If ‘she’ was beautiful, why do I want to run and hide?

Impressions:

Yawn. Yet another "antisocial girl learns to come out of her shell through the help of some random penis" show. I’ve only seen this premise seventy thousand times before. At least Noto’s not voicing the shy lead this time. The only vague twists on this formula are the ugly art style, the crossdressing male lead, and the pack of fashion-hating shrill harpies that substitute for her friends. Otherwise, you’ve got most of the other bad cliche that comes with the formula including but not limited to constant self-narration and a single bizarre character quirk that draws the two together initially but will then be almost certainly forgotten within 3 episodes.

I’ll probably never really understand the appeal of these completely helpless characters. They’re about as bad as the spineless male leads, only actually have a vagina instead of just being one. Given that she consumes about 95% of the screen time and I hate her already, that’s not a good sign. I think Jumpsuit’s spastic background couch humping and constant yelling may have edged her out for the most irritating character in this show though. Regardless, there really shouldn’t have been a competition in the first place.

If you eat this kind of stuff up, then I have absolutely no idea why you’re visiting this blog because we would probably have to fight to the death if we ever met. Very little of this even threatened to crack a smile, let alone intrigue me enough to continue. Judging by other popular shows of this archetype though (Reaching You comes to mind), I’d say it’s worse than that due to its janky art and more irritating characters. How much worse? I have no idea. I don’t know what makes these shows tick and frankly, ignorance is bliss.
