is this some kind of female power fantasy?
>severely obese otaku girl who loves BL
>Is strangely connected to all the "hot guys" at her school.
>doesnt show up to school for a week and somehow drops like over half her body weight and is hot now.strangely I actually like it
Can't fix the awful voice. She sounded better when she was fat.
no one else watch at least the first episode? hmm I guess just let the thread die then.
They should've made her disappear for a few months instead. Losing weight that rapidly in a week would mean that she'd have all this excess loose skin because the body can't adapt fast enough with the tightening of the skin when it happens so suddenly.
Other than that, the show was alright, minus the butch dyke.
>>149414328
(you)
Sounds like a fun show OP. Sounds familiar too. Reminds me of a certain shindol story.
>>149414487
>self-improvement
Completely pointless because they'll still be 3dpd.
>>149414213
It's a comedy, it's not that serious. Most girls are going to read it for laughs and qts, not because they're genuinely looking for a 'power fantasy'.
I find it funny how there is surprisingly little actual fujoshit/yaoibait.
And it's a power fantasy in the same way male<-female harems are I guess?
>>149414487
It ain't teaching shit because she lost the weight by fucking magic.
>>149414503
>3dpd.
meme poster should hang themself
>>149414544
Subhumans like yourself deserve to be concentrated in camps.
Your first reverse harem?
>>149414543
If they wanted to take the realistic route it would've taken 20 volumes just for her to lose weight.
The point is fatasses don't get to attract hot bishies.
>>149414543
>ecause she lost the weight by fucking magic.
a week without food full and anxiety, not magic
>>149414575
She attracted a bishie, but he's best guy and won't win.
It's haremshit. Do you really need any other reason?
>>149414595
The checklist for shoujo is being older, protective and be a borderline rapist, if he fits the description he'll win.
>>149414425
>butch dyke
>but she's the best man
>>149414627
>english title
>is no one else watching this?
OP must be new here.
Once again, why does her voice change when she becomes fat?
Either the voice director or the director have some very strange idea on how people should sound like.
I suppose I should at least be thankful they didn't give bizarre direction to Sawashiro.
>>149414328
>Can't fix the awful voice. She sounded better when she was fat
>>149414544
You clearly are a newfag.
I love it!
>>149414328
>>149414595
He also asked her out only after she lost weight.
>>149416201
Fat people in anime talk like they have blocked windpipes. Why? It's hilarious, like fat people.
>>149416592
That makes no sense since they are not trying to show her as a goofy side character but rather that she's still the same person as before.
Overall I feel KobaYuu's performance has been rather disappointing even when Kae is not fat(except when she's in crazy mode where KobaYuu always shines). Most likely not her fault since she's probably told to make up that weird voice.
Toward yuri end we go!
>>149416792
Amnesia, Diabolic lovers
>>149416792watch saekano backwards
>>149416803
But she is a goofy side character who just happened to fall into a lead otome role for no reason.
>>149414360
/m/ did, one pointed out a cameo by Reina from Gundam Age at that convention
>>149416792
Pretear, anyone that says Fruits Basket should be ignored since that was terrible
Please kill the boys (Except for senpai who is clueless) they are nothing but trash.
Anyone else thinks Shimina seems more bi than full lesbo? She does seem interested in boy love too.
Is this somehow comedy which guy can watch or just plain show for girls with handsome guys for the sake of being handsome?
>>149419516
The former.
>>149419516
I tried it when it was first airing and was turned off quickly, but i came back a few days ago and im enjoying it. way funner then i would have thought and the main girl is cute. I do feel weird though since she is a self confessed "Fujoshi" so there is a focus on that part as well.
>>149419516
Definitely the former, I expected generic otometrash but it ended up being so funny I picked the manga up too.
>>149419516
It's a comedy with a fujo so expect cute boys.
The praying at Shions alta gave me a good giggle.
>>149414593
She lost at least 100 pounds in a week, anon
>>149414213
>female power fantasy
Are harems male power fantasies? Really makes you think.
>>149419811
Well, yes.
>Is strangely connected to all the "hot guys" at her school.
Nothing strange about that. Anyone can seem hot if you're slutty enough, so all you need to do is horn in on the people you already know.
>>149414213
>actually asking if a reverse harem is a female power fantasy
>>149419811
Heh.
>>149414425
in the manga they're all aware of how strangely fast she gains/loses weight
>>149419811
Most male harem leads have absolutely no power. If anything, they're "be a passive shit and vagina fall onto your lap" fantasies.
Contingent for something to be called a power fantasy is for the person whose life is being idealized to have a great deal of agency and affect on the world around them. It only steps into that territory when you enter the realm of battleharems, where gary stu protagonists wield in-born superiority to beat all the bad guys and save their haremites from tragic backstories
>>149419657
You can't fool me, that's a girl
>>149416792
Kamigami no Asobi.
>>149419398
Fruits Basket would have been alright if you removed the MC or replaced her with one of her vastly more interesting friends.
>>149420161
Pretty much this. Same applies to reverse harems.
No one could seriously call diabolik lovers a female power fantasy.
>>149421000
It's a princess(male)
>>149416792
Hakuouki? I mean, if you can stomach the MC, the anime is decent.
This is the result!
>>149414213
The point is meant to be that she's a shitty heroine thrown into a literal otome game.
She just wants to be an otaku and have her fujo delusion, but those faggots keep making advances on her.
>>149416792
start with the classics
>>149421652
>go Clark go

