lmao



I don't think you can learn that that's prolly some goddess specific skill

Well the Lalatina struggles are over and Lalatina is worse than i thought.

Even the end of the episode is a waiting disaster to happen lol

I can kind of get behind Ecchan but the female teacher just seems silly. Just after I post about how they treat characters as actual characters and not just some random cardboard cut-outs do we get this cardboard villain of a teacher.
Now chances are I'm leaping a bit to conclusions and we might get some background that explains this but so far not a fan of her.
And I get that she's obviously someone you're not supposed to like, that's not the issue here. Just feels like they're making it too easy for themselves by presenting us that clearly "evil" character rather than something a little bit more nuanced and believable

Having that random girl show up stating that she loves him and he's helped her out in the past etc... feels a lot like Marika though at least there, they had a friendship that blossomed somewhat. Wonder what her embarrassing reason is lol. Also, if we get one more girl that Masamune likes, maybe some friend that he's had a crush on that wasn't introduced yet would make it even closer to Nisekoi XD

Ecchan prob has the best design of the season for me. Red, long hair, soft spoken, yet so pitiful behind her dead eyes. What she truly wants is out of reach so she chooses for simple, ephemeral pleasure.
Bitch sensei is actually my second and I'm surprised you simplify her into a cardboard villain. What exactly do you find so plain about her? Behind her false demeanor, she's a narcissist with borderline sociopathic traits. She's charming to a degree where readers accurately call her a man eater and has the interpersonal skill to read every other character in the series like a book. So what does she do instead? Utter disregard for anyone else and almost lives her life like a hedonist. idk what kind of other villains you're comparing her too but to the contrary, I thought she was a good villain with values and thoughts that you can draw parallels with to people in real life.
If anything, and true to the series, a lot of things bitch sensei does then says in internal monologue is uncomfortable. And that's pretty good for a 2D chara in my book.

I've had some back and forth with a couple of guys on MAL on this but for me it's just that I'm not really buying her character right now.
So far I'd say there's 2 things to her that I'm seeing and chances are they're wrong but that's my perception of her so far:
1) Like you said she comes of as a sociapath who genuinly enjoys hurting people (emotionally)
2) She seems like she has underlying insecurity issues to some degree? The whole flashback to her schooltime showing how she "steals away" her friends crush and doesn't feel bad about it kinda shows both to me. Firstly she doesn't feel bad about it and secondly she says herself that she doesn't ever want that to happen to herself, right?

That just isn't relatable to me at all given what we have. Sure there are psycho's out there and all that but that's just not really my kind of character. If I were to compare it to Game of Thrones for example, I absolutely love Cersei for being a really, really good villain. She isn't someone who wakes up in the morning thinking "okay, now how can I hurt people today" but instead you see all the awful things she does and you can relate to all that because she really loves her children so much and wants to protect them rather than some silly "okay I want to be evil" kind of guy.
In contrast Ramsay was pretty meh for me as well, but still better than Akane. He was straight up crazy and perhaps even somewhat comparable to Akane... since she also enjoys hurting people, at least emotionally. But with Ramsay I never got the feeling that it was so out of nowhere. Like I said in the innitial post, could very well be I'm jumping to conclusions since we just met her but right now the female teacher just seems silly to me

I was kinda shocked that noone seemed to mind Ecchan. I like the character and all but people on MAL were innitially like "aww, that's nice" and I'm just sitting there scratching my head in disbelief. Just for clarification, the distinction between liking a character for being a good character (I totally agree with that on Ecchan) and liking the person that character is supposed to be... I really didn't understand people saying the second...
it's like you get this scene:

and people react like "awww, how cute. That's nice for her" and I'm just sitting there thinking that if it wasn't for her being overshadowed by Akane being a monster, people would be talking about her being an asshole.
But I like her way more since it's more nuanced with her and not that one character trait to the extreme
