Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie
| Izumi is probably the problem for a lot of people, I honestly just find his bad luck as a bad joke and an unfunny one, good thing they are showing it less in the recent episodes unlike at the beggining. I don't think he doesn't have redeeming qualities, aside from his bad luck he isn't that different from a normal protagonist that has to be protected by girl(s), I know saying "he is a nice person" isn't much but at least you can see him trying his best to do stuff on his own despite his bad luck and tries to make Shikimori happy too, at least he isn't an annoying perv that just want to touch breasts or something. |
| If you think Izumi ruins the anime, then drop the anime. Noone is forcing you to watch it. |
| This anime is just a waifu bait if you don't like shikimori or are not interested in then this anime will feel wrong to you. You just have to look at it from a shikimori point of view, if you do that then it won't be a problem for you to see izumi like a 2 year old baby. This anime is very weird |

| the mc isnt great but hes not all to blame. the show is just bland, whether its the main/side characters, premise or plot- shikimori as a show just doesn't have much to offer |
| Yeah, I probably would've somewhat enjoyed this anime if it wasn't for MC |

Yep yep. Nothing wrong with him. They I beleive they went overboard with the misfortune for his character. He's a sweetie but I don't like how his character's defining point is the stupid bad luck. Jeez. It's so extra. Puts me off personally. |

| I like the role reversal. The concept of it is refreshing. Like come on aren't people bored with female characters looking like busty, incompetent, airheaded sex dolls ? Enough with that BS depiction of female leads/characters in general. I'm going off the point but jeez write a better story if you want views. The show is cringe at times. But I don't think there's so much reason to hate. Know what I mean? |
| |
| Actually to some extent all these characters were lowkey written quite poorly. No hate. Not impressed either but ima still see it through cause why not. It is a shame tho. |

Cestlavie_ said: Yh Izumi is 70% of the problem the plot 20% the side characters 10% Izumi just has nothing going for him to be a protagonist, no goals to drive the plot forward no drive , he is more suited as a side character, The side characters are now forced to carry the show and they aren't great except that bakugo kid and Kamiya The plot is below mediocre even for SOL If anything the last episode was the best since Izumi had little to no screen time "that bakugo kid" ๐๐ Yeah we all thought it lol I'm just pleased I got to see someone say it ๐๐ nice nice thank you It's so bad it's almost funny |

| MC is fine, it's the bad luck that's annoying, I'm here for a chill wholesome anime, but this feels like a thriller sometimes. shash_king18 said: (with reference to above replies) Lmao first of all few people & manga readers create stupid hype around this show that Shikimori is going to compete with Marin Kitagawa~ & the story will also compete with Dress Up Darling which was later exposed to be an average romcom with a too much perfect female protagonist & a lame MC And now they are saying "dRoP iT iF yOu DoN't lIkE iT", so what was the point of creating hype!? The people who created hype for this show already dug graves for Shikimori. (with reference to question) The MC is not the problem, the hype surrounding this show before it actually started airing was a main problem for me. It totally failed according to my expectations even though if the show is pretty decent (extra opinion) Shikimori is not even among the top 5 girl of this season Yeah that's definitely your fault for thinking others will have the same taste as yours. |
| THE WHOLE CAST IS DEPLORABLE. |
 |
| To me, MC would be the problem if the story had at least something worth watching. But currently, he is just one of many flaws of this snooze fest |

| the mc is the problem, i feel like the show would be even a tiny bit better if it wasn't because of his character |
Friends are nothing more than the people who you spend the fun, yet meaningless times with. When those times get rough, they aren’t there to support you. My Mushoku Tensei Review |
| He's pretty much the main problem, but the show itself is just weak. |
| yeah for me the problem is izumi ngl. last episode was only watchable because he got no screentime |

tobythesandwich said: The show as a whole was weak and the super fans who can’t let anyone say anything critical of shikimori haven’t helped. Izumi is by far the worst part of the show. His writing is just a lazy vehicle to get to that stupid fucking shikimori face. The “the rest of the show looks like ass so we can blow out budgetary load on this one face”. There’s bad luck and then there’s just stupid plot devices in a grounded show. The whole bad luck thing is way overdone and stopped being funny after the first episode. Also the show was hyped to the moon and I’m not sure why suddenly everyone acts like that never happened. literally! everything you said here I agree with. |

| Is the role reversal too much? not really. Problem? probably the audience. Me or you. If there's such a thing as a negative perspective, there should also be a positive one and your question is the former. It is important how you see it more than what others see from it. If you enjoy it, then continue. If you dislike it, then discontinue. Just as the others already said, he isn't effeminate. I've seen a lot of posts of him being a femboy, but I don't think he is. Being kind and humble is him, especially being considerate towards others. If you cannot even recognize those things from the character, then pretty much, the audience is the problem and not the story. |

| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| He was for the first few episodes when they were over-using the bad luck gag. Its stabilised now into a somewhat enjoyable fluff, courtesy of Izumi's parents. |
 |
| He is pretty cringey, but no. The story is completely based on a relationship that I've been given no reason to care about. |

Back to starting comparisons with other anime, fools never learn. |
