I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| This sounds like a problem. |
 |
| Just another otome trash getting adaption huh. |
| Honestly, this sounds like it could be really fun. Won't get my hopes up, but prob will check this one out |
| I've heard peoples that were really enjoying that one, it's quite a unique setting, could be nice. |
 |
| I've seen that LN cover somewhere before as I recall seeing that villainess' face. I might watch this for the villainess. Why not? This could be fun. |
| What!? Is this really happening? Bakarina is getting an anime??? |
| I was interested in this one. |
 |
| Obvious bad isekai LN but for women. It doesn't make this terrible trend any better. |

Wrong, its quite original parody on otome games and their fandom. Although among the western fans this title is better known for its fake yuri, because of that, in the West, manga-adaptation is quickly gaining a peripheral audience due to the erroneous perception of the title as a bisexual slice of life harem. |
 |
| Question for anyone who's read the LN: Does she respawn whenever she gets to a end where she loses, or is this a linear story? Either could be good, but I kinda hope its the former despite myself. We could have a whole Long Live the Queen scenario. (Pretty great game btw, you should check it out) EDIT: @RobertBobert |

Western fans and their delusions once again. Damn you tumblr. |
|
| @Swagernator Well, you can look at how the original LN is advertised and what tags it always had. But for some reason, people too serious perceived yuri gags in the plot, which is why in the west this parody reverse harem has more yuri fans among its audience than girls. |

ecchiharemgeek said: Just another sexist otome trash getting a adaption Sexist otome - are you talking about the title, where a female MC because of the stupidity gathers a harem from guys and girls? In this story there is no sexism, only a pure parody of cliches and mechanics of otome games. |
|
| That's one hell of a weird synopsis. Not sure what to think |
  |
| A otome game? Hmm Idk |
| Yes! Bakarina in anime form! |
 |
| An otome game isekai? Hmmm... |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Sounds fun. Any anime from the eyes of the antagonist is refreshing. |
 I don't watch as much anime as before... |

This thing is not. Is his comment reductive and unhelpful, yeah, but it's not the best approach to start pulling hairs over genre classification. Just tell him to fuck off, lol This isn't what I mean. I don't even care about this series. But I'm sick of people throwing words like isekai left and right when it isn't one. It has come to a point where even some official magazines will label stuff like SAO as isekai as well. |
"Vaut mieux se suffire à soi que finir assoiffé dans le monde des apparences."  |
| So it's a story about a girl who has to cuck other people? I'm in! |
 |
| I'm currently reading the manga and like it. Lol She's trying so hard not to make enemies out of the key characters, but they all end up having some crush of her. Even the ladies. Not sure if should watch the anime tho. I'm bad at keeping up with those. |
 |
| I was talking about the setting. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Actually sounds interesting. |
| Sieg Zeon! |
| I only read parts of this before and it's actually pretty funny. It doesn't have a serious story and satires otome themes. Watch it for the comedy for sure. |
 |
| > Comedy is only my type |
 |
| Actually sounds interesting. I'm in. |
| |
| ohmigosh, yes!!! Bakarina's getting an adaptation! |
 'nom' |
| @RobertBobert as i read the comments here, i'm starting more and more see what you were saying. |
|
| It's shoujo but sounds really interesting. Gonna keep an eye on it. |
| Read this one, It's the best. Story about a girl made toy snakes. |

|
| I've plan to read the Novel... Good that it got an adaptation. |
RobertBobert said: Swagernator said: @RobertBobert as i read the comments here, i'm starting more and more see what you were saying. I hope this was not an ironic comment about my bad grammar, lol. No im very well aware of people projecting their sexual preferences into medium, so what you said is absolutely true. |
|
| Just caught up to the manga , Man what a series.Cathrina is such a good M.C to be honest. Trying to solve the problem in her new wolrd is really amusing for me. |
 |
| My sister told me good things about it, so I'll check it out. |
ecchiharemgeek said: Just another sexist otome trash getting a adaption Congintive said: Just another otome trash getting adaption huh. >bitching about things you don't know /omegalolz It's a parody of Otome Games, and it's not even exactly a shoujo, it feels more like a slice of life isekai comedy. Emphasys on the Comedy tag, as the magical setting is kind of just "there", to add spice to the fun. It's nothing MASTERPIECE levels of writting, is just some casual fun. RobertBobert said: @Swagernator Well, you can look at how the original LN is advertised and what tags it always had. But for some reason, people too serious perceived yuri gags in the plot, which is why in the west this parody reverse harem has more yuri fans among its audience than girls. Likely because of chapter 9, where Bakarina tries to be overly nice to the heroine to avoid being hated by her, and is treated nicely back since she is, well, a nice girl paying goodness with goodness. Also, tumblr. If 2 girls of similar age are friendly with each other, and talk about things beyond pretty boys, must be lesbiaaaaaaansss... |
| FGO NA Code: 482.072.599 (F2P thug life of savings...) Ben-to! best nonsensical action anime. Ever. |
| @Fabris Yeah, thanks for reminding me. I am still afraid to discuss some shows, even definitely heterosexual, due to the fact that tumblr-girls begin to treat any tension between heroines as sexual tension. It is also strange, as if I read yaoi and yuri manga solely for the sake of hope to see there any opportunity for heterosexual ships. |

I guess the vast majority of fictional works with romances being about hetero couples makes the LGBTQABCDEFG people feel kind of starved for relatability, and slash/femslash things a little too strongly, forgetting is just personal fanfiction (in most cases, ar least; DR3 trolled me with Juzo being actual closet gay). I mean, there must be some people who watched Nanoha and conceived Yuno as a nice potential worthy romantic partner for Nanoha, yet nobody is suggesting their personal fanfics are canon...as far as I know. Cuz Nanoha-Fate-Vivio are clearly a lesbian family, by season 3. All canon and I am full okay with that... |

Well, I understand that and I can easily understand yuri shipping in a show like Madoka or Nanoha. Even if we are talking about slash fanfiction around sports shounen serias. But lately, it’s all so obsessive and so roughly ignoring any possible context and motives in the interaction between the characters, that I’m already starting to be frightened. |
