Dagashi Kashi is the most diabolical vehicle of product placement

I wonder if Hotaru's character was created as a response to the weirdness of seeing Rei and Asuka from Evangelion used as product mascots in Japan. Hotaru's in-universe personality is to shill to the fullest possible extent of a product's marketing pitch and to be a manic acolyte for its company. It's IN-CHARACTER for Hotaru to be an advertising canvas. On DeviantArt I’ve seen Hotaru fan art depicting her with real-world products which don't even appear in the anime because: "it fits her character to shill anything".


I’m terrified how completely okay I am with it all though… I tell myself: “Hey… it’s still amusing a cute character is hysterically shilling real-world products… right...?” “Hey, unironic product placement is counter-cultural and artistically poignant right?” Product placement is being crammed down my throat but the fan-service is just so damn delectable where I’m perfectly fine in being pandered to. Say whatever insulting things about my intelligence or my tastes you want: the creators of the show knew exactly what I wanted to see and dog-whistled me in all the right ways. I’ll never say I'm “too grown-up” or “too mature” to not be infatuated with a beautifully designed fictional anime girl (albeit an original design) with an idealized appearance, a hyper-passionate/maniacal (but also charming) demeanor, decked in a pseudo-secretary getup (with pantyhose and not stockings, infinitely improving the fan-service), complete with a plain-and-simple set of overtly large breasts to reel in the red-blooded pre-teen in me (there I said it).


I just hope I don’t start reciting the slogans to some of these Japanese snacks when I’m sleepwalking at night.

It's honestly not a great a show. It's more just an interesting study in how a clever studio can use an irresistible character design to blatantly deliver some of the most concentrated product placement the world has ever seen yet still remain completely inoffensive and defensible.

It's catered to pre-adolescent teenagers and it advertises products with such a straight-face and in such plain-sight where you'll probably tacitly accept the show's "ironic real-world references" as something you cherish instead of acknowledging it as the most innovative (and diabolical) method of shoveling product placement down your throat.

That being said. I just can't resist Hotaru's sensational design. Ramune Corporation Ltd: I happily accept learning your company's history so long as Hotaru is your speaker. It turns out you really can get my eyes and ears on anything--even advertisements--as long as you package it in fanservice which hits the bullseye of what I find tasteful.

Lord deliver me from this.

What's amazing is how non-descript and abstract that whistle candy is (contextually speaking).

You can practically imagine a plethora of god-awful vulgar things happening to Hotaru in those shots.

Good lord is Hotaru the godsend of all things softcore and imaginative. She's instantly in my top favorite all-time characters and she's practically brand new to me (I only pay attention to a series when an anime is up, crucify me all you will but I like my Japanese cartoons to be animated and voiced).

Either way, sign me up for Hotaru completely. Not gonna miss any other character and no regrets.

She only eats candy all day, yet she's neither fat nor showing any sign of teeth decay (every time we see her teeth, they're perfectly white and flawless). This, combined with the fact that her father is filthy stinking rich, implies she's some genetically engineered übermensch with a superior digestive system. Also, notice what Kokonatsu thinks when he first meets Hotaru: she looks like she stepped straight out of a manga. That kind of perfection is not natural, it means humans tampered with her.

Friendly reminder on how pantyhose works for anyone who says Hotaru's wearing stockings underneath (or over) her pantyhose.

There's only one other garment Hotaru wears below her waist (besides her sanctimonious panties of-course) and that's pantyhose. Beautiful, beautiful pantyhose.

>>149989622
I totally didn't mean it that way but wow what a neat parallel.

I honestly don't think Rei or Asuka visually look like psychopaths in the same way Hotaru and Saya's crazed-looking eyes (coupled with absurd facial expressions) are unmistakably freakish. Even psychologically, I'd say Rei isn't much of a psychopath as opposed to just being a damaged/abused husk of a person (though Asuka totally fits the bill for a psychopathic maniac).

I was remarking /a/ usually tends to gravitate toward the most awkward and freakish representations of characters which end up getting declared as /a/'s waifus and getting showered with fapthread after fapthread. You know, because /a/'s a real basket of normies after all.

Hell, there'd be no way to compare the pairing of Saya and Hotaru to the watershed coupling of the 90s/2000s Asuka/Rei waifu battles on forums. Though, Hotaru as a solo character packs a pretty serious punch with her design and the fanaticism in her fanbase (e.g. this thread). It's unprecedented how full doujinshis and hentai art for Hotaru sprung up overnight in a way which hasn't been seen before (it might be more a statement of the boom in active ero artists on the internet though).

>>149989821

Can an Anon not enjoy both the patrician and the simpler merits of beautiful animu waifus?

Sure, patrician tastes are bundled with Hotaru which I'm totally down with, but fite me if you're going call my taste garbage simply because at the end of the day I'm won over by something commonplace and familiar (yet welcome like an old friend) as a conspicuously large rack.

Amid all the patrician dealings, at my core: I'm a simple Anon and the creators knew exactly what I (and many others here) wanted. Can I truly be condemned?

If Hotaru's large-breasts-by-design are bait set out for a target market, then I couldn't more happily take the bait and be shamelessly pandered and marketed to.

