Bit the bullet and watched the first episode of season 1. It was boring as fuck btw. Also something really struck me as odd.
>Kaguya-sama
>rich as fuck, from a great extinguished family, fantastic at sports and generally everything really
>The Guy
>uhhhh well he's really good at studying!
Excuse me, what? I thought they were supposed to be equals?
They're equal in wits
So?
I agree that the first episode is not very good. I'd say it's good at episode 3 but 2 is better as well. But your other complaints are stupid.
>your other complaints are stupid
They are facts from the first episode. These two are not equals in any way. His only "advantage" over her is being a better student? That's dumb as fuck.
Like equal in retardation?
You dont have enough intelligence to watch this show. Try something different.
Okay fine. I didn't expect anyone here to be able to explain away this big gaping hole in your precious darling anime anyway.
You should at least watch the whole season, because it's clear you don't understand the characters. You know this is a seinen, right?
It doesn't get good until season 2
You should at least read my post twelve times because it's clear you don't understand the complaint. If I watch all episodes, will it be revealed that the guy is secretly just as talented and rich as the girl? I doubt it.
You watched 1 episode OP. 1 episode and you are complaining. You are expecting to know everything form just 1 episode. You are ridiculous. You are probably going to drop the show and I'm glad.
the fact that you """"bit the bullet"""" to watch this show means that you had a preconception that you wouldnt like it in the first place. No matter how great a show it was or how great the chemistry of the characters, because you base your opinion of the Zig Forumsutists here at Zig Forums, you will never like this show.
They explain why the guy (you don't even know the names of the characters) is like that. It's even explained why being good at studying is particularly important for him and for her as well.
You really are retarded if you think 1 epsiode is enough for understanding a series.
Shirogane is intelligent, the number one in his school, and the student council president. His status in the school is definitely on Kaguya's level. It's seriously not that hard to understand.
You literally weren't paying attention if you think the only reason she likes him is because he's smart.
She explicitly states multiple things.
maybe you should just stick with mindless shounens.
From what I understand every episode is like
>uhhh I love u but i cant let u know
>uhhh i love u but i cant let u know
>hahahaha i trick u
>oh no! but i trick u back lmao
>oh no! hahahaha i trick u
>oh no! but i trick u back lmao
>oh no! hahahaha i trick u
The thing is that prez is constantly overworked and sleep-deprived becuase he works part-time and studies all his free time. Kaguya is the 'natural talent and rich family' girl who doesn't basically put extra effort in to keep her status.
In japanese schools grades are more important than in your average american school where those who get good grrades are regarded as nerds.
And kaguya is not attracted to his intelligence but to the bags undes his eyes from sleep deprivation
Equal in prestige in the student body, idiot. Were you not paying attention?
Kaguya was the rich kid good at everything, and then some nobody poorfag shows up out of nowhere and beats her in all the tests and gets popular enough to win the student council election. Caused his fame to immediately shoot up to Kaguya's level.
>being a student council president is the same as being from the richest family in the world, having won several awards and so on
No it isn't.
>From what I understand
But you clearly don't understand bud.
Also, you watched only the first episode.
His sleep-deprived eyes are p. hawt I have to agree, my man.
>>His status in the school
Read the whole post. I'm not even the user who made it, but I can read
It's basically a comedy show at first but then it develops the romance
But money is not at same level at japanese schools as grades are. You are judging this with your american standards
School isn't everything.
No, I'm judging this with my worldwide standards. A student council president isn't worth shit to a incredibly rich person that's also great at literally everything. Japan, please get with the times.
while i agree the comparison isn't right, but there is truth in it.
he's a top student and the highest tier of the student caste, in one of the most prestigious schools. At that point it doesn't matter that he doesn't have a family like kaguya or chaki. If anything he's more admirable and desirable for putting in so much work to get there and stay there.
It's part of the premise of the show, Miyuki doesn't feel like he can ask her out because he's a peon and she's super rich, and kaguya thinks she'll be looked down upon by her parents/high society if she asks out a poor, so they are each trying to get each-other to ask the other out.
