| So... episode 4 just aired and I got through 1/3 of the season, just so I can have a good basis to make this thread (I could argue that in these types of shows 1 or 2 is enough because the formulae doesn't change that much throughout) in search for some insight. I am a firm believer that you can't compare shows which serve different purposes or have a very different genre: like saying SPYxFAMILY is way better than Kaguya-sama, or vice-versa, when they have completly different purpose/orientation and objectives to begin with - so, not that comparable OVERALL (you can compare animation or openings, for example). But even in its own genre and with direct "competition", this show is probably the most unfunny, boring and uninteresting in recent times... Plus, I don't consider myself hard to crack, shows like Takagi-san or Komi-san - far from pure comedy shows like Nichijou and Saiki - make me laugh. HELL, even Uzaki-chan (which is not that great of a show itself) captured me more! I have been wrong about shows because I missed or misunderstood somethings or the entire vibe of one show. Was this one of those cases?! Does at any point make a big improvement / is it worth power through?! What do you thought about it, so far?! |

filimaua13 said: Fair game, actually you bring a good point. What really made the situations unfunny for me was the lack of expressions and overall staleness of the scenes. Maybe that's why, since what I've been enjoying most in Komi-san for example is the funny expressions and reactions she has.It may not be the type of comedy for you, since it made me laugh a few times. The two characters are pretty fun to watch cos they both seem so quiet and emotionless but their actions and thought process are far from it which leads them to do extremely ridiculous things. I like it cos it ain't the same obnoxious facial expressions or stupidly loud reactions from them. Its a dry straightforward type of humor that anime doesn't seem to have in general. So I much appreciated it. This is more my type of humor. |

official_brown said: Yeah I mean, as I said I actually enjoy the genre and normally these are the shows that I save for last in the week to have a wholesome fun time, Kaguya and Komi-san being present examples of that. But I don't know it just didn't click...It got good the first episode. It’s just your average Comedy/SoL, so anything in that category I most likely will love it. Depends if it’s for you or not. If you’re not really enjoying it by this point you can drop it I did exatly that unfortunatly... did dropped it as of today hence this thread. I tried it because I saw a decent hype on reddit about the manga, but I guess it just wasn't for me. |

Deku_kamado said: Yeah, maybe I also dropped it because this season had so many surprise shows that I ended up enjoying and wanting to watch that the weaker RomCom/SoL of the season had to go.. 4 is way to many anyways tho.It surpassed my expectations (i had pretty low expectations). I mean it's soL and 1 ep comes per week and it's entertaining for me to watch so I don't have any problem. |
|
| That would be starting at episode 1. |
 |
| It gets good from the first few seconds and is pretty much always good. |
| Not yet quite similar feeling from what got from reading early manga chapters. |

Ej_Otaku_sama said: Pretty interesting sorting of shows and take... We can agree in almost everything minus the Komi-san < Uzaki-chan, but hey 9/10 takes agreeing is not a bad ratio!!I think it met my expectations. For me, I enjoyed Takagi-san cause it was adorable. On the other hand, I dropped Komi pretty fast. (I'm gonna pick it back up though probably since it has a second season) but just watching the exact same process pretty much over and over is what it feels like every episode with these type of anime in general. Like, for example Takagi San has romance and you can tell she likes him and is trying to show him in a way, and that keeps me intrigued. Vs. From what I've seen from Komi, it's just gonna be him trying to get her to talk the whole time and maybe a few funny moments at most; which caused me to drop it in the first place. (If yall want real comedy go watch Gintama) I liked Uzaki-chan cause it really felt like they were getting closer and closer. Plus it was actually funny. So all in all, off of first viewing; Komi-san was garbage, Uzaki-Chan was fire, Takagi-san was pretty good and adorable. So off this list i've made you should be able to tell what I'm about to say. Aharen-san...plot-wise, it's in between Komi-san and Uzaki-chan. Comedy wise, it's on the same level as Komi-san pretty much. So maybe if they added atleast a little romance or more comedy it'd be better, but Aharen-san is easily droppable right now. [Even though I say that, I'm still gonna watch it though]😂 |

