Don't Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro
| I have read some of the manga and have watched the first episode, while I do personally enjoy this series, I don't think anything you have said will change people's minds. If they don't like it, it's their lost and totally valid at the end of the day. You can't force someone to like something, especially a show like this. I guess you can encourage them to watch another episode and to give it another chance, but really that's it. No hate to you though. |

They make Nagatoro look like a psychopath, and they make senpai pretty unlikable off the bat. The tonal consistency of these scenes are awkward, and even though they should read more as comedy than anything else, they feel genuinely uncomfortable and cruel, because we're watching interactions between strangers play out. Plus, not to give away any spoilers, but this whole "please step on me" sadist image of Nagatoro is not at all accurate, and it won't take long at all for the evidence of that to show.This early part of the show is to add a good backdrop for both characters development over the course of the story. |

| Thank you very much OP, I had forgotten senpai's name and you told me lol |

Xyothin said: it's not an Uzaki chan dynamic or anything, but he does get quite a bit better, and there's no stockholm syndrome because the first episode is kind of bullshit, the author wanted to grab your attention with Nagatoro at her absolute worst, but her sadism is heavily exaggerated, and unrealistic. I guess it's supposed to play into the whole "please step on me" type of thing, but it's seriously contrived, and misleading. Will it turn into friendly banter between friends where both try to tease each other or is it just stockholme syndrome the animation? |

pieckscake said: I fully understood she was flirting or at least found something interesting about him, he kind of just begs to be teased, after all. That doesn't change the fact that the whole situation is exaggerated and dialed up to 11, I refuse to believe she's socially awkward to the point where she went full psychopath on him. I just assumed she dialed back her sadism, because that's the realistic viewpoint, but if you've read the whole manga it is extremely unbelievable that she's really as sadistic as portrayed in the first chapter, and she has just been keeping herself in check, especially considering how differently she acts when caught off guard. The author having to add those images into side panels just goes to show how exaggerated and over the top it is, they make no sense.

That's fair and I agreed prior but something I read once changed my mind majorly Sorry if this doesn't help explain my opinion. |

pieckscake said: Well, that's certainly not the response I expected. I have started viewing the events of the first episode more like a dark comedy, their introduction is practically surreal, maybe this is even from senpais perspective, and she comes off more like a caricature of evil because he's a walking bundle of nerves, and her teasing feels like bullying to him, although I just came up with this idea on the spot. At any rate, I don't really take any of these events literally, because even though she will still be aggressive with her teasing in the next episode, I rarely found her to be acting in malice, like her first encounter. Unfortunately, these first 3 chapters make a really poor introductory episode, that only serves to complicate the characters and their interactions moving forward.

Thanks for that you changed my perspective on this. |

| I won’t lie i assumed it is just like uzaki Chan wants to hang out. Though I have watched the first episode and found it alright but someone tell me if I’m wrong or not LOL and ps uzaki Chan was meh for me |

| Honestly; the author themselves has extras for what was seen in the Animes first episode.. So I think maybe just give it a tiny bit of time. Either that or you would have likely dropped everything from uzaki to takagi-san |
