I don't know about the demographic, but I can't imagine anybody over the age of thirteen actually liking this show.

The purpose of text bubbles is not always solely explaining (or, spoon-feeding) the stuffs/emotions/monologues happening. Sometimes it gives the "manga" feel, sometimes it is used along with narrations, or sometimes it is used as a part of the comedic element. I personally think text bubbles flows well along with this show.

I'm 26 I think this show is amazing

__potato__ said:
Yeah I would say the show's for teens and above (without the fanservice I would say all ages) and the speech bubbles are just a quirk of it that kinda link it to the manga probably

whelp im 22 and am caught up to ch 354 so dunno what to tell you bud,the series gets really damn good into the characters 2nd year of hs

certifiedbinger said:

Unless the entire class stops acting like potential sex offenders, I don't see this show getting better for me. Even if it does get better, I'm definitely not consuming 300 chapters worth of hideous content just to get to the 'good part'.

BeowulfTheFoldin said:
yamai is the only person who acts like a sex offender

BeowulfTheFoldin said:

But if you dont like it then you dont need to read it but insulting it by calling it hideous is a waste of energy on your part when your take on the series is pretty surface level

certifiedbinger said:

Okay so there's a chick who literally wants to be Komi's 'bitch'. Then there's literally every single guy in class who wants to murder the MC for having a conversation with her. The Chuunibyou was fine until she started competing with Ren over their thirst for Komi for whatever reason. And don't get me started on the parody that is Najimi. I liked the dynamic between the MC and the FMC but based off the first four episodes of S2, they clearly care more about giving us that Ren screentime, because everybody's just dying to see her again. And there's other shows like Aharen this season, that did the dynamic pretty well. So again, nothing stands out about this show.


I think I already said I wasn't going to read it, so I'm not quite sure why you saw the need to give your approval there. As far as my take goes, I'd be delighted to hear some non-surface level takes. Because frankly, everything about this show is unbashedly surface level. Komi's communication problems- the element of depth this show based its premise off, quickly became redundant when literally every person in that school gets wet for her.

BeowulfTheFoldin said:
s1 merely sets up the premise and s2 is sorta transitional as far as the adaptation of chapters goes,at this point in the story komi hasn't evolved into more then a seasonal with a good premise,its the introduction of other characters and their interpersonal relationships towards the emd of her first year and into her 2nd where the series moves past a gimmick and embraces its strength in character building. Komi herself really grows as a person over the course of her 2nd year and trust me there are characters who just dont get along with komi.

certifiedbinger said:

So you're purely going off the manga here. It's sort of contradictory that you claim my takes are surface level when I'm strictly referring to the anime adaptation up until S2E4.
I cannot say anything about what goes on in that second year, but the gimmick you speak of is incredibly exhausting and prevents any sort of immersion in the show as far as I'm concerned. After four weeks of constant disappointment, I just don't see the point in continuing the series. Either way, we're all here for entertainment and you do you.

gogoanime and wcofun.com should have up to the current ep in sub and the most currently releeased dub ep

edit: before you quote me to declare your age and love for this show, kindly pay attention to the 'I cant' part. I'm not asking anybody to justify their love for this series or whatever, just expressing my own inability to have a positive experience with this show.

Young_Gzus said:

Really?
You can't imagine anyone over 13 who would like this anime?

The manga has sold millions of copies, the anime was positively received and was picked up for a season 2.

All of that only from kids under 13?

I hope you are being sarcastic but it comes off as just silly.

certifiedbinger said:

And here's another. Are you people biologically incapable of reading the whole thing?
And yes, I was obviously being facetious. As evident by a couple of others who felt compelled to tell me their ages as if I were conducting some kind of census.

"People over the age of 13 don't like this show"
VS
"I can't imagine anybody over the age of 13 liking this show"

If you can't tell them apart, it's tragic.

lizzziziz said:
it's categorized as shounen. aka the guy teens demographic

Young_Gzus said:

Your "edit" in your post doesn't make your statement any less clear. You are expressing you inability to enjoy the anime vs stating other peoples ability to like said anime based on their age.