[Even though I say that, I'm still gonna watch it though]😂 Ehh I wouldn't say komi-san is trash but wouldn't say it's great either I mainly watch if for two things : First being komi-san (in my favs btw XD) and second being the interaction b/w tadano and komi which is pretty cute and wholesome. Other than that everything in the show is cringe tbh |

Kasutoro-Kun said: I already did unfortunatly... I normally don't drop series and so I made a thread to see if I missed something or what people think.I mean do you want to drop it? You don't have to watch it if you don't want to. Unless you're like me who mostly tries to finish shows that I don't like because I try not to drop stuff. |

bitwright said: Thanks for the input, I decided unfortunetly to drop it since I have already a lot of shows with the same genre and overall, but who knows some day I might give the manga a go!Well, at least you gave it a try. Personally, this show is right up my ally. So much so that I started binging the manga after watching episode 1. I'm loving the show and can't wait to see certain parts of the manga animated. But, I understand that not everyone is going to love it, and I'm not the kind of person who gets upset at people not liking something they like. You do you. If you are not enjoying the show at this point, then you probably aren't going to ever like it. The Aharen-san manga has kept the same pace throughout its run so far. There are a lot of repeated gags that get reused in different chapters. Where the manga shines is in the chemistry between its characters and in the growth that they show as they become better friends. But if you are not enjoying the humor now then I doubt you will be enjoying it a few weeks from now when they make the same joke for the umpteenth time, regardless of how dynamic or enjoyable the characters are. |

tobythesandwich said: Well you did go out of your way to comment here so, kinda coming out as projecting. I could be wrong but from your comment not that big of a reach.It’s been good. If you don’t like it stop watching. Or do you want everybody to clap and applaud that you’re not into it? We’re all paying attention to you. Is that what you want? Anyway, if you know how to read you might notice that I made this thread because I sometimes miss the whole point of a show or misunderstand it and end up not watching it / dropping it. As I decided to drop this anime I though why not see what people are thinking 1/3 of the way. Now, if you want to drop the cool and teenager "who cares" act and formulate a comment on what you though of the show, like every person here... let's here it. |

ICenturyI said: I have been wrong about shows because I missed or misunderstood somethings or the entire vibe of one show. Was this one of those cases?! Does at any point make a big improvement / is it worth power through?! I don't know how anyone can misunderstand the entire vibe of a simple slice-of-life anime. There's no "big improvement". If you don't find it funny or worth watching now, then there's no reason to stick with it. Any anime that isn't doing it for you, isn't doing it for you simple as. At least the show is rated correctly unlike a specific anime airing this season that will remain nameless. |

samsince04 said: I asked if I did, exactly because I don't think I missed anything. The show, for me, just wasn't funny hence I dropped it. But there are a lot of cases where the arguments like "Demon Slayer was not that good because the plot isn't deep" appear, where the person completly missed the point and objective of the show.ICenturyI said: I have been wrong about shows because I missed or misunderstood somethings or the entire vibe of one show.

Just making sure I am not making a mistake saying there was not really more to it just didn't find it funny. And seeing what people thought so far of it! |
|
| It's an slice of life anime lmao it's funny, don't expect a new Gintama or smsh |
| y'all should watch haibane renmei |
| Episode 1 wasn't the greatest, but for me, it picked up from there. It's just so cute, chill and wholesome. I like seeing Raidou and Aharen interact. It's not the funniest thing I've seen, but it definitely does have its moments for me. |
 |
| The comparison is WRONG but the vibe is right.Although,the show isnt supposed to be humorous or "Romantic",its supposed to provide a healing effect on the mind.The iyashikei element which would have otherwise,overshadowed any other sub-genre,is now becoming the cause for the show's repetitions and bland confabulations,Far below than what i expected... |
 |
| It gets good at episode 1 |
| When you stop watching something you are not enjoying. |
| This anime is exactly what i expected it to be from the very beginning . |
"We are all like fireworks: we climb, we shine and always go our separate ways and become further apart. But even when that time comes, let's not disappear like a firework and continue to shine.. forever ." |
It's already good enough. In fact, it was good on the first minute from the first episode. |
SkyLETV said: I started this thread exactly because I dropped the show. But yeah I agree with the comment.When you stop watching something you are not enjoying. |

| I liked it from first episode. If it's not for you, don't watch it. |
