Even if it was only for the cash, I'd feel bad to have this role as dubber...
Honestly though I would rather dub Pico from BnP, this anime is hell, kill it.....

Read the title, Yoshiko obviously has no common sense nor respect for personal space and she's irritating, I don't blame Akuru.

If either of you are arguing about this being about equality you're overestimating the message of a gag anime.

That said I absolutely love Yuuki Aoi, she's probably my favorite VA just below Taneda Risa, but her voice doesn't quite fit this role.

Well, stop watching animes then.
I mean, you surely love watching real life violence in live-action series/movies, what are you even doing here?

Or is this just because the "victim" is a girl?
Well then "Mangaka-san to Assistant-san" is for you.
This is by the same author and has the same level of "violence".
But the victim is a male.

Happy now?

Even if there is gender equality being represented here, I don't think that is enough to carry the anime in anyway because I don't care all that much in the long run.

To be honest when a girl hits a boy every time the guy does something stupid, nobody complaints about it and they just shrug it off.

But when a boy hits a girl if the person does something stupid, then apparently it is an issue...

I imagine the difficulty of the chase is more rewarding than the catch to some people, as well as the idea that it is easier to show drastic character development from hate to love, especially with unrealistic exaggerations of violence. This allowing the moe to trickle through, with the resulting dere juxtaposing the tsun, thus making it appear earned, genuine, etc. It seems related to idol worship, among other things, where the less one knows the better they appear, especially with those who keep to themselves or at a distance.

Not entirely sure why.

I bet you are the type of guy that loves anime with girls beating the shit out of the guy but not vice versa. Putting the "you should not hit girls" into anime is just idiotic. I, at least once in a while, would like to see a main character that is not a pussy. Even if the slapstick is against a girl. There are too many anime with guys getting the shit beat out of them and they aren't even funny.

I thought it was a fun first ep, but around ep 5 it is going to need some kind of new gimmick. I can't see that her being mad for Bananas and him hitting her for being stupid will stand for 10-12 eps.

That being said, its lighthearted comedy, I enjoyed it, but they can't just repeat this for 12 eps.

Who cares if you somebody doesn't like the anime or even if every human being in the world does not like the anime, if people think she nails the voice acting, then it's OK.
It would be nice to feel bad to her only if this anime dragged her career down, which I don't think so.
If you feel bad for her because she is voicing as MC of an anime that you think sucks, then fine.

Because, you know. The main audience for animu that feature only cute girls doing cute things are male in gender. Anything else beyond that, and the male audience would rip the whole industry apart. There are people who go into butt-hurt mode every time an anime title for the female audience becomes more popular than a CGDCT title.

I say "What's Good For The Goose Is Good For The Gander." There are literally TONS of anime titles where shounen get the crap beaten out of them by women for no freaking reason other than for lols. There should be more titles where the same lols can be found from women getting the crap beaten out of them by men.

Because women are the most frequent victims of domestic and gender violence in real life and people get uncomfortable when it's played for laughs. Men make less victims of such violence so it's not taken so seriously. I know this because there are a shit ton of anti violence flyers in the universities I have been there are clearly targeted towards women.

Ideally speaking such people should either be:

A. Ok with comedic violence against both in fiction.
B. Not ok with comedic violence regardless of gender.

I can assure you, it makes no difference.

As for Aoi's performance, she's the prefect fit for the role. I guess being a superb voice actress has such implications. I bet the role is an interesting experience for Aoi herself as well. After all, it is a role outside the usual (goth) loli archetype that anime viewers have come to associate her with.

Shortly after making Aoi Yuuki the first seiyuu in my favorites, I watched the PV without knowing she was in the show, and I thought Yoshiko and the violence were both obnoxious. I said to myself "Well, I maybe this will at least be a break for the voice actress." Then I found out it was her. Ha! So I watched the show anyway. I don't find the violent gags very funny for the most part, but Yoshiko is so charming that I'm hooked. That's partly the performance, but also the way she's animated.

https://www.yahoo.com/beauty/the-number-of-male-domestic-1284479771263030.html (female author)
Yet in 2010, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released data from its National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey — and one of the most shocking statistics wasn’t just the sheer total of victims of physical violence but also how those numbers broke down by gender.

