I'm just shocked, like, they know what stakes are and how to raise them? They don't instantly revive main characters that are killed? The horrible secret that they sealed away actually is pretty horrible and not spilling the beans earlier also has consequences? IT HAS CONSEQUENCES?!?!?

I just wanted some perverted jokes and a reminder I have taste but having a decent plot and action is a nice perksacrifice I guess

I really really liked the manga. Good to know the anime is on cr and i can see if i still like it.

FYI Kodansha re-released the manga:
https://kodanshacomics.com/series/pumpkin-scissors/

Someone was translating it past where Del Rey left off for a while so I read quite a bit of it but I think Kodansha is past even what was scanned now, and I'd like to pick it back up but I just don't know if I still like it enough to start over from the beginning again (and it would bug the hell out of me to start somewhere in the middle).

i think the last time this came up my argument was that tsugomomo has both more often awfulness and is more explicit about it because every character is a pre teen and reading any kind of media where child rape is a constant threat looming in the distance is a Bad Idea

the other difference is that kyoani is a proven studio that usually avoids putting out awful skeevy poo poo while tsugomomo was its studio's third production, the other two being a moe italian food show that zero people talked about and a clumsily executed gay metaphor

and i mean no one here is going to rec maidragon without some huge disclaimers so even a "good" studio adapting awful source material doesn't work out well

i guess my point is that you're right but the presence of awful is a reason to avoid something unless presented with some kind of extenuating circumstance

im mostly mad at tsugomomo because it had a good premise and nice art and then you're hit in the face with some weird poo poo almost immediately after it tricks you into thinking you've got a cool action series

I watched like the first episode and a half of the anime of it, and it really just seemed boring and generic. I don't know, maybe the manga is different, but nothing about it seemed to stand out at all for better or for worse.

Pretty much this.
I kept reading in the face of the skeevy poo poo.

It's really weird, that happens more than once. You kinda forget about the weird poo poo and then the author snaps because he hasn't drawn a boobie in a while and you just say, "Holy poo poo, what?"
Dude needs to just take like, 3 months a year to draw porn. Get it out of your system, then come back.

He explicitly says in the authors notes that he regrets the one book that's super heavy with drama and poo poo has no fanservice, so he drew some for the omake because

all the worst offenders are dead now though, so he's coming up with weird explanations to keep the fanservice up, but it's not as bad as it used to be

SatansBestBuddy was posting about the manga, so that's more what i was going off of. the anime didn't seem to get any discussion here other than the one initial flare-up about parts of the manga. wading in on this without familiarity of tsugumomo probably wasn't the best, since i neither know how bad the bad actually is or what redeeming qualities it might have. but yeah i don't disagree with your last point, though past experience on SA leads me to prefer seeing stuff for myself rather than believing the hype.
