Meganebu! isn't bad. What are you talking about? LOL oh you're a guy thats why

I wouldn't mind if this show had Meganebu!'s goofiness while still staying on the normal side.

Meganebu is very (!) bad. Boring if comparing even to typical slice of life about cute girls doing cute things. And characters development was really poor.

Will hope, this show be better.

It's not even a "true" slice of life though. I took it more like a comedy/gag show with a few tryhard SOL moments that are well done if you do like the show. There was no character development and it wasn't necessary to have it either. Sorry, I just feel like I have to defend this underrated series :/ Honestly, most people who give it low scores just don't resonate with the show or like the comedy. Boring is subjective btw. I found it more entertaining than a moe girl sol show but that's up to one's taste.

If you just watched the first episode of Meganebu you should've realized it was not a show to be taken seriously. I enjoyed it for what it was, it was kind of ridiculous and stupid but it was a pretty carefree anime to begin with. I usually get bored with slice of life so maybe thats why I ended up liking the quirkiness of Meganebu.

Anyway, I just watched the first episode of this anime, and I can't make any judgments off of one ep but it doesn't seem like Meganebu at all, and seems more slice of life. It seems like its just going to be about the formation of an idol group with light comedy.

I don't get the comparison to this show to Meganebu since both shows are in different backgrounds o.0

But I guess reception-wise, this show is becoming like Meganebu with not many people watching it and discussing abt it.

I enjoyed Meganebu but it's not one of my favourite shows. But even so, I also feel like defending it haha. I also agree that Meganebu is more entertaining than K-On! Season 2. I don't watch many moe girls shows so I can't comment on the relative entertainment value.

I don't get what are people's deal with character developments. A show doesn't need to have brilliant character developments to be considered good. Azumanga Daioh doesn't have those but a lot of ppl find it a good anime.

And if you want to talk about character development in Shounen Hollywood, I think there will be for people like Kakeru and Kira.

Yeah I agree with you.

I think Shounen Hollywood has a more concrete and interpersonal goal than Meganebu. The latter is more of a personal goal since

Not everything needs character development, especially not a show with no major conflict. People really need to learn this. After reading the synopsis, how would they develop? MC grows out of his glasses fetish?

I hope it will be like Meganebu, at least for me, I kind of miss that show. All I want is a bit boring slow-paced series about cute boys doing cute and weird things, and i don't want unnecessary and forced drama.

No i'm not. And what is so weird about it? I'm not saying Meganebu is a masterpiece but it was cute and quite enjoyable.

I love Meganebu and Cuticle Tantei Inaba! I found those series cute and funny!
But, even if it's still only ep2, Shounen Hollywood is much more slice of life than comedy! I feel it even more sad than funny, specially the shoes part... I don't think it can be compared with gag series like Meganebu or Inaba.

First of all, no...Diabolik was solely for pleasing its fans and new fans of otome. It's just screentime for some sadistic bishounen and not anything else. Meganebu! definitely tried to do bishounen (like most shows nowadays..) but it also had comedy, slice of life and plot which it did pretty well. It's not a masterpiece, but pretty damn good.

And he/she is not weird for wanting that. I really don't mind where Shounen Hollywood goes in terms of direction/atmosphere but it'd be great to see another goofy, fun series orientated for the girls to enjoy.

Yeah, while Meganebu definitely had its share of problems, it did have some comedy. I hated the guy with the dog, though. He was rather insufferable. And poor nise-megane didn't deserve all that hate.

This show seems really daft and far worse.It's pretty much just pandering to girls and I find it hard that any straight males will get the appeal. I already disliked it before, but right when that lead started saying how he hates girls complimenting and watching him I couldn't help but laugh and stop watching. He's the stuff of bad tumblr fanfiction.

If only there was an anime about golden Hollywood with normal characters. One can dream.

Watching this makes me want UtaPri to hurry up and come back, but I have to wait until next year.

I was excited for this show cause male idols again for a change, but I just can't get into it I'll give it until episode 6.

Actually, I have to disagree. This show might turn off girls too because it's more focused on character development and slice of life rather than "cute bishies in yo face". A lot of the MAL guys are praising it too, because it's very underrated. I'd like to see more fanservice but it will probably ruin the show.

I assume you've never been complimented or been run over just for your looks/talents before huh? if you've had one that is

Happens irl too. Just because you cant relate doesnt mean the rest of us can't.
