Thar Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 This needs a thread. This is definitely in my top 5 animes of the season, if not my top 3. I haven't laughed this hard from an anime for a long time. Discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maeriberii Haan Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 This episode made me curious about how exactly a Love Nectar cookie would taste like. Would it even have a distinct, noticeable taste like in here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agro Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 To be honest, if this show is making a claim for "best show of the season", the comedy and lewdness may not even have anything to do with it. The social commentary that the jokes and lewdness are making is beginning to astound me. EDIT:Actually ended up talking this over with a friend of mine and came to reconsider something about what they're making the grey-haired girl do. As much as her almost-rape and clear sexual harassment work towards making the point that the show seems to be going for, I think it's smart to be critical of how it's handled. While the main character is clearly under duress the entire time and does not like what is happening to him, and the scene at the end of episode 4 is actually fairly disturbing, the show still ends up passing off what is a serious topic about sexual harassment and rape as a joke. I wonder, then, if the show could have benefitted by taking a more serious approach to these moments rather than trying to get the audience to laugh at them. I even considered for a moment if the show, based on the direction this and the last episode have gone, could have benefitted from not being a comedy in the first place. Of the two options, I think the prior would be 100% preferred, and the argument could be made that it might have been the way to go over what we have, but whatever. Important to think about these things, anyway. Food for thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Food for thought.I agree almost completely, though honestly I believe the writers weren't trying to make the audience laugh at the almost-rape of our protagonist. The problem is that the anime itself is a comedy, like you said, so everything is in a comedic light. And they really, really should have made Tanukichi more affected. Right now, even after deciding that he wants to throw his lot in with Ajame, he still is hung up about Anna's "purity", which doesn't make much sense and makes him feel a flat character, hindering the possibility of feeling empathy for him. And of course, the anime still employs some stupid comedy clichés that make taking its social commentary seriously hard. I honestly believe that the writers are trying, but they seem to be still a bit too tied to certain clichés. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