>>149414213
>is this some kind of female power fantasy?
It's called Shoujo.
>>149421129
She's there to allow every other character to shine. It's her purpose, and the reason why she's boring as shit.
>>149414213
>using the crunchyroll title
yup, this place is kill
>>149416848
Watching a yaoi themed shoujo romance for the yuri is my aesthetic
>>149421652
Impressive!
>>149419435
>seem interested
She's a doujinshi that produced a lot of quality art of a series that primarily targets fujo.
Did Shion lose some weight?
>>149423927
No, he died. His body started to decompose.
Shima > Kouhai > Igarashi > Nana > Senpai
>>149414520
>I find it funny how there is surprisingly little actual fujoshit/yaoibait.
>we saw two girls kissing
>boys kissing was censored
on the other hand, Keijo of all things gave us boys kissing, but also supersonic scissoring.
What I never understood is why is female centric shows, when a cute guy or cute situation happens theres always flowers and sparkles and all that.
I want that cliché to die.
>>149424225
Girls love that shit.
>>149423927qrE3TInqs
>>149419435
Nope, I know many fujos and even when some of them are actually lesbians, they love the yaweez for some reason. That's the power of 2D I guess:
>>149424225
I think the idea is using negative space in a shot to convey something about the feelings or emotions of the characters via connotative imagery. The sparkles, bubbles or what have you are supposed to represent what a character is feeling, and having that feeling articulated by some sort of blatant imagery like that makes it more tangible, hell, more tactile, than just seeing it on their face or hearing it through the sound of their voice and BGM. Connecting a feeling, which can be hard to articulate, into something tangible, like bubbles, helps make it more comprehensible.
>>149424225
I'm pretty sure the flowers started with some of the first shoujo manga inspired by vintage art from late XIX and early XX centuries. Since many older shoujo seem to be set in victorian times, where art noveau was a big deal. It just kept being part of the aesthetic as it kept going, since japanese people seem to accept the manga cliches more as a language at this point.
>>149424052
Sorry but the objective ranking is
Nishina>Senpai>*>Kouhai>>>7>shit>5
Anyone after the asterisk shouldn't win the Serinuma bowl.
>>149424225
End your life.
>>149424762
>wanting the boring gay senpai to win
>>149424762
>kouhai
>not second worst boy after nana
how dare you
>>149414213
It's wish fulfillment for fujoshits 100%.
>>149425014
I want Nishina to win but Senpai deserves to be happy too.
>>149414487
But western cartoons still have nice pretty girls who improve themselves all the time, so I still don't get what you're talking about.
>>149425042
Kouhai is a good boy but he belongs to the iguana. Nana is a jerk but at least he can be entertaining.
>>149414213
I feel like the anime lost the charm point of the Serinuma's design because the eyelashes and eyebrows are solid colors.
>>149425876
>>149425930
>>149424330
Her reaction faces tell otherwise, but whatever. Maybe bi but heavily favors girls?
>>149425062
I'm not exactly sure if you are aware how ironic this is, considering the show we're talking about.
>>149414213
>female power fantasy?
The only thing that would ever happen if there's someone like a female Kirito (and no not that trap bullshit) or female chessmaster who commands her pretty boys to do her bidding
What happened to Serinuma's friend?
She dissapeared through the whole episode.
We haven't see her in a while
>>149427271
She was the first character shown when Serinuma regained her weight though.
>>149414425
So this... is the power of bulmia and eating disorders...
>>149427407
Anorexia yeah, but bulimia actually maintains your weight, not lose it.
Just how gay is this show?
Ouran levels of gay?
>>149414213
I'm watching it for thelesbians
>>149419435
A lot of fujoshi are actually lesbians.
>>149425085
Senpai should just go gay, he didn't seem to mind licking a guy's ear.
I want senpai to be the best man at Serinuma and Nishina's wedding. He's the only true bro of the bunch anyways.
>>149427407
>>149427482
It's not to be taken seriously, keep your speculations out of it. You don't see Serinuma obsessing over food (other than liking chocolate) or exercising obsessively, so it's not fucking eating disorder.
>>149427653
>>149427760
I bet he'll turn out to be a fudanshi and just wanted to be best friends and talk yaoi shit with Serinuma.
I'm pretty sure Serinuma would be thrilled with a MMF bisexual encounter.
>>149421232
I wonder if they'll animate Princess Usamimi
>>149414487
>If this was a western cartoon she would find a convenient plot device to make them all fall in love with her while staying a whale
I've got bad news for you.

