When I quite doing band, I lost whatever scraps of musical competency I had, but i gained so much in dignity and a lot of free time.

That is an extremely odd thing to think. Tell us more about these people. What do they have to say about Ore Monogatari!? In the Daredevil series on Netflix, do they like Karen with Matt or Foggy? How did they feel about episode 6 of the current season of Game of Thrones? Bernie Sanders, yay or nay? I want to get into the head of a crazy person.

Some people can't stand anything but heterosexual relationships in the media they consume, often because they are small minded bigots who can't bear to see a character give affection to someone who isn't their self-insert. Other people can't stand anything but homosexual relationships in the media they consume, often because they are fetishists who can't bear to see the a character taint their purity with someone of the same gender as the audience. Both attitudes are wrong. Never watch with pre-conceptions, for they will only harm your understanding.

Being relieved to know you're the same as someone else is stupid. I want to resist going along with all those perfect people.

Maybe not everything, but you kind of get it, right? That sort of crazy feeling?

Seriously. There's something about Shuichi that just irritates the poo poo out of the audience. There is something about the way he is framed by the camera. He never starts off as the focus of the shots, and instead always slides into frame from off-screen, so it always feels like he's intruding on the Kumiko's and the audience's train of thought.

Personality wise, he has none. We have absolutely no idea what's going through his head, we only know him through Kumiko, and from that she can barely put up with the guy.

Kyoani is capable of making really hot guys. Oreki was hot, the Frees were hot, and here Gotou and Taki are hot. With Shuichi, Kyoani pulled out all the stops to make him the antithesis of hot.

And instead, Kousaka sets Kumiko's and the audience's hearts a-flutter.

Gotou is hot? I mean, yeah, everyone in a KyoAni production is drawn cute (including, yes, Shuichi), but I don't recall the cinematography drawing much attention to it in Gotou's case.

There's a part where Gotou talks about how cool it is to support the band with Tuba and it's the cutest thing in a show full of cute stuff. Gotou is the best.

I'm guessing you, like most of the 99.999999999999999999999% of people commenting about the novels in English, haven't read it. Since I can't actively talk about the novels, but people who haven't feel free to spoil them, all I can say is that you're incredibly wrong because most of the talk centered around them is about poo poo that isn't really relevant in them. The past four days have shown how toxic the Western anime fandom is, including people here.

That's, uh, really vague.
