| I have talked to some of my friends who are somewhat into anime and surprisingly they haven't heard nor watched this show but they did watch Chainsawman, Dress Up Darling, and Spy X Family. It did top Summer since Overlord IV, Classroom of the Elite, and especially Devil is a Part Timer didn't exceed expectations. In Japan, they are so obssessed with this show so much that the blu rays outsold Spy X Family and My Dress Up Darling, with some sites having where the fans voted the show the rest of the year. The funny thing is the creators didn't even seem to have planned a sequel in advanced meaning 2024 is like the earliest for a sequel if it happens, and A1 originals never go past 2 cours. Yet here, the members and talk on this show is somewhat minimal. Not to mention fans of this show in the west are way less vocal about this being the show of the year vs other shows like CSM, Bleach, Edgerunners, Kaguya, Spy X Family. Like to hear people's thoughts. |

The show isn't about lesbians what are you talking about? Two girls having any sort of interactions means they're lesbian. Welcome to the current current year. But due to biases Chisato sharing an indirect kiss with Majima doesn't mean anything. |

GhostMuttt said: ryo-san said: Western people don't appear to appreciate animes that require intelligence and imagination to enjoy Idk what you mean it’s a pretty straight forward story. Almost entirely female secret police force unjustly kills anyone who might make Japan look bad. Guy decides he’s had enough and wants to cause some chaos and expose the force. Girl decides that, even though the force is bad, it’s probably better than causing any unrest. Pretty simple story. But that's actually more complex, than perverted fat guy committing suicide by jumping in front of a truck and getting reborn with a huge d and getting 10 elves, dragons, demonlords and Lolis to bang.. which is what the west want... |

yamai_natsugami said: The show only ranked 6th in mal members. You have to remember this is a new show so the popularity during then is like at its peak. The subreddit has under 20 k members. This show kind of came and went in the west along with lycoris recoil, and people don't talk about them much now. The highest viewed lycoris recoil video by anitube doesn't even have half a million views.not sure what you mean, lycoreco already is popular in the west. when it was hearing, i never stopped hearing about lycoreco every single day. For reference, Darling in the Franxx (also by a1 pictures) was 2nd in popularity when it was airing with 1.5 million members, and it got way way more buzz from anitube, and is still heavily talked even today (not in a positive light though). DitF has over 100K members on the subreddit. It got way more videos talking about it with like millions of views. Almost 10 million views |
| Because popularity is relative and it is not necessarily the same in different places. You can be very popular, but among the silent normies. Or among the very vocal but weaboo minorities on twitter. |

icefirestone23 said: Well, Licorice itself was the bromance show, so the shiping was to be expected. In the case of the MHA, the possessed shippers were indeed a cancer, as they either went completely into their delusional delusions or attacked those who refused to support it. For example, I know a bunch of people who became passionate straight shippers of MHA characters just to take that! such people. It's very similar to Genshin fandom, which has actually taken a lot of it to the point of absurdity, with illustrators being bullied for supporting straight ships or people deliberately pushing straight ships out of dislike for slashers.RobertBobert said: The insane ChisaTaki shippers like on r/LycorisRecoil pretty much freaked people out.

icefirestone23 said: MHA is not my first shonen show and I've been used to the crazy shippers in all-male franchises for a long time now. But since MHA is extremely popular, it quickly went over the top when mangaka started getting massive attacks on twitter, and the "MomoJiro" phenomenon among female characters, where shippers take "these two girls" of female characters and start pushing the idea that they are lesbians. . Thankfully, this almost died after the advent of KamiJiro and the inability to demonize the supporters of this as well as the supporters of TodoMomo.RobertBobert said: MHA unfortunately got popular from 2014 onwards when w0ke culture was starting to g rampant, and gamergate had an uprising.

That's because reviewer is probably last staffer who likes it and that's why it's rated high. |

icefirestone23 said: With the exception of Edgerunners, all those other shows are based on beloved manga.other shows like CSM, Bleach, Edgerunners, Kaguya, Spy X Family LycoReco being an anime original with no source material had a far tougher hill to climb. It didn't help matters when most of the marketing was vague on what the show really was about other than "cute girls working in a cafe". icefirestone23 said: Based on my observations of other action shows with female protagonists such as Girls und Panzer and Princess Principal, it seems that the entire "CGDCT plus action" subgenre ain't simply as popular as the next isekai/shonen behemoth outside of Japan. It doesn't help when those "CGDCT plus action" shows barely have any sexual fanservice that could have lured in some casual audience members.The show only ranked 6th in mal members. Another guess partly why LycoReco ain't talked about much in the West is probably due to a sizeable segment of the vocal fanbase online being actually yuri shippers that moved on to the next prominent show with a lesbian couple.... which happens to have an "iskeai Chisato" starring in a Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess for Winter 2023. icefirestone23 said: One possible reason is that DITF has a self insert male protagonist where the audience can vicariously experience a romance with Zero Two. It was in DITF's favor when the romance between Hiro and Zero Two resonated with most viewers of the show.For reference, Darling in the Franxx (also by a1 pictures) was 2nd in popularity when it was airing with 1.5 million members, and it got way way more buzz from anitube, and is still heavily talked even today (not in a positive light though). DitF has over 100K members on the subreddit. It got way more videos talking about it with like millions of views. Almost 10 million views Not to mention DITF has tons of sexual fanservice and innuendos (at least compared to LycoReco). Plus DITF seems to have a lot of pre-release hype before its first episode dropped. I guess if LycoReco had an overt romance plus a self insert protagonist with tons of sexual fanservice it might have drawn in more viewers. Who knows? ClaudG said: This I agree with. The lack of an official translation of the light novel and manga has probably blunted LycoReco's momentum outside Japan.However, Japan had access to the light novels that published shortly after release and which sold like hot cakes. And with them came the accompanying buzz and marketing. So LycoReco had much more staying power in Japan than elsewhere. |
