Hey you got to give him credit. The guy at least has guts. I mean he gets himself beaten to a pulp trying to help his childhood friend and nearly get beaten up again by bald guard guy because that blond **** was making fun of the pudding girl. Sure he is pretty much clueless that he already has a harem (He still hasn't noticed that Chiwa said that he was hers) but at least he has serious guts to get something done to the best of his ability. While most harem MC will stick up for a girl (Which is the cause of half of them falling for him normally) he just seems to have more passion than most when he does it. It is just hard to hate him when he goes all out to protect a girl.

Over all he is still a stupid MC but I still have to give him a little credit.

Now for Masuzu.... okay she earned a few more points in my book. She is still an annoying Manipulative girl but the rest of her family is apparently even worse. Plus she actually make Blond **** apologize so I'll say she isn't all bad. I still don't like her and her family being worse than her doesn't make her a good person but I am hating her a little less. However every time she reads out of that notebook I was to grab it, rip out it's pages, and cram them down her throat. Just the fact that the threat was about that notebook and yet she reads out of it regularly just angers me.

It's not the MC that makes me hate the anime. If anything I actually like the MC. It's the whole 8th grade syndrome thing going on and how he's "Anti-love" yet agrees to the girl friend thing and gets his own little harem. Also the notebook reading. That pisses me off.

The 8th grader syndrome thing isn't too bad. She doesn't seem to have it as bad as the eye patch girl did. She seems to already show that she knows it isn't real but her life is so dull and lonely she is using it to give her life a little purpose. But I can see what you mean. Also I completely agree with you on the other points. The "Anti-love" theme would have been a hundred times stronger with the normal relationship format. Maybe a love triangle with the childhood friend but there was no need to throw the other two in (seriously it kinda feels like the other two are just getting thrown in). If the idea is that the main characters lives were wrecked by "Love" and they turned their backs on it then why not just focus on that and their development? Instead the guy just accept everything far to easily and gets a harem thrown in his lap while the girl seems to have already forgotten she hates love and is hanging all over him. The Anti-love angle was an interesting idea but it was completely wasted. Over all Id on't think I'd call this anime "bad" but it has nothing really going for it anymore. Now it has completely become a redressed version of the basic harem anime.

The thing that pisses me off most about the notebook is that guy has yet to mention the fact that the deal of the blackmail was "He goes out with her and she keeps that book hidden" and she has regularly broken that promise (Literally every episode).

Point is, the chuunibyou isnt needed.
And yeah Masuzu went back on her word that she wouldnt tell anyone about the notebook... kinda

She never actually says its Eita's just 'her former love's'.
I get Eita is embarrassed to shit over it but he's making too much of a big deal over it.
At least Yuuta (Chu2) didnt make that big of a deal over this. And personally I think they're trying to hard to turn this into another Chu2 but it isnt as good.

So we have now two tsunderes Masuzu and A-chan right?

P.S. Eita is really baka.

Ovyda wrote:Yeah, all characters are here. Anyone want to make a guess who he's going to pick(or nobody lol)?

Ovyda wrote:I guess it will be nobody... Like he won't be able to pick one.

I wish he would choose Masuzu.
I wish he wouldn't choose Chiwa.
I don't give a shit about chu2 fake girl.
I wouldn't mind if he chose A-chan.

Metazoxan wrote:Wait so the annoying hall monitor girl is actually a Tsundere Childhood Friend? Now that is interesting. Most of the "strict Discipline" type characters are Tsundere but a lot more aggressively so and they don't even realise they like the main guy themselves. But it looks like she shut down the club to get closer to Eita which is completely different from what I expected. So bravo anime you actually managed to take what looked like a generic introduction of harem girl #3 and surprise me with it. Now if only she wasn't the "Childhood friend that moved away" cliche she might be something unique. Still I kinda like her.

She's my favorite of the group.

Shame she doesn't stand a chance. This would be one of the crowned jewels of harem anime if she did win IMO (partly since it would be so unexpected) but childhood friends stand no chance especially when they "Moved away for a while".

That's only if she's a childhood friend of the MC, in this case she's a childhood friend of the MC's friend. Also, I think that having the childhood friend "Move away for a while" actually increases their chance. In most romance anime I've seen that had a childhood friend that moves back the MC is more attracted to her.

She seems to be his childhood friend to or at the very least they met in the past. I guess you are right that they have a better chance since they are less likely to get treated "Like a sister" since they have been a part for so long but they still normally get friend zoned. If this anime did give her a chance I would be happy but I just doubt it. This anime has had a few surprises in it but nothing big that pulled away from the normal flow that these series follow.

Yeah, I guess you're right. Though, to be honest, I think that the MC and Masuzu will be the ones who get together, if he picks one at all that is.

LunarLexal wrote:The term you're trying to think of is "genre".

But yeah, I agree with you. Harems could be great, if the MC actually looked at all the girls as possible love interests. But I'm not saying that he should date all of them behinds their backs, but have him consider dating a different girl instead of singling a girl out, like you said.
