This anime is flipping awesome!
Sooo much fun, can't believe it's only been 4 episodes so far.
Ever since Porn/Stoya-GAF posted that link to Stoya reading literature (I'll let you google it since it's sort of NSFW, but not really unless you are a level 5 Mormon prude), I can never look at a Hitachi the same way again. lol
Yeah, OT-GAF, this thread included, really has corrupted my pure and innocent mind. lol
How terrible.
But in this case, I don't even think the female girl even cares about the guys!
I thought that all of the bros in BroCon were perving over the girl way more than the other way around, though.
I assume it's mutual, since she does the blushing thing all the time. I mean, part of the thing about shoujos is that it's the guy who does all the work while the girl just sits there to be wooed. It makes sense, because like male-centric harems, the idea is to create the impression that the girl (ie, the audience) is so perfect that she doesn't need to do anything to have guys get hot and bothered over her.
When you need a goddamn tank to even start practicing for a sport it's a bit expected that there'd be some consolidation of people able to gain access to it.
My parents were reticent to buy me a trumpet when I was a kid because they were afraid I'd stop bothering to play it after a year and the money they spent on it would be a waste. It's like, if your firstborn pesters you into picking up a lightly-used panzer for them you're probably only going to be able to rationalize that shit by assuming that all your kids are going to be using it to learn to tank like a boss, and then set about making a few more kiddos than you'd originally planned just to try to get the economies of scale to start working in your favor.
Most sports are dependent on athletic abilities, forming a tank commander dynasty wouldn't have any such worries.
Well, I mean, wouldn't Schumacher's kids be the best F1 drivers?
Of course, this is a Japanese story and in Japan, the idea of filial piety and being forced to do what your father did is just part of the culture (which is why you have 10th generation mochi and wine makers in Ise, as Katsura Sunshine has shown us! Not to mention Jiro and his kids lol), so the whole idea of creating a family of martial artists isn't really a foreign idea... but outside of Asia and this incessant need to obey your parents, there really isn't that much of a pressure to have family dynasties.
Yeah, there are exceptions of course - Bob Dylan's son is also a musician, and you have lots of actor's kids coming up through the industry machine now (hi Jaden Smith), but there's no guarantee that Bill Gates' kids will take over Microsoft one day.