>>149421126
This is the only good choice since the female MC actually had a personality.

>>149424891
Good pic.
>>149434452
It's a comedy, don't try to apply real life logic to it. It's like that scene in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, he could break the rules of reality when it was funny.
>>149434575
Likewise, friend.
If you haven't watched Rose of Versailles, you should do so right now.
>>149427653
Senpai is a slutfor humanity
>>149424225
Because women, like birds, are attracted to small sparkly and glittery objects.

>>149438647

>HEEEEEEEEEEEYEAAAAHHHH
>>149414213
>Is strangely connected to all the "hot guys" at her school.
But they only care about her when she is thin, one of the "hot guys" was a bully
>>149440425
Which one?
They better end up together.
>>149440555
Blond haired guy in her class
>>149440425
The only hot guy she's connected to is senpai.
Kouhai is just a health committee member, bland-kun is being polite out of education and the blonde is just laughing at her.
>>149440736
Blasphemy, everyone knows 7x4 is endgame.
>>149440736
The best pairings are senpai with MC, 7x4 and the generic guy with the reverse trap.
>>149441356
These two are only good for intense hatesex.
>>149440859
Eh, he's just insensitive, it's not like he was specifically trying to hurt her feelings.

Maybe in this episode, I think it's Shinomiya overall because they're in the same year.
>>149441983It's not really him.
>>149441738What chapter is that from?
>>149442372
It's a page in the bonus mini-chapter at the end of chapter 34, there's also multiple mini-chapters continuing the story.

I love her
I hope she ends up falling for one of the guys and has her own arc or something, but considering what kind of show this is I seriously doubt it.

