Why did they do this ?

not yuri is friendship

Where exactly do you even saw yuri in this like some sort of Crusader?

Cause it’s funny

I really love how Yuuki is our MC but isn’t our focus character. He is a good character and in S2 he gets more development. He will defiantly get more development in a S3 especially with his memories starting to come back in S2.

But I see this series as Pecorine’s story especially for the first 2 seasons.

I'm not saying it's a yuri. I'm just stating the fact that there was definitively a YURI-BAITty-vibe going on.
and no I'm not user @yuri-crusader lol

We have really reached the point, where even the most mundane interaction between two girls is immediately "yuri bait" lol
Still remember butthurt those fetishists had about Euphonium.

Bruh






Him not being given major screentime to actually bond with his teammates and friends dragged this to the ground a bit cousidering the reason why he was living these moments in the first place.

He was just there most of the time

This results in the whole ending of the Season 2 felling forced and incredibily shallow imo.

If there ever was a Season 3 (which is unlikely I think) I hope they come up with something solid cause the rest of the show was fire but all these shortcoming were a real bummer

Yuuki is a genuinely funny character, the show would have only been made worse if they made him the generic "constantly gets flustered because he's surrounded by a hot waifu harem" MC you get in almost every other show like this.

Because the staff is only interested in showing off cute girls from the game, rather than actually telling a decent story, or being faithful to the source material.
Nobody cares about the male characters (or so they think), but the story can't exist without Yuuki, so he gets relegated to side character status, and the other important male characters are deleted from the story.
They just want you to watch kyaru and peco hug because it is uguu kawaii

I was considering anything but the both ends of the (Isekai) anime MC protagonist spectrum,



I believe there is either a balance or a good execution with whatever the author choose to go with.

The Yuuki case is just a miss. I found him incredibily refreshing in the beginning but it ulyimately went nowhere.

In fairness, Octo, Daigou, Masaki and Raji don't become relevant up until Chapter 5 of the game (which takes place 6-7 months after Yuuki and Kokkoro had met Pecorine, Karyl and Yui; not to mention, Yuuki had already regained some bits of his mental faculties when this happened), which the anime rushed through up to the end of Arc 1 (pretty much skipping a very large bulk of Chapters 6 to 14).

It's really Muimi who got the short end in my opinion. Since her very appearance and reunion with Yuuki is what kickstarts the Main Story.

Saku_k said:


Well if we are going to talk about missing characters who got the short end of the stick, I think that would be Yui way before Muimi.

Raji and Daigou are kind of whatever for Arc 1, and you can't have Octo without Muimi, but at the very least, Masaki should've been present. His absence when you have Neneka is kind of inexplicable. Neneka is captured and he is nowhere to be found or even mentioned. He may not be that important in the grand scheme of things, sure, but in my opinion the only reason for his absence is because he isn't a girl and the creators of the anime don't care for the source material.
