What she did wrong until now? For me she's naive but pretty cute and a nice person overall. Haven't read the manga.

Because

"You're Izumi Shinichi, right?"

Although, I don't find her annoying even in the manga.

What's wrong about this question since Izumi is indeed changing a lot?

Maybe the constant repetition of that question? I didn't mind it the first two times, but after the third time it has gotten really annoying. It may have its purpose and might make more sense after all episodes aired, but atm I feel like they treat the viewer like an idiot who doesn't have the mental capacity to notice the changes in Shinichi.

I don't hate her, i just think her constant repetition of that question to be annoying. I know it has its meaning but it still is annoying.

The constant repetition? She said that 5 times (perhaps less) in 12 episodes. Even though, if this constant repetition was the case, then people should blame the anime for trying to repeat this message. And even if this was indeed the case, only one phrase is enough to hate a character? ._.

I think the reason is not this one. I didn't mind this phrase at all, since it wasn't that constant to begin with.

Sure it is one of the messages the anime is trying to convey, but they're doing it through Murano, and way too often for my likings.

People have to hate something in a series or find something annoying. It's just the way world works.

And imo, she has done nothing wrong nor stupid. Maybe people don't see how much Shinichi changed from a nerd geek to cold, almost emotionless person. It's normal for her to question him since she obviously cares about him. People are insta-annoyed when someone doesn't act the way they'd want to.

I like Kana more than Murano tbh, but Murano is also quite good too for her characteristic.

Why people hate Murano?


Because people find her annoying. But it's pretty normal to react that way since Murano who usually like Izumi, dislike his current personality that has been changed. And I don't really find it annoying at all.

We have to consider that Murano also has the capacity of sensing these beings, even though she isn't as strong as Kana. Is like the mom of Ryouko but not so strong. I think is a pretty natural reaction even if she wasn't sensitive. Izumi is completely different now. Personally, I didn't have any preference for Murano X Kana, because I wasn't shipping for anyone, but Kana had a problem as well (she was stupid and lived in a fantasy world thinking everything was fate and she was destined to Izumi).

I dislike her because she got really annoying, no matter the reasons I don't need to hear the same question 20 times or have 2 episodes focusing on that question alone.
But I dislike Kana even more, all she was going to do was get in the way and cause romance drama in a show that doesn't need romance drama, even if that wasn't her goal her character did nothing but waste a whole episode, good thing she was dealt with I guess.

I like how gentle Murano is. I prefer her over Kana but I can understand why one would dislike her, even though she's cute she also has an annoying side, and can sound pretty stupid sometimes. Actually she has nothing special, she's just here to be here but well, a very generic character but well, I'm fine with this.

She's more naive, not stupid. Stupid would fit more to Kana. Well, but I don't get why people are giving the other girl as reason to hate Murano, this question is not about Kana, is about Murano kek.

You guys are too outrageous lol. She doesn't have a very strong personality, that's right, and as a character she's pretty mediocre, but ''they suck'', ''I hate her'', ''fuck''... LOL. Really? I'm just neutral about it, since she is more neutral towards the plot itself.

Only Shinichi, Migi, and Ryoko are good characters. Everyone else is forgettable, I don't see why you are specifically saying that the female characters suck specifically. The focus of the show is shinichi and his transformation, it is not a show with a wide and expansive cast of unique individuals.

To me, she's pretty bland. I just don't like how she still loves Izumi even though he is an ass to her times. Although it's probably true love? I just don't really like Izumi and Murano's relationship. I can't really explain why though. Murano is alright though.

I like her, she's cute and an average girl, just like how Shinichi started out like an average boy. I like the fact that she's a measuring stick to see how far Shinichi has drifted from his humanity. She'll likely be the main factor later on keeping the shreds of Shinichi's humanity alive, and personally I like those kinds of characters. The phrase can be annoying I suppose, but isn't that the point, it sure pisses Shinichi off at times. It just goes to show she really did love him and knew something changed deep down. I never found her annoying though tbh, I think without her the show would be missing a unique element, I mean how many psychological supernatural shows have the main character in a real kind of relationship and show those supernatural factors directly becoming intertwined in that relationship?

Oh wow people hate her over something so trivial. I didn't even know people found her annoying until just now. She's rather bland but not really annoying. It's understandable why she's asking that, even if it is more than necessary. I feel it kinda reflects how some girls are in real life anyway.

seriously if Kana is smoking in this anime adaptation too... I'd go for Murano even if she's a whinny bitch...

The woman characters clearly the weakest point from this series, though. But that to say, i think it's just not enough for me to hate her. Even though it was annoying to hear her lame catch phrase, but aside that, what she did actually quite realistic reaction to respond a radical change from someone you love (Of course it could be better if she didn't keep repeating the same line).

Yeah, we can easily see her as an annoying girl, but it was because we has god's perspective, we understand what happened to Shinichi and the change he through. Of course, as we can see, Shinichi also let an outburst to her for being annoying because she just don't know anything.

But the saddest/good part is she doesn't even has anything to do with the main story. Therefore, even when i am trying to hate her, it was just not worth it.

It is. People are more annoyed with how many times she's asked "Are you really Izumi Shinichi?" rather than her character. I think she's cute but dumb af. How do you not notice that change in Izumi and still keep asking that question?

Each of the characters reacted to each situation very humanely, except for the highschool attack scene where Shinichi jumps off a building. For Yuuko, it was curiosity and disbelief that compelled her to confirm Hideo identity despite the peril. Infact, she disregarded the danger because the concept seemed absurd. For Kana, her obsession with Shinichi is justified through curiosity, love and her idiosyncrasy. It's natural to become attached to a person with such strong connections. For Murano, she has strong affections and cares for Shinichi. She notices the change in Shinichi but is uninformed of the truth, so she can only question. She also doesn't want to believe that Shinichi has changed. There is doubt amiss hence the question 'Are you really Shinichi?'.

Murano is fine, though I wish she had more involvement, which I suspect will occur soon. Those that are hating are just bias.

Don't understand why Murano is getting all this heat.

I rly like her and she is definitely a more believable charcater than Kana. Not that I dislike her but given the option Murano / Kana , *pick 1* all the way.

Murano liked Shinichi b4 he started jumping 10ft in the air or going all Batman-mode on the thugs. It was a genuine bf/gf love. And she sticked to him even after his psychological changes ( acting cold, emotionless or dumping puppies in the trash ) , and that isn't easy.
Kana on the other hand is just curious about Shinichi which borthers obsesion rather than love or affection.

this... + Kana smokes... I don't like girls like that... plus she just brushed away the former bf because of her attraction to the MC guy... I don't like girls who sways this way... if she's not attracted to you anymore.. she'll do the same to you like what she did to the ex..

yep! :/

to be honest, i actually like Murano! :) (i haven't read the manga, yet and haven't watched all the episodes.)
she's a pure average, simple schoolgirl and still cute. for me, her repetitive question is
a) showing her emotional attachment, closeness to Shinichi in a pure way. she feels something but that's not a parasite-seeker special wonder ability. ;)
b) her role and words are indicators. the question is a reminder for us to think about Shinichi. is he intact or not? still intact? how his attitude/thoughts about life is affected by Migi's presence? etc.
