Hige o Soru: A cute high school girl falls essentially from the sky into your lap and moves in with you, but you're such a useless herbivore that you scold her and go back to smoking and drinking while letting her sleep on the hard floor. 100% of the problem with this series is the guy. He's an awful person to start with, then he treats her awfully, and that talk about how she's too young to be sexually attractive is absurd. Every time he says that I want to punch him in the face. She's a completely mature woman, a freaking F-cup, and unlikely to grow an inch further in height or in any other way except fatter from here. So all he's saying is he's only attracted to fat old hags, which is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard.
I am not saying he should've participated in her prostitution scam, I'm saying he should've proposed a much better alternative -- it's called 'marriage' for those who have never heard of it. The girl moves in with you, you provide for her -- including a soft bed, you don't just leave her on the hard floor while sleeping on the bed alone -- you have sex with an extremely attractive girl as often as you want, and everyone is happy. Also, you stop drinking and smoking because it's bad for your health and makes you bad company for your wife and upcoming children.
He has a decent job, he could support a family. There is nothing stopping him except his own cowardice. There's no way he'll ever meet a better girl who is more in need of his support and thus willing to say 'yes', ie, he'll never get another chance. And he's throwing it away and learning nothing from this miracle given to him by God. By the way if you're married it isn't illegal.
His plan of help her out until she's financially independent and then set her free may sound noble and altruistic. After all, you shouldn't take advantage of people's momentary weaknesses, right? But that's only assuming that marriage to you is some sort of 'bad end' and that women are better off single with a job. Why? Why would she be better off working at some dead end job (obviously she hasn't even graduated from high school much less college so what career prospects does she have?) than married to you and a housewife? For that matter even is she were a JAXA astronaut she'd be better off married with children, because all women are better off pursuing family over a career. It's their natural and evolved role in life and the thing they are most suited for emotionally. She will thrive there like nowhere else.
What's wrong with a co-dependent relationship? What's wrong with people needing you? If you go by the logic that no one should live with you because they need you shouldn't you throw your children out the door, even the infants? Shouldn't you throw out your pets? This is stupid. She needs you, that's a good thing. It encourages loyalty and faithfulness. A guy also needs a girl -- for sex, for children, for affection, for life's little daily kindnesses and intimacies. So that just makes you even. She needs you because you have a high paying job and she can't get one -- you need her for everything else in life. That's an equal relationship, not a brutal tyranny. You can interact with each other as lovers with self respect and dignity just fine from there. Giving her a high paying job so she doesn't need you at all and then saying 'will you freely choose to be with me now?' Uhh, no. Because now I don't need you for anything. You're useless to me. You're worthless. Why should I bother anymore? If I randomly get the urge to shack up with a guy, it won't be you anymore. I'm an attractive girl, I'll go get a doctor or lawyer or something. I can wait for Mr. Perfect, since I now have the money to live alone as long as I need to wait.
You are corrupting her into that sort of woman. Into the typical woman. A woman who doesn't need a man doesn't marry, doesn't start a family, and never becomes a woman at all. Just a soulless sucking vampire. You have this miraculous chance given to you by God to mold her into a decent woman and to be happy with her, but you choose instead to make her like everyone else and for both of you to stay miserable apart. Fail.
Seijou no Maryoku wa Bannou: This appears to be a shoujo story about a girl finding employment in the midst of a bevy of bishonen. Not really up my alley, but the art is good enough and the plot exciting enough that it passes for a first episode. If I tire of it along the way I can always drop it later. Pass.
Slime Tensei Nikki: I'm not fond of comedy spinoff side stories even for great series like World of Witches, much less mediocre ones like Slime Tensei. Fail.
Super Cub: The first anime for autistic people. Minimal sound, minimal color, virtually no dialogue. A giant empty safe space. Extremely boring for everyone but autists. Fail.
Full Dive: One of the funniest first episodes of a series I've ever seen. Showing how stupid and awful a 'fully realistic full dive VRMMORPG' would be. It's also funny how he was conned into buying the game in the first place. Nevertheless, now that we've established how awful and silly the situation is, where does it go from here? Realistically the guy should log out and never play the game again, the end. Only yet more nonsense can turn this into a multi-episode plot. It's a great start, but I continue watching only with trepidation. Pass.
Part 3 will cover the remaining debuting series.
Meanwhile, Aisya's Theme was kicked out of my music hall of fame on the 77th listen. 5476 total tunes now.
