What is this insane fucking rant towards an obviously unrealistic romcom with a silly premise, go back to Twitter.
If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that.

lmfao, sanity is highly overrated. When did they hire you to to respond to everyone who doesn't like this show. Also, what's the point of a fucking discussion post if not to actually DISCUSS.

Long justified rant


Sorry to rewrite your quote there buddy, but its well thought out. Wont debate that.

When i saw thst NBCUniversal is involved, I was like, yup, its the message written into the story unfortunately.

Its more wholesome in the Manga, and the manga Izumi is such a better well-rounded character. Every forum i lurk in, everyone likes Izumi, and are perplexed about how he is depicted in the anime.

Thats why alot of us move over to Japanese Anime, or Donghua etc etc, for more wholesome content. But for how long? The past 2-3 years Hollywood has been making noises about Anime not incorporating SJW messaging, not using it as a platform for their corrupting activism.

You're all good. Don't apologize.

I'm slowly getting back into watching anime so I actually didn't know a whole ton about NBC Universal being that way. Thanks for mentioning that!

Then maybe I'll give the manga a go. If it's different than the anime. I'd actually enjoy it more, 100%. Thanks for letting me know about that too.

Yes, yes, yes, omg, yes. You put it into words so well. Yes, exactly, but for how long? I agree.

Hmm thought I would like this episode at the start, but overall it was just very boring.
A light comment about Shikimori being competitive and hating to lose turned into a several-minutes long sports flashback. And the rest of the episode-------- was just so slow.

Positive: I always think Yuu and Shikimori's reactions to one another are very cute.

Hachimitsu might be my spirit animal.

There is a surprising amount of yuri bait in this. Not that I'm complaining.

If nothing else, if they choose to go to the river over the beach it could be a fun change of pace from most other "swimsuit" episodes of anime.

Another wholesome episode. It baffles me how much hate this simple SoL romcom is getting. The same people probably praise MDD in comparison. But let's be honest here... that only because MDD made their dicks hard.


It's 100% because of how worthless Izumi is lol. It just makes you feel bad for Shikimori.

I was going to drop this last episode per the 3 episode rule, but something made me come back for another one, and yup, don't know why I did that. I've said it before, but it would make more sense if they retooled it to be a Yaoi anime with Izumi dating Inuzuka lol, or turned it into a Yuri anime by going the last 5% and fully making Izumi a girl.

So Izuni is worthless is he's straight but wouldn't be if he was gay or a girl in your hypocritical logic? You're disgusting.

He's just not a realistic character lol "extremely girly straight guy" doesn't really work. It'd feel more natural and the show would flow better flow if he was gay. Literally no one wants or needs a weak effeminate straight guy.

Speak for yourself. If lesbians can be feminine, then so can straight men. This is what I mean about Japan being more forward-thinking sometimes than the West.

This was a slower episode..
The first episode had them beginning the school year after summer break and now 3 episodes later it's about to be summer again..? Odd pacing choice
The phone call was cute though!

We now know how competitive Shikimori can be concerning Izumi's attention. And boy, is she competitive. The last 3 minutes after the episode ending is frickin' awesome with the cooking class.

I'd risk the occasional knife to the face for Motoko's sake, especially if she had the fox ears on.

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P

I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;)

he suffers the sun and needs an umbrella to cover from it... is Izumi a member of the Yato clan?

Kyou, you're right... but please, don't ever become a yandere.

great, a basketball match and it's serious business. Too bad it was cut down short and the result wasn't shown

the exams pressure... i'm glad it is ancient history to me, having graduated from high school in 2005. Pretty final phone call scene.

Izumi doesn't seem to do much flirting with Shikimori, but that's alright; his mother seems to have that part covered.

Bro I fucking LOVE Hachimitsu she’s literally my favourite character in this show I love how her eyes look expressionless yet she’s always smiling shit kills me man😭🧡

I deadass thought we were gonna get the cliche beach episode by the fourth episode but I’m happy we didn’t bc that’s just way to early for a Romcom to do💀💀

Motoko with the fox ears is deadly she’s not a force to be reckoned with and I’m pretty sure she’s the main source as to why Izumi is so unlucky she’s be tripping on nothing and doesn’t realize she’s unlucky whatsoever and Shikimori deadass just grabbed the knife like she’s some sort of assassin😭🤣
