Thread 281793344

Who the fuck is the target audience for this? Big burly dudes would rather watch fighting or sport anime rather than romance faggotry whereas girls who are into romcoms wouldn't find the main hero attractive at all making the whole pairing dynamic laughable.

>>281793344 (OP)
The first couple episodes of this were unconfortable as fuck.

>"Damn, I wish Suna would fuck the girl I have a crush on, that would be fantastic. I gotta put all my effort so this happens"

Like it seemed right out of /dbs/ shitposts. Then I dropped it shortly after as it became boring, thought love confessions were supposed to be the climax of the story, not the beginning.

Western zoomer retards can't possibly comprehend femenine submissive women being a thing. Imagine being this brainwashed by feminism.

>>281793344 (OP)
Women

Women aren't attracted to looks, just personality and character chemistry. They find self-improvement and self-awareness appealing when the men aren't blaming others for their problems.

>>281793792
I don't know man, Yamato seems to be the kind of character women would hate, she is almost a full blown moeblob.

>>281793344 (OP)
I'm a big burly dude who watches romance faggotry because no one likes me

>>281793344 (OP)
What a bad if not downright backwards and retarded post. It’s like a teenager had the gall to mouth off at me

It appeals to the "literally me" demographic

This is made for women with sumo fetish

This was literally for awkward big dudes.

>>281793344 (OP)
You sound like some insufferable kid trying to fit in with the older neighborhood kids. It's just a silly romcom, enjoy it for what it is or don't.

>>281793344 (OP)
It's shoujo. It was published in Bessatsu Margaret. Even though Takeo isn't conventionally attractive, girls read romance more for the relationship dynamic than being attracted to the male lead. He's still extremely manly and boyfriend material.

>>281794254
Notice how every depiction of takeo is extremely careful not to make him look fat by any chance even thought a guy his size would have a little pudge to him.

>>281793964
You do realize the standard shoujo heroine is basically a moeblob? It seems you don't know what women actually like and just have a bunch of assumptions in your head.

>>281793344 (OP)
You think you know people. You don't.

I know lots of girls and guys that have been into this show

Egg

its a fun show, might watch it again.

>>281793585
Dude went through half a lifetime of girls crushing on his bishonen bro. He's mentally conditioned himself into the mental self esteem image of your average /r9k/ anon.

I had a friend in middle school that visually looked like the MC, he was very tall and burly but a complete gentle giant. After highschool i saw him and he actually got a gf, she wasn't very pretty but he looked happy.

>Women aren't attracted to looks, just personality and character chemistry
Please tell me you don't actually beleive that.

>>281797351
That's kind of rude anon.

Who can even take on Takeo?

>>281797600
Leave Takeo to me.

>>281793344 (OP)
Takeo is one of the best male MCs of all time

I like how many assumptions you made about the motivation behind the character design. It’s like you’re projecting your insanity on everyone else or something. Validation seeking thread

>tfw Suna won't kiss my gf

I actually watched this thinking it was the first season of the monogatari series.

>>281796009
Takeo has a manly humility, not self esteem issues. those are two very different things

>>281797869
That's not even funny as a joke.

>Aaaaaaaaaugh I don't know the target demographic of this show so I can't figure out what to think of it!! Too bad I can't watch it to form my own opinion!!

Give it a try you buffoon, it's a good show (at least a good manga, I haven't watched the anime)

>>281798578
Nta but does the story include any ntrbait/love triangle drama later on? I'm surprised they got together by episode 3 and it would suck if the story shat on their wholesome relationship later on so I'd rather leave it there if that's the case.

I always felt she won by cheating.
But, it might be because I preferred him with the little sister.

I'm an ugly fuck and I want to be loved too

>>281793344 (OP)
You know how some guys are like "I love tomboys. Actually I love fat bitches and bitches with glasses and no tits and 7 feet tall or maybe old instead of young"? It's like that but woman version, I imagine. He's ticks boxes of hot while being kind of different.

>>281794247
>This is made for women with sumo fetish
I learned fairly recently that this is much more common than one would think.
I was pretty surprised.
Lots of women love sumo apparently.
Also the sumo world is kind of interesting in itself.

>>281799664
There are Japanese, both men and women, who sacredly watch sumo every weekend (live or TV), just like people who sacredly watch football or tennis matches in the West.

>>281799664
Wonder why would woman engage in a hobby that ostracizes their very existence like how they had to exorcise a sumo ring after a female paramedic stepped on it to aid a injured contestant kek everyone was mad at her then had to bring a priest to to the whole thing to purify the ring again.

>>281798505
women care about looks to an extent, but they are not purely a visual animal like men. i wonder if mens obsession with visual beauty is tied to our ancestry of hunting.

>>281799882
Men are not obsessed with visual beauty lmao if anything men are far more lenient to diffetent vody types than woman.

