I think calling Skip and Loafer a romance is a bit inaccurate. I mean there is a romance angle but I think it's mostly a drama/comedy about the main character trying to settle in at university and make friends. The side characters are as important as the love interest. I'd compare it to something like Honey and Clover.



i like it a lot so far but i just find the op/ed to be kinda skippable

So far my level of interaction sits at humming Skip and Loafer to the tune of Skip to my Lou.

i have 0 opinions or interest in the show. i do appreciate the first thread attempting to do something creative and funny even if it missed the mark substantially (sorry dude i gave up reading that after a few seconds and i don't understand how the bit relates to the show at all)

it would probably make sense if you read the op. i haven't read the manga, but people in this thread seem to like skip and loafer because the side characters are more than just props for the main characters to bounce off of. everyone gets moments to grow through their interactions with each other. that's what the op says, but they used big words because it's funny to look at something onstensibly light and charming through the lens of big words.

yamada-kun doesn't quite have the production values of insomniacs or skip and loafer, but i think it's going to have the goofiest faces which is just as valuable.

okay. but i do want to clarify that i am insufferable and up my own rear end, whereas the show is an extremely light romcom that is mostly people having fun at school, in case there was confusion on that point.

My take: get rid of show-specific seasonal threads entirely. It saps discussion from the general seasonal thread, so whenever I check SA-ADTRW and see no new replies in the seasonal thread I am reminded that I read and post on a dead comedy forum, and consequently of my own mortality. As long as, uh, people only post about shows I like, I mean. All isekai and shonen talk should be banished from the seasonal thread and for good measure the forums as a whole.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

I googled the term out of curiosity and the 35 year old white man that coined the term has begged people to stop using it lmao.

I don’t really care about posting gimmick as it doesn’t effect my life in any meaningful capacity. If people feel there’s a real need for a “proper” thread feel free to make it as both existing threads tell me nothing about the show. Otherwise I’ll just leave them be until one consumes the other.

My advice to the gimmick poster is to just commit to it and annoy as many people as possible without being self conscious about it.

for long running shows and franchises that keep on going like gundam and one piece yea.

but seasonal shows that are getting barely 10 posts a week, and won't see any action at all after the short 12 episode cour it has lined up is finished?

Just make a thread, who gives a poo poo if nobody posts in it. You don't need to convene a council to decide the appropriate level of engagement to warrant a separate place to post about something.

Easier to see posts in such a thread instead of tracking them down in a gigantic catch-all thread.

A thread doesn't need a million posts to be good.

Another advantage of seasonal threads for shows is I don't have to read all the tedious posts where people impotently attempt to dunk on the terrible shows they just have to watch and then tell us about for some reason.

well yeah duh. but i can dodge these threads which I usually do. whereas if all seasonal shows are contained to one thread i'm just not going to read or post about any of them, depending on the season's isekai ratio

i would like to reiterate that it is still very funny to me that a thread where i use the hegelian dialectic to structure talking about the show (and i do talk about the show in the op, not sure where the idea that the op is not about the show comes from, it just talks about it in a particular way, i don't lie about it) results in an initial thread, a second thread created in oppositional reaction to it, and then a proposed final third thread that would resolve the tension between both.
