Hey, I didn't even finish watching it!
(Got too drunk circa episode 7 🥴)
TBH I expected it to be way more entertaining than it turned out — maybe I set the bar too high or maybe I've been watching too many school club comedies like that and built a certain tolerance for them.
The highlight for me is the absolutely adorable main character 😍 (not the deer girl) — which is rare for a "straight" comedic character. All other characters are cute, but still rather annoying 😩
>I expected it to be way more entertaining than it turned out
because it wasn't, the theme song was a hype vehicle and that was mostly it
>adorable main character
haha funny kositan

I'm not exactly new to Japanese cartoons, but I still don't get how this could be a factor of show's popularity…
Well, on the other hand, some shows produce hundreds of memes and those posting them have never seen a single episode 😅
@romin
Yeah, that's why I usually wait for the hype to die out before watching and sometimes hyped-up show turns out really good: TBH I expected Bocchi to be much worse and ended up loving it!
But sometimes the show turns out just okay — there are no rules here.
@romin
Could very well be the case, but as I wasn't familiar with original material — I wasn't disappointed.
It could probably be even better, but it didn't turn out "meh" either.
Wait, did we already have this conversation? Except I was on my own instance 🤔
@grips
She's good — despite me not being a fan of this type of characters.
But I'm usually not a fan of "straight" comedic characters either. Who remembers Natsuki from Kitakubu Katsudou Kiroku? Not me!
In Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan the straight character IMO just shines — that is what I mean.
@romin
> maybe I set the bar too high
Poor wording. I set my expectations too high — it's Masahiko Outa who set the bar high with his other shows of this type.
It's not bad, but it's pretty mid compared to e.g. Minami-ke, Mitsudomoe, YuruYuri, Love Lab, Gabbie Dropout…
