What's wrong? You mean beside the underage sexual themes, which are treated in the most stupid way imaginable, the WINK WINK not-incest-hee-hee, and the absolutely atrocious writing?

I can't believe that people are pulling the "don't take it seriously" card. That's exactly the problem, this SHOULD be taken seriously. This show is making light of very serious issues, and this merits criticism no matter the genre or medium.

Also, its jokes fall flat (for me, tastes vary), the characters are all over the place and it is generally just a terrible piece of work except for the decent art. I don't mind trashy shows if they have something interesting on offer, but this one just does not work for me in any way, shape or form. You may disagree, and that is perfectly fine, but I can't just sit and be quiet about this.

Then come back when your comprehension skills are up to par. The characters are not all over the place. What does that even mean? "Terrible piece of work except for the art" You really came to bitch and could not even muster 1 genuine non ambiguous criticism? Seems like the typical triggered nerd. "Serious issues" Get over yourself.

I am not going to take your bait. The OP asks why people hate the show, and I simply replied, because I feel strongly about it. I think sexualization of underage girls (and boys, for that matter) is a very serious issue, and this is by far my main problem with the show, because it treats it as comedy and ecchi eye candy. I do not appreciate the writing and humor, but if you do, that is fine by me. I could go into a lot of detail about the writing, but I don't think it will be of value to either of us at this point. You can call me triggered as much as you want, and of course I'm a nerd, I'm quite proud of that, thank you.

I am 14 and I love this show the boobs look nice I want to squish them XD!!!!!!!!!!!! The colours are nice and pretty. I don't care what people say they hate on everyting that is good like Naruto and SAO XD!!!!!!!!!


Seriously the show is just a bad show... Y'all are getting offended people don't like this show because you think people are hating on your kink. Watch what you want but don't try and claim this show is anything more than it is; lowest common denominator fanservice.
Check out my blog - Very new and a work in progress ~

The industry was built on the sexualization of underage girls, Sailor Chibi Moon, Asuka from Evangelion, you dont get to pretend your somehow above it all. Your only as good as the company you keep.

It has bad characters. Elf Yamada is really the only one who has any life to her. Muramasa is annoying, a walking, topping anime stereotype designed to be moe, right down to the cliche bandages on fingers despite the anime never showing her cooking. The main MC has no personality and really doesn't have any justification why he'd obsess over Sagiri. What was even the point of megumi? She has disappeared from the anime, had no reason why she wanted to be friends with Sagiri, and even the traits that made her interesting (shallowness, popularity whoring) get forgotten for generic cuteness.

Oh and Sagiri.

She's a hikkikomori, but in name only. She acts like a dirty old man towards girls when the anime wants fan service, but somehow doesn't feel the need to date or chase them, instead obsessing over her brother. She's able to talk to people and do things like pull down their panties, despite apparently being so traumatized she locks herself in her room for years. She's just a plot device to fill holes, and the anime seems to have fallen in love with her rivals if anything.

Oh, and apparently everyone is a professional level writer or artist despite barely being 14 at best. Even though it's honestly pointless, the anime currently seems to only use it as an excuse to have the characters interact. Oreimo had a lot more honestly when it focused on circles.

And we're ten episodes in, and it's feeling like glass lip because nothing is happening. Muramasa was the only real plot they had, and they resolved her so quick it seems to have left them with nothing to do but pal around and get to the waifu declarations of love.

Because the MAL (((community))) is full of fucking normies who would prefer shitty anime like Naruto/Yuri on Ice and shitty anime genres like yaoi/shounen/reverse harem/overly melodramatic heterosexual romance anime, that's why.

I don't understand the need for this question at all, especially if you're going to deflect anyone who actually tries to explain.
I'll answer you with questions instead: Do you like this anime?
Do you enjoy it?
Do you believe it's the epitome of excellence in every department that makes an anime (Art, animation, story, characters, music, tackled themes...etc) ?
Then watch it, and have a good time.
But you need to keep some things in mind (this applies to all Eromanga sensei fans who have replied here with some disturbing comments):
1- It is impossible for everyone to like what you like. It's why we have things like "taste" in this universe.
2- Telling people who dislike this anime that they don't "understand" the medium and should only expect from it the same things that you people do is, honestly, extremely stupid. Not everyone views animes the same way, and not everyone watches for the same reasons as you.

Shitty overrated anime like Yuri on Ice/Free!/Kuroko no Basket/Ballroom anime/Naruto/Boruto/Bleach/Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso/Orange/Tokyo Ghoul deserve a 1/10, not "so bad it's good" anime like Eromanga or Inferno Cop.

Still, screw the (((MAL normies))) though.

