Anyone else getting bored on this anime?

Well, I will be honest, I am pretty bored since E6. Maybe a big part is caused because of the MC who is made as a self insert, he doesn't talk much, doesn't have much of a character, and isn't even like a bit annoying like Kyon (Melancholy's MC). I am not demanding someone like 8man, but at least some character please?

Not talking about how the girls don't have that much character growth but their whole emotion depends upon the surroundings characters, they feel like a side character in their own story and it's not because they are losing Heroines, but because we don't get any monologue or any solid character progress (like Rudy not touching Eris badly in E6 or 7 of S1 after molesting her the previous episode, bad example but gets my point across).

And now the whole festival arc and student council involvement, maybe I am just too old to watch this sh*t. And don't tell me I don't like romance, I am eating up Days with my Step Sister, S&W and liking (only a bit) Roshidere. I feel Makeine along with Shikanoko are both the weakest animes of this season, but weirdly everyone around me likes it. I am sure people will forget about this anime by next season. It's just way worse than bangers like BokuYaba or Horimiya (some people were comparing this to them).

I may drop this and pick up Wistoria.

I think it's great, I'm bored of generic harems and isekai/harem/manhwa protagonists that are all almost perfect and with girls who fall in love with them in 3 chapters, chapter 7 and 4 seemed to me the best of makeine, I like its not so exaggerated humor makes the series enjoyable, if you don't like it it's because it's not for you, I've been watching romcoms for 11 years and I think it's pretty good, so it's simply not for you.

Liking roshidere over this is like prefering naruto to hunter x hunter. Lol
Even shikonoko wrecks it imo. I think make heroine is one of the best of the season next to kinnikuman.

Btw did you even watch it? I checked your list and make heroine and episode count are all blank in watching on hold and drop.

I found funny that when someone doesnt like a romance, they always go with the old reliable the mc is a self insert. We must be watching other show cuz the characters that have been focused on, have shown progress. Im sure we will see some development of the mc eventually. Plus you mention liking roshidere and complain about lack of character development, im confused lol.

I can see where you're coming from with the mc, but in still enjoying it quite a lot. I have no idea how far the series plans on going with its developments, but if it's more of a slow burn then I'd be fine with that as well, so I guess I don't agree

I will agree about nokotan though, I think nokotan is one of my least favorite this season

Roshidere I think is getting dogged on for being taken out of context, ie. incest jokes a little too much, it actually has quite a few nicely niche things about it and I'm loving it so far

I started despising it for taking student council too seriously. Dropped after episode 8.

Nope,bro it's just you or maybe a few but the anime is good,Nice quality,MC not being the center even though there are some parts but it's a good show. It just might not be of your taste.

Alya seems to have three camps. Those who won't stop talking about how great Yuki is, those who don't like it because of the fan service/Yuki, and the camp I'm in. I don't care for the fan service and less the incest parts but I'm still enjoying the rest enough that I'll keep watching. But after this week's episode how many people were upset the Yuki scene wasn't like the LN (which was much more vulgar) was discouraging... 😂

yeah its hard to pick a side when roshidere discussion feels like 50% goonerisms and 50% yeah this shit sucks because uhhhh I see the fanservice and that's all the face value I am going to take from it

I've heard the opposite online. That Makeine is the strongest romcom of the season, and I agree with it too. I nearly dropped it after the first three episodes but continued with it and have been loving it since the fourth episode.

I don't really see Nukimizu as a self-insert. He does talk a lot, maybe less than Yanami because that's just her personality but the moments where he are silent are really good, like when he was simply listening to console Lemon after her upset.

It might just not be for you. I do find all the school events and preparation arcs boring both here and roshidere but I guess that's just part of what a highschool romcom is.

Like the Russian chick anime, it was good the first few episodes. Even funny and interesting. Now it's just mediocre like majority of all anime nowadays.

Yeah, I'm not really sure what it could possibly imply about someone if they're that upset about that rabbit scene being cut 😂 I honestly found the other jokes funny but that one is just plain weird. It's basically crossing the line from ironic to unironic.

Giji got really good. I agree that her immediate infatuation was kinda weird and I didn't like him at first. But after almost dropping it I ended up starting to really enjoy it. He's grown on me too, I've always loved her character and the VA deserves so much credit.

