Personally I like the characters and the idea of the show, I don’t think it was made to be a popular show I’m pretty sure it was made to promote the source material, that being said although I like the show it doesn’t have much substance to it, it’s a basic slice of life, no suspense, action, romance, etc. etc., at least from what I’ve seen so far of the anime/manga. But to answer the question yes it’s boring, but I still don’t think it’s a bad watch, the plot in general just needs some work.

It's way better and more interesting than Shokomori in every aspect.
Those two are so cute together and have amazing chemistry.

I agree tbh, I dropped shikimori ep 1, not that shikimori is a bad show, I just didn’t find the premise or characters that interesting, it started off to fast if you ask me. Now if it gets better in later episodes I might pick it back up.

I totally understand people that don't have the patience for it because it deliberately underplays a lot of its punchlines. But I kind of find that a unique and refreshing approach. It's slightly surreal, almost in Azumanga Daioh territory (hell Aharen riding her dog is a direct reference to Chiyo lol). And you can always count on Aharen to bust out some incredible unexpected talent, lol. So far we have Crane Game Champion, Othello Pro, Rap God, Master of the Janitorial Arts, Dancing Queen, and Pokemon Go Pro.

The sad thing is that the manga is so funny and has a lot of moments where you can laugh out loud but the anime makes it boring with the sound choice and pacing it’s such a shame tbh, you should read the manga if you’re interested the chapters are short

Its boring but competent enough not to drop it, seriously whats even the main point of this anime? At first (first episode) was about teaching the girl on how to deal with people but after that it became a funny/cute/nothing happens anime. The only good thing is how the mc exaggerates about the girl, oh she is tired today so she must stay awake at night because she is a serialkiller and things like that.

Even if its a romcom there should be a base story line, time progression, goals...

The comedy is good but it hasn’t quite grabbed me. I was watching the Dubbed version and the comedy wasn’t working for me, I’ve enjoyed it a lot more since i switched to the Sub version. I like how it contrasts their low energy reactions with zany problem solving antics. So I actually find myself laughing out loud a fair bit, but I don’t care for the characters enough yet. It reminds me a lot of Tanaka Kun is always listless, a show I really like, but it’s not as perfectly polished as that.

just because its a SOL doesn’t mean the anime have an excuse to be boring. I dont know why this particular anime is harder for me to watch even though i enjoy SOL anime myself. I guess for me the two main character not talking much or show emotion, make the jokes more stale.
them not showing emotion is part of the joke though. Aharen's body language shows intense emotion and over the top action while her face shows no emotion, and its the same with Raido's inner monologue going berserk when he has a blank expression.

Also, the show isn't boring so I don't think I'm really making an excuse by calling it a slice of life. I just don't think it's meant to entertain you in a way stuff like Shonen would


i guess that is why people can enjoy this show. Guess its just not my cup of tea.

I just finished the first episode and I feel kinda disappointed.

Not like I had super high expectations in the first place. Totally expected this show would be either "okay" or "meh" with a very slim chance of it being genuinely "good" and so far it's seeming like it belongs in the meh bracket.

Last season's odd couple anime "Taisho Otome Fairy Tale" first episode took me by complete surprise. Immediately cute and funny and charming right out the gate. And it stayed good throughout the entire run. So if you're currently watching Aharen-san but haven't yet seen Taisho then you need to evaluate your life decisions.

If you prefer action shows / movies, of course drama, slice of life, romance, etc will turn you off. It's normal. It's not boring for the target audience. That's why the majority says "nah". It's the same with non-anime stuff i.e Marvel movies vs Oscar nominated dramas.

Watch it as a SoL show so I didn't expect much but the story wasn't that boring tho. With the theme Iyashikei, I think it is doing its jobs pretty well.
nice

I have watched the majority of the series at 4x so I would agree that it's kinda boring. A couple segments are nice though. Like that rap battle.

i asked if i should drop the show because i thought the show is boring and pointed out the reason so. I never said it is complete trash or wrote a 100 pages book explaining why aharen is trash.
again, i am asking for opinions.
seeing how everyone say its worth watching though. Ill try to finish it.

I think most of it's sketches are losing some comedic scenarios. Recently, it's been mostly just about Raidou's over-confidence in competing against Aharen-san, only for her to win in quite a normal manner by suddenly showing some skills. It wasn't delivered in a humorous way. He just end up learning that Aharen-san is capable after all.
It's still quite a fun, chill, and cutesy show to watch but, I get it. It's indeed beginning to disappoint, comedy sketch-wise. Hope it gets better though.

It is pretty boring, the jokes are lame and characters are like fucking robots who are trying to figure out human behaviour. Now it's the worst anime but I think Komi-san is better

I think the point of the show is to be a relaxing, dry humor, SoL comedy. And IMO it’s doing it pretty well. If you don’t like that style then yeah I can see it being boring for you. Me personally, I enjoy the show a lot.

Yes, I often can't get along with anime sense of comedy, but I have seen much worse too. I'm just not interested enough to continue.

I love my SoLs, but the way things are paced/evolve is a bit boring. Nevertheless, it's soothing.
I sometimes forget to finish my sentences.

i really like it and i wasn’t originally gonna watch it but randomly gave it a chance and it hooked me right away
it warms my heart and i love when characters want to understand each other and accept each other
but definitely don’t watch something you find boring no reason to waste time on entertainment you don’t like, that defeats the purpose of entertainment entirely

Just drop it if you cant enjoy the comedy/SoL moments, maybe you can enjoy it better later on when you move past having Clannad or Komi at your favs, or maybe not, who knows

i like my SOL, tonikaku kawaii is one of my favorite fun fact. SOL though is not my favs, but i dont really hate it either. Romance, Tragedy is my favorite, I really enjoy most of Shakespeare’s tragedies.
komi is a SOL too so what i have in my favs dont really impact my opinion on aharen, i genuinely find the jokes to be dry af. but, few anime can funny so i dont expect much.

That is what I meant, comedies are not as universal as other stuff so not everybody can connect with them. Like I can genuinely laugh at most of the stuff of this anime because I can connect to most of the experiences that are presented, it is just as simple as that

The Komi stuff was a bad banter of mine, I dont know anything about the show lmao

there a different type of comedies and everyone has their own preferences i agree.
Im not a picky guy when watching anime, aharen is a rare situation where i am having a hard time trying to finish the episode every week