>Why does she do things to my dick?
So you'll become obsessed with a delightful character and end up watching the show which is really a 20 minute long advertisement in anime-form for real-world Japanese corporate products.Hotaru was surgically designed for you to fall in love with and for you to be subsequently indoctrinated to purchase packaged foods from Japan in the real-world. If she's already doing things to your dick then that means it's already too late for you. You're a mere mortal with good tastes like the rest of us: helplessly drawn to Hotaru's irresistible charms despite possibly meaning we all end up being more suggestible to advertisements. We couldn't be more willing to comply with it all since it means we get glorious, glorious Hotaru fan-service at the end of the day.

Why does this sentence make me such diamonds?

Not intentionally.

>>149993425
Somewhere in that scenario you're describing is a place for a male to be used as a sexual instrument for some undefined purpose for Hotaru's goal of negging Saya's self-esteem.

Let it be on the record I fully sign up for whatever role a male would be utilized for by these characters for the purpose of Hotaru's psychologically sexual shaming of Saya.

Whatever that encounter actually ends up being... For some reason I want whatever part's available in there. No disrespect to Saya or Hotaru, I simply can't resist what has been done to my dick as a consequence of reading this scenario.

I want to titfuck Hotaru until I pass out.

>>149991884
>Why are her eyes like that?
Sugar rush. The main trio all have eyes that fit their themes, with Hotaru being appropriately crazy for a candy-obsessed maniac, Saya having needle-point eyes of a caffeine addict and Kokonotsu having the sleepless dead eyes of an overworking unpopular mangaka.

>>149993789
It'd be pretty humiliating for Saya to have to watch Hotaru envelop a mans hard member in her soft pillowy breasts

>>149988536

Not only that but she's a third-year student who apparently has no friends. I fear for her future since she's incompetent at magic and seems pretty dumb overall.

Even if it meant Hotaru wanted to time (with a stopwatch) how quickly your erection formed upon seeing their exposed chests one girl a time to "measure and compare sex appeal"?

No anon in this thread could survive the cloistering grasp of Hotaru's cleavage without submitting to an embarrassingly quick ejaculation not much later in time.

...A humiliation for Saya AND the male.

So... where do I sign up?

Hotaru is NOT someone you want to date for more than 2 weeks. She is NOT someone you want to grow old with. She will not age gracefully.

The only choice is Saya.

Yeah but it works better if you treat Hotaru's cleavage as mystically irresistible ;) I'm a proud Anon like yourself, but maybe it's fun to pretend being meek to build up Hotaru like a fable? I want to impress Hotaru as well.. but I'm also playing the part of her instrument with Saya... Perhaps you can imagine her cleavage shimmering with unspecified magical glitter of some kind (so it'll convince you of something supernatural).

It's there where the death-est grip-est of us all here will certainly meet an embarrassing exchange of glances with Hotaru when she unexpectedly feels a warm and wet emission on her breasts "within moments" of taking hold with her breasts.

"Didn't you come much too soon, now?" with a slight giggle from Hotaru.

>>149994818
Are you genuinely shaming my tastes or are you egging me on?

Because if it's the first, I regret nothing.

Even just a handful of years with such a miraculous rack is a life better lived than an eternity with Empress Mole Hills.

Hotaru can be my old hag and ruin my life. I'm perfectly prepared to accept this if it means even a single year with that magnificent cleavage.

Completely. Worth it.

>>149995305
She'd probably be fine though considering she leads a very active lifestyle. It's up to you to be able to keep up with her.

That was probably Tamai, Yoh's festifval rival/drinking buddy. The mang also introduced Hajime, an office lady either affiliated with or recommended by the pinstripe suited guy who owns the new convenience store across the street.

>>149995383
>It's up to you to be able to keep up with her.
Challenge accepted Hotaru-chan. For her, I'd become a rod of steel for any of her unwavering brutality.

Hotaru is really gone? And who is the new girl?

>>149995512
Hotaru will be back.

>>149995512

Hotaru left at the end of chapter 107 because it was nearing the end of summer and thus back to school for the both of them. It's been three months since then.

The new girl is an office lady named Hajime, presumably hired to keep watch over the dagashi shop while Kokonotsu is in school and Yoh is recovering from a broken leg in the hospital. As far as I know, she's either affiliated with or recommended by the dude who is running the new convenience store across from Shikada Dagashi.

Coconuts honestly pervs out way too much on Hotaru. Sure, she's busty but come-on Coconuts, tying her up for a blind tasting doesn't mean she secretly wants dick.

>>149995651
>>149995617
I'm glad she isn't completely gone. And the new girl looks cute.

I tried just now to see if I could make it through a page of Google Image search results of Hotaru without going diamonds.

The defense parties for the flat-chested have some amazing lines. But we all know nothing compares to the majesty of two melonous sacks of fat and tissue.

>>149995858
In the manga sometimes I think she really wants the coconuts.

>>149995934
On one hand I want Coconuts to be happy. On the other hand "muhh Hotaru".

Can't Coconuts just get with Saya and have it be implied that Hotaru is a nympho or something? :)

>>149995986
He's not interested in Saya like that. Shit, I think the new girl in the manga has a better shot at him.
