Besides de MCs I just hate the entire cast. Their loud ass shallow remarks just make this anime borderline unwatchable. Is it gonna get any better, or is the supporting cast just there for annoying gags?

They all just embrace their troupes pretty much, plus too much of a hassle trying to create 100 compelling supporting characters for Komi-san to befriend. I hate the supporting cast too but they are an important element to the whole goal that Komi's going for, and they're a parody of their troupes like Najimi for example being the 'childhood friend' and the yandere for Yamai last week basically.

Tbf this is probably how most high schoolers act. Iknow you said besides the mcs but I love Komi I find her compelling enough to watch the show solely for her

And what do you expect this anime for? Like ore monogatari or other romance anime. Well yeah no, the cast are very unique bc you will never forget about them and you can say they are very important to komi's part of 100 friends. And in terms of 100 friends you can't say "Oh you're my friend now and go bye bye just focus to make more" without interacting them back bc we will forget the friends of Komi she make and this anime basically show the side of being a high schooler that we been experienced by it.

So I don’t know if you know this, but all the character’s names are just their trope. It’s set up from the beginning for all of them to just be tropes that only follow their tropes.

The secondary characters in the first season (the first year in the manga) are pretty much like this, when I started reading I loved to hate them. But in what will probably be the 2nd season (second year), the cast changes a bit and the characters are more likeable...

It’s a comedy, the show is made like that. The side characters are supposed to resemble a certain personality trait as a pun on their name. For instance, Najime in Japanese means “childhood friend” it’s a play on words. They embody a certain trait. I don’t think the show is trying to go for a deep drama. And it’s fine because comedies are supposed to do that. It’s just supposed to be a feel good comedy. Also that doesn’t mean that the characters are poorly written.

Well.. somebody has really unrealistic expectations about character development on animated media.
Well, you want to see some character development then go read the manga, it has over 300 chapters and gives plenty of room to every character to shine and grow at least a little. Also, the best characters of komi-san won't show up in this season probably.

I don't even know why I got so mad.. lol

yeah for me the 2nd year class is better than the 1st year, but they are still great friends for komi
maybe i like 2nd year more because they supports komi and tadano to be a couple
also manbagi is there too haha

"Shallow" wasn't the first word that came to mind. "Annoying" is more like it, when describing the side characters we got so far. If it had focused completely on just komi-san and tadano, I would have been enjoying this way more. But I guess that's impossible to do when the main goal is for her to get 100 friends. There's bound to be a lot of characters, and a lot of them are probably going to be annoying... or shallow....

Yes, actually, it's my favourite anime. Komi-san definitely doesn't seem to come close but judging from the first 2 eps it's kinda fun (to me). Reminds me of Kaguya sama, though I think that one is better too.

I mean if their name meanings in Japanese are basically their character's personalities and it's a school drama, slice of life anime....I don't know what else to say. Its not really that deep and whether you find it funny or not is all subjective.

If its that much of a bother for you, don't have to continue this. I for one like the idea of knowing what their character is going to be like based off their names. Also makes my Japanese studying more interesting personally.

Yeah dude. I kinda went into this anime expecting heavy characterisation like in A Silent Voice with a more upbeat tone and stuff. Might wait it out and stick around, cause only the side characters annoy me.

It's funny how people are dropping this series though I don't care about their opinion so I wouldn't take it seriously and tbf, it gets repetitive and I would love it to just focus on Komi-san and Tadano in particular, but I still enjoy the side characters especially Najimi which is why I give it a solid 8.5/10 since for me really it's just a typical romcom and somewhat the characters have those semi-realistic personality which I find some of them to be relatable, they're also fun and as chapters goes on, they create good and funny memories with each other that'll never be forgotten and it just remains subjective from my own perspective which is how basically the story goes, just blending with a school drama and slice to life :> Lastly, not trying to be mean or anything but if you can't handle with any shallow characters, you don't need to continue watching this series and just drop it as you please because yk there's such thing as "better off watching something else" that'll exceed your personal enjoyment simple as that :).

Gintama was best when was mostly comedy with occasional "serious" arc. That's why only first two seasons deserve 9/10.

Yeah I agree. I did like Najimi somewhat but every other character is there just to waste time of the show so far. But the thing is, anime fans are into lazy work and love to praise one dimensional character traits, so unfortunately you'll see a lot of people defending this bad aspect of the show.

"Why are all the characters so shallow?"

Maybe because Komi-san is on a quest to find 100 real friends and she has to go through the riff-raff in order to find them.
"Manga readers are annoying, all they do is complain or spoil the anime we discuss in an anime forum.
They should really do their whining at manga forums.

The hell do you mean? I'm not allowed to state something is objectively better than something else? You make it seem like film and animation are jokes. People like me pay money to go to film school to eventually produce QUALITY work. Without ranking, art would not exist. Hell, even this website wouldn't exist. It's a place where people discuss and CRITICIZE anime. The fact that something is worthy of objective criticism gives the medium value.

Making 100 friends doesn't have to be shown in every detail (not every one of them have to be a reoccuring character or be even shown. In this case most are).
Imagine if battle royale with 100 survivors would give personality or backstory or some amount of plot to every 100 of them. It shouldn't be done in the first place. And nobody complains if they don't do it. Because nobody would care. It doesn't add anything to the main plot or main character's development. It's just filler for the most part.
