SaeKano Final Volume sales are pretty good :o that's really nice. =w= Kato <3

Well, its something at least (even though she's not bad as a tsundere archetype, she's alright... though most characters in SaeKano imo when it comes to the anime are good enough).

Yeah I agree--

Wait a second.

blink Did I just read that correctly? o.o So you don't hate this Tsundere or at least despise her? (at least as from what I'm seeing you don't really mind her by comparison).

This is surprising for me honestly, sorry if this comes off as weird.

yep ^^'
i have nothing against her (maybe because i have something for the childhood friends)

generally i don't hate tsunderes outside the romance genre or at least if they stay away from my ships

So I think Eriri can apply to both right? (since iirc she was a childhood friend of the MC).

That's... really something o.o its still surprising for me ^^ but that's neat. Huhu.

Utaha was best girl in Saekano, you could see Katou would win a mile off though.

Kato from saekano is one of the best characters ever...too bad she doesn't get the international spotlight she deserves. Rem is only so beloved internationally because re:zero is extremely popular. Would be the same with Kato if saekano would be more popular. Kato is everywhere in akihabara when I went there in july...so atleast in japan shes crazy popular haha

She will never be as popular as Rem internationally, since unlike Rem, Kato can not boast that her popularity does not depend on the nationality of the fans. Moreover, Tappei is much more subtle in playing with fans in this matter, which makes her pairing with MC much more interesting.

Of course she is not as popular internationally because people don't know she exists because they haven't watched the show lol...I just mean that if Saekano had the same viewers and numbers internationally like rezero, Kato would be as popular. Saekano has 230k members and rezero 580k just on MAL

Lol. Well, with such logic and Hand Shakers would be a hit if more people watched them. Did someone disturb people watching Saekano? Personally, no one bothered me.

No of course not because hand shakers was bad and has a bad score. Kato already has alot of fans on MAL so of course they would increase if more people watched it. Whatever...the point is she deserves more love from the community in my opinion. She's a unique character. What do you mean no one bothered you?

This unique character is called "boring heroine." However, the problem is not even in it, but in that Saekano is another work where the plot is developed by the best girls, but wins only the author's waifu, just because. So who prevented me from watching this anime, even though I knew about it?

You don't even know her or why she is called 'boring'. You don't have to watch it but don't say it sucks or she is not a great character if you haven't even watched the first 4 episodes. There is a reason she was #4 in a waifu poll and people like her so much

"You do not understand anything, but she's a good character, because she's popular!" - lol, no comments. By the way, Rem still went around her on two places, lol.
