Aura/Moom"Romance between high-school freshman and his grade-school non-biological sister" is an anime plot this season and I just *cringes into infinitely tight ball*
everything about this is No
Thew 🐟 (blue fishmark)@MOOMANiBE Hold on I'll bet I can summarize
- MC falls on girl's boobs in first episode
- Girls are constantly removing their clothing in the presence of MC and then beating him up and calling him a pervert for it
- All comedy consists of Character A doing something slightly odd and Character B TOTALLY FREAKING OUT over it and screaming while the camera pans into the sky
- Entire show is premised on romantic tension and absolutely nothing is resolved by the final episode
@Thew you're thinking more traditional romance. the "little sister" subgenre revolves a lot more around glancing at each other and blushing
@Thew I forced myself thru the first ep just to see if maybe it wasn't what I thought it was but: no, sadly. It's a pity because the little sister would be INCREDIBLY RELATABLE if she wasn't constantly being obectified
@MOOMANiBE I was momentarily sad that you shot down my joke but then realized I'm actually glad that I'm apparently not sufficiently well-versed in incest-bait tropes
@Thew I have a terrible habit of watching 1-3 eps of a show I know I won't like just to see if it gets better. This has made me horribly familiar with a variety of really bad anime tropes
@MOOMANiBE Haha
My trope familiarity is mostly from watching a bunch of terrible shows that were popular Online before eventually realizing that anime fans are by far worst people to trust for anime recommendations
@Thew anime is definitely a YMMV thing I think. There's a lot of shows I like but recommending them is HIGHLY dependant on personal preference.
@MOOMANiBE Yeah I'm willing to put up with/possibly enjoy a ton of Anime Bullshit if there's still something interesting going on besides. I feel like a lot of stuff that gets internet-anime-fan attention every season tends to consist entirely of arrangements of tropes without substance or originality though
