The only reason a man should wear red and white striped socks is if he stands inconspicuously in large crowds professionally.

One of the big reasons why Free made such a splash was the high production values which as EB stated is just unheard of in media pandering directly to women.

My rankings are: 2 > 4 > 3 > 5 > 1

He's that hot douche you have a short fling with then after it falls apart you both snipe at each other passive-aggressively at the office and make all your coworkers uncomfortable, but when you both get drunk at the Christmas party you can't keep your hands off each other and end up in the supply closet while all of your coworkers pretend they can't hear you.

I think the Coworker Sempai has probably been the most relatable one* in terms of the scenario and that's why I like it so much. It's got this feeling of a sort of everyday type of situation, at least moreso then meeting a music virtuoso, going stargazing in the mountains, or sharing a train ride with a high school kid.


*In a positive way, unlike say coming home to the Jobless Bum from the first episode. Which is a big reason why I dislike that one so much and why it's hard for me to understand why anyone would want a fantasy of that sort of relationship.

That sounds much more appealing than a guy who doesn't even make you a snack when you come home from a long day at work. Even Work-senpai had a bottle of tea ready for your drunk rear end.

Fuck the DH

I thought this was going to be my favorite character when they showed basic character profiles, but in motion he looks SO WEIRD. Just like everyone else on this show. They all look like goddamn plastic dolls.

Like I think I mentioned in an earlier post, the part I like so much about Work Senpai is that he's generally coming off as a normal, kind dude and then just out of nowhere starts telling the viewer about how he considered committing suicide and just acts like it's a totally normal thing to say. The first guy (the one who bums at your house) came off as really bizarre/creepy.

I think I'd rate them 2 > 4 > 5 > 3 > 1

it's good that this show has no music or sound effects because when you put it on your phone and watch it in bed, having your eyes closed for the last few bits of it, you can just imagine the voice ending is from the boy falling asleep next to you, while any bgm ending would honestly be more distracting than anything

We should do weighted votes like the kyoani thread, because it's pretty clear cowroker would win a straight poll at this point

He'd win a weighted vote too, but we'd see who was people's second choice and so on, so it'd be more interesting

The joke is that he has to wear an eyepatch for a legit medical reason but he's turning it into a chunni thing anyway. "It feels like there's something living under there..."

the chuuni guy was actually super funny, and the musician is basically a chuuni too
opening on astronomy boy completely encased in a sleeping bag also got a laugh

You're not wrong in saying astronomy boy is very high-tier, although I am not quite willing to say he's top. He might be. Get back to me in a few days when I've fallen asleep to him and coworker boy a few more times each and I'll be able to give a comparative review.
