I feel like many people slept on this show. Ratings are almost 1 point lower than Dress Up Darling and popularity multiple times. Even on social media there is not many people talking about it weekly. I don't feel like this anime is worse no quite the opposite. And I don't understand the backlash about how this show is about sexualizing minors and pedo bait. On that note I can say Marin is 14-15 y.o too. People are missing out on very beautiful visually stunning well executed slice of life with interesting characters. I'm happy I picked up this show.

Because anime “fans” always like to see either the top of the crop shounen, or the most memed/posted rom-com… bonus points if that rom-com is not a harem. It happens all the time.

Oh yeah, and Marin is overhyped waifu bait so there’s that too.

I’d say that I care about the characters less, don’t find it as funny and this show lacks a sort of direction or main story. I do really like both but I prefer My Dress Up Darling by a significant amount. I’d say that the animation in Akebi chan bests that in My Dress Up Darling but that’s not enough to carry it up to My Dress Up Darling standards for me.

Like non non biyori,laid back camp,K-on, this is a show of cute anime girls doing cute things.Its not a show where people are particularly excited for every week.We just watch cause it warms the soul with its cuteness.My dress up darling has cuteness+a romance plot that develops overtime,so there's something to look for each week.Though I do agree that akebi is underrated.

It's the anime hivemind. The hivemind decides what's going to be popular, besides Dress Up Darling was hyped up by manga readers and YouTubers alike, so this goes into account too, then we need to consider that Attack on Titan and Demon Slayer are airing this season too, and we pretty much got our answer: It is simply overshadowed and overlooked, because it doesn't have a unique enough selling point or is a monster of a hype machine.
And the "controversy" regarding the pedo bait, this is just a small minority as far as I'm concerned, I once asked for further evidence about why this show is supposed to be a pedo bait, but I didn't got a satisfying answer to it. Just enjoy what you enjoy, who cares if it's popular or not, and who cares if other people don't like it, as long as you have fun with it, it's good.

Because it's just CGDCT and most guys can't self-insert to a cute girl.

As for the pedo backlash, My dress up darling also got the same.

I do enjoy CGDCT SoL, but with this one I just don't really care about the characters nor I find it really funny, and I think we all can agree that sometimes it's just weird (although others may not care at all).
The quality of the art and animation is definitely there (even with those weird shaped heads), but I think that's about the only thing worth mentioning.
Nothing important. Keep scrolling.

Sono Bisque has got booba so it obviously attracts more audience. Akebi is a SoL with CGDCT elements and it's a niche genre. The audience which can enjoy the heck out of just girls doing normal daily stuff are less. People need a big story and complex plot or just fan-service to keep them watching an anime, Akebi isn't an anime like that, it's just a wholesome SoL with just the girls doing normal stuff and Akebi making new friends. So like I said the general population of audience which watches these type of animes is lesser and thus Akebi is being overshadowed.

But Akebi is really popular within the SoL community at least, most SoL fans are watching it these days.

Also there were some tards who came and said like it's got fetish scenes or something, I didn't even notice that until I read posts like that. It's only fetish if you fetishize it. Those tards have ruined the reputation as well and these so called "good people" don't wanna watch a show that shows fetishes, I mean c'mon.

My dress up darling is a romcom and has much wider target audience than Akebi chan no sailor fuku which is a CGDCT. So it's no surprise at all that the former is more popular than the latter.

because its a happy go lucky, and not too many people like that genre, also you used the word foreshadow wrong, foreshadow means to hint to a detail.

What does "CGDCT" and "SoL" mean?

I also really enjoy this anime. I tend to focus on how these everyday things really are quite amazing when you look at them. The complexities of playing a guitar, the "eye" required for taking good photos, the focus in sports, etc. Each passion has its own unique hurdle to overcome and they're all amazing in their own ways. The many different things humans do really are amazing. But this is definitely just my own perspective.

i guess it's just because there are less people interested in slice of life or yuri anime than those interested in pure high school love story. Plus Dress Up Darling is quiet strong in making and characters as well. Though i am only watching Akebi chan no Sailor fuku currently lol.

Different genres and My Dress-Up Darling is mainly a waifu-bait anime so no wonder why it receives so much more attention.

Dress-up Darling is a waifu bait with plenty of fanservice,so it's obvious ppl are gonna watch it more. IDC though I like both in their own ways... Akebi helps me when I'm stressed.

Well it's CGDCT so that's expected. Unlike in japan that last year, 3 CGDCT animes are on their top 10,Uma Musume, Yuru Camp and Non non biyori.

Imo My Dress Up Darling has something kinda new to offer and that's the cosplay aspect. A lot of people like cosplay now. As for this show yeah it's good but it's pretty basic.

Akebi doesn't have a bad score and its audience numbers are fine too.

And you started with "I feel like many people slept on this show" that's not a comparative statement.

And why compare with a completely different style of show? And one which even by comparison with its peers is doing extremely well.

Cause there less people who enjoy slice of life than romcom or shounen stuff. People like anime that i gave them laugh and hype than stuff that make them relax
(Iyashikei).I kinda predicted it from the beginning of the seasson.Plus my dressup darling it much more famous than Akebi.Almost every anime fan page are posting about this anime other than Akebi.So yea it just come down to different taste and Popularity .Although both show are good and beautiful (i still like Akebi more) But Mydress up darling is more popular beacause most anime fan like comedy romcom and fansevice.My dress up darling have all of that and one of the best visual.No wonder everybody like it.

This Is a CGDCT/Yuri

Boring heterosexual romances almost always gets a higher score, Then Anime with only females and heavy Yuri vibes

But who cares? CW is kicking ass and I only care about my own enjoyment, not how other people point other shows. IMO this is easily the best anime this season. My little lesbians have been all over each other,,,YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES
