"Kitagawa-san must really love... fried rice." LOL... that was a cute remark. Though I doubt even a Japanese kid raised in a traditional environment still wouldn't have known of omurice.

The thing that still really bugs me with this story, Marin's attraction to Wakana still seems really fake, to me.
I do believe that she loves him in the context of the story, but it's just very unbelievable in the sense that this would never happen IRL.

NEVER!
NEVER NEVER EVER!

These stories of recent years are odd. It looks like a bunch of Japanese incels just pour in their fantasies - in particular those about gyaru - and project it for Japan and the whole world to see.
But any guy above 25 should know better that it doesn't really work like that in the real world.


Yes teenagers falling in love is really unrealistic.

Come on, guys. Stop lying to yourselves. If you're above 20 you have no excuse believing this nonsense.

Sure, you can still enjoy it - I enjoy it as fiction - but don't kill the messenger for pointing the BS.

What can be said, I saw the Red Flags in episode 5 and episode 6+7 followed suite of just having "redundant tropes".

Gojou is a pu$$y and Marin has a crush for him...

Hopefully after episode 8, they'll have stopped wasting screen time on rehashing the boy/girl crush trope and get back into the cosplay stuff and the challenges and situations with that.

This anime was a short lived favorite, that after episode 4, lost all meaning to what they were doing.

There's an anime about "paintball sports" that's better than this.

Even fiction has to be believable. I guess this story passes as “believable enough” (for some), but not for me.

I didn’t have high expectations for this story at all. I was just sucked into it because the internet has been making a humungous deal out of it.

Usually I like the stories that cause controversy like KanoKari or HigeHiro. But here, everyone and their mother just simping for Marin to the point it’s embarrassing…

Sounds to me like you live a very sheltered life with strong preconceived notions, then. I knew one girl in my student years who was not a gal like Marin, but with comparable positivity and energy and model-like attractiveness, who got together with her husband over their fantasy role playing hobby. Her eventual husband was a slightly NEET-like guy with looks worse than Gojo and nothing particular going for him other than that he was a fantastic GM.

Do linkups like this happen often? No, certainly not. But "NEVER NEVER EVER!!" - certainly wrong, too. They do exist, as rare as they are.

I didn’t have high expectations for this story at all. I was just sucked into it because the internet has been making a humungous deal out of it.


And this is why you feel like incorrectly evangelizing against this fictional story?

The point of the show is that it delivers a wholesome enjoyable fantasy for interested viewers. Which it is definitely delivering on.

Alright, continuing with Juju 'arc' trying to get the best cosplay she's ever done, the gang decided to share the rent cost studio together. Sounds like a nice deal, but deym Juju, your face there as flat as your boob.

Talk about boob, holy cow, Marin what the heck? You had no bra and its suddenly feels like its blew up, making poor Gojo-kun in such a dilemma seeing the sight of the bust point. Whats worst that, she's not even care about the change of booba, but to the freakin eyes. Deym, girl. But at least there's a nice informasi of her, she's using a freakin colored eyes contact. Tyvm for the useful scene, anime.

Alright, next, home date. Fuck, yeah, but i still can't get used of Marin melted mode around Gojo-kun. I mean, she's cute and 'understandable', but still, that's look weirdge af xd. While the poor dude after knowing how nerd Marin room was, he's back to his normal again. Yeah, totally normal, my dude. At least once again there's something i learn from those scene; Marin, love, fried rice xd.

Whats next? Deym Juju-sama again. Alright even her pantsu won't let slipped through this episode. Thanks, appreciated. Once again there's something i learn from their conversation. Never expect this episode will hold such a huge amount of lesson. Even Gojo-kun new activities to goofing around together with Marin actually helped him improve his skills to create the best bisque doll in the world ever. Then, talk about huge amount, sheesh.

Even my dude just straight looking at the most huge amount that serve in front of him, even though its almost embarassed him with the recurring Marin misunderstanding. So, without a further ado, i think i am overly write this shit, so lets just see what happen next....

Plain: It's an anime, unless otherwise stated by characters plainness is ambiguous.
He's also rather tall and seems to have a normal physique.

Dweeb: She's literally a weeb.

No social skills: He actually has social skills, otherwise he couldn't run his families store and interact with customers.

He is also interested in her hobby, supports it directly, even enables it and has a hobby which is rather similar.

He's not some weirdo with glasses who just happens to magically attract a harem of good looking girls.
He doesn't even have a harem nor will he have one.

Oh boy Gojou is finally at Marin's house, and what did he find.....a room full of otaku merch and the girl having her real eye colors....seems legit.

Looks like Gojou is now working on Marin and Sanju's cosplay, and to find an answer you must first research. Our boy is at hardcore mode as usual, going as far as to watch a 126 episode worth of a series, even that dedication has left me for years now.

And I just want to point out that the level of dedication put in by CloverWorks to make a fictional anime inside an anime with 2000's cel animation on the nostalgic 4:3 ratio in the year of 2022 is such an achievement man. Can't say anything more than this, I love this anime.

Yea, well ;) ... even if we assume short 10m episodes, this would mean 1260 mins or 21 hours. Quite some home date that would be... powerbinging!

Also points for the Toya and Yukito reference.

Exactly! I think a lot of people are also ignoring a major factor here: Gojo-kun is a total catch and people are dismissing the whole aspect of his freaking character

Marin, and really anyone can be attracted to people for any number of reasons, not just looks... Gojo has not only been so sweet to her he also has been there for her, shared in her interests, listened to her, and appreciated what she had to say. He played the games, he didn't dismiss her weebness, and he genuinely CARES. Shes alluded to having to be VERY independent (absent parents) so I can see why shes attracted to someone who is giving her genuine attention and care. She mentioned that her friends all hear her but don't really indulge with her (they never played her games or watched her shows).

This is a HUGE factor in compatibility/attraction. Sure he is a loner, but she is too (just a social one).

But here I am trying to apply logic to an anime, a category of media where people get hit by buses and wake up in RPG worlds or where your dad turns your mom into a giant robot...

The joke is the same people would whine if Gojo was the star Baseball/Basketball/whatever Captain with the good looking gyaru/gal girlfriend.

Then he'd be the jock that reminds them of their time in school while they didn't have a chance.


The hate this Anime gets is pretty absurd.
What's next, are people going to realise that not every single "weeb" lives in their parents basement and whose looks make the plants wither away?
That a character like Marin might actually be relateable to quite some female fans?

I'm 1,78 cm tall.

My eldest sister is 1,51 cm tall.

And my little sister is 1,70 tall.

It's possible to have different heights between siblings, esp if the gene's come in.

As expected, this was another great and wholesome episode. =)

I hope we get to see more of Marin in her casual clothes at home, as her loose top and tiny shorts looked really hot on her. Gojo noticed she wasn't wearing a bra almost immediately, in which she naively dismissed later on after realising that fact herself. XD

I also like how the magical girl anime has that authentic feel of an early 2000's anime, with the 4:3 aspect and animation style for the characters. It was really impressive and it was enough to make Gojo cry as well.

Sanju's the next girl to be seriously impressed by Gojo's attention to detail with the outfit that he's making for her while they both had a video call between each other (where, once again, Sanju's casual outfit here of a loose top and briefs looks sexy =3) she advised him to invest in getting a camera and agreed to meet him with her "little" sister so that he could get to know how a camera works. No surprise that her little sister is a lot taller, and bustier, than she is.

I'm really surprised that none of the fellow manga readers have mentioned that the studio really went ham in adapting the magical girl show: there's so much more of it in the anime that wasn't in the manga! I really like how they managed to nail that early 2000's to 90's anime look of it! And the references to Cardcaptor Sakura are really funny.

Gojo is so sweet, I'm so sad that the studio just doesn't really put much effort into animating him. Like, Marin gets all these cute little actions and sparkles, and yet Gojo barely moves in each scene, and rarely even has shaded cheeks like the rest of the cast. Shame man, he's best boy for sure.

Yeah every love story should be basic as high school musical =)). It quite convince about Marin crush on Gojo bcs he have talent and treat her hobbie seriouly.

I dont know how to reply. Maybe using quote?
This is to Tomaenji about "wuv him".

Meening is the same as to love someone or something.

It is like it is cute when children can't pronounce a word correctly.
So, she makes "suki" sounds cuter "syuki" on purpose.
And if people use syuki, they are generally thought of as they are into anime, game, manga, or even hentai. Because syuki is sometimes used in them to make a character cuter.

I don't know if I could answer to your Q. And I'm Japanese so not good at English enough. But I hope you understand.

I would like to know who might use "I wuv" or when it might be used.
Do people say it in general? or might be the same idea, like children possiblly say it?
If anyone could answer, I would be grateful.

Marin's room was full of posters and an hug pillow, I was seriously shocked, but her furniture looked nice lol. They are great as couple only Gojou has to notice her feelings sometime.

Overall a cute episode, I don't feel the need for other female characters, but I understand that introducing new characters is normal for anime and manga.

Work smarter not harder is the theme for this episode considering Gojo could have spent a lot of effort taking the anime dvds home and watching it bored out of his mind. Now he is encouraged since he's staying over at Marin's place for a home date watching the anime.

The accuracy of the anime Gojo and Marin watched LOL it even had the 4:3 aspect ratio and washed out colors.

Looks like Juju will be here to stay especially since the team will be doing a 'group' cosplay session in studio. I'm also liking the shift to having exaggerated moe facial expressions; It just completes the light hearted comedy better that way
