Gakusen Toshi Asterisk

I'm convinced this guy legitimately has autism.

He wants to find his sister. Ain't nothing wrong with that.

He forgets about her for 20 episodes out of 24.

I would nut in him, no homo.

When you think about it he really was girly as hell.

To be fair, he mentions Haruka on several occasions in the novels, which is to remind us one of his motivations. The anime skipped most of it. Probably the most notable reminder in the anime is from a.pomf.cat/pmfvqy.webm

Lack of motivation is not even the main problem with him. Guy is incredibly bland. Half of the stuff he does contradicts the other half. He has weird mood and motivation swings. He really acts like he was autistic.

He is somewhat bland, but not too bad for a harem MC. I don't recall contradictions in what he has done though. If you watch only the anime then I can understand why he doesn't appear all that driven to search for his sister. He got inspired by Julis and wants to help her in part to honor his sister who took care of him and protected him with her strength, so he will do the same. That sorta became the more important reason that drove him to join up with her.

He's the blandest pile of harem protagonist tropes imaginable. Still not as bad as Onii-sama or Hagure Yuusha MC, but he's terrible.

>Hagure Yuusha MC
>Bad
You philistine.

One of the worst harems ever made.

>that QUALITY
>muh badass perverted alpha

End your pathetic existence.

I don't think he's that bad at all.
>doesn't 'like Onii-sama
But I guess we can't be friends.

That explains it. People who don't mind Ayato are gray stu loving faggots.

Is season 2 BD out yet?

>Ayato
>Gary Stu

I think you're forgetting about Kirin.
>literally the youngest relevant character
>doesn't even use a Lux/Ogre Lux, just a glorious thousand-folded katana
>flatout beats everyone in the school repeatedly with pure sword skill

No.

Last LN volume she beat a guy Ayato couldn't after awakening her mystic eyes. And then they gave her Ogre Lux. But Ayato really is a terrible Gary Stu in the part that got animated.

Anyways, how is it possible that this girl gets so few roles and usually as side characters?

She's amazing.

Is this the most autistic Sup Forums related thing on youtube?

Ayato had to use tricks to beat her
He cant do it with just sword fighting

It's kind of funny when you realize that if she had his cut anything Lux she would cut the robot dude to pieces in their fight.

Fuck off Digishill

The only thing he was right about is Ayato being shit. Most of his other points make no sense.

Care to elaborate on that ?

That shit is like 4 hours long. I'm not going to be addressing all that. But half of the shit he complains about is explained in the show and other half is something you could nitpick about almost every movie/TV series ever made.

She would make a better MC than Ayato.

An example of something exmplained on the show that he complains about?

>almost every movie/TV series ever made.

Dont you mean almost every bad movie/TV series ever made.

Wow such a bold claim!
I am sure you also have evidence to back it up

You can find hilarious plot holes even in the most popular movies.

He spergs about holo browsers for one entire episode when their uniforms have glowing green things since episode one.

Or asks why they are not murdering each other in the street when they obviously have rules preventing that.

>popular=not bad

Are you literally retarded

The guy who makes 4h long video trying to find every possible flaw in some generic harem of the season is the retard here.

His vid about Ayato is right but that's about it.

>Wanting a wimpy cuck as an mc

>anime reviews

It's not like there is good middle ground or something.

And Ayato pretends to be alpha while he does everything every girl tells him to.

I want anime about them.

Julis a shit.

>someone on youtube says an anime is bad
>suddenly fanboys of that anime refuse to accept any criticism of their bad show from then on because they will just claim anyone who doesn't like it MUST just be parroting the youtuber

Nah

It's kind of silly ain't it? I always thought the series was boring as shit.

Dude nobody is saying that this show is great. It's crap like the entire genre. But Digibro went full autism with it. It's one of the better generic harems.

>It's one of the better generic harems.
I'd even argue against this. I felt that the only reason it was memorable because it got 2 planned cours right off the bat. I found AB, Rakudai, World Break, IS, Blade Dance, and Shinmai more appealing than this. The only worse example is Bahamut

AB second half was absolute garbage so just no. IS had some fun episodes but overall it was worse and S2 is a travesty.