>>149433341

>>149419762
>doesnt show up to school for a week and somehow drops like over half her body weight and is hot now.
Sure thats totaly how it works. Science in this show is great. All jokes aside, loosing weight is hardwork and the more you loose the harder it gets and going from a chubby hambeast to a model like body in just 1week is logically impossible even if you starve urself. Starving on self is even more bad as it creates shitload of other problems.
>>149448542
come on anon, they're straight
I've read the manga and Igarashi isalright
>>149448669
He is kind of a creep because he is a bit stalkerish and overprotective.
>>149448669
Yeah same
I think my only problem with him is that all his development is centred on Serinuma and relationships so we don't know anything about his family life or who he is apart from the fact that he's good at soccer
>>149448763
That's the best kind of boy.
>>149448763
I still think he's better than 7 but Senpai, Shinomiya and Nishina are miles better.
The chapter in which 7 gets sick and while hallucinating assaults Kae is still the most out of place thing the manga has done, specially because they made Kae react relatively realistically to it.
>>149448763
so like everyone except senpai?
>>149448609
You run into the problem of Serinuma ruining the precious homo she covets if she gets with one of the guys. Once she realizes this, the yuri end is inevitable.
Now that Junko is getting the shoujo dough she'll never return to BL.
Best boy won't win.
Never ending suffering.
Yuri approved best ending...also the guys buttfucking each other in a train would be amazing but that's asking too much.
>>149448669
We exaggerate how bad he is here but he is pretty bland compared to the rest of the boys. And he doesn't like to play along as much so he is kind of the wet blanket of the group sometimes. Also what >>149448763 said.
>>149449047
I blame the curse of Hana Yori Dango for ruining shoujo forever. Thankfully that stuff isn't super prevalent in this series, if it were another shoujo manga he probably would have been fully conscious of it.
>>149449690
That's my biggest problem with him, all the others learned to be friends and have fun and he's the only one who's still trying to act all competitive and jerkish, even towards 7. I still think he could have been worse but he's still one of the worst boys though.
>>149449549
Why a train?
>>149449889
I don't think he means the kind of train that goes places.
>>149450344Oh.
>>149449784
Yeah, I don't think he's a bad boy per se, especially when you compare him to the average shoujo love interest these days, but he's the serious guy in a comedy and it just feels like the other guys have a lot more going on. Too bad he's probably gonna win though.
>>149449690
>Hana Yori Dango
Never read this, but is this the thing that popularized love interest being assholes?
>>149451231
Yes
Huh.
And I had Assumed this was Fujo-baited Yaoi BL Garbage.
>>149451231
Pretty much. I wouldn't say it's the sole reason shoujo has gone to shit but it certainly had a huge impact and since then it feels like the inclusion of weird domestic abuse shit and sexual assault has trended upwards and I hate it. There's exceptions but generally it's pretty hard to escape that stuff and it feels like unique settings and premises have become rarer too.
So it's a reverse harem dealie
Who is best boy?
>>149451852
Mutsum-senpai and Nishina, the rest is good for abuse doujins.
>>149451510
Little did you know it was fujo-bait yaoi AND yuri garbage.
>>149451630
Different guy but can you think of any other manga that started this? I've tried getting into Shoujo before and it startles me how scummy the LIs are most of the time. There's a line between being cheeky and being a huge fucking asshole and so many shoujo manga hurl themselves across that line.
>>149451852
As always the gay option is the best
>>149451231
>>149451630
Curly boy wasn't even handsome, Rui should have won.
>>149451852
The Kouhai is the cutest.
but the reverse trap is best.
>>149451952
>>149452018
Kouhai liked her before she became pretty
Reverse Trap don't got that
>>149452094
I think you're mixing the characters
>>149414544
Ladies first.
>>149452094
Kouhai and Nana are the only characters who don't like fat Kae
>>149451852
Opinion seems to be tied between Nishina and Senpai. Kouhai for a fap. I'm sure 7 has some fans too.
>>149451923
