Rocksterrock said: I don't wanna be that guy but like... THIS DUDE REALLY BOTHERS ME. This show seems alright so far but the one thing I can't get past is the fact this guy is actually a guy. Like what. In anime, there are prepubescent boys so I guess that would be understandable with the feminine voice, I can deal with that BUT NO, gotta make him into a full blown trap. If he was a girl sure I'd be fine with how he looks but literally the entire first ep I was hoping they would reveal that he's actually a girl but they made it pretty clear that he's a guy. This bothered me so much I had to rant about it on a forum. Am I the only one bothered by this? Am I weird for being bothered by this? Yeah that shit bothered me in Ass class too. It doesnt help that hes acting like an autist too. |
 |
| i don't really care that he's a trap. imo it's more annoying that he's like "i'm accused of being a murderer of my homeroom teacher... who was a murderer too? LOL SOUNDS INTERESTING AND FUN" |
 |
| You aren't wrong. It will probably end up being a major reason why this gets dropped by a lot of people including myself. "He" is a full blown trap and they aren't even trying to overlook it or be cute about it, in fact they are accentuating every female characteristic while dropping dialogue to support "his" gender. Simply put, it's annoying to view. I could easily overlook the trap dynamic as it doesn't really perterb me but there was really nothing else to like about the show to take focus away from that fact. |

| They really have to emphasize that Kobayashi Boy, 13 And my initial reaction? |

| honestly, I thought it was very obvious, even before the show aired. the reaction to koyabashi being a boy is a bit hilarious and overblown. anyway koyabashi is interesting, I like the idea of getting a character who feels very detached and not interested in much having this spark his interest rather than the standard we'd get in this scenario. idk, he's a unique kid who we usually wouldn't get in the protag role. I never expected something super complex from this show, esp from this director, but kobayashi's a unique type that is the show's saving grace for me. |
| Well, people dropping this show for a shallow reason like the main character resembling a female is pretty sad and they're gonna miss out. There's lots of feminine guys out there in reality lol, just get over it and watch the show. |

| well i do think she he has such a cute voice :3 nothing annoying about him for me. |

| Honestly I don't understand why people overreact over the fact that Kobayashi is a dude. His character is much more interesting beyond 'I look like a girl and sound like a gir but I'm a boy lol' The fact that he found his teacher's murder interesting is pretty much a sign that he isn't your normal middle school student. He is dissatisfied with his normal life and he wants an adventure like in the books he read. And he is excited when bad things happen to him, like when he was blamed for his teacher's murder, showing that he didn't think like a normal person. Seriously guys, there's a lot more of Kobayashi than just 'he's a trap!' There's a lot of girly looking boys in anime out there. |
 |
| Kobayashi is based on Yoshio Kobayashi, character from Edogawa's books. He is described as androgynous in his works. |

silverwalls said: i don't really care that he's a trap. imo it's more annoying that he's like "i'm accused of being a murderer of my homeroom teacher... who was a murderer too? LOL SOUNDS INTERESTING AND FUN" Yeah, this, as much as drawing a girl and calling it a boy and giving it a voice actress and still calling it a guy is, what is really annoying is how the characters in the show don't act at all like normal humans would, none of them. When you have no one acting like a normal human you've completely destroyed your story. You literally have nothing, it's just random crap on the screen or some alien drama. This extends to the police whose arrest at the end of the show made no sense either. |
| I think some of you guys are watching the wrong anime and should go for Aoharu X Kikanjuu where the MC is a girl instead of a boy. I will continue watching Ranpo. |
 |
| I honestly don't care if Kobayashi is a trap. It doesn't bother me at all, in fact Kobayashi is going to be the new Hideyoshi from Baka and Test in my opinion. |

Not even on the level of Hdeyoshi's feet. I'll sleep with Hideyoshi, but not with this one. ^_^ Of course, Hideyoshi is one of the best trap characters I seen any anime. After watching two seasons of Baka and Test I actually don't care if Hideyoshi is either a boy or girl. What I meant was that I have to keep telling myself that Kobayashi is boy and not girl. Ranpo Kitan is only have two episodes and so far I can't seem to like Kobayashi. Hopefully the anime gets better in future episodes. |
| I don't know why he being a trap gets so much hate, it's not like who's watching has to make out with him (joke). People go overboard just because a male mc "doesn't act like a man"... it's just an anime, no need to feel offended, too bad there's still too little acceptance of differences. If one's gonna drop the show at least do it because it might end up being poorly written, not because a characteristic. |

| Is the 13 year old, prepubescent boy not masculine enough for you guys? |
| I dont really care Kobayashi is boy or girl. Main problem is his/her personality. I just cannot imagine any sane or mentally healt character who is so happy when he's accused of murder and seen furniture made from human body parts. |
PetalBlizzard said: Is the 13 year old, prepubescent boy not masculine enough for you guys? it's not that he's too masculine, it's that he's too feminine, a 13 year old boy shouldn't look like neither, but here you get this https://zakitakubu.files.wordpress.com/2015/05/key.jpg?w=350&h=200&crop=1 dat ass, like seriously, you can't ignore dat, a male person shouldn't have such anatomy unless they had some sort of physical problem(which though might not be so weird considering how fucked up mentally he is) |
| I can accept if his voice is girly and his pretty face but look at his body curve and ass. There is no way a boy will look like that. That's clearly a girl's body. Is this some kind of new trend in anime for bishounen? |
| not bothered by those delicious curves in the least more bothered by the fact that he's some kind of budding sociopath |

Confusing your dick is something that it does on a daily basis. It takes pride in blurring the lines between right and wrong, male and female, adult or kid. If you think anime should conform to the laws of real life then I have very bad news for you, because barely any do. They do this shit on purpose, to awaken fetishes in people that they never knew they had. Anime is inherently weird and at times uncomfortable, but that's part of its charm. If a simple trap is too much for you to handle, then I'm not sure this medium is for you. At least, when watching it you should drop all morals and just act upon instinct, because if you don't then you must get offended at anime quite often. |
| I can't believe what a fuss people make because of Kobayashi's gender. You're talking like he's the first trap ever in anime. Oh my God, I have never seen something like that, so impressive, a guy that looks like a girl!!!!!!! Bullshit. If a guy that looks a lot like a girl confuses and bothers you that much, you may not be the straight guy you always say you are. Shut the fuck up once and for all. |
| i'm only bothered that he acts like a retard tbh i wouldn't mind if he dies in the final episode |
| I just let myself believe that Kobayashi is a girl every episode I watch, and then I won't bother myself with it either, because otherwise it'd just get too obscure and fetishized. The gender isn't relevant to the story anyway. |

| honestly I couldn't care less if he's a trap or act like a girl (or even more feminine than one) most of the time but I can't take his personality... I'm just glad the last episodes were focused on Akechi and barely had any Kobayashi *sigh* |

Of course I don't mind, that you use the term. Also Takuan_Soho is right about the incorrect use of psychological categorizations. There is only the first episode of Sakurako-san and some people already claim, that she is autistic or insane. |