Hard disagree. It’s refreshing to see a romcom where the female love interests don’t just instantly drop their former crushes in favor of the MC. It’s obvious that they’re gonna eventually compete for Nuzumiku, but right now they’re all dealing with their feelings after being rejected. The emotions don’t just go away, and it’s hard for someone who’s still in love with one person to start seeing other people as potential love interests. That’s why the whole running gag with Yanami baiting Nuzumiku into thinking she’s starting to view him as a potential boyfriend is so great. Even tho she consistently deflated his expectations, there’s tons of signs that she actually is starting to fall for jim, but just doesn’t even realize it yet herself bc of her lingering love for Sosuke. Same with all of the other girls.

It seems that a lot of people who don’t like anime are watching anime and getting bored. That’s fine, but nobody needs to know if a random individual doesn’t enjoy a show. I am finding it harder every year to find a decent brand of coffee. I’m probably going to drop Nescafé and pick up Costa, but I’m sure nobody cares about that either. BTW I enjoy all the shows mentioned in this thread and will probably watch them to the end.

This anime is pretty good. I wouldn’t say it’s the best, I like Elusive Samurai more. But the visuals, animation, characters, story, plot and everything else reminds me very well of Makoto Shinkai’s movies style.

I'm getting a little bored, too. all of the Chihaya drama was frankly ridiculous and a little over the top for me. the mc is generic and doesn't really have an active role in anything going on (which is kinda the point).

I don't think it's the most boring of the season though as Shoshimin exists. I wouldn't recommend picking up wistoria to cure your boredom either. it's a generic magic high school shonen. if you want something from this season, I'd recommend Mayonaka Punch or The Elusive Samurai

@rohan121 aah, I update my MAL at the end of every season instead of each week, and also give final ratings with or without review. I like Roshidere because of Imouto else the Student Council shit is lame and Alya is annoying tbh. And not Haruhi kind of annoying but a bad kind of annoying.

@Cayusashi I am watching Elusive Samurai and I guess we feel the same about Makeine. I like Shishomin after I come from college and need something chill to watch while I lay in bed. I watched Wistoria and it's good for now, I kinda liked Mashle so this will be fine too ig.

Edit: I am actually watching Dr House to fill up my boredom lol, I think I should take a break from all these things and create some projects for college. I watch anime for peace but can't digest teenagers whining about becoming a part of Student Council, like it's not even fun irl.

@RomanRonin Many RomComs are actually like that where MC is not the center character, Oregairu or Toradora or or BokuYaba or even Horimiya as examples.

I feel that the show took the cliche of "losing heroines" and wanted to be serious about it, which is not hitting me. I mean I am the type of guy which reads Otome Manhwa, played many Otome games and have watched cringe fest shows like "You", so I know a bit about someone feeling down, but those feelings never came across anytime in this anime.

Like the pacing is strictly 2 episode per girl, 3 girls, so the arcs will repeat like that. Like Monogatari did extremely well with the feeling of love sickness with Hanekawa and Nadeko, hell, second arc of Off Season was about facing the past and growing up, and if I get 2% of character development here that Monogatari offered, I would be happy to watch this.

And one thing that even die hard fans agree is that the shy "Bocchi" character is boring. For me, other characters are as empty as Bocchi but they just have their quirks (like Lemon being an athlete and the common "tomboy" character and Otter san loves eating and being the Blue haired losing Heroine).

I bet if the animation was not this good, many people would have dropped the show by E3.

Based on the anime that your comparing it to I get the vibe that you like romances with more mature and lowkey vibes. Even BokuYaba which is largely the usual high school romcom has the more mature elements with the mc's sexual desires and a lot of the show is just his inner thoughts. Makeine, while having a lot of subtleties, is very high energy or in your face a lot of the times with these wacky characters. Moreso with Shikanoko. So if I had to guess it probably is just your age or your mood. That on top of how there is no exact overarching plot direction may be the reason for your lack of emotional investment cuz even regular romcoms have the end goal of confession, but that's not even the case here.

@Oioioioi1234 I don't care about confession, like Oregairu never had one, nor Nisekoi (at least the anime), so it's not that, but I am a man of plot and that's why I like Monogatari and Toradora.

I think Makeine is too teenagey, it's not a word but I think it's like Billie Eilish's songs, which many like but is straight up too cringe for me.

Or I had a lot of expectations from this like I had from that Deaf Romance Shoujo Anime last season. I really thought that this anime will make fun of losing Heroine trope like 100 GF made fun of Harem or Eminence made fun of Isekai. It's just too serious for it's own good and something which is easily forgettable.

And I will say again that the studio is a big part why everyone is watching this. If JC Staff adapted this with meagre budget, it wouldn't get this type of response. I feel no difference between this and 2.5D seduction, one has losing heroine trope other has Ecchi, character and story depth are shallow in both of these anime.

Not reading all that. I’m enjoying it. One of the better anime this season.
