Kaguya-Sama: Love Is War is hysterical, it's one of the funniest anime ever made and an absolute joy from start to finish. While the writing is sharp, the premise is inherently funny, the animation is energetic, and the balance of comedy and drama is perfect, it's the cast of characters that really makes the show amazing. Each character is simultaneously lovable and fleshed out, and the vocal performances are absolutely fantastic. I love all these dorks and am very excited to see them again in Season 3. But for now, here's my ranking of its episodes so far:
