Kumamiko

My wife Machi is so cute.

I had such high hopes for this series, but it just gets worse and worse with every new episode.

It was going strong until the last 2 episodes especially the ending; but I imagine that has been discussed to death already. Still out of all shows this season I wasn't expecting to be disappointed by Kumamiko. Hell I was more satisfied with Mayoiga's ending than this.

All they had to do to give it the usual status quo end is have a post credit piece where Machi declares a few days later that she's changed her mind and is totally going to the city for reals... after more training.

I hope the second OVA is just 15 minutes of "Psyche! Totally a dream! Machi's fine!"
The first OVA is loli Machi crying over Natsu having to hibernate, by the way.

>>143292879

Social anxiety combined with bullying. She's grown up with only a handful of people around her so when she is in a situation where she is not only surrounded by people but strangers to she starts to break down. Then you have the shit Yoshio puts her through commonly and the result of that is Machi.

>>143281422
Wow Doga kobo that wasn't so hard, was it? Like if anything natsu's internal conflict with finding himself wishing she should fail gave the easiest way to patch it like that. Both characters grow, Machi is still spaghetti'ing but slowly progressing as a person with natsu learning how to be a supportive but not coddling figure.

what is the point of this anime
I buttclenched everytime

>>143278512
She did get a fucking happy ending. I'm so fucking sick and tired of you retarded normalfuckers saying the end was shit just because she didn't go to the city, lose her charm and become a dumb slut like every other city girl. In the end she is fucking happy, she's smiling and enjoying being where she belongs which is not in a city. Why would you want to be in a fucking city? What good has a city ever done for you? Fuck off normalfags.

But she sucks at country life too.
She can barely shop, barely farm, and barely self-maintain, and is completely dependent on everyone else.

did you even see the show? she's obviously broken, it's not at all a conscious choice.

>>143294515
Just because Machi hasn't found your idea of happiness in her current setting you think she will never find it. You just will never let Machi do what Machi wants. You know what, you're a Yoshio. Fuck you essentially.

>>143294271
>>143294405

I don't think the issue is about going to the city or becoming a "normalfag"

is more about coming to terms with her own personality. The way it ended it's as she had a complete breakdown, she never face reality she just took shelter in her mind in a child-like state.

It's way different than accepting city life wasnt meant for her.

way too creepy.

Machi just needed a sturdy boyfriend to be her pillar of strength and guide her or even just some fucking parents. Not a fucking talking bear or a psychopathic cousin who seems devoid of empathy

>>143294515
other than some mild schizophrenia she is your average 14 year old country girl

I get that Machi detested what Yoshio put her through, but overall I got the sense that what might have fucked her up are the villagers. I get the feeling that they were the ones instilled with this xenophobia towards city folk, and they inculcate the children with that too. Not to mention they are pretty backward-ass; they idolize a bear. Machi's social anxiety was probably a combination of the villager's collective fear of outsiders, Yoshio's aggressive tendencies to push her into uncomfortable situations, and Machi's own insecurity due to ignorance (being a miko, she is probably the one person that had the least time to look into city life, and Machi was too proud to ask Natsu for advice, and Natsu was too condescending and then started praising Machi's failures as success).

The last few moments were too hard to watch. Best episode was probably 1.

>>143294687

It hurts, man. It really hurts.

>>143294780

>>143294538
>Idea of happiness
Machi is effectively dead.
Her personality and ambitions as a 14 year old girl are gone. Locked deep into a pit of inner despair.

If your idea of happiness is being a 5 year old for the rest of your days, you might as well stop shitposting, go to Detroit, and become Tyrone's beaten gay cock sleeve.

>>143294770
Bear in mind sorry that Machi doesn't just like in a rural mountain village. She's isolated in a shack up the mountain, cut off even from the rest of the villagers and her own family. She sees other human beings outside of schooldays only occasionally when they drop off supplies or she has to hold a public ritual. She's literally as isolated and cut off from people as you could possibly be. She spends most of her life with her only company being a talking bear.

Her anxiety is pretty understandable given that. It must be only once in a blue moon that she steps on paved ground, let alone in the company of more than a dozen other human beings, and that's the only life she's ever known.

Not to mention the closest human adult to her is an aggressive rapist that doesn't understand the word "no" in any context.

Natsu has 10 more years at best. She won't even reach Christmas Cake age before being a isolated cave woman doomed to death.

Her soul and mind had been shattered by the people trying to "protect" her. Her "hapiness" is a coping mechanism to accept the fact she's the slave of her town's exoectations.

The author only had a problem with how much of a raging asshole Yoshio was.

Give her revenge against Yoshio and Natsu. After all the shit she went through in the whole show it would be perfect to just blow the load on the last one giving her one massive revenge.

>>143307809
Maybe because those other girls can at least go to a supermarket or any other kind of store without throwing a fit or breaking down. Machi was on her way but then >>143306144

I can't, because as scummy as he was at times at least he had the village in mind; which is more than what you could say for some of the villagers who seem almost indifferent to the fact that their village is a decade away from being destitute.

He forced a girl to do things she didn't want to and sexually harrassed her. In fact, he was too incompetent to use the actual village and villagers in order to "restore" it. The village and its villagers have no value, and this is evident since Yohsio can think of nothing more than turning Machi into the village Mascot.

>>143310552 this guy is right. Yoshio had good intentions, but that doesn't justify his actions. He is a scumbag that is too idiotic to either listen to reason, or what goes on around him (village has absolutely nothing going for it, education is lackluster, Yoshio can't even fuck the only other woman his age, etc).

>>143278512
Not possible, unless we're willing to change everything from the start, as it was Natsu that had been sabotaging Machi's effort to become a city girl. We need to go back and rewrite Natsu as a bear that wants her to go to the city, to be able to give her a happy ending.

>>143312397
>machi agreed to it time and time again
Because of immense pressure, yes. He himself said that he wanted to scrifice her for the village. The nigger new very well what he was doing to her, he just had no empathy at all.

>>143312397
They integrate into the fucking city, because their shit can't fly anymore. How stupid are you? I know you're just trying to stir shit up, but you don't even have remarks to justify why what Yoshio did wasn't wrong.

He was both morally, and intellectually wrong, and you can't disprove my points.

>>143310352
He's just completely unable to feel anything for other people.
Thankfully, that will get fixed once Hibiki brutally rapes him.

>>143313333
>>143313547
>>143313603

Sometimes sacrifices have to be made in order for things to continue being how they are. The fact of the matter is that machi needs the revitalization of the town despite how much she may think she's against it. Where and how would she live? She should've wised up and taken up the opportunity before her and done something for a change. The only reason nothing worked was because she kept freaking out about everything like a little bitch. Had she not given up and actually tried she could've have won and could've lived the life she allegedly wanted while also saving her village

But no

Yoshio did nothing wrong, and there's nothing to prove him wrong. Hell machi's entire life and the village she grew up in is the result of similar sacrifices that had to be made in the past. Otherwise she wouldn't be anything

>>143315846
I already did. Read again. All you are doing is saying what happened in the show, not defending why Yoshio isn't a piece of shit. Neither him, nor Machi, owe the village anything.

The village is shit. It's Yoshio's job to restore it. He was wrong to think this was feasible, and it is wrong to force a kid to do an adult's job. Yoshio is an ideas guy; he didn't do jack shit and wanted to hand his task to a child.

Again, you fucking imbecile: YOSHIO IS THE ONE THAT IS SUPPOSED TO RESTORE THE VILLAGE, NOT MACHI

>>143316185
>Neither him, nor Machi, owe the village anything.

Except you know, living there and working there for their livelyhood you nigger

machi gets to live rather comfortably off of the others there and had the opportunity to acquire a job (that many other kids do too by the way) but instead fucked it up. Yoshio didn't do a single thing wrong and instead worked his off for the sake of the others as well

Yoshio objectively did nothing wrong. His speech helped Machi see the error of her ways and get back on the stage, to which she received thunderous applause from the audience and admiration from her fellow idols. If Machi wasn't fucking retarded, she would have made huge strides in getting over her social anxiety, and would have made many new friends. Yoshio gave her all the tools she needed to succeed and become a better person, and she just shat all over herself.

>>143318151
Why are natsu's desires automatically less important than Machi's in your opinion?

>>143318232
Natsu will die before Machi's life is over, might as well make sure she doesn't die from ineptitude when you're not there.

>>143318232
When you love someone you'll think of their happiness.

>>143318389
Unless you're speaking about yourself the same could be said for both Machi and Natsu, making that a moot point.

>>143318232
It's not like going to the city is automatically a cure for ineptitude. In fact Natsu has tried acclimatising her to technology before the city nonsense even began and she just doesn't take to it at all.
Why should he suffer the last years of his short life isolated and alone because his partner fantasises about city life without even trying to attain it. She wouldn't even enter the store to buy things and made a massive ruckus when pushed to do so.
Being a special needs miko in the village better for everyone as the village needs its Miko and Machi needs handlers.

>>143318567

Machi's a child, children are just selfish in general. Natsu is a grown bear, he can think of others besides himself.

>>143319611

I don't see the issue, it is not like she was supposed to be immortal.

>>143319611
She's already more capable than most people for being able to cook

>>143319611
There's no reason to suspect this. Kumade will pay her way and she's essential to their village's secret worship. Further she gets on fine with the village and has all the skills required to live the way she had been. She's REALLY quite effective at it. While she's inadequeate at using rice cookers she's hypercometant at chopping wood and cooking traditionally.
As Natsu said, they use like fuck all energy anyway and most of that is him, besides.

>>143319611

My Lords, as per your instructions I have been investigating the origins of change on our Terra. My inquiries on Kumade village have been fruitful. It appears that our search has concluded. A particular specimen by the name Machi matches all initial requirements. Her lust for knowledge is unquenchable. Her latent abilities to connect to the warp are strong enough to manifest her own familiar. It appears that this demon has manifested itself with the villages origin story. Her current actions do not threaten the timeline of Terra however due to the inherent nature of Tzeentch this will require further study.

-Inquisitor Larry Ordo Chronos

Just because she is dumber than a bear doesn't mean she cannot be a happy person

is this show even worthwhile as a sort of twisted black comedy?

or is it just worthless

>>143324867
It's actually great. The response to the ending is mostly a joke/overreaction. The show is a damn fine SoL.

>>143324867
It's worth it if you can enjoy the suffering. Not that twisted of an ending if you can refrain from sperging out if it doesn't meet your expectations. If anything, I'd watch it for the ED alone.

>>143316895
Is it a surprise to you that 4chan is filled with victim-blamers?

Is this the new Evangelion?

>>143292890
nah dude, you read way too into it. She's just got misconceptions from not being around people. Its not mental illness, its just sheltered upbringing.
Yoshio fits that far better since he ignores the reaction of every character in the show. Machi doesn't even try to look at reality.

My ending is Natsu confessing to Machi that he never wants her to leave, and Machi realizing that if she left that she would have to leave Natsu so she promises to stay for him.
That would have been enough for most anons.

Be careful in applying your opinion and let it just be about this anime show and this show only. Feminist and SJWS always apply fictional situations to real life and believe they can be treated accordingly like an linear equation when in fact real life is like an non-linear equation and cannot quite understand why people get pissed off with them misinterpreting the situation and what is said at hand when it can mean many different things.

I hate it when people try and treat what you said in translation on what they watch about 6 months ago relying on a shitty shows and situations and believe it can be applied in real life with no questions asked.

There is no idol arc in the manga. She does not visit Sendai, imagine getting rocks thrown at her and get treated like shit by Yoshio. Those pages from the manga are two random pages where Machi has a nightmare, wakes up and Natsu comforts her basically. Why they picked those 2 pages for the ending of the anime I'll never know but the context surrounding the anime ending and those 2 manga pages is COMPLETELY different.

I wouldn't say they shit all over it. The first 3/4 of the show was true to the manga, mostly. They tried to fit a manga scene into their anime original scenario and it just made the situation worse because it makes Machi look like she has regressed even further instead of making progress.

>>143339855

The basic premise is that she's living in the middle of nowhere and wants to go to school in a big city. During the whole show she's trying to better herself by putting herself in situations that will get her used to the city and technology. The final 3 episodes has her break down, imagine a crowd of people are throwing rocks at her due to social anxiety, her guardian basically doesn't give a fuck about her (on top of bullying and sexually harassing her during the show too), she comes back from the whole experience completely regressing about wanting to go to the city and she no longer knows what any piece of technology is even though she should, her talking bear does nothing to support her but instead lets her give up because it suits him best.

And it's all an anime original ending, just to put the icing on the cake.

Oh right, it was the shilling episode.

Yeah that episode was pretty lame.

>that drop on episode 4
Was that the episode where Hibiki first showed up? This is actually fucking amazing. I think you can make a case study out of Kuma Miko's fall from grace.

At least it sold better than 1 frt, right?

I dropped this the 4th episode, thank god.
The product placement one where they go to the store hurt me on a spiritual level, but this ending seems like it would have killed me. Jesus christ.

Yes, actually it was mentioned in the threads how nips didn't like how violent was Hibiki in that episode and also it was the shilling episode for Shimamura (Shimamura was it?).

It should, we'll see in two days.
