Piromysl said: That's your experience, however Mahiro did not appear to be taking the NEET life quite that hard, at least from what I've seen so far. Him calling himself a "home security guard" suggests he became somewhat content to stay at home, drifting through life as a young man, and being turned into a girl didn't really change that attitude toward drifting through life.LostSpectre said: The thing is, Mahiro WAS miserable as a NEET, so you could even turn him into a dog and he wouldn't complain (too much), because alternative of him returning to NEET ways is just worse. At that time he was at the very bottom. I can tell you from personal experience, that as a recovered NEET with 2 years experience, being in such situation is completely different what is usually portrayed. Those people are completely aware of being a failure, being a burden on society and family, have non existent self-esteem and motivation, which makes it harder for them to pull themselves up and even are anxious, that their parent will walk in any moment and kick them out of the house, amongst other things. It is NOT sunshine and rainbows and completely strips mental health. This is the situation Mahiro was in, so when his sister offered him something that looks like a fresh start, he obliged.@StopShot I really don't agree with the notion that if you're comfortable with your sex/gender that you would automatically be miserable if you somehow ended up in this situation. I feel like people with more conservative viewpoints on gender roles, higher levels of sexism and homophobia, etc. would be the people immediately freaking out, even if they knew the change was just temporary. Like, if I knew it wasn't permanent I think I could manage easy enough, but I wouldn't act super feminine for no reason, I'd get a haircut and dress low key. The biggest obstacle would obviously be in terms of anatomy, that would be a mindfuck, but I wouldn't be overly insecure about having sex as a female, etc. I'm positive, that if Mahiro was a productive member of society, his reaction would be vastly different and most people seem to agree that her methods of helping her brother (if that even is her goal), are nothing short of messed up. Anyway, if it turns out, that Mihari is exploiting Mahiro's mental state for her experiments and amusement, then foreshadowing is there, because even in this episode she was seemingly manipulating him into not reclaiming his masculinity. @ StopShot There's no need to write a wall of text just to say, that some people project themselves on him. Just like I can do the same with how Mahiro perfectly represent how male mental health is not being taken seriously and played for laughs. I'm not seeing much manipulation from Mihari in getting Mahiro to act girly, aside from supplying him with only girly clothing. It seems to mostly be coming naturally to Mahiro.  TsutanaiFuun said: Probably working on the assumption that girls are much more sociable than boys, so he's more likely to get more in-person interaction with other people as a girl than as a boy.and i also wonder what kind of brain activity made miharu think that changing his gender would help him become better. i get the "fresh start" thing but if she really wanted to help him she could have turned him into a little boy and i think that would have been even more beneficial. |

LoL bruh. Literally entire reason he became a NEET is because he was miserable and felt inferior to his younger sister. It is ludicrous to say that he was content in that state. And her subtle manipulation wasn't really that subtle. She literally told him in the face that he should not try being masculine. |

Piromysl said: Well maybe he was less than content with the NEET life, but if this anime wanted to depict someone at "rock bottom" mental health, it would have to give Mahiro a much more depressive attitude (and I can think of at least 2 other anime which get closer to that). (I think it's next episode he comes to a sudden realization he's sort of "trash" for staying at home while Mihari works to support him.)LoL bruh.

| really enjoyable, it definitely worth watching |

Foreshadowing about his sister being manipulative is there. People seem to agree, that her methods are at least very questionable. I honestly hope it won't turn out how I expect it, but I guess we'll see. |

| This is the best-looking anime of the season for me. Movement, check, relatively-speaking-unique-art-style, check, detailed, check, Studio Bind, check |

| KAWAII dress ups, lol Wish I could just lounge around and play game all day long while dressing up in cute outfits. And a period huh... Mihari should just explain it to Onii-chan right at the beginning instead of trying to bash it around until way later. Tho still interesting that a lot of ppls doesn't know what a period is or the symptom of it. Too bad schools health education in any part of the world doesn't teach about this stuff... they only teach you about sex stuff... most girls had to literally learn it from their mothers, and if they don't have one, they have to figure it out themselves. And boys are kept in the dark and doesn't know how to respond until it's too late. (tho part of the reason is cause of "helicopter parents" that pressured schools world wide to keep the education off... and the reason for helicopter parents is cause these parents were raised to think like that by even older helicopter parents... so it's just a giant chain that'll never end.) |

| The comedic timing continues to be great and the episode was even stronger than the previous one. Yonemai End Card [font="\"Proxima Nova Regular\", \"Helvetica Neue\", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"]  [/font] |
| Looks like Mahiro is starting to get used to being a girl. I wonder if he'll turn back into a guy? (Probably not.) |
 |
| 2 episodes in and I've never watched something this cute before. |
Geeljire said: If you have the file I'm thinking about, the OP translation there is fanmade and rather loose.Also the OP song lyrics mention queer but I don't see what this has to do with queer or LGBT since it's not trans but straight up genderbender and biologically becoming the other gender... |
 |
| starting to like this more and more, the op went even harder the 2nd time around. lots of cute scenes and im still loving the art style !! i think its great they involved the stuff about periods, i think ive only seen a total of 2 anime talk about menstruation. i dont see why people are annoyed by it either lol its normal. typical male behavior tho. excited for the next ep im hoping to binge the rest |
| Scratch that on getting Mihari's gend-bend drug, periods look like it hurt from Mahiro's POV also it's been a month already where the heck are their parents lmao |
the public path being filled with old women was hilarious :D thne doing cute poses.    |

| This show is so cute. They are funny together lol. This show caught me off guard with how wholesome it is. |
DreadfulControl said: No. He has been magically transformed into a proper woman. The period scene should have been the last hint that this isn't a confused man who pretends to be a woman. Just accept that it's plot magic and it makes sense.Piromysl said: Well, Mahiro is technically a transgender right nowThis is something Matt Walsh would say, yet Twitter somehow sees "trans representation" in this. And yeah, this conformism is really off putting. It's just that his soul, character, and habits are still male. Funny premise overall. Target audience represented by the sister. Promises lots of cute/perverted stuff. Chance of the anime to be misunderstood by the unhinged LGBT crowd in the West is 99.999% |
| Ah yes Time of the Month. Regret your little exercise there, eh, Mahiro? Also, yes, their sweet past time got revealed, still remembering the golden time, oniichan? Mihari showed more expression here more than just supervising her nii, i kinda like her better here. Lol at her rage tho. But to what extend? |
 Hide and seek is the best offline games on this fatamorgana-called-world-thing. Please comment nicely. I am newbie here. I'm level  on mal-badges. View my badges  |
| lmao I thought she was Pregnant due to self-fertilization, but it turns out to be a Period. |
| So far this is pretty mid, but the animation is actually really good. |
