Pandering to japanese fujoshi does make sense from a business perspective considering they're the ones that made Free!, Yuri on ice, and Osomatsu-san top sellers during their time, so I dunno if you can really say they're being shat on considering there's still a market for that audience. What makes western fujoshi cringy is that they only have the autism and don't actually spend money on the shit they like.
An equally annoying situation that plagues most romance is the third wheel that appears right after the main couple has finally gotten together just to cause drama. After how many chapters of wanting the main couple to get together, finally it happens to satisfy the hungry readers, and yet there's no time to enjoy them becoming a couple due to the author throwing in a rival. It's also almost always stupid drama that wouldn't happen if the main couple actually talked to each other to clear up misunderstandings.
I get the same way whenever someone mentions how long ago shows actually aired that I remember watching live. Ouran is another one of those early shoujo shows I want to see get the Fruits Basket treatment and that first aired back in 2006.
Wish there was more of an English market for old Shoujo because I find them much more enjoyable than newer titles, it was already a miracle that Rose of Versailles got the limited release that it did.I think it's more a problem if the girl has slept with anyone before the main character, that's when they're usually considered "used goods" by those that care about such things. The Kannagi manga drama is quite a legendary case of that kind of drama, fans were more upset about the idea one of the girls had a previous boyfriend.
Eh correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the series end
Well Fujoshi literally means "rotten girl" and while it's true there's works that cater to that niche you don't see traditionally male dominated brands and fandoms being warped to appeal to them like you've been seeing in the West for the last half decade. And well from from what I've seen outside of works that cater to them Fujos aren't exactly welcome in most fandoms.
Damn, the list of stuff I'm watching right now that's undelayed is getting smaller and smaller. It's only 4 shows at this point.
It's still causing trouble over there and not just in anime production. Besides anime, I also have an interest in Toku and know that both Kamen Rider Zero-One along with Super Sentai Kiramagers have been put on hiatus for the next several weeks at minimum because it's unsafe to continue filming on location. They managed for the last several weeks as they film chunks of episodes in advance but it's unclear when either will start up again. Given that both Kamen rider and Super Sentai are yearly series it's also up in the air what is going to happen to either shows episode length and if they'll have to cut things short.
In Japan, it's pretty serious. Most of the delayed titles still don't have any information as to when they'll resume. Odds are at this rate, most of them will either end up returning in the Fall or just be delayed until next year. Which sucks, since that only leaves about four titles left, and with one of them (Sunrise's adaptation of Wave, Listen to Me), there's no information as to just how many episodes were in the can before the lockdown. As mentioned already, the lockdown restrictions over there got extended to the end of May, but I get the feeling it'll wind up getting extended again the way things are are.
I've only watched the first season, but I believe in the third season, Issei's future children travel to the past to help him and the girls about a big threat. It's implied that he's too busy to get laid because he's seen as a hero who's literally powered by his breast obsession (and ironically chickening out whenever the girls come onto him). No really, his theme song is all about huge tits:
I dunno if Crunchyroll ever got around to making their player not-shit (that was one of the big points of contention when High Guardian Spice was announced: "our sub fees are going to this garbage when your player's barely functional?"), but if you're yo-ho-hoing HorribleSubs releases, then you're getting the same thing as Crunchyroll, except you get to keep the vids forever and can watch them without dealing with a web player. And you can't beat free. Actual fansub groups produce better subs nine+ out of ten times, but you've got to wait for 'em, if a fansub group even picks up the show you want to watch. If you want to see shit as it's coming out of Japan, HorribleSubs is alright, but definitely not worth paying for. Sail away.
That's why I stick with buying manga I like instead of anime. If a series I like gets released for cheap later on, I'll consider it, but I couldn't bear the exorbitant prices that the initial releases go for. I like your show, but not that much.
Shouta Aoi died on the way back to his planet.
