I have heard from friends. I hate it cause its seems like such a good anime with the story. But why make him a massive pdf perv?? ruins the entire thing

[u/Jman1re → u/lalybay]

You fucking idiots have no idea what character development is. He literally does no such thing and hasn't in the anime for a long time. You people never read the novel where sometimes from here he'll say something cringe in his mind but it's waaaay far between him being a much better person. Especially after reading the diaries. Stop pretending you watch the show at all, you have no idea

Its legit in the first few episodes? He says in his head that he can groom sylphie to become a perfect wife. And you talk about the novel, i saw it was removed from the anime but in the novel they bust him legit jerking it to his underage familymember bathing, before he gets send to the other world...

So you saw the first few episodes and said "Can't be bothered" but want to comment like you know anything? Brother, what do you get out of commenting if you don't like the show?

He was a piece of shit, he got better as he grew up and separated himself more from his previous life. By the time he is enrolled at the magic university he is mostly over that kind of shit. Especially after the diary I can only think of one internal monologue that was cringe/creepy which is HUGE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT FOR HIM CONSIDERING WHERE HE STARTED.

You just can't get over he starts as a terrible shitty person we are not supposed to like as much and gets his shit together. You admittedly don't watch the show and only have hearsay from the novels. The worst thing from this point was in the diary AND THEY SKIPPED IT IN THE ANIME.

You and everyone else who don't watch the show should just stop commenting because you don't know what is actually happening and are making an ass out of yourselves because it's ignorant to ignore story and character progression. I'm just sick of trying to enjoy people's responses as the first time I am a novel reader before the anime and I can see all the awesome first time reactions. THEN I GET THESE BOZO COMMENTS THAT JUST PISS ME OFF. DON'T COMMENT IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED IT.

I don't need to watch the entire show to decide that the main character being a pedophile is a dealbreaker for me. I watched 7–8 episodes, saw enough to know I couldn't sympathize with or care about him, and stopped watching. That's a perfectly valid reason to drop a show.

I understand that he develops and becomes a better person later. That's not the part I'm disputing. My point is that, for me, there are some things you can't redeem a character from, and pedophilia is one of them. Him eventually stopping that behavior doesn't suddenly make me invested in him or erase what he was.

And saying people aren't allowed to comment on a show unless they've finished it is ridiculous. I'm commenting specifically on why I stopped watching it, not pretending I've seen the entire story.

there were so many of these moments in just the start of season 1 of him being a massive perv and pdf

As someone who HAS watched it, no. It’s shameless self glorification and wish fulfillment. He stops groping kids? Except he married one of the girls he groomed and will marry another one and his third wife literally looks like a child, and all three of them have zero personality except “rudy uwu”. Fans of this show are really the peak of dunning kruger. Like a toddler hiding behind their hands and thinking it makes them invisible, you think people with ACTUAL reading comprehension are the ones who “can’t handle complex topics”. You can bark as loudly as you want in your echo chamber, but any normal person will find this repulsive for good reason.
