Clearly.

Now, do you know if B Gata H Kei- Yamada's First Yime is decent enough to watch? And by decent I mean if it's worth watching.

I love this anime.

But the awful singing and the coughing because she can't hit the note just make this fucking closing theme amazing.

I've heard of it, but I wouldn't know from experience as I haven't watched it (I don't usually read 4-panel mangas). I've heard mixed stuff about it though. Some tell me it's an enjoyable comedy that portrays how teenagers focus too much on sex, others have told me it simply amounts to generic, shameless fanservice.

I say just watch an episode or two and see for yourself. :p
"The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."—former Nixon domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman

Now that I ponder it a bit more, Heaven's Lost Property and DearS are very similar. Very much so. Only difference is that Ikaros is an angel pet and Ren comes from an alien slave society. Other than that, they bear a lot of similarities when it comes to the main female characters.

Japan is weird when it comes to women.

Though, really, I've yet to find a country that isn't weird when it comes to women.

It's a pretty funny anime overall as far as I'm concerned, but it's nothing great. So "decent enough to watch" is an adequate description.
I'm female, so please remember to say "she" or "her" when referring to me.

You know...

I wonder how people would react if WataMote was about a guy.

I'd probably be MORE depressed.

That's because ecchi is effectively banking on using sex appeal to sell the same story, in the same setting, with the same characters, as many times as possible. The characters' appearances may change a bit, but that's the extent of the changes to be expected. As long as the audience understands full well that what they're buying is the anime equivalent of junk food, there's no harm done. But it is the anime equivalent of junk food, and should be consumed sparingly and as part of a balanced anime diet.

Ikaros..
Ren.


Needless to say, it's the whole "pet woman" trope. Methinks both were inspired by Ah! My Goddess, which I hear is actually good... I doubt that, but whatever. I fucking hate that subgenre's become so goddamn popular. No wonder they had to make WataMote to snap people out of this shit.

Ah! Megami-sama had it's moments, plus the female characters (I don't know if Belledandy fits) of Urd and Skull were actually strong, not helpless. But it isn't an anime I would call excellent. It had it's funny moments.

The pet women anime, I don't know why it holds such an appeal. I mean, ok, you watch one anime with that trope. Fine. But can you really subject yourself to watching the same plot, over and over? Won't you tire of it? It's like eating steak with fries. You like it, but if you eat it everyday, you just grow tired and bored with it, regardless of your tastes.

No, I wouldn't. She's a creepy weaboo with absolutely nothing to like about her. That's why I dropped the manga after 4 chapters.
