Some people are trying hard to convince me that this show has high ratings due to selfinsert and other pandering to the male audiences, but I thought I'd ask you directly. What exactly drew you to this show? Interesting characters and their dynamics, some tropes and plot, or really fanservice?

I actually picked up the manga last year? Year before? and saw that the cover had a really cute girl on it. Read the back and loved that it was about cosplay (I'm a cosplayer) so decided to get it and read the manga. I've been hyped for the show ever since it got announced.

The characters relationship and dynamics. And I love seeing people being excited about their hobbies. I grabbed volume one when I seen ppl hyping the manga a couple days before episode one dropped and before I knew it, I had blasted theough all 69 chapters in two days.

When i first watched the trailer I thought "this blonde waifu it's a mix between nagatoro and Alice from shinigami bocchan and with good animation quality. I have to watch it"
I still think the same :)

I watch every romance that airs. Plus what’s the problem with it pandering to the male audience? There are multiple anime that pander to the female audience? Aren’t we passed this whole thing, does it really matter?

interesting concept (plus I just watch most anime for an ep or two at least), I didn't know it was going to be fanservice at all to be honest, though, yeah definitely is a bit lol, it's pretty good so far, give the first episode a try and if you don't like it from there, you probably just won't like it

So, at least openly and consciously, no one is watching this purely because of fanservice? Nobody at all?

From what I understand, my opponent just took it as "shameless waifu bait", so trying to prove that people love the show just because of that became too personal for him.

That’s so dumb, haha. I’ve seen that argument used on any show another person didn’t like with a cute protag. What a lame argument. Every show has a “waifu” to people.

You underestimate how tenacious people can be in defending the most delusional positions if for some reason it has become too personal for them.

Basically it doesn’t notify me when someone I am “ignoring” comments on my comments. It’ll also make it to where it automatically not show there comments unless I choose to see it. There was one dude that followed me every forum to try to pick a fight with me. He even picked a fight with me when I was agreeing with him. The other two tried to emotionally bait me, so I “ignored” them because MAL moderators were getting mad at me for commenting back mean things.

For those reasons alone is why I think anime fans are some of the most toxic people, especially some MAL users.

I don't think it's an anime problem, it's more about people with big egos who are not able to control themselves in an argument with the first one who will stand firm enough in their position regardless of being right.

I get why people see the series waifu bait initially but reading a couple chapters or even watching episode 1 you should clearly see this series has so many things going for it that it’s a delight to read and watch it should be obvious why people like it, but some still choose to be ignorant and assume the worse and some are actually thinking this is a self inserted type of series??? I swear people are dumb sometimes but this just shows that some are stupid by choice

I think the problem isn't so much with the waifu, but with the fact that I denied that people are watching it mainly because of the fanservice.

I've read the manga before, and while at first the character design catches my interest, it was the cosplay from the costume maker's point of view that make me stay. It spent more time on how to make and do the cosplay rather than the cosplay itself.

Also, the character's interaction and development are very good later on, it overshadows the fanservice for me.

I think most people came from the manga, when they heard this was getting an anime adaption. The manga is pretty wholesome and who doesn’t like a cute girl thrown into the story? Though I think some people just came for the fan service.

Saying that it's popular because of " selfinsert and other pandering to the male audiences" is kind of silly when you consider that there are literally hundreds, if not thousands of anime that do both of those things much better and with a much greater focus on them.

I was drawn to the anime because I've read the manga since almost the beginning of its publication, and what drew me to the manga was how cute the chemistry between Wakana and Kitagawa is and how wholesome the show as a whole is. And to be honest, the manga at least, has very scarce uses of fan service.

I saw this beautiful girl and I was looking forward to the show. I thought it will be a wholesome anime but things got out of hand way to quickly. We already saw her in bikini and she's not holding back. To be honest I like it

What drew me was back like over a year ago I was on Discord and I was on Mudae bot (A bot that just summons anime/manga/game characters). I got Marin and thought she was pretty so I got interested in the Manga and now here is the anime. I also find the concept of cosplay very interesting like what process do they go thru and how do they do it. A random recommendation is Shirobako which is an anime about making anime.

I was drawn in by the beautiful animation and the premise as I have no knowledge in the world of making dolls but honestly the fan service is kinda throwing me off like idk how to explain it, but I kinda want the show to remain wholesome altogether I guess… anyway I hope it doesn’t get to out of hand

I love this because from what i've read of the manga ( with as little spoilers as I can) Marin is a genuinely fun and loveable goofball who hyperobsesses with everything she likes and has a extremely well written romance with the main character Gojo. One of my favorite things about the series is that Marin is open about her love of anime, cosplay, games etc, she collects merch, she talks about it with her popular girl friends who arnt anime fans but who arnt bothered that shes a major otaku and just love her for being her. Theres fanservice but Manin loves and idolizes sexual characters to the point where she wants to cosplay them. Theres so much more to the story than nerd makes clothes for sexy anime girl and I love it.