Young_Gzus said:

I apologize that your sarcasm doesn't come across as sarcasm over text.

Young_Gzus said:

people over 13 dont like the anime. (we have numbers and peoples personal reviews of it)

vs

I cant imagine people over 13 who would like this anime.
(You are mentally incapable of imagining people over 13 who would like it just because you are unable to enjoy it?)

certifiedbinger said:

This right here, is the problem with your understanding of my post. You think I speak for other people. That's retarded; I only speak for myself. I couldn't give a flying fuck about 'other people's ability' to like this lmao. I felt like this is a show that caters to thirteen year olds, and I said it. If you want to interpret that as judging people's taste and calling them teenagers, sure go ahead. But bear in mind, that's your interpretation of my post, which was NOT my point. If you want to get into the semantics of the sentence formation, I'd recommend language school, not the internet.


That's quite astonishing given you already know how wildly popular this show is. What else could it have been but sarcasm?


The first alternative is obviously what you interpreted my post to be, since you dove right into statistics and manga sales, completely missing my point. Yet, here you are again, waving the numbers and reviews as if they're relevant to what I said.

As far as the second alternative goes, that's still your interpretation of my post, and I've made it VERY clear that's not what I implied and meant. You claim to understand that I expressed my inability to like the show, but you twist that to fit your own image of the statement; being a diss to everybody who likes the show.

Young_Gzus said:

You didn't say this show caters to 13 year olds, you said you can't imagine anyone older than 13 liking the show. If you can't tell those apart, its tragic.

Young_Gzus said:

Obviously all of us were suppose to know you were being fecious. On behalf of myself and anyone who replied to you I apologize.

You are absolutely right. Very very clear post.

This is a shounen?
I trought a shounen is like a long well written Story.
Komi san seems more like a slice of life.

certifiedbinger said:

Kindly do enlighten me as to how the two statements imply different things, since you came up with that tragic remark in an incredibly orignal fashion.


Why, thank you good sir!

Young_Gzus said:




Sure, I will gladly enlighten you. 1 of the statements is a FACT while the other is a personal opinion expressed BY YOU.

1. The FACT.
The anime IS a shounen anime. The definition of shounen is as states: "Shounen: are Japanese comics mainly marketed and aimed at a young teen male readership typically between the ages of 12 through 18."

Obviously the anime is catering to 13 year old's as it is a shounen which targets TEENAGERS.

2. The OPINION
Your opinion "Can't imagine anyone older than 13 liking the show".... Which is pretty ridiculous, but we now know you were being sarcastic cause I had to ask you. Not from your VERY CLEAR POST.


In conclusion, an anime can be liked by people OUTSIDE its target demographic.


I hope this clears up any misunderstanding you may be having.

And again I apologize for not knowing your OBVIOUS sarcasm.

P.S This is quite funny and ironic having a discussion on not understanding and communicating on the Komi cant communicate form.

certifiedbinger said:

Okay so your point revolves around the age '13' fitting in the shonen demographic, so when I say something 'caters to thirteen year olds' it automatically caters to people between 12-18?
That's laughably wrong.

The demographic being shonen is undeniably a fact. But when I say it's for thirteen year olds imo, why in the name of God's green earth would I mean the entire shonen demographic lmao.
You're preaching about misunderstandings and communication problems but you're still assuming I made my original post to come off as a 'fact', that you're trying to disprove using the 'shonen demographic' argument. And your constant assumptions, after disregarding my clarifications is why you're still here.


As far as those repeated jibes at sarcasm go, I'm still astonished you couldn't grasp that. I mean, sarcasm isn't even the right word for it, it's way too obvious for that. That's why I specifically used facetious. If you HAVE the statistics, reviews and data, why would you believe I'm claiming people above 13 don't like the show?
