Eromanga-sensei, Kanojo mo Kanojo Recommendations
Both are apparently lowbrow series with highbrow appeal. They have this shared type of humour, the one which relies on the viewer laughing at the sheer stupidity of the situation. They start from the premise that the viewer is actually not taking everything at face value. They are jokes everyone was in on: the staff, the author, the editor, your average viewer. Everyone, but the many who possess an objectively superior taste in anime.
While Eromanga's production is really good, no caps, making the joke less obvious, Kanojo mo Kanojo's intentionally trashy at times, over the top OST and voice acting are a perfect match
for the humour on display. Two 'goated' subversive masterpieces for the cynics that value enjoyment and laughter over how the unadulterated views them.
Also, they both share some rather philosophical aspects regarding problematic media and the role offensive jokes have in society. (See. Yugoslavia's downfall, where the so-called racist jokes were the first to go down. That's a sign of tension regardless of whether the change is towards the greater good or not. I happen to believe that you become truly racist/a paedophile/a degenerate the moment you relinquish those jokes. The same goes for our series: the moment you cancel something like this, you refuse to acknowledge how stupid paedophilia, incest, racism and so on and so forth truly are. Treating them seriously will not fix the problem, it will, however, give hope to those fellas that are no longer the butt of the jokes)
Don't be the people that call Nabokov's Lolita a book for paedophiles.