What is far more of an interesting issue than the one OP is asking for is why all positive reviews of this anime question the impartiality of the negative ones (going against the review guidelines by the way).

The need to find some sort of justification or why the world is wrong by having this down at the #3000 position is simply hilarious.

Who gives a shit when all the reviews, negative and positive, had all been written before episode 4 even came out? The entire review system on MAL is broken and has been hijacked by losers using it as a blog for a very long time. Its hilarious there are still people that do not instantly scroll past them.

In all honesty I don't think it's half bad. Though it seems more like more of something we already have, there is nothing wrong with it.

Chibi Moon was never really sexualized outside of when she was turned into Black Lady.

Asuka was but there was sort of a point to it despite her being terrible.

This show is, but really that's it's only appeal since nothing else is really good in this show. Outside of animation, sometimes, and coloring but that doesn't save it.

By some peoples definition Chibi Moon was, and you give Asuka a pass for an unnamed reason... Eromanga Sensei does not need saving, its doing extraordinarily well.

Child porn is also doing extraordinarily well in the dark web, its fans and seekers growing by the day. So you see, something doing well does not equate it being good. It simply means the show has ignited certain erogenous zones (pun intended) that are massively owned by a certain type of audience.

Oh do not worry dying fan of Eromanga Sensei, I have neither the intention nor the interest of "changing" this anime fans' minds. I'm well aware they're far beyond that.
As for season 2, I for one think it would be great if it happened. It will certainly offer me, and many others I'm sure, plenty of entertainment and smiles in these forums and other places where this anime is being "discussed".

Yes, we are far beyond that. You dont have the intention nor interest of having a discussion, you are just a miserable person drawn to negativity.

You speak of me being "miserable" and "negative", yet I did not insult you or called you anything did I? You're the one calling me and others names here.
Perhaps you should check your own negativity and conduct before you attempt to speak of others.

I don't see it, all of the main girls were way more sexualized and even then it wasn't ever tasteless. Chibi moon never had actual sexualized moments.

Asuka I give a pass because she is intentionally a woman for Shinji to have teenage desires about her. I still hate Eva but I get why she was there and played up as she was.

Eromanga will sell because sis-con, not really since they show constantly reminds you they aren't related by blood, Moe, memes, even though this show has mostly just been dicking around with side girls and dragging out the not admitting to each other as long as possible.

It'll sell sure, but then again so did twilight.

Regardless of the debate on this.

People in the states have been sent to jail for manga duplicating under age kids having sex, or anime and hentai for that matter

The worst this show is at most is fetish baiting, it's almost to the levels of kiss x sis but not quite as lewd.

This thread is still about what people don't like about eromanga sensei. Insulting people and calling them a cuck doesn't contribute anything. Making negative assumptions about people, and then using them to dismiss any legitimate criticisms of a show is in poor taste.

On the other hand, I don't really see how this is incest baiting either. The show says straight up front that they are not blood-related, and they don't even know each other. Right then and there, it just becomes another show about cute girls. If Sagiri was changed from being a step sister to a random squatter that refused to leave the house, literally nothing else in the anime changes. If the show was hoping to be a better Oreimo, it completely failed.

So now the show is just one about cute girls, but it's not that good at it either. There's almost no character development, and nothing happens plotwise (even in a genre where the plot is kind of unnecessary). A great example of bad plot and character development is episode 10.

Its second half has Muramasa decide not to write anymore, and no one questions it until hours later. Then main character #534 motivates Muramasa by showing her his fan letters, basically motivating her by saying how awesome he is. In the end, her goal becomes getting main character #839 to love her, which is a goal she already did. Nothing changes whatsoever and Eromanga-sensei pretends it's some big character development moment.

The show feels so empty, I don't care about anyone or what's going on. If you want to watch cute girls, there's a bunch more that have likable characters, and decent humor that doesn't get drawn out.

Alright lets take a look at your criticisms.

"The show has no character development." Masamune at the start of the show had hardly talked to Sagiri in a year, she had only communicated online. In the episodes up to what we have seen thus far, she has talked to Masamune a great deal, had two new people into her room, and had been partaking in group activities with Masamunes friends via the computer, confessed a great deal of her true feelings to Masamune and has gotten to know him much better, and plenty more.

"Nothing happens plotwise" Elfs confession, Masamune telling Sagiri he loves her but he wants to be her brother, Sagiri progressing on her own feelings, Masamune securing his book deal, etc, there are things happening within the plot.

As for episode 10 he showed Muramasa the fan letters she wrote to him. Made a speech that was not grand, for sure, and Muramasa vowed to continue perusing him essentially. He definitely never made himself seem awesome, has asked both her and Elf for advice plenty of times. He also showed his admiration for both of their works. Im not sure how it pretended it was a big character development moment, it was just reiterating that the race was still on.

There is plenty of character and plot development going on. If you find that plot to be cringy, that is subjective and that is an opinion. However, not liking the direction the show is taking is grounds for dropping the show and moving on with your life. It does not invalidate your opinion on the show, but there is a serious lack of criticism that has any thought remotely put into it from the community on this show. Saying "There is no plot development" or other easy, blanket statements is just as useful as name calling.

Another reason people are tired of this same old song and dance is that people make low energy posts criticizing this genre all the time. They are always the same criticisms, and they are boring. We get it, fans are split on the state of the industry right now but it is what it is. People attempt to come in and judge content based on this dissatisfaction with the state of anime. You yourself seem jaded, "main character #534, #839... I mean, why not just pick up another hobby if your that displeased? I mean with that attitude it is no wonder the show feels empty to you. If your not satisfied with the content and your still watching then are you surprised people that even remotely actually enjoy it are? Who is forcing you to watch harem romcom anime?

I completely agree with this. The problem with this anime isn’t just the shameless fanservice, we all know other shows that had lolis and incest but still had better reception than this (eg no game no life), that is because they also had something else to offer besides fanservice. This thing has nothing!

The “plot” is completely boring and unfocused, the characters are inconsistent and uninteresting, the comedy is terribly written full of clichés, the main character is a generic harem guy, the “character development” is the girls falling in love with the guy for no reason, even the animation is completely mediocre and generic. This thing fails at everything.

This thread is still about what people don't like about eromanga sensei. Insulting people and calling them a cuck doesn't contribute anything. Making negative assumptions about people, and then using them to dismiss any legitimate criticisms of a show is in poor taste.

On the other hand, I don't really see how this is incest baiting either. The show says straight up front that they are not blood-related, and they don't even know each other. Right then and there, it just becomes another show about cute girls. If Sagiri was changed from being a step sister to a random squatter that refused to leave the house, literally nothing else in the anime changes. If the show was hoping to be a better Oreimo, it completely failed.

So now the show is just one about cute girls, but it's not that good at it either. There's almost no character development, and nothing happens plotwise (even in a genre where the plot is kind of unnecessary). A great example of bad plot and character development is episode 10.

Its second half has Muramasa decide not to write anymore, and no one questions it until hours later. Then main character #534 motivates Muramasa by showing her his fan letters, basically motivating her by saying how awesome he is. In the end, her goal becomes getting main character #839 to love her, which is a goal she already did. Nothing changes whatsoever and Eromanga-sensei pretends it's some big character development moment.

The show feels so empty, I don't care about anyone or what's going on. If you want to watch cute girls, there's a bunch more that have likable characters, and decent humor that doesn't get drawn out.


I completely agree with this. The problem with this anime isn’t just the shameless fanservice, we all know other shows that had lolis and incest but still had better reception than this (eg no game no life), that is because they also had something else to offer besides fanservice. This thing has nothing!

The “plot” is completely boring and unfocused, the characters are inconsistent and uninteresting, the comedy is terribly written full of clichés, the main character is a generic harem guy, the “character development” is the girls falling in love with the guy for no reason, even the animation is completely mediocre and generic. This thing fails at everything.

Dude/Dudette what are you doing here with your logical, short and to the point analysis of the show?
How dare you not write a 25 page detailed review of every nook and cranny of this anime explaining why you think it's bad, only for its fan to completely discredit and dismiss what you've written and start insulting you instead?
This is inconceivable.

Plot
From Ep1-11 in chronological order
- Mc and Sagiri have a 5 year difference, how nice
- Mc uploads some novels and Sagiri finds them "conveniently"
- Both of their parents can remarry for "convenience" and somehow are in the same area and somehow remarry
- Both of those parents die "conveniently"
- The Aunt lets Mc and Sagiri stay in the house without any supervision
- The rest is basically the generic "girl comes in" thing that you get with harems, except those girls are lolis. Pretty much all the girls are lolis except the super minor characters like the editor and his best friend.
Of course there is filler, I mean if I had to sit in front of a screen for 2400 minutes and watch a plot like this, I would suffer alot more than I usually suffer from being alive.

The bad comedy (for me anyways), moeness, and fanservice makes up for the plot, and if the comedy itself doesnt help, just look at the plot again. If you don't like fanservice, like me, then laugh at that too. Moe is something that i dont care for

The opening and ending? Who seriously even watches that, let alone 12 times?

In my opinion, the anime is like something from pop radio; Generic and just bad, but of course its still popular

Although I do enjoy watching this anime, I still think its pretty bad and even a little bit boring.

Also I dont mind incest but I guess thats bad so yeah.. siscon lolicon novel writer living together with his little 12yo vagtoy sister who draws Very Nicee hentai babes, a middle school girlie who tries to act like a slut but isnt, your average cliched tsundere (i hate these types of cliched girls) rich loli who writes (i dont remember why, but who cares? Gotta make it convinient), and an old fashioned loli who writes because she can.

While I don't want to get too heavy on comparisons to this author's previous work, the fact that this show and OreImo are so similar to the point where it feels almost 1 to 1 at points makes it necessary. I am not a huge OreImo fan, but I was fond of it during its first season and I even liked moments in the second season, but like a lot of people I thought the ending was terrible and poorly executed, with writing that just came undone when it was most convenient. The primary difference between this and OreImo is that OreImo was surprisingly well written at points. It had well defined themes about otaku culture and family relationships, and an incredibly strong secondary cast. As much as I was no fan of Kirino, her design was certainly very iconic, and the character designs in general were memorable and pleasant to the eye.

Where Eromanga-sensei falters is not that it is a romantic comedy / harem in the same vein as OreImo and not that it doesn't have the same strength in character designs / visuals, but that it's just boring. It feels so dime-a-dozen. Sagiri is an infinitely more enjoyable character than Kirino, and while I thought I would actually enjoy the show more because of this, I actually liked it less. Kirino being the way she was actually provided a more interesting character and made her chemistry with the other characters more interesting. Sagiri is like this domesticated tsundere in comparison, and even then, she's basically lost the tsundere part where we're sitting right now in the season. The whole setup that leads to Sagiri and Masamune living together alone is just a plot convenience so that their family doesn't have to be a factor in the story at all beyond flashbacks. It's funny, because that was one of the things that made OreImo far more interesting. Remember Kyousuke defending Kirino by going off on his dad in her defense? That was one of the most memorable scenes from the first season.

You could say that a lot of this is the author trying to write a "different" story, but the fundamentals aren't that different. He just made it easier to accomplish what he wanted to, which may have been good if he was writing something just for himself, but for an audience, having no conflict or striking moments just leads to an average show with very little significance. I thought maybe beyond Sagiri and Masamune, who is basically Kyousuke without any of his interesting traits (which were destroyed at some point in the second season anyway), the secondary cast would be able to save this show, but the author has even gone the path of least resistance in that regard. Megumi literally showed up to say "dicks" before she disappeared into insignificant character land. Elf is fun and admittedly one of the brighter parts of this show, but the more it forays into her attempts at romance with Masamune, the cheaper her character becomes. Speaking of cheap, Muramasa is a joke of a character. I understand that these characters don't have to be particularly deep or profound, but having a character seem like a sudden antagonist one episode, and then the next episode having her fall in love with the main character made me feel like I had whiplash. Now she's just become a stuttering mess every episode who obsesses over the main character nonstop. Then of course there's the bookstore girl who basically doesn't exist and the author dude who thinks Masamune is gay and that's the entire punchline to his existence.

OreImo had goals and the show reached them, whether I liked the way they did it or not. Eromanga puts a high priority on the light novel writing aspect of the show but it feels so easily achieved and boring. Otherwise, the show doesn't go anywhere. Perhaps we're just waiting for him to propose to Sagiri at this point, because it's obvious she's going to win. The writer is pretending the secondary cast even has a chance. In OreImo it was believable because Kyousuke actually dated Ruri, but in this, nobody is even questioning the way it's going to go. Despite that, I want things to actually happen, and if not, then make this a slice of life worth watching. The comedy is cheap, the writing is convenient, the characters are forgettable, and it's just completely average all around. The only things worth mentioning are the OP/ED which are surprisingly good, and A-1 Pictures devoting the time to making this show look as good as OreImo did. Other than that, this is just another show I'm going to watch, give an average score, and forget about by the time I'm stuck in the next season watching more shows.

I don't even really hate this show at all. In fact, I think I'd prefer if I felt that strongly about it. I think OreImo's ending was terrible and I hated almost every moment of it, but at least I'll always remember it because of that. If this show had half the balls to do anything interesting, I'd commend it for that and that alone. At the end of the day, it's just an average show with nothing special to offer other than easily achieved popularity. If it's your thing, cool, but I don't think it's very hard to see why people don't like this show. I'm not just talking about the "incest is bad" criticisms, which I sympathize with, but at this point, criticizing this author for writing incest is just a waste of time. This show is just one big "whatever" in glossy packaging.

I don't mind having this kind of show once in a while, though people detest it.

Just a different kind of flavor to my portfolio of anime collection :)