>>281798048
Not really, humility is accepting when something isn't. Not discounting yourself entirely.

>>281793344 (OP)
You're a fucking idiot. Men dont understand women as much as women dont understand men. Theres a gazillion women out there, im talking normal women, not freaks, who are currently jerking off to Caseoh. Caseoh is also their type apparently

>>281800010
I think generally men are more open and general but they don't like specific different body types as much they're cool with a particular spectrum. So their taste is all over the place so long as she's in a window of conventionally attractive give or take a bit of personal taste. Generally Women are a lot more particular but each individual particularity can all over the place and more personality guided.
And that's not just getting into men's desperation in general.

>>281794121
Where did you find these images of me?

>>281800564
Millionaire and famous men are type? YOU DON'T SAY

>>281800662
Ok but men's window encompasses like 95% of women.

>>281795721
>standard shoujo heroine is basically a moeblob
No, she's a default female. Slightly clumsy, slightly bad at everything with no special talents but overall NORMAL. Self-insert shit

>>281800920
I agree, Yamato isn't anything like that even. She excels at baking and is over gigacute and extremely feminine, it's quite literally an idealized girl from the male pov.

>>281793344 (OP)

The words of a weak man.

>>281794001
Same

Ah, so money.

Yeah when you get into desperation.

>>281801253
I bench 70lbs for reps, faggot.

>>281799562
Her problem was that, she never tried to win him over.

>>281798641
i remember some other chick in the story (his buddy's sister maybe?) had a crush on takeo but she lost her chance at that point

>>281798262
Reality hurts, doesn't it?
>>281798337
See, that's a worthy foe. But I still doubt he stands a chance against Takeo. Harima doesn't even know judo, does he?

>>281801559
No, just whatever he's picked up from street fights. He's evenly matched with some of his classmates that practice martial arts though.

>>281793344 (OP)
I am a big burly dude into romance. I watched this.

>>281801386
True. But the reason I say Sawachika won by cheating, is that because her sole true love interest was Harima, and her own plot demanded she ended up with someone, it was kind of default.
Meanwhile Yakumo was fine just ending up as a spinster.

Well, it could also be related to the me back in those days having a real hateboner for tsunderes. Maybe if I re-read it nowadays, I wouldn't mind.

>>281793344 (OP)
Its for women but youre a r9k loser so you wont understand the appeal
>hes tall
>big but not that fat
>isnt a drag to be around
>will stop to do the right thing
you arent any of these. this is why you will die on stream with a gay bandana on and your parents finding your corpse

>>281793344 (OP)
Well, it's basically a story of how I met my wife.
I lifted her up while she was telling something to a group of her simps and it was hilarious.
Her brain didn't even register the fact, that her legs are not touching the ground anymore but she is still speaking.

>>281799664
Yeah I started watching sumo tournaments this year and every time I'm kinda shocked by the amount of hot bitches fangirling in the background

>>281800793
>Millionaire and famous men
Nobody’s jerking off to Trump, bozo. Even lesbians are out here declaring their love for that Caseoh dude because of his personality. One guy even got cucked, his girlfriend knitted a huge plushie for Caseoh. I don’t sucking off that fat dude, but if it was really just about fame and money, Asmongold would probably have girls all over his room.

There's a v4 of this shit withering away in a shelf of a comic booth, close from my neighborhood, possibly since 2018, somewhat exposed to mild humidity, dryness and heat (its still wrapped in shrink plastic). No one will buy that shit, even less someone like me.

>>281793344 (OP)
This was published in a shoujo magazine. It is for women. Note how the female lead is like voraciously horny for him and is constantly pushing to take the relationship to the next level, which is not something you usually see in media meant for men.

There is a subset of women for whom Takeo is their type. They want a big, gorilla looking dude who is emotionally and intellectually simple, and the gap between his outward appearance and his inward vulnerability is appealing. Takeo is MOE.

That being said, i think a lot of guys can find this appealing. I know I did. I can see a lot of myself in Takeo. Have you never been so blinded by your own imperfections to the point that you can't see the good things in front of you? Even if that's not the case, you still end up rooting for the guy, because like virtually every other character in the story, you end up realizing that Takeo is a great guy who deserves good things

>>281797556
Judo has been a mainstay of Shoujo comics ever since Yawara!

>>281802274
He's KIND of a drag to be around. Takeo is so down on himself and his own worth that it does get frustrating by the time you hit the Patissier Arc

>>281793344 (OP)
Me. I'm a big guy and I liked it.

>>281803968
>Note how the female lead is like voraciously horny for him and is constantly pushing to take the relationship to the next level, which is not something you usually see in media meant for men.
You got it the wrong way around. In romance for men, the female lead is always the one who's infatuated and horny while the male lead is a passive doormat who never takes the lead. Takeo is active, strong, and manly which is common for male leads in romance for women but rare in romance for men.

