubame and Kei.

    Granted, each of them are super entertaining to watch in the show.

  • @otttimon5654 June 19, 2024

    I like Kaguya but China has big anime tittie

  • @crazywhofan6676 June 19, 2024

    Doesn't include Hayasaka, the canonical Best Girl.

  • @sad-o-lantern7825 June 19, 2024

    I have a deep hatred for Chika after she dissed Ishigami