I found Asterisk's entire first half to be boring as all hell while some parts at the start of its 2nd cour were okay but quickly reverted to being dumb again. I won't defend IS at all though.

Asterisk is definitely slower than most and there is no some grand plot about saving the world or anything. No obvious big bad. No obvious evil organizations.

It's just different. Setting had a lot of potential and it's a shame it was so criminally underused.

>It's just different. Setting had a lot of potential and it's a shame it was so criminally underused.
I guess a disappointment and underusage of its setting is its biggest crime. While I didn't expect anything, they just cashed in on the same tropes and generic character set ups.

Absolute Duo had one amazing girl but other than that it was probably the worst harem in recent memory. That entire final battle is like some parody.

Supposedly it gets much better in later volumes. But we'll likely never know.

Mahou Sensou, Bahamut, and Hundred felt worse to me. Mahou Sensou needs no introduction while Bahamut angered me at every turn. Hundred in particular just angered me for some reason while AB did the same thing but somehow i didn't come to hate it as much. Probably the art.
Whatever the case, the anime has killed any and all intent to read the series.

>2 Cour
>0 QUALITY
>Foreign music
>advertised like hell
Ayato's real superpower is making shows bomb when they couldn't possibly bomb. Next time they should've just gender bent the entire thing if they wanted this to have a chance of selling.

>the anime has killed any and all intent to read the series

Novels sold like 200k last year. Last volume did okay. And there is a yuri spin-off that just had second volume recently. We'll probably see more of Asterisk in the future. LN with 5k sales are getting adaptations.

>Foreign music

Music in this shit was ridiculously good.

youtube.com/watch?v=sE4053M485k

Valvrape and Guilty crap also failed despite turbo shilling everywhere. But yeah, remove Ayato and add some more fanservice like that pool episode and it would do much better.

If we do, I just want more All Girl's School. Sasuga Japan to focus on the most boring academy.

That yuri spin-off happens there. And micro-bikini blonde appears in it. She becomes a student of chinese super loli's secret school.

I'm aware of the spin-off. I just didn't know she went off and joined the other school.

She didn't. That school is secret and not related to big chinese school. Juris actually also joined it last volume since she's crazy about power to defeat Orphelia. And Ayato fucked off to his home for now.

This chick was so good.

>And Ayato fucked off to his home for now.
I like the spin-off already. Yukarin being relevant again makes me happy too.

Ayato going away happened in main series. He lost interest in Festas after Onee-chan woke up.

So is he unchained now or is sister still holding his leash?

Completely unchained.

So sword Jesus?

Nah. Two guys in Gryps Festa were still stronger and Kirin soloed one of them. Ayato gary stu crap is pretty much gone. Author probably realized it was dragging the series down.

I liked how it tried to make Ayato the ultimate badass yet all the coolest moments of the series were with Kirin. Male leads were a mistake.

Needs more best girl in here.

>when you are a great girl stuck in haremshit

>/u/shits watching harem shows
Never will understand you subhumans

Why do you think they make yuri spin-off of every at least minimally popular harem?

What the fuck am I watching?

Why would anyone who hates males with a passion watch these in the first place

What, you think yurifags burst in flames when they see a male? Harem shows have a bunch of cute girls and guy is usually so bland you can pretend he's not even there.

They dont?
Why not just watch a girls only show, then you dont have to make countless threads complaining about a male MC attracting girls even though hes "bland"

Why not watch both?

>then you dont have to make countless threads complaining about a male MC attracting girls even though hes "bland"

True best girls.

Ah yes, they used Aoi Yuuki for some announcer didn't they?

Yes the one on the right, the other one was voiced by Taketatsu.

It really is a shame this turned out to be a failure. It has some top tier girls.

Okay.

They should've introduced her much earlier.

Shit Taste as Fuck

You are shit
Charlotte was a fucking shit

I actually really liked Asterisk and I acknowledge its complete garbage. Its one of my favorites and I wish I could read the LNs.

What does this mean?

>QUALITY
>2012
Still better than Konosuba

Doesn't bakatsuki have a good chunk of the LNs downloaded?