Depends on what you're looking for. I've stopped reading stuff without a premise beyond just adolescent romance (comedies are an exception) which is what most people seem to read shoujo for so I don't know if I could be much help. But you can't go wrong with the classics in my opinion, although some of them are better in anime format, Oniisama e and the second half of Rose of Versailles were directed by Osamu Dezaki who is basically a legend.
>>149452094
It's the opposite though?
>>149452356
Oniisama e anime made me like the hetshit a bit more than the manga. At least Takashi/Mariko. Manga Takashi was your typical arrogant asshole taming the manhating girl while anime Takashi was rewritten into a genuinely good guy.
>>149452481
Felt the same way about Andre in Rose of Versailles. It's been so long that I can't even remember what put me off about him in the manga but I remember that he seemed more likable in the anime and I actually felt for their relationship.
>>149452718
The context of the sex scene was completely different in the manga and the anime.
>>149452718
Holy shit, that ad.
>>149452777
That was probably it. I think he may have felt better developed or something too though, like one of the benefits of the anime coming so long after the manga was that they knew from the beginning where the direction of the story would go so they could set things up at the start but the manga was originally going to be the Marie Antoinette Power Hour until it evolved. But my memory of it is hazy at this point, I could be talking out of my ass.
I saw the title and description and noped the fuck out early in the season, but this was actually pretty good, will continue watching.
It's about as gay as I thought it would be, and I'm pleasantly surprised I enjoy the show anyway.
>>149453574
Comedy is the magic genre where any premise can work as long as it's funny.
Why is senpai so best?
>>149455964
He's so pure that he thinks licking someone's ear or sniffing their collar is normal.
>>149455964
He's actually chill as fuck too, and not even conceited about it. The literal smoothest moves, and he either doesn't even realize or is such a god-mode seduction machine that he plays it all off as natural.
He's pretty based all around.
>>149452881
They shot it too, the absolute madmen.
>>149455964
He genuinely has fun and wants to be friends with everyone. Also he doesn't treat the whole thing with Kae like a competition or treats everyone like rivals.
Too bad he's most likely to lose.
>>149451630
>it feels like the inclusion of weird domestic abuse shit and sexual assault has trended upwards and I hate it
I think there's not enough of it in shoujo. Most shoujo I see is too vanilla to include that sort of thing outside of magazines like Cheese.
Why don't the guys think of getting fat so they can match her?
>>149456853
Send that shit my way then, it feels like every time I try to check out new stuff it pops up and I have to drop it.
>>149414213
Shoujo series like this one don't take themselves seriously enough to be a power fantasy.
Some reverse harems do though.
>>149450344
Well those train go places too. Just not geographically.
>>149457004
That kind of thing seems to differ by magazine. Most of the series I read in Dessert, for example, have pretty sensitive guys who aren't sexually aggressive. But I think a lot of those don't get scanlated.
My taste is for maledom and abusive male leads, and I don't often find het series that fit the bill.
>>149447995
Yeah I don't see that happening here, but maybe long game in the manga I could see her land with Igarashi.
Funniest scene
>>149414425
Maybe she didn't actually lose all that weight but her internal perception changed that much in a week(because she did lose some weight).
>terror intensifies
>>149420161
>If anything, they're "be a passive shit and vagina fall onto your lap" fantasies
For me that's more of a power fantasy than everything else, because that means you could have the dick/pussy just for the solely reason of existing, even when you are doing nothing to deserve it.
>>149458856
Careful there, it's the reason a lot of anons are still breathing right now.
Don't want to spike up suicide rates in here any higher, do we?
>>149458686
but everyone else sees her as being thin also. so is she just delusional?
Senpai is simply the best even if he was a girl. Nishina is pretty good as well and I welcome a true otp3. The rest can watch if they wanted.
>>149459977
Keep dreaming
>>149460757
Oh I know worst boy will win they always do.
>>149460796
How reverse harem shows did you watch until now?
Also the reason sempai is gonna loose is that he is that type of guy who sooner or later stops fighting for the girl and just be happy with all his new friends.
>>149419404
This is a yuri free zone.
