Here are the North American anime & manga releases for June Week 1: June 6 – 12 Anime Releases Ajin (incl. Part 1: Shoudou) Blu-ray & DVD Combo Limited Editi…

I’m not really going to analyze the deep specifics of what they could or couldn’t have done since that’s an endless rabbit hole that leads anywhere you want it to. The key is that they added a scene that wasn’t there for the express purpose of using a well-known (and popular) anime trope, completely missing the fact that what sets this show apart (pretty much the ONLY thing that sets this show apart) is its general avoidance of the exact sort of trope that the staff added in of their own volition.

@kylan Reyn; Im pretty sure it is nothing as the show still shows how much stella’s affection for ikki doesnt prevent her from attempting to display it outwardly towards him. While Rakudai does things with a slight spin, i wouldnt say it subverts tropes in the way one would typically define the word. However it doesnt beat around the bush nor does it get too hampered in its tropes and i think that’s the best way to describe what Rakudai does.

I basically agree, but I would also say that since beating around the bush is pretty much the single most important trope of nearly all anime romance, not reading around the bush is perhaps one of the largest trope subversions I’ve ever seen in an anime.

haha yea i guess but when you see this same scenario 1000 times in 1000 different anime, it just stops being funny and becomes lazy. Rakudai, as generic as it is, should do it’s best to avoid generic execution as well, otherwise it becomes a completely generic series with no real value

Everything about standard anime romance tropes are ‘meant to be funny.’ Tsundere, weak leads, stuttering, misunderstandings, harems, and so on. They’re not there to attack us. They’re there to be entertaining. And they’re old. Even a good joke, if told 100 times, becomes a bad joke.

The slap and loose bikini scenes were anime-original, but the bath scene is in the novel. The chapter ends with Stella

Which is not an ecchi anime by a long shot. Those harem protags are the one who suffered a the most in holding their libido when every girls and fate pushed them into “unfortunate moments”, yet they almost never actually going all the way, even off screen…

I just read the manga version of this scene, and while I don’t know if it’s the same in the LN, the whole top falling off/slap thing just doesn’t happen in the manga. So it is a bit frustrating to see it in the anime. When the primary selling point of this anime is how it subverts standard anime tropes regarding this sort of relationship, having the anime staff ADD THOSE BACK IN is very concerning.

Anime – Stella’s training to control her powers – at least Silver Link realized that there wasn’t enough emphasis on her efforts last week:
