Thanks.
For me it was a bit like watching a campy movie for fun, part of the fun was very much jeering at it with others.
Hadn't consider this aspect. I usually just watch anime solo and purely for enjoyment of the story.
To enjoy the show, I think you probably also have to enjoy the Mary Sue & wish-fulfillment aspect to some extent.
Yeah, that doesn't really describe me that much. I'm fine with OP characters but if there isn't some challenge, some character development... or at least some obvious comedy / "plot" going on, then I tend to lose interest pretty fast.
Binged Yuusha ga Shinda after this which was more of the comedy and "plot" than anything but that was much more up my alley. But even just watching only 1 other anime since then, I feel like I can barely even remember Iseleve at this point, despite having finished out the season only a few days ago... like I honestly had to reread my OP just to draw up enough to remember it at all. I suspect I will have completely forgotten it by the end of the month.
I think I can help but it will take more than just words. It will take a demonstration and I will need your help to convince your gf.
But you can say that cigarettes make you better in bed. If you gf is hot and you can convince her, I'm willing to sleep with her and do a bad job to help you look good. After a few sessions to rule out one-off performances and so on, I am confident she'll be convinced.
