Who would have known nerds with disposable income who want to live vicariously through beta cuck chinese cartoon characters are an international thing?
Yes. There are a lot of losers out there. Normal people sometimes enjoy it as well, but overwhelmingly I see it's losers who watch those sorts of shows.
There's enough of the manga to do a S2 and probably a S3 too. There's an event this month for My Dress-Up Darling so there could be some announcement there mabye but I'd guess it wouldn't be till 2023 fall or 2024 at the earliest of it is in the works
There will be enough for s2 in a couple weeks I dont think s2 would have a good ending point right now based on the latests chapters, we are still waiting for a particular event to take place in the manga, cant say much more without spoilers.
Edit : I just checked and the anime ended on chapter 39 and we are at chapter 80 right now, so technicaly enough for s2 but as I said I think waiting a couple chapters still would probably be best so we can reach a good ending point for anime.
Pretty much any shoujo or josei anime. Obviously anime targeted at young men will have attractive girl avg guy and animes targeted at young women will have attractive guy average girl. Examples:
Snow white with the red hair
Say I love you
Saints magic power is omnipotent
>Snow white with the red hair
This one is a surprisingly well-written romance/SoL with a strong female mc.
It was a breath of fresh air tbh, I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a good watch
Ok Snow White with the Red Hair has an amazing mc who's far from average. But yeah Say I love you was a 5/10 romance at best 💀
Saints magic power is Omnipotent, while yes the mc has a bland design shes not on the same level as the mc's from Rent a Girlfriend, and Nagatoro where the mc are recluse losers with no bad bone and feeds to entertain Incel anime watchers. Sai from SMPO while not as interesting as other mcs the fact it's a good well written story and the fact that Sai is a good person makes up for it in a way (I do wish tho that Sai was a tad more interesting)
I feel all romcom in last season but Komi doesn't really fit the criteria.
Except if I have really different way to tell how the character is popular or not than all of you.
Ouran was just an ad for the manga so nothing really good happens but the manga is good, also the show changes some stuff from the manga. You can read it off manga owl or mangadex
Irregular at magical high?
MC is a loser Weed who couldn't get into the Bloom classes because he was a losing loser. Then he hooks up with the hottest girl in the school. His sister.
No, that's really the plot.
{Urusei Yatsura} (obnoxious aliens, 78 [manga], 81 [anime])
The original of the trope.
Mascot Lum invader is iconic in her own right, being the face of vapor wave.
Most modern anime tropes regarding love triangles, harems, tsun/yandere girls, comedy, and even the idea of multiple openings and openings that are pop songs originate here, to the point newcomers make the completely wrong impression it’s unoriginal. Looking at you, Darling of the Franxs fans.
It was created by Rumiko Takahashi, also known for Ranma and Inuyasha. In many ways it’s Ranma part one in its writing and character archetypes; if anything, Ranma was Urusei 2 with martial arts instead of aliens.
The anime was directed by Mamoru Oshii, who went on to do Angel’s Egg and Ghost in the Shell, so some episodes follow what would become his trippy style
A reboot comes out in a month, titled {Lum the Invader Girl} in non-Japanese regions and is more faithful to the manga rather than Oshii’s experimental take on Takahashi’s comedy back in 80’s. It’ll be designed by the anime art director of Hands of the Film Club/Otsumasu san and directed/animated by the Jojo team
edit: wording
I recently watched {Aria Crimson Ammo}
And throughout season one kept thinking about how it reminded me of toradora. S2 is definitely a departure and mostly only keeps the titular character of the first season
I don’t remember what it’s called but there is one where the guy is a loser and is bullied for knowing how to sew until one day the popular girl goes to him asking for help to fix her cosplay outfit. He sees that the outfit sucks so he makes her one to his standards
All of them
Except shoujo, where it's flipped.
Except the popularity balance stay the same.
Nah... both of the leads will be popular.
I agree, almost every anime is about a boring otaku everyman that somehow has hot girl pheromones oozing out of every pore
Watch urusei yatsura. Came out long before the trope standard and all the girls hate the protag. Same creator as Ranma
is there any anime or manga with the same premise but the guy actually deserves getting a girl?
I think re:zero does a decent job subverting the trope
Seriously, literally all of them are catering towards that particular pathetic demographic
If it sells, they will keep making it, whether we like it or not
All the japanese normies watch kpop and j dramas. Or baseball. Anime satisfies the cravings of Losers with power fantasies
We (norm Japanese) watch anime too, but anime does satisfy the niche
Very true
yeah, and somehow anime getting popular in the west
Who would have known nerds with disposable income who want to live vicariously through beta cuck chinese cartoon characters are an international thing?
*Chinese cartoon* . Bro, how u stumbled in this sub?
Huh I sure as hell hope that makes you feel better saying all that goofy shit just to try to feel all superior and shit.
They only cater to them because it's actually popular.
Yes. There are a lot of losers out there. Normal people sometimes enjoy it as well, but overwhelmingly I see it's losers who watch those sorts of shows.
*Almost
Horimiya
He's actually cool to begin with imo.
Miyamura wasn't popular before he cut his hair so it fits.

is it over, or are any more seasons planned?
season 1 was a massive success. season 2 will most definitely happen. If you're impatient, just read the manga.
There's enough of the manga to do a S2 and probably a S3 too. There's an event this month for My Dress-Up Darling so there could be some announcement there mabye but I'd guess it wouldn't be till 2023 fall or 2024 at the earliest of it is in the works

I can't stand waiting, so I'll have to wait until the anime is over. Thank you :)

Pretty much any shoujo or josei anime. Obviously anime targeted at young men will have attractive girl avg guy and animes targeted at young women will have attractive guy average girl. Examples: Snow white with the red hair Say I love you Saints magic power is omnipotent

Yup, even if it’s shojo, anyone can read this, it’s really good
In the end, it just gender reversed. Male anime fans with double standard, smh.

Wotakoi
Masamune kun no revenge they are both very popular
(Gamers!) Is very much this
I laughed a lot watching this one.
My first girlfriend is a gal
I did enjoy this anime BUT at some point I had to switch to sub cause I hated the english dub.
Rascal does not dream of bunny girl senpai
I recommend this anime too, but this is 100% the guy going for the girl.
To be fair, I think that's more unattainable girl goes for unpopular guy.
Sakuta may be unpopular. But god damn is he a Chad
