I think they are the most disgusting thing that can destroy any decent character design. The girl in this show looks ok enough but why did they need to ruin it with that a gross flesh tooth on her face? It is not a tooth it is the skin on her lip. I get that it is meant to make her look mischievous, but it looks like some kind of deformity or a tumor. Does anyone find this cute or would people prefer actual teeth rather than skin teeth?

It depends. Here I don't really mind it, but overall I prefer when they use actual fangs/teeth, since it looks cute.

I don't know who the fuck this show is aimed at but the character designs are definitely not to my taste. Very odd. Something off putting about them and maybe you've pinned down one of the issues here.

The REAL question here is why the hell is the alternative English title "Magical Sempai" with an M? What degenerate retard spells senpai with an M? Crunchyroll has it that way for the title and it's annoying as hell.

I honestly like them, as long as they aren't on every single character.

I'd probably prefer the yaeba be an actual white tooth, but I don't mind flesh teeth.

Someone thought Chiya of Urara Meirochou had a flesh tooth, but I CSI'd it and it was actually white.



This show's is a flesh tooth though.

Shout out to all the real folks out there whose teeth are actually darker than their skin. (I do photography at a retirement community; I made a Lightroom brush preset for that.)

Both are correct:

I think the "both are correct" argument is more convincing, though the result may be irritating from an aesthetic and/or "them's the rules" POV.

Perhaps it would be beneficial to take a break from open forums, if it's bothersome to receive an earnest reply to a question like "What degenerate retard spells senpai with an M?"

Sempai with an M makes it feel like an early 00s, yellow font, hardsubbed, [Keikaku means plan.], era thing.

How about this: "Crunchyroll made a cynical marketing decision, aiming to appeal to cringey weebs who think it's cute to misspell it 'sempai.'" That a good answer? :D

When I briefly studied Russian I learned to spell sushi "суси" (susi), but now I read that the national standard has changed to "суши" (sushi). I wonder whether that resulted in angry Russians. Yeah, it probably did. :)

I am not against the flesh fang but I also prefer when they do a proper white one lol. Also yeah, writing senpai with an M was really a characteristics of those fan subs back in the day. I never saw it written like that in Japanese even though technically they could get away with a "mu" instead of an "n". The offical title writes it in kanji only. It's more of a spoken thing. Crunchy really took some liberties there.

I've always known "flesh teeth" to be called lip fangs.

I don't mind them at all, in fact they can look pretty cute in my opinion, but real fangs are way more appealing. Not too sure why they do fangs on the lip anyway.

Agreed, but calling them lip fangs sounds way more appealing than the more literal label, a tooth made of flesh...

It bothers me. Yaeba is such a cute character trait and it's ruined if it's the same colour as their skin and doesn't have a line to differentiate it from the rest of their face.

Cut it off. This is not normal. If you find facial tumors attractive please your evaluate your life choices.

It's just to look cute, she doesn't really have it, at the end of the ending you can clearly see that it's not always on the same side, that sometime it's really a teeth and rarely it's not here at all.

I guess it's just laziness to draw an actual white tooth. Y'know, it's typical for ecchi genre to have low quality at any aspects.
As for me, I do like actual white tooth thing, but this flesh tooth is at least weird. First time I met this thing was in Yuru Camp and I felt disgusted as it looked more like some spittle or snot, but later I got used to it a bit

They're horrible. It looks like they have a growth or tumor on their lip, and I just want to grab it and snip it off with scissors. I feel like it originally spawned from lazy drawing, then became a fetish, and I hate it. Actual fang, however, is cute as hell and I love it.

I pretty much agree with your point of view. Every time it depends on a character in general. If he/she has interesting personality then the negative effect can be neutralized a bit. In example I don't care about Tejina-senpai's flesh tooth because of how cool and funny character she is. Yet I think it'd be better to draw her gang differently (if it's really a fang, lol), although I got used to her flesh tooth.

In general though I find flesh tooth as disgusting. It reminds me of a serious tumor changing from the lip. There are a lot of better methods to show a bucktooth or yaeba, like actually showing a fang coming out of mouth, a real tooth, not a tumor.