According to the CDC’s statistics — estimates based on more than 18,000 telephone-survey responses in the United States — roughly 5,365,000 men had been victims of intimate partner physical violence in the previous 12 months, compared with 4,741,000 women. By the study’s definition, physical violence includes slapping, pushing, and shoving.

More severe threats like being beaten, burned, choked, kicked, slammed with a heavy object, or hit with a fist were also tracked. Roughly 40 percent of the victims of severe physical violence were men. The CDC repeated the survey in 2011, the results of which were published in 2014, and found almost identical numbers — with the percentage of male severe physical violence victims slightly rising.

“Reports are also showing a decline of the number of women and an increase in the number of men reporting” abuse, says counselor and psychologist Karla Ivankovich, PhD, an adjunct professor of psychology at the University of Illinois, Springfield.

Ivankovich says there isn’t much buzz about these numbers or their implications, because we don’t know how to handle intimate partner violence against men. “Society supports that men should not hit women, by virtue — but the same is not true for the reverse,” she explains. “The fact is, it’s simply not acceptable to hit anyone.”

Yet, woman-on-man violence is often turned into onscreen amusement — or the punch line of a larger, depressing narrative, says Anne P. Mitchell, a retired professor of family law at Lincoln Law School of San Jose (Calif.) and one of the first fathers’-rights lawyers in the country.

She points to the case of John and Lorena Bobbitt, which made national news more than 20 years ago when Lorena cut off her husband’s penis. The aftermath turned into a circus, and details would go on to reveal a volatile marriage, but Mitchell says the initial response of many radio and talk shows was just to laugh at the incident. “If something remotely similar had happened to a woman, there would have been a very different response,” Mitchell tells Yahoo Health.


http://www.batteredmen.com/straus99.htm
In the mid 1970s my colleagues and I made the disturbing discovery that women physically assaulted partners in marital, cohabiting, and dating relationships as often as men assaulted their partners. This finding caused me and my former colleague Suzanne Steinmetz to be excommunicated as feminists. Neither of us has accepted that sentence, but it remains in force. So when Salman Rushdie was condemned to death for his heresy, we may have felt even more empathy than most people because we had also experienced many threats, including a bomb threat.

The vitriolic 20-year controversy had largely subsided by 1997. There are a number of reasons the controversy subsided. One reason is the overwhelming accumulation of evidence from more than a hundred studies showing approximately equal assault rates. Another is the explosive growth of marital and family therapy from a family systems perspective which assumes mutual effects.

FACILITATORS OF ASSAULT BY WOMEN WITHIN THE FAMILY [see http://www.batteredmen.com/straus99.htm for "inhibitors of assault by women outside the family"]

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/bari-zell-weinberger-esq/its-time-to-acknowledge-m_b_8292976.html (female author)
When we discuss domestic violence, it is often assumed that the victims are women. And the statistics are truly traumatic. The less-told story is that a striking number of men are victims, too, suffering physical, mental and sexual abuse in both heterosexual and same-sex relationships. According to the CDC, one in four adult men in the U.S. will become a victim of domestic violence during his lifetime. That’s upwards of three million male domestic violence victims every year, or one man in America abused by an intimate or domestic partner every 37.8 seconds.

Highlighting these statistics is not meant to downplay in any way domestic violence among women. It is, however, intended to add to the growing conversation that anyone can be the victim of domestic abuse and everyone who needs protection deserves access to it.

Male victims of domestic violence, just like female victims, often deal with intense self-doubt and anxiety before reaching out for help. Victims may fear their abusers will seek retribution if they go to the police, or they feel great uncertainty about leaving their home for temporary safe house shelter. Men and women can both experience these kinds of worries. But one barrier to that tends to only apply to male victims? The belief that domestic violence laws and resources don’t apply to them. [The article goes on to explain that this belief is unjustified; see link.]

Fear: Men Who Seek Help Are Weak
Reality Check: Many men don’t seek help for domestic abuse because they fear that it will make them look weak. The truth? There are few actions that require as much bravery as walking away from an abusive relationship. To recognize that you are in need of help and then take the steps needed to get it is not weakness. It’s a sign of strength.

I wouldn't expect this level of slap-stick and off the wall comedy from an Aoi Yuuki role. I kind of like it.

She seems more like someone who'd get typecast into "cute girls doing cute things" shows, so it's nice to see her in a role where she can really be loud and goofy, instead of shy and weepy and cutesy.