>>281793344 (OP)
I admire Takeo, it's fun to watch he and Yamato's adventures and imagining the sex.

dude, women wanna fuck the shit out of this dude lmfao

>>281797420
he's completely right about that, it just applies to fictional characters specifically. real people are harder to trust than some drawing with a few character traits.

>>281800920
>>281801194
You guys have no idea what you're talking about. The most common characteristic of a shoujo heroine is being a pure-hearted, innocent, cute girl.
>Tohru from Fruits Basket
Uguu cute, endlessly positive, good at cooking and cleaning, the perfect housewife
>Sawako from Kimi ni Todoke
Uguu cute, top of her class, good at cooking and crotchet
>Amu from Shugo Chara
Constantly in various cute outfits, energetic (Ran), artistic (Miki), and domestic (Sue).
>Cardcaptor Sakura
I don't even need to say anything.
Rinko isn't a special case. She's literally a normal shoujo heroine.

Jun from Tomo-Chan might be able to beat him in a sparring match, or at least fight to a draw.

But not at being the goodest boy, Jun is kind of an asshole.

The audience doesn't necessarily have to relate to the heroine to enjoy the show. Even just the romantic dynamics of it is enough to make it worthwhile.
Besides, Sunakawa is there for them to look at. And he doesn't get paired with anyone so no one gets jealous.
Also, Oremonogatari is into the "looks shouldn't matter" thing. Which is why Takeo has to be ugly and is disliked by every girl except the one who falls in love with character first.

>>281805942
>The audience doesn't necessarily have to relate to the heroine to enjoy the show.

There's light drama about the characters' insecurities but all in all it's a wholesome romance with a funny couple

>>281793792
Heigh is a highly valued trait for women. This is why shoujo if full of fucking tall guys, why you almost never see a short guy as love interest, even ED from FMA got taller than Winry in the end when being short was a big part of his character. eHarmony received so many complaints of women who were matched with guys shorter than them that they changed the matching system to not match women with men shorter than themselves. Can you imagine being that pissed over being suggested a shorter guy? Women care about looks but have different priorities.

>>281808198
Forgot pic

>>281801703
Not good enough especially with that massive size difference. Takeo is not only a master at judo but also practically superhuman.
>>281805609
As big as Jun is, he's still like 3 weight classes below Takeo. He's not winning. Nozaki is closer in size but even that is a big gap.

>>281795776
It's a fun show. Manga was pretty cute, too. I can see why a lot of people would like it, especially since the "misunderstanding" part didn't drag on for very long and most of the show was getting to see their relationship shenanigans.

One of those liberal California celeb types that went to calling everything Trump "Hitler, facist, racist, etc" as the Hollywood Masters demand was interviewed by Rogan in 2015 or 2016 and admitted during one of earlier the debates when Trump called out all of the seasoned politicians for begging him for money and how he paid them to do his bidding - "I paid you, I paid you, etc" -
She said she found it hot, said it "Activated her lizard brain."

She doesn't want to fuck Trump because he's old and fat but SHE WOULD FUCK Trump to feel like she's part of his dominance over the highest level public figures.

In that moment, to her, his physical traits were overshadowed by his charisma and display of power.

>>281807646
She fell in love with Takeo when he made a sweet gesture to her with a flower. This was when they were younger and Takeo was still a boy.
Try to pay attention when you watch, m8.

They never do date ugly men. But when men do the same, at least they actually give ugly girls something of a chance, albeit begrudgingly.

>>281808353
Jun punches way above his weight though, because of bullshit anime martial-arts training.
Whereas Takeo is a huge powerful genetic-freak his martial-arts are the regular kind.

>>281809187
Yeah, making her the first girl to like him.
Her only mistake was waiting for him to be legal, ensuring her loss.

>>281807646
Ahh, you meant that. It was a typo, lol. There was supposed to be an s there.

>>281800497
humility is not assuming you're the protagonist and acting as such. Takeo is a total hero who thinks he's just doing what anyone else would do, but most people wouldn't run into a burning building to save some bitchy girls. he did it without question

At least Winry admitted she loved Edward before the growth spurt. Plus, a lot of women actually like short Ed, of course, it’s fictional and they like an idealized version of him.

what my dude, dont you have 2 neurons to rub to get that sometimes unconvetional couples can get together?
Im an oldfag, I gave it a chance because I thought it would be one of those japanese nonsesical comedy shows, but oh boy was I bitchslapped by a first love story between 2 teens where both have zero experience, tons of naivete, and a lot of sweet AWWWWW moments.
Sometimes you just need a story where good characters get good outcomes. maybe you need to wait a few years more for your balls to drop in your scrotum and then, maybe give it a chance. that being said, if the series is not your cup of tea, its perfectly fine, just dont say inane shallow shit about something you just cant grasp.
