This latest episode pissed me off so much I have to vent. Not only does this dude watch his childhood friend get beat up AGAIN and he does NOTHING again. The only reason he fights is because of a girl who has rejected him in almost every single episode. Absolutely disappointing. It would have been so much cooler if he got up and fought because he saw his friend get beat up again and doesn't want to make the same mistake but I guess that's asking too much from this trashcan.

Well, it's an original anime, so I have no clue. But the fact that he avoids his so called childhood friend probably is related to a past trauma. I'm not defending him or anything, but let's see how this goes

Understandable, but while that might've felt good, it also would have been somewhat predictable and "easy".

What annoys me is not that Arajin failed to help his friend, it's that he didn't even want to. If he wanted to join in but was too terrified to move, or if he actively refused to join in the fight, I would have respected and liked him more. But he instead just sits around and looks away.

He has absolutely no other redeeming qualities, which is another thing that annoys me. He wants to lose his virginity (with Mahoro-chan, I think?) and he doesn't want anything to do with his friend or this delinquent business. There's nothing else, even as a distraction.

He's embarrassed and constantly irritated by his mother. What if he actually tried to be a good son? We could've gone, "huh, he's a nice guy at home." Or what if he had some sort of bond with the teacher? Maybe there's some hobby he's good at?

As it stands, the best we can do is to just ignore him or laugh at him, whichever's easier at any given moment. And just enjoy the craziness and the art.

well, arajin was trash, and u put now that he is trash, well its well known. But at least in the last episode, he didn't overeact over mahoro in the end and helped his friend. Tho the most reason is mahoro, but this episode felt a little different. Like, it's not only mahoro chan that motivated him up. it's the others. I kinda liked him after he helped his friend to carry him. I think he changed a bit even tho he was trash friend until after this last battle. And mahoro chan actually was impressed for a sec.

saying arajin is a bitch is like saying the sky is blue .. this was especially bad because as you said he left his childhood friend that actually cares for him and protected this werid ass girl
and i think what's pissing me off is the fact that their kinda trying to make the girl actually fall in love with him which is .. vomit inducing. the mysterious ichiya senya relationship and the other side characters (except for the girl) and especially marito , ken and shindo plus matakara's brother return (hopefully in this season) are the only things keeping me continuing watching these episodes ☠️

@alfsta Not taken seriously? Dude was literally ripping people to shreds what is funny about that? And MC literally just watched his friend(s) get practically obliterated and only fought for a girl that doesn't even like him? How is that defensible?

brother u need to chill out 😭 the anime has been silly, dumb stuff from the beginning its not deep at all. if u dont like the character thats fine but the anime clearly isnt designed to be taken seriously. arajins entire goal is to lose his virginity like cmon. hes not meant to be likeable hes meant to be laughable due to all the dumb, bad decisions he makes.

@alfsta I mean you can laugh at him if you want but it won't change the fact that he sat there crying while people were getting slaughtered and only showed up for a girl. I mean if you find that funny, then you've got a problem.

idk why ur taking it so seriously man like its literally anime like what are u talking about😭 its not real life like sure if that happened irl it'd be pretty messed up but its clearly not that deep in an ANIME. like i havent even seen 100 anime yet and even i know that its pretty damn tame compared to what a lot of anime has to offer especially when its clearly meant to be a silly, comedic anime. but im not gonna try argue my point anymore. if u wanna continue taking everything so seriously then go ahead. go check the animes page its literally a comedy lol.

he knows what is real and what isn't ☠️ he's just stating the obvious this isn't really comedy it was supposed to be a serious moment which is why it's really bad not saying the ANIME is bad , the mc is just a loser. and if you saw other worse shows that does not matter ☠️ it doesn't change from the fact that this was bad and i think he's allowed to have an opinion as far as I'm concerned

my guy the main tag is literally comedy. all im saying is ur all taking it way too seriously. this serious moment ur talking about doesnt exist as the anime just isnt meant to be taken seriously. honestly i thought this was simply obvious and im actually surprised i have to explain this to ppl. since the very first episode its never tried to be anything deep. just relax and enjoy the silliness.

I think that we as viewers aren’t supposed to like Arajin because of how much of a wishy-washy, selfish, and spineless person he is.

With this last episode, we are seeing him make less selfish decisions and take the first step to becoming a better person.

I think it is very fascinating character development.

Yeah I don’t know how ppl don’t see that like ofc Arajin is not a good friend but we still have to see why he acts like that towards Matakara and I feel like that will get reveal as the episodes get released, it would suck if everything was explained in episode 1 or some shit yk💀

I've only seen first two episodes, and I already hate this Arajin guy.

In-fact, the whole anime is written by someone who can't write good characters because there isn't a single character so far worth rooting for. Either the characters are just written to be "evil" or just plain fucking stupid (his "friend").

I don't even need to talk about the ADD editing or terrible sound design. Only art is good, everything else is trash. But the art is also why it's being given high rating. Apparently that's all you need to be a "good" anime.



PS: The MC is as bad as the unlikable P.O.S MC from Re:Zero, another overhyped anime.

Ain't he just that type of guy tho? I think Japanese manga guys are mostly like that, since I've seen thousands of manga guys will do anything to not be a virgin. I think in Japan, it's just embarrassing to be a virgin at that age.

It would be really difficult to make a protagonist that is more hateable. If you made a protag thats a worse person, it'd be funny or interesting, if you made a better person it'd be worth rooting for, but he sits in the exact perfect middle ground of too pathetic to root for and too bland and annoying to fail hilariously. Like, kazuma from konosuba is a bad person with some redeeming traits and he makes a great protag in the same style but this one is just so awful. It's truly an achievement of writing to make a character so unlikeable. People have complained about mineta or zenitsu but this guy is somehow even worse and a protag to boot.

Idc if he ends up being the best protag ever, it'd be really hard to justify having to watch him for this long.
