I have read some comments that the reason why they hate this anime is because, "It's Unrealistic" and it will never happen in real life.

I am not the only one seeing a problem with this statement right?!

I’m afraid I cannot agree with you. Not on the basis of your statement but simply because you do not understand the concept of a superlative.

People seem to hate on the series because either is too loud and believe the jokes fall flat or because it’s cringeworthy. Subjective. Both times. IMO.
I would assume some people failed to understand that this is meant to be a comedy, a satire, a parody of the Harem genre and it’s not taking itself seriously.
It’s just meant to give joy and entertainment at the absurdity of the whole premise and it still has wholesome moments here and there.
If the haters or critiques start to take this seriously they will easily notice all the flaws the series has and won’t be able to enjoy it, hence hating it because it will feel like wasting your time.

Because if I want a satire, it must be aware that it sucks (and be funny too). If Kanojo mo Kanojo reaches GinTama levels of self-awareness I'd would be universally loved

this 10000000000%. I love the hell out of this anime because it mixes the concept of being a Romcom while not taking it seriously.

I can counter and say that the dumbest reason for why people like this series is because they claim it's "satire". And apparently being satire means you can do anything you want and deflect any and all criticism.

It's cringe? Yeah but it's satire.
It's cliche? Yeah but it's satire.
It's unfunny? Yeah but it's satire.

Really anything you say will just be met with "well it's satire". As if satires can't be good or badly written too. I mean I respect people if they like the series. I personally don't. But when people do their mental gymnastic as if they're practicing for the Olympics, in order to justify why this has a low rating, that's just comes across as dumb. Like how people take it "too seriously" is a common one I hear. Like really, I don't think anyone would watch this series and expect it to be taken seriously. It's obvious to anyone. That is absolutely not the reason why people don't like it. Or that they "don't understand" that it's a parody...Again...No...Maybe it's just that the supposed "parody" is just not good at all at being one.

Comedy is quite subjective. I would personally say it is the most subjective genre even. So the fact that some like this and some don't isn't weird at all. But when people try to blame it on external sources, making it the viewer's own fault for why they didn't like it, that just comes across as insanely dumb. "You just didn't understand it and you took it too seriously". Instead of just accepting the fact that maybe they did understand it and maybe they didn't take it too seriously, but they still didn't find it to be good.

I check you profile, You give Nichijou a 9.

I also watched Nichijou, I will not say its bad (I give it a 8/10) But honestly there are more boring moments in Nichijou than the funny moments.

In Girlfriend Girlfriend when I watched it, every episode has atleast 1 funny moments.

As someone who's poly, this show isn't all that unrealistic. If anything, it shows a pretty realistic take about several issues regarding people who start non-monogamous relationships (jealousy, inadequacy, poly saturation, etc). There are times where they go overboard for comedic effect, obviously, but for the most part, relationships like this and the issues with it exist! Anyone who says differently either doesn't know about poly, or refuses to acknowledge it outright.

Interesting. In a poly relationship, is it traditional to ignore your partner telling you she doesn't want to be in a poly relationship until you eventually browbeat her into giving into your demands?

At what point is there brow beating? They explicitly ask for her permission, and discuss what the intentions were behind wanting this. At no point are they intimidating her in an abusive way. Of course, at first, she says no because this is "cheating", which it isn't (because again, they go to her and ask, instead of hiding it). This is sort of a condensed version of what happens in real life, where upon first suggestion, people are against the idea of poly until more is explained/explored. Obviously, things in this show are exaggerated for comedic/dramatic effect, so it's obviously not a play-by-play on how poly starts.

Okay, and the fact that she's still not okay with it?

Naoya knows full well that Saki is weak to pressure. And he took advantage of this fact to continue pushing her until she said "yes". She said no, and rather than respect her "no" and drop the idea of dating Nagisa, he ignored her opinion and kept pushing her until he got the answer that he wanted, giving her no alternatives. There was no "if you say no then I won't date Nagisa", that was never an option. There was only "I'm going to do this either way, and you're going to have to be okay with it."

She consents to him being with the both of them. They're literally in a poly relationship this whole season. Did you not watch the same anime? If she truly stuck with not wanting to do this, they would've broken up.
Look, I get the idea that you either don't know about how poly works, or you just flat out don't agree with it. But if that's the case, just say that outright, rather than projecting your own feelings onto a character who clearly chose differently than you would've.

Understanding that your selfish wants to keep a person all to yourself purely out of insecurity and jealousy (both of which are bad and unhealthy habits to break when dealing with poly), and contending that by making it work despite those feelings in order to stay with someone you love is YES, something that happens in poly. You keep making it sound like Saki is miserable the whole damn time when she's not. She grows to enjoy being around Nagisa, and supports her. She can leave whenever she wants (and had a whole season to leave if she was truly miserable). She's not being forced to stay, dude.
Saki knows an ultimatum wouldn't work, so she agrees and makes it work between the three of them. Saki clearly has a *lot* of insecurities to work through, and a lot of those are addressed because of the type of relationship they're in. She is actively choosing to stay in this poly relationship even though it brings out many of her insecurities, and challenges her notion of what a "normal" relationship dynamic is.

She isn't "actively" choosing to stay in the relationship, she's "forced" to stay in it, because the alternative is worse. She's alone and miserable and the only person she ever loved is out of her life. She doesn't want that, so she's forced to put up with something she doesn't want. And rather than acknowledge this, Naoya makes empty platitudes that don't actually address her problems, just put off the issues indefinitely. That isn't a healthy relationship. And her repayment for that is her boyfriend's continue lack of respect for her, and Nagisa, as well, as you'll see in his future actions and disregard for their input in the relationship and what they want. It's not insecurity when Naoya ACTUALLY treats her worse than the other women in his life.

Face reality, Naoya is a shitty boyfriend who cares more about what he wants than about what makes his girlfriends happy.


Also, why is it such a bad thing to want your partner to be committed to you? She only loves Naoya, is it unreasonable to want the same from him? "I have to let my boyfriend sleep with other women, because to not allow that would be selfish of me." That is a VERY dangerous mindset to internalize. The idea that she doesn't want the person she loves to also be seeing another girl is considered to be a "selfish" and wrong thing is a horribly toxic attitude to condone. If she said "no" she's now being selfish, jealous, and insecure because she doesn't want her boyfriend dating someone else? If Saki decided to date another guy, is she able to? Would Naoya be okay with that? Because his characterization up until this point says no.

Wow...way to turn Saki into a damsel in distress when she clearly isn't.
And real classy of you to insert spoilers from the manga, despite the fact that I've only seen the anime. Nice.
Yeah, I think I'm done trying to educate someone who's both petulant and blatantly ignorant and inexperienced about relationships. Peace out.
