Charlotte x Laura S2 01
So yeah, this is basically all I'm interested in this show for. Ichika continues to be one of the worst harem MCs ever, don't know what they see in the fuckwit, but isn't that how it always goes.
Come on, isn't he lovably hopeless? I mean, Ichika redefines "useless harem MC"; it's like a bad parody of the worst of the genre, and that's one reason why the series is "good".
Doesn't matter though, as the show has made perfectly clear who the real OTP is.
Well, that is true... I hope we get a lot more Char x Laura as the series continues.
I forgot what they translated "Ichika no echiiii~~~~" to, but I know it wasn't what I expected!
That is just not right...
IS has it locked up after the cat pajama scene. I have the combined voting power of cajun and firehawk behind me!!
As I said in my review, I'm hoping for at least one episode that matches the amazing quality of episode 9 of the original series. Or episode 11. I only hope that they can manage it.
As for that, though, yeah, the yuri-baiting was certainly the highlight of the episode by far.
The MC is INCREDIBLY dense. Its pretty awe inspiring how stupid he actually is.
Indeed. Watching him tell all of the girls he wanted to go to the festival with them, while leaving out that he was inviting the others too... it was a slow-motion, blatantly obvious joke, as I said, but it was funny anyway, when it ended exactly as expected. :lol
Andromeda was a great show.
IS is the most important anime of the year and must be treated with respect!
Well... yeah, it is, isn't it. I only hope that the staff know how important it is that they get things just right...
IS guy is literally an empty cipher with no attributes, qualities, or personal history beyond having a sister. He is no worse than your typical harem protagonist, but the tabula rasa of his personality and identity also makes him the best harem protagonist.
Kirito, on the other hand, embodies the worst aspects of otaku culture and is rewarded for it by having a sister who wants to fuck him.
Hey, by having almost no discernible personality, Ichika stands above characters who have bad or unlikeable personalities; he doesn't ruin the series by existing, unlike, say, the guy from Maken-Ki, or Shirou. No personality is better than a bad one.
Well, Ichika does have a few traits of note, I guess... you know, he's a great waifu -- he's good at both cooking AND cleaning! He's otherwise blandly average -- doesn't like studying but isn't the worst student, etc. Straight middle of the road, apart from his
IS ability and harem of girls who have no business liking such a person.
IS guy is just totally incompetent. In every way.
He's totally incompetent at relationships, but his fighting ability is average at least... and he also has that protagonist determination he needs to implausibly save the day (and defeat the main villain) every time at the end, of course. I mean, these girls may be strong, but he's a guy, so the sexist rules of anime (and, even worse, harem anime) say he gets precedence.
I mean, this is stating the very obvious, but in harem animes with action about a guy surrounded by girls, the guy ends up saving the girls. But in harem animes with action about a girl surrounded by guys? The guys still usually save the girl.
But if you're going to use that logic, then the best harem protagonist is a nonexistent one. Which isn't wrong, but it would still mean IS guy is not the best.
But doesn't everyone know that this is true? That is definitely not wrong. It's right: the best harem protagonist is a nonexistent one.
An easy example, of course, would be Koihime Musou... getting rid of the games' harem protagonist in the animes was a brilliant idea that worked fantastically!
