The point it's not to annoy only main Hero, but to annoy the viewer.
To create strong Emotion. Carla was never intended to be directly funny. It's the fact that she is so annoying makes it funny, not her annoyance itself. She is basically a troll, but she is so good that you never know if she is trolling or not.

So..the point of the anime is to get people to dislike it??? Makes no damn sense, it’s supposed to be a comedy

I actually enjoy how Carla is annoying. I'll hardly drop this one. It's silly, but it's still funny anyway.

It reminds me of when Kagura and Gintoki shit on Shinpachi and when shinpachi himself is the straight man to their bad behavior in Gintama. The humor is similar, which may be why I like it.

Carla is not even annoying. She is simply honest to the fault.

Same! I honestly love how annoying Carla is! I'm always thinking to myself: "Damn! Carla is so stupid! Fuck you, girl!" But I like her, specially when she tries to wink. 😂

This show is clearly meant to be a duo comedy with Alvin playing the role of straight-man. I get that it’s not everyone’s cup of tea but Carla is meant to be insufferable. You’re supposed to laugh at all the ridiculous things she says and at how mad Alvin gets when he inevitably becomes the butt of all the jokes.

I get it, and I like it but, the pacing is just...off. In a less stacked season I would keep watching this anime but it din't make the cut for this one.

I just think the same type of jokes is boring. I read the manga when episode one aired and it was the same joke over and over. "I am a healer respect me. Here a is a healing spell that isn't really a healing spell over and over" . I mean it was funny for a while but It got old quickly. I guess the other joke in the adventurer dude is weak as shit too.

The real point of this show is to be a waste of time I think you mean. After 2 episodes of the same joke this third episode I literally just sat there straight faced the entire time bored.

I believe the main issue is as Emolamo says and the poor pacing/comedic timing is ruining this, and not so much the content. Every one in a while Carla will make a timely retort and it ends up much funnier when it’s not stretched out. The producers (or author) really should have studied Maoujou de Oyasumi closely for a blueprint of how to add variety and staying power to an entire 24 minute show based entirely on one joke.

I am realizing that I am most likely missing a lot of Japanese word play here with the "no I don't mean this, I mean that" or even some popular or historical culture references too? ... help me out ... maybe not that deep but it is my rationalization. It's as if it could be funny enough if I understood enough of the nuances within the jokes... I miss hardly-bear already, kind of.

You are lead to believe this is your standard fantasy setting and Alvin is the straight guy in this comedy duo. And people hate it, because they view it this way.

If you see it that everybody is chill, Alvin is the idiot clown for thinking monsters are evil and standard fantasy rules apply and Carla is actually the straight man in the duo you will get much closer to understanding this anime, at least I think that based on we have seen so far.

Trust me, not everyone who rated this show low are that stupid that they failed to see the point of this anime.

For the most part, I think the real reason people rated it so low and dropped it because they just don't find it worthwhile wasting their time on something they don't enjoyed. I doubt anyone who would click on this anime to watch was expecting "masterpiece"

Is this anime bad? I don't think so. But is it for everyone? Well the score said it all.

The point of comedy is to be funny. This show fails.

I don't think that's exactly the case.

The idea behind Carla being mean is that she's not very good at making friends, since she's too honest and prideful, thus bad at expressing herself, showing vulnerability and creating bonds (see how she blushes and gets emotional for making friends at episode 8, for instance).

She is always forcing herself onto Alvin (as far as cursing him to not be able to get away, which might still be a lie) because she probably doesn't know to approach someone and be friends with them normally. In other words, she is a tsundere.

Other points brought up above about the jokes often relying on Japanese wordplay and cultural habits of intonation and politeness, as well as them being an unusual duo comedy pair (boke to tsukkomi, funny man and straight man) are also correct.

She just seems horrible at communicating, and this is aimed at Alvin and played for jokes.

Well it's kinda confirmed right now that Carla is just Hardcore Tsundere. The only Difference is she uses her words to inflict Violence

I think many peoples was thrown off by the jokes on this anime. Not because the jokes is bad, they just dont get it. This kind of jokes was usually hit-or-miss depends on yourself. Plus, it also used unusual pacing that will fuck you off if you didnt watch lots of comedy-centric anime.

Also many people thinks the jokes was repetitive which is NOT. The repetitive thing is only the setting.

I think it's hysterical. Only child touchers and Hitler sympathizers would dislike such a funny show.

I've found this anime is amazing. Thw whole point isn't to be annoying because that's the wrong word. It's pure sarcasm at its core with unexpected situations mixed in to throw you off. To be fair though, I am extremely sarcastic myself.
