This show was bad imo

Let me just say this is just my opinion and I respect anyone who likes it and stuff.

But this show was just so fuckin bad to me. Like, I dropped this on mid-episode 17 so maybe it does get better later on but I just couldn’t continue.

First, let’s start with Misaki and Usui. Misaki was, overall, an okay-ish protagonist. But honestly, my main issue with her is that she learns at the end of some episodes that guys aren’t too bad and blah blah blah, but then her behavior and malice towards guys comes back the next episode and it feels as if she didn’t learn anything from the previous episodes. There’s no development for her and it’s honestly a tad unbearable.

My main issue is with Usui though. This dude is fucking all over the place. He has no flaws (or maybe I just didn’t look hard enough/am a complete dumbass lmfao). He’s a stalker and to me it’s annoying how the show romanticizes this and he even looks up at her panties in one of the earlier episodes. Everybody either wants to be with him or be him, and I really hated him in episode 16.

In episode 16 he gives her a hickey because he didn’t want anyone else to see her in that swimsuit. That’s so fucking creepy and extremely rude of him, especially since he had no position whatsoever to do that to her. Like if she wanted to go in that outfit then let her, don’t be so goddamn controlling. Don’t get me wrong, it’s cool for me to see possessiveness or jealousy or whatever in anime or manga, but I mean not to this level, especially if theyre not even in a relationship and stuff. And I also felt really awful for Misaki when she couldn’t go to the hot springs with the rest of her maid friends, because she had seemed so excited to go. And I hate how the show makes Usui as this dreamy guy when he hugs her and helps her when he finds her outside in the middle of the night frightened of ghosts. Yet he was the one who put her in that goddamn situation in the first place because he gave her that hickey.

Aside from those two, the side characters don’t really do all that much in the show and aside from a few they’re pretty unforgettable too imo.

Anyways, I just wanted to know: is it still worth watching the last eight episodes?

You could try 'akatsuki no yona' instead

That's shoujo for you mate...
I also hated some parts of the anime and I didn't like it that much either...
This anime has the tendency to piss people off for some reason...
But still I finished it for the sake of completion...
You can do the same it's only 8 episodes...

Congrats, you've discovered the shojo formula: have a perfect, white knight hero who everyone wants, but the only one he's interested in is our plain Jane heroine which makes her easy for the audience to self insert into. There, a perfect Cinderella story.

Of course, not all shojo romance follow this formula. If you haven't already, watch Lovely Complex. The main duo there is very different from your typical shojo romance in that they are flawed. That means no one puts them on a pedestal, and it's just these two, understanding and making up for each other's shortcomings as together they grow. It feels real and IMO, that's peak romance.

Attackonfiller said:
You've got to consider the main audience, which is hormone addled teens lol. This shit only works because Usui is dreamy. All those uncomfortable, creepy situations will find nothing but excitement in many viewers lol.

Like the guy above me said, this is a Shoujo. It focuses more on female demographics, that's why Usui is potrayed like a perfect dude. That's the same as normal Shounen romance where the waifus are beautiful and has unique characteristics (tsundere, kuudere, rich girl with issues, big oppai, she cared a lot for the MC, etc). For a Shoujo, this is quite good IMO(Male viewer). If you're interested in trying another Shoujo, I'd recommend Ao Haru Ride and Orange.

I literally felt the same way.i didn't really like this anime and I hated usui. And I don't think the last 8 episodes are worth it.

Tyraq said:
Have u not watched a shoujo before

AlexAN1 said:
Since the other people told you what is a Shoujo i will also say that this anime is unfinished. The manga ended if i remember good, i won't give you spoilers since u still have 8 episodes left, but u should watch them.

DrPirahna said:
SAME,bro I don’t know how that guy finds time for every language lessons,studying,chess,sports,chilling on a roof of school and stalking girl in a maid cafe💀.You dropped show for good there would be a new guy who is like good and human like but he would be fucking ignored.

Second,Main girl is acting all feministic but always seems like she needs an Usui to fix a problem with his extreme charm and over the top protectiveness

honyax said:
i actually agree with you with all of these. THANKU FOR EXPLAINING BC im not great at expressing myself so this helped me clear up what i should say the next time someone asks why i ion like it. as attractive this mf usui is, he is mad annoying. n the plot bored me ngl. if you want some recommendations, lovely complex, nana, kimi ni todoke is cute (i recommend reading the manga too), kamisama kiss is ok too. i would finish maid sama bc why not, not that many eps left but i would understand if you dropped it lmao

It’s okay to have a wrong opinion don’t worry dude ;)

soratoru said:
The first time I watched this anime, I didn't notice any of the shit behaviour he has done or more like I was too focused on his dreamy appearance. If I were to watch it again now, I'm sure I would feel the exact
same feelings as you. Hence why I rather not.

The show promotes toxic behaviour and it's full of bad written characters. Though I still think that watching it all is a good idea so you have an overall solid opinion on it.

Also, I hope you don't bash the whole shoujo genre in general. Cause although there are many bad shoujo like this one, there are also plenty of them that are worth the watch and time. For example, Oregairu, Fruits Basket, Nana, Watakoi(?) and many more.

EggyNaeggy said:


Dude just letting you know there’s no such thing as a wrong opinion ;)

EggyNaeggy said:


Lmfao I agree about the Usui part he’s really hot. The only good trait about him to me LMFAO.

And I understand what you mean definitely gonna pick this series up again.

And yeah I dont hate the entire shoujo genre actually, I really like the magical girl animes which I think are part of the shoujo genre? And Ouran High School Host Club left a really good impression on me too (really loved the twins and Tamaki aside from his behavior in episode eight lmao).

And thx for the recs!

MKiZoku said:
I thought I made it clear that I was joking, sorry about that

EggyNaeggy said:


OH IM SO SORRY I DID NOT REALIZE

I’m really bad at picking up sarcasm online lmao, very sorry about that

Sharmat_00 said:
Yeah, I'm pretty toletant towards weird shit in anime like incest, lolita stuff, etc.

But this anime came across as somewhat abusive honestly. And not the comedic haha teasing kinda thing. But usui is actually a pretty shitty dude. Its not offensive to me, its more like I find it angered me to watch him be such a tool to such a good girl.

Definitely not a fan either, idk why this is one of jc-staffs higher rated shows.

You lasted 17 episodes I couldn't even bear three episodes before dropping it

It’s okay! I was just making a joke because I liked it and all. Lol no hard feelings here dude :)
