A Girl & Her Guard Dog
| lol thanks, most of its infamy is for a large age-gap with a seemingly possessive relationship |
 |
| I read the manga for this. Immediately did not like it at all. I'm used to the absurd age gaps (but don't like it) Let me tell you why this is getting flack despite only reading the manga. This story is damn creepy. The art never say right with me and reading this irritated me. But mainly because of how DAMN YOUNG THIS GIRL LOOKS WITH THIS GROWN ASS MAN. She looks like a small helpless child being groomed but an older man. It's gross and creepy. Won't be surprised if my comment gets removed but it's the truth. |
 |
| I'll watch it but sure as shit wont like it. |
| |
| I'm not a particular fan of this type of problematic romance shenanigan's but I will say it tries so hard to be, I don't want to say "edgy" but the page that is circling around Twitter right now, I'll be honest. It made me laugh with how hard it's going on that age gap incest heavy and pushing the groomer card as all hell. It doesn't feel sincere when it's trying to lean in. (even if she wasn't a child, it'd be weird as hell having a man tell you he'd replace your whole family LIKE SIR???). And I contrast that with the other shoujo anime that's going on this season that nobody is batting an eye at and is really popular with that crowd on socmed: Sugar Apple Fairy Tale The age gap is there, the creepy undertones of how helpless and clueless our MC girl be because she's a teenager, our 100+ year old faerie protector. I mean it's all here, the packaging is just more sincere and less like it's trying go into creep territory. And personally Sugar Apple Fairy Tale is pretty average but only because it's writing is kind of all over the place not because it has all that weird shit. |

@AnIme_M1lfShaKe It's extra annoying because the show hasn't even aired yet, like at least wait until it comes out first before you start whining
I also don't buy a lot of the "controversy" around it either because the anime community has way worse stuff that seemingly slides by without a problem, I'm sure if it wasn't a shoujo and if the genders were swapped no one would bat an eye

| @texasfangirl1999 I'm pretty sure an adult falling in love with a child is not ok at any rate, no matter the gender composition. |

| Welp, this is one anime I'm never touching with a ten-foot pole... EVER. |

I’ll probably watch it too.
| @AngelMilky_15 same here, just out of curiosity from reading the synopsis. i probably will make some "yikes"/"oh boy" type side comments while watching it. i definitely will give a few episodes a try to see if i want to continue it or not |
 |
| i read the synopsis and thought "oh it might be funny with the guy chasing her in school and scaring the other kids lol then watched the pv and saw them sleeping together like that ... and not sure anymore , i'll probably watch the 1st ep anyway |
favorite "new girls" from fall <3 (lol i only watched these) ... click sig for older seasons  |

Did you forget that mangas exist? |
| everything is controversial and should be cancelled tbh if youre an orphan adopted by a dude and so much as blush if your dad carries you, youre being sexualised if your 7 yr old friend has a very obviously gag and normal crush on your said hot dad its also bad and problematic if youre having a nightmare and see a scene of your wife who you met as an adult as a child mindbreaking you its clearly proof you actually groomed her and thus a problematic anime if youre a 40 yr old mom who died and reincarnate as a 10 yr old and have a 10 yr old kid in love with you thats also obviously pedophilla but on the flip side if u want to get together with your old husband thats also pedophilla should just die alone for daring to be reincrnated tbh |
| reiwa weebs will unironically tell u they want a remake or sequel but when they get it ,its suddenly souless and a cashgrab cause they dont like the thing anymore and cant fathom they grew out of it and must mean the show somehow became bad |

The modern Western society thrives on conflict. Where there's the slightest possibility of arguing about something, it's gonna take it by the balls.
Akari Kitou is 28.
Everything else is a fictional animated character. That's pretty much where the line should be drawn. No one cares if you found it morally questionable. Art is art.
But I guess projecting reality into fiction is a very popular thing to do these days, as is equating one to another. SMH.

| @conquerator2 You probably experienced the modern eastern society from anime only. |

Reply to conquerator2
@Swagernator Not sure how that relates to my post. I've never even mentioned the east. That society is certainly not perfect, but at least it puts an emphasis on harmony, rather than getting up in arms over animated content.
| @conquerator2 As ive said, only seen it from anime. |

| It's literally not grooming, so sick of hearing morons throw this term out for any sort of age gap. For it to be grooming there would have to be a clear and purposeful intent of raising her to be a romantic partner, and this is objectively not true. He certainly has his issues, but at the start of the story it's a completely one sided romantic love. If you're reading into every little thing he does as being creepy, I would wager it has a lot to do with how you think of men in general. |
| If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that. |
| Ah yes, problematic shoujo's, my favorite type of anime. |

| Because tourists need something to complain about now that Mushoku Tensei has ended. Got to keep the perpetual outrage going after all |
| Esh. I'm gonna watch it and then decide if it deserves the flack it's been getting. |

it's not the greatest storyline
there's mostly 3 things
1. the age gap
she's like 15-16 and he's 26
there are great stories with this 10yr age gap that, although uncomfortable and disgusting, work.
the manga about the suicidal jk has a big age gap too but it's very good
2. their relationship
he is her caretaker
they met when she was 5 and he was 15
he's been taking care of her ever since, which makes their relationship sibling-like, he even tells her that he is her mother, father, brother, boyfriend, Everything 💀
she's been groomed
3. he is a yandere
he is obsessed with her because she needs him (as a body guard)
he's been abandoned in the past and now has someone who needs him and he loves being need
so when she goes to school alone, he flips💀
ml needs therapy and a lot of work
I (me, myself, and I) could let the age gap slide IF their relationship wasn't built in grooming

| @angel1309 ok thanks for all the information. I honestly was going to skip this one but this post convinced me to give it a try. I thought it was going to be classic generic shoujo romance but sounds spicy. |

| @LostSpectre This this this! I read the manga and he doesn't raise her to be with him. He protects her and watches over her her entire life. It's honestly just twitter brain rotters seething at things they don't like per usual. Best to ignore them. Shows like this tend to gatekeep themselves. |

| @lostspectre Had a dude telling me that asking for suggestive photos from your student with ZERO intent of ever grooming them (cause he finds her ugly af and was just doing it cause he's a dick) Is grooming Also all the examples I posted Everythings grooming |

convinced you to watch? 🫣
ngl you shouldn't it's bad 😭
| @angel1309 whenever i see people calling romance shows bad, that usually means i will like them. People tend to hate romance shows where things happen so thats usually a good indicator that i will like a show. I couldnt care less about morals in fiction,if every fictional work was stripped of everything spicy we would have left with only sea animal documentaries. All i care for is entertainment and you promised me entertainment ^_^ |

| Honestly, this feels like some classic ass shoujo from the 90s/early 00s. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. |
| It's just bad, at least the first episode. And no, this isn't about the age-gap issue. Koi wa Amaagari no You ni by Wit Studio is rated high despite having an even wider age gap. I really like this show too. |
