Half-and-half. All you need to know. I know waifu bait anime when I see any, though it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s automatically awful by any means. Other aspects need to be weighted and taken into account as well.

I actually heard about the show in advance and put a reminder on it for a couple of reasons, the biggest one is I'm interested to see how close they get towards the end of the series.
Yes she's cute, yes he's painfully timid, yes her secret hobby is out of character, yes his hobby is beyond weird, but I wanna see how close they get.

I go in expecting pure romance SoL but turns out it’s just ecchi waifu bait.

If I want to watch something like that, I much prefer nagatoro because it’s at least funny and everything is like in the trailer/advertised.

This anime is like half baked of everything. Says rom-com but there’s no romance yet and comedy 404 not found.
you expected romance in the first 3 episodes?

Also it isn't a comedy. The tags are Romance and Slice of Life, that's it

Yeah this is year 2022 now. Romance anime has already evolved my friend. Just look at horimiya, bunny senpai and wotaku. So far, the girl is using her body to take advantage of the guy. It’s only sexual attraction and zero romance.

Fanboys have been calling this wholesome rom-com and I fail to see it other than ecchi so far.
Truth is absolute but human perception of truth is always relative.

I won't deny he is sexually attracted to her but that doesn't mean the romance doesn't or can't exist. Their relationships was nothing more than classmates, which will become a friendship with some teasing until it grows into something more.

Also why wouldn't he be attracted to her? Yes, she is pretty but she is the first person to ever look at Gojo and see his love for hina dolls and not judge him negatively for it

And if anything Marin had it worse because she HAD friends but she couldn't discuss her hobby because no one shared in her interests.

Being alone is one thing, but having friends and feeling alone is probably worse in my books. Now she has Gojo to talk about these things with and their circle will likely grow like their relationship

Ah yes, "waifu bait". Yet another buzz word that gets thrown around by every single idiot on this scene as a way to "criticize" something that everyone loves because they aren't even competent enough to formilate actual critical reviews, and so resort to just calling shit "cringy" to make themselves artifically superior and boast about their "superior taste".

70% waifu bait, 30% story. The plot is kinda fresh but it's your typical romance story that only sells because it has a good waifu. I mean, even japanese authors have recognized that having a sympathetic fmc is more important than the plot, so i don't understand why fans get triggered when you call a show "waifu bait", it's not an insult, just reality.

I don't know what waifu bait is to be honest. However, the anime is exactly what it says it is, a slice of life romantic anime about two people from different personal experiences. So if you want to watch a simple anime with a simple plot with decent characters it's a good anime for that so far. I'd personally say it's worth watching assuming you like slice of life animes or simple romantic animes.

True, author of the manga made fun of situation, that his manga is the only Seinen RomCom (or one of few I didn't watch a lot Romance Anime) without fanservice, that got popular, this episode was a kind of parody of the whole genre, this should show the scale of the problem XD Average romcom is like that but whole time.

You know that: Kawaisou, Demi-chan, D-Frag, Hi Score girl, Inari Konkon, Koi Ame, Kono Bijutsubu, Mikakunin, Wave listen to me, Nyan-koi, Love Lab, Rike koi, Servant x Service, Working are all adaptations of seinen manga?

I checked these now, and maybe I am wrong or I'm just using the wrong way to measure the popularity of these titles but for me 100/200/300 k members on MAL is not so popular, I can't check manga/LN or Blu-ray sales of these so I have to rely on statistics from MAL. We really can call these shows popular?

Edit: some of them also had a Harem theme, are you sure there was no forced fanservice in them? :P I didn't watch these so I can't tell.

Waifu bait or not, if you're into that typical romcom stuff, regardless of how trash/good they are, then go for it.

I dig the genre, I don't give two fcks about them girls of the show, nor its unhealthy amount of fanservice. I just want that small pinch of serotonin to spoil my single ass. That's all that really matters.

I mean, yeah, it's waifu bait, but It's not like The Detective is Already Dead for example, where the story is nonsensical and bland, if you like slice of life/romcom, then I see no reason why you wouldn't enjoy this.

A show like this is personally right up my alley.

I can't tell if these shows are popular or not because MAL mambers number it's not so good measure of general popularity, especially in Japan which is main market, maybe these shows are popular but I higly doubt it. I didn't say that other Seinen RomComs without fanservice don't exist, but I found that very few of them have become popular. I am not into this genre in general, maybe Romcoms with fanservice also are not so popular, you should be expert here :P If you watch a lot of Romcoms, you should be able to judge whether series in which there is more fanservice have easier job to become popular.

You are right but Seinen magazines are naturally more open to content containing fanservice. In shounen magazines you can find Romcoms without fanservice easy far as I know. :D

So I was just wrong, now at least my knowledge is increasing, so far I avoided this genre a little, but now I delve a little deeper, so my posts are based on what someone once told me, not on personal experience, thanks for clarifying.

It's worth watching for me atleast, yeah the plot seems kinda cliche but this giving me Kimi ni Todoke vibes and Gojo feels like male version of Kuronuma Sawako, the 2D girl i love the most. Also, Kitagawa Marin is good heroine, just need more depths atleast with his best boy Gojo.

This. For me, i just speedrun the manga think it was fun, atleast. Yeah Marin is cute and prolly the selling point in general but for me all the things Gojo do and his mentality about his hobby is what i loved the most.

If you had to ask me, Gojo existence is #1, All these explanations about cosplay related things is #2, Marin is #3 for me.

But yeah, at some point this series offer hard ecchi lmao.
