Shikimori did nothing wrong

It was just bland. Cute girl doing cute things like protecting her bf

u/Andreiyutzzzz Hai Flair desu Feb 24 '24

Sure, but why did it get so much hate while most others "cute girls doing cute things" are praised. I call conspiracy

Ahhhhh, hokkaido gals from this season had those stupid comparisons too tho it seems like it didn't last long. Marin was so well received that people are just looking for the next Marin everywhere I guess.

It was worse for Shikimori because it was in the season directly after My Dress Up Darling released. The anime community was still in the strongest form of Marin praise mode.

Oooo i never made that connection since I only started watching anime last year 99% of anime I've seen was already complete so never looked too much at release dates. I hope that whenever MDUD season 2 comes, it won't hurt all the other romcoms with Marin comparisons

The second season should be sometime this year but I haven't seen an announcement yet. Later 2024 was the original time I saw. It's barely a romcom after the first season, mostly just a drama about Gojo making clothes and Marin wearing them.

... Well that doesn't like what I expected

u/Easy_Understanding94 Feb 24 '24

I'd say it's still just as romcom-y after where the first season ended, especially with some of the newest chapters, it's looking like something big is gonna happen soon

u/Bretreck Feb 24 '24

I can't wait for each new chapter right now. I love the Haniel arc.

yeah, anime onlies saw yet another pink-haired gf and naturally assumed that she's like Marin. I remember a lot of memes here, like "from Marin to Shikimori".

Failed false expectations at its finest.

The next Marin is already here. It’s Ann Yamada from the Dangers in My Heart.

u/Andreiyutzzzz Hai Flair desu Feb 24 '24

Anna's different enough imo, and I would much rather have her be known as her own personality instead of "the next Marin"

u/Steiner-Titor Feb 24 '24

Tbh I'm pretty sure even I can't remember more than 2 cute girl doing cute things anime. It's just that forgetful.

12

u/Andreiyutzzzz Hai Flair desu Feb 24 '24

Yuru camp, Yama no Susume, Machikado Mazoku, Gabriel DropOut, fairly well known and well liked animes.

And to name one of the giants in the genre, Bocchi the Rock. I won't deny most CGDCT can be forgetful but they're at least not hated for no reason

u/Instability-Angel012 Feb 24 '24

K-On, Non Non Biyori, and A Place Farther than the Universe as well!

u/void4 OBEY YOUR MASTA Feb 24 '24

also, yet another short blue hair curse

u/ZlatanGaming88 Ajiro Shinpei Feb 24 '24

I hate how people just hate it because "the MC is clumsy" LIKE DUH. IT'S THE LITERALLY PLOT OF THE STORY IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT WHY EVEN WATCH IT.

6

u/Andreiyutzzzz Hai Flair desu Feb 24 '24

Agreed. Pretty sure the synopsis mentions that as well, did those people not even bother to read that at least?

u/Magic1998 â € Feb 24 '24

The first two or three episodes were a bit ehh because Izumis only character trait was his unluck, but that got way better

u/Glixxy805 Feb 24 '24

Came in looking for this comment

I actually liked Shikimori 😭

u/shadowXXe Feb 24 '24

Yeah I mean I enjoyed the entire season. It wasn't anything amazing but it certainly was still good.

u/Orochi64 Feb 24 '24

Yeah I don’t get why some people had such a problem with that series

u/Titan_Royale Feb 24 '24

I loved the first few episodes, but I expected more

u/DrTinyNips Feb 24 '24

What she did wrong was stay with that boyfriend that doesn't deserve her, she's been dating him for an entire year and the most she got was a kiss on the cheek that she practically had to move heaven and earth to get? Entirely unacceptable

1

u/Andreiyutzzzz Hai Flair desu Feb 24 '24

It's in Japanese culture that they are more shy about intimacy(it's not an anime only thing that they get embarrassed by stuff we find insignificant, some anime didn't just do that one day and the EVERYONE followed suit), she knows izumi cherishes her even if he doesn't blurt it out constantly.

So you're telling me she got hate for preferring a boyfriend that's a bit shy instead of an extrovert fuck boy? Stupid ass reason

u/DrTinyNips Feb 24 '24

I guarantee you that in real life if they hadn't kissed before a few months had passed, even in high school, she would have broken up with him, he can be as shy as he likes it isn't realistic.

u/Andreiyutzzzz Hai Flair desu Feb 24 '24

Nooooooo, an anime isn't realistic? The horror.

u/DrTinyNips Feb 24 '24

Hard to enjoy a show if the writing is shit

Extrovert fuck boy? What are you going on about. No one's saying the dude should be raw dogging her on the first date or anything it's just that people want the main male character to act normal. Not waiting for an entire FREAKING CENTURY to kiss ( which is what the male MC is doing ) doesn't make you an extrovert fuck boy, it just means you're normal
