Look, I hate reading long reviews of an paticular series, but the top suggested review says that Ishigami is the worst charcter? Lmao, he's the best male character of the show, sure there are people that hate him, hating him should be illegal, people worship him and the others call him "Ishigod" or an unpopular one "Chadgami". Aside from that, I don't get all the negative reviews that this show is getting, and I don't mind reading long reviews. This might be one of the best comedy series ever made.

Eh don’t take reviews seriously, just ignore them. Also u can tell they haven’t read the manga, he gets a ton of development and we’ll most likely see it at the end of the next season or after the the next season. There’s nothing much that’s bad in the series but I could see where ppl find it boring (when they introduce kaguya’s family) but aside from that love is war is still one of the best rom coms, whether ppl like it or not.

There is always negative reviews on every series just ignore 'em,also many people probably just hate him from the season 1 cause he felt more like a gag side character which acts annoying but he gets a literal arc around his character next season and they prolly felt "huh how why" maybe that's why.

tldr; negative reviews are common just ignore them.

Critical consensus is that Kaguya is great, but I understand getting hung up on bad criticism of something you love.

Kaguya’s so good most points against it are going to sound weird and made up, what you just mentioned is one of them.

The way MAL works, negative reviews of beloved shows get pushed to the top. They made that a bit better recently, but it’s still the case that those who disagree with consensus are going to scroll down to the reviews more.

Don’t get hung up on nonspecific points like “I don’t like this character” unless they explain their reasoning. There’s always going to be some people who randomly don’t like a great character.

Thing about MAL reviews, unless it got reworked (which I doubt) is that more reactions = higher in the ranking. People use the confused reaction for "bad reviews", thus making said review go higher.

Took me three watches of episode 1 for the comedy to click at all. On that third pass it just worked for some reason and now it’s one of my favorite anime.

Sometimes we just don’t like things for random reasons. People taking that and inventing intellectual cover for it is the root of most bad criticism.

I don't get why hating should be illegal just because people worship him. Every person has their own likes and dislikes. Typically, Ishigami is rather a very generic character. From Hachiman to Bocchi a pessimistic, introvert, highschooler is a very common troupe.

Concerning negative opinions on the anime, most of them go along the lines of "repetitive comedy", "lack of reasonable (romantic) development". I don't see these claims to be very wrong. A reasonable criticism, maintaining the essence of the content, is much more acceptable than a random throw of words like masterpiece, peak etc.

You’re just looking at his basic archetype and not any of his specific personality traits or how he develops from that archetype. Not trying to spoil anything but he does not stay the way he starts.

Akasaka Aka likes to write characters by introducing a basic personality then peeling back layers as we learn more about them. The result is often a number of entirely separate personalities existing in one character (take ice Kaguya and dumb Kaguya for instance).

It’s a bit disingenuous to argue a character is bad based on the one point in a story where we know the least about them. Would be like criticizing the depth of One Piece’s world building in episode 2.

The idea that the romance doesn’t develop is also incorrect.

i never felt annoying in this series because it is so much fun . all rom com have series and love triangle and mc and fmc does share their feelings and talk properly, they just create misunderstanding. but here they know eachother very well and they even know that they love each other but it's just that they want their love to confess first. and that's sooo much fun , l ove this show sooo much.

Most characters feel like bad jokes and the fun part is that the jokes themselves are also bad jokes, and the premise is pretty dumb, it is a very normal romcom but very loud.

Ishigami is actually one of the best characters, but it is easy to ignore him at the start snce he gets actually good on the second season. Also, it is very funny when people say that negative reviews are troll reviews lol, as if people can't have negative opinions about a beloved show.

They skipped some really good chapters from the manga so that they could rush their way to the confession arc in season 3.

To be honest, I've always found Ishigami annoying and that's not going to change anytime soon. Doesn't help that he looks and acts like a generic ass harem protag at times, which is a turnoff.

If people want to like/woreship him, they're free to do so. However they shouldn't be expecting everyone to jump on the same bandwagon.

P.S. I do NOT hate this series. In fact, I like almost everything about it besides the Ishigami stuff.

I thought Ishigami felt like too much of a self-insert character for manga readers, people who would probably identify with him I guess. Don’t really enjoy him as a character.

Ishigami is the best written character in the entire manga as well ,Bro just needs someone to stay by his side forever,Bro expects a long term relationship not just a temporary one...I only watched the series and completed the manga for him, haven't rooted for the main characters and their story as it is just suuuuperr annoying

Well straight up, most off putting things with this series are its overrating, lack of real good comedy like other good ones and pretty much lousy ending.
The most annoying thing is its latest season being up there with actual good shows.

The problem with the series I have is them try to get the other one to break and confess their love but it never goes in the right direction and it gets tiring after a few episodes. I love the theme songs but I don’t have much to say. It’s good other people like it when I don’t have strong feelings about it.

I've watched the entire show and it's really just not my thing. I think the end of season 3 is actually pretty good because the character arcs are pretty well done. But other than that, the whole show revolves around a non- issue (in my opinion) and the humor doesn't really stick for me. I understand why people like this show, but I'll stick with Pop Team Epic if I want "comedy"

Don't comment on those reviews either they are fandoms of other anime coming to degrade it or It's their own thought 💭

It’s popular, and battling attack on Titan/ fullmetal alchemist for top ranks. There’s gonna be one group that hates on it just because it’s popular and new and another just because it threatens their favorite show. People get weirdly defensive about this kind of thing. It’s best to ignore them tbh

Not a good example since aren’t they criticizing the character where they’re at currently in the anime rather how they feel after only seeing a couple of episodes of an anime with multiple seasons? Even if they have good development coming up judging off of manga there’s no guarantee they adapt it properly so all someone can do is judge the anime off of where it currently is.

Even if they have good development coming up judging off of manga there’s no guarantee they adapt it properly so all someone can do is judge the anime off of where it currently is.

There is such a thing as judging too early. If you think a character seems basic the episode they’re introduced, yeah, that’s kind of how characters work. Again, it’s like criticizing the depth of One Piece’s world building in episode 2. It’s an example of judging something too early.

But more than that, the issue is they’re judging solely based on the character’s archetype. This would be like criticizing a character based solely on the fact that they’re tsundere, that’s bad criticism because it ignores the specific traits that define the character.

Every character occupies some sort of archetype, what makes them bad or good is the specific traits that define them, and the role they serve in their story. If your argument is that every story needs to redefine narrative fiction by constructing completely original character types, you’re asking for too much. Or at least, you don’t really understand why you feel way you do about the character.

This is not to say there aren’t characters you can immediately clock as bad, but that doing so based solely on that character’s archetype is bad criticism.
