Poor excuse for humor?

Last season we were bombarded with tears from many characters, the emotional manipulation was pretty damn jarring for a lot of us, now it seems we're getting the complete opposite? Is this solely the case of original content?

Now they're trying (and mostly failing) to get us to laugh all the damn time. First scene of the episode and it's an overdone, overreaction trope to an age spot? In the famous words of John McEnroe, you cannot be serious.

Next we had Despa dressed up in a fancy hat and umbrella indoors, the exaggerated music that went with it, a sly Grandma getting Kage to do what she wants, Bojji failing to do multiple jobs, etc, the list goes on...

It's quite the tonal shift from the Season one, but unfortunately, not in a good way.

This isn't original content, it was based on a manga extra.

Wow, that's even worse then. I wonder why I thought it was original content, seem to recall a lot of talk about it.

The first part was original and the second is from an extra chapter. It seems like you are complaining about the comedy and I agree, it’s not amusing but I think the moral of the story is what matters the most.

In both cases, it's way too forceful. It's like they're telling us to "cry now!" and "laugh now!", when all I want to do is gauge my eyes out. Think I'm dropping this finally, I have no hope at all for this show. Maybe if they add some much needed titties and ass, I'll keep watching.

Moral value is only my concern. Many shows lack of it anyway.

Amusing or not, it depends on how do people watch it.

Isn't the whole purpose of storytelling to convey messages and illicit emotions? Strange criticism. if you don't care for the writing, why return for another season?

sorry to hear that oppai_loli_god. if fanservice is all you care about, go watch one of the million dime a dozen Isekais that flood the anime market?

More like you are reading too much into things. An extra is just a bonus chapter at the end of a volume, they are not suppose to be taken that seriously, usually they are pretty random...

Extremes? Where? These are only supposed to be cute and wholesome side stories, there's nothing extreme about it

Why are you still here? And what do you mean with "A lot of us"?  Get over yourself, you hardly speak for 5% of the audience which are mostly sad haters who can't figure out why watching a show that repulses them is a waste of their time.
