Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou Episode 6 Discussion

Panaru said:
I'd date Habara. Seems she's gotten all her craziness out early. Should be smooth sailing from here on.

Unlike those other two crazy bitches.

Btw, am I the only one who thinks that this series has misogynic tendencies? I have yet to see a single normal girl in this series. They're either depicted as crazy beasts or pathetic losers without boyfriends. And it's getting more apparent the more the series focuses on the girls.

Aren't the guys also "pathetic losers without girlfriends"? -_-'

I guess when you are used to watch in many series the guys always being pathetic and over-horny, looking for girlfriends while getting laughed as losers and rejected or being hit and called perverts while girls always seem too awesome and sexy for them, when you actually see a series where both are equals in their stupidity it seems like the girls aren't treated good enough.

I feel sorry for Habara.

This should be Daily Lives Of High School Girls. The girl skit at the end is much more interesting than the actual episode.

Somehow...each episode gets more and more boring. The only funny sequence was the "chain of stalkers" behind Tadakuni's little sister.

I think that girl was a little bit too excited to get her dog back. O_O

I actually really love the way the girls are portrayed. At first it did grate me a bit, but compared to every other anime in existence where the girls are either oversexualized or useless, defenseless weaklings which rely on men, I think this take on girls is refreshing and fun. As a violent woman myself, I love other violent, strong-willed women. And I think there's a good balance of many different kinds of non-typical female anime characters in this, I'm tired of the contrived average anime girl. Girls come in an infinite variety, and most of them are more like the girls in this anime than those in other anime. Of course none of the female characters are portrayed as some sort of "ideal" or even "normal" girl (because there's no such thing) but neither are any of the boys. Sometimes I do agree that the female characters are more eccentric than many of their male counterparts, but overall, I think the anime is quite fair with its gender portrayal and tends not to stereotype by gender (though it makes fun of many many stereotypes)

You've got a point there, it's good that Danshi Koukousei chooses a different approach on how to depict girls compared to all the moe or fanservice shows. I actually like the boys a lot because although they might act like idiots, they're still honourable and funny like the student council trio. And I think it'd be nice if the girl characters had a fraction of that depth, too. My problem is that the female characters are almost all the same. I wouldn't mind one or two strong females with a foul mouth (I usually like that character archetype), but this series has far too many of them (faceless sisters + faceless friends + faceless laughing dog girl + the two from the "HS girls are funky" sequence). Some of them might seem strong (blonde guy's sister), but they still bother when people point out their lack of boyfriends and turn into beasts - so it's just physical strength instead of inner strength. The only girls who seem to have distinct personalities are Tadakuni's coworker and the literature girl. But the literature girl hardly talks so that leaves the coworker as the only cool and likeable female character.

How can you not like Yuu Kobayashi's voice? It's sexy as hell.

Motoharu: You need to learn to say "No!". Swear you won't help people any more, got it?
Karasawa: No!

I feel that the humour is starting to lose it's effectiveness since it's quite obvious when a joke or skit's punchline is coming. That being said there were still some hilarious moments in this episode like mahou shounen Potter, the girl with the dog and Ringo and the cat noises. The moments I found the funniest were those that were just completely unexpected. And of course the fourth-wall breaking at the end: "We know it's Valentines day but please don't send chocolate to the characters".