This demands that I ignore everything outside the school, even though they presented Kaguya-sama like this.
>The Guy
>uhhhh well he's really good at studying!
He's not even that good at studying and has to practically kill himself just to keep the #1 spot. His mom even left him and his family because he was dumb.
This is a show made for japanes people, not the whole world and especially not for you.
>School isn't everything
They are competing in a school. They are not equal outside it, but inside it they are. They are kids, retard.
I don't know how you managed to live till now since it's clear you don't understand anything. Kys
>and kaguya thinks she'll be looked down upon by her parents/high society if she asks out a poor,
is that actually canon though?
The whole premise of the mind games is they have a warped sense of how the other will react if they confess and they don't want to tilt the power system one way because of it.
It would honestly be a much more interesting premise to have The Guy (wtf is his name even?) be a working class regular Joe.
Japan needs to isolate themselves already. Christ they're so dumb. Dumbest country in the world. Get with the times, Japan! Please!
It's the hard work vs. genius setup
He wants to prove that work can overcome talent
but they're retarded
>is that actually canon though?
Yes, you would know that if you watched more than just one episode before complaining
>It would honestly be a much more interesting premise to have The Guy (wtf is his name even?) be a working class regular Joe.
he literally is though.
holy fuck man, how are you this retarded?
He's a guy who came from nothing and somehow manages to beat her in academic achievement
But it can't. If both put in the same amount of effort Kaguya would win every single time in every single respect.
>he literally is though.
He sure as hell isn't. Regular Joes aren't school council presidents. They drive a truck and belch loudly.
But not in any other achievement. She's not even doing bad in school. She's, what, the number two best student I guess? Wow. Big whoop what a difference in prestige!
>Yes, you would know that if you watched more than just one episode before complaining
I'm not OP and i've seen season 1.
I don't remember it ever being mentioned she's scared of social ridicule especially given her relationship with her father. It was always the what if possibility of being bullied by miyuki
>He sure as hell isn't. Regular Joes aren't school council presidents. They drive a truck and belch loudly.
>the only type of "regular joe" is white trash
Just stick with NASCAR m8, it's more your speed.
>The whole premise of the mind games is they have a warped sense of how the other will react if they confess and they don't want to tilt the power system one way because of it.
that's a fair interpretation however the reasons I listed are mentioned in the show if you keep watching it. - Also kaguya and miyuki are super nervous about asking each-other out (which probably is the main reason and they are just using the status thing as a cope).
But the thing is kaguya doesn't.
Talent can only get you so far, after that it's work.
The high iq geniuses who think they don't have to do anything usually don't achieve anything.
The only reason Shirogane even is where he is right now is because the previous administration took pity on him. He's literally thriving on pity. Vs Kaguya's "amazing at everything without even really trying" shtick. When the fuck did radical feminism infest Japan?
He would be a regular joe and not a student council president if he put in the same effort as kaguya.
But instead he works like hell and that's why he is the student council prez
If he was truly thriving on pity he wouldn't be top of the school. He works like hell to maintain his position
i've seen season 1, as i already said >202968600
please post a screenshot mentioning her fear of social ridicule. Because unless it was something they cut from the manga (which i admit i have not read), I don't remember that ever being the case.
Then re-watch the season because you missed an episode. There literally an episode were they show you the principles of the Shinomiya family.
>extinguished
>>Kaguya-sama
>>rich as fuck, from a great extinguished family, fantastic at sports and generally everything really
>>The Guy
>>uhhhh well he's really good at studying!
>Excuse me, what? I thought they were supposed to be equals?
Read the manga you dolt
Or in Japan's case, they're outside working the fields or driving a fishing boat.
But the only REASON he's at the top is because the previous administration literally gave him a "how-to" guide.
>u have to read the manga to understand the anime bro
That's really dumb. No thank you, bro.
>no poors allowed
>but he can come over to our house
>and your room
nah man, i think you're extrapolating and making head-canon.
Feel free to prove me wrong with an explicit account from kaguya though. Because for something as important as that, she never brings it up once.
>That's really dumb.
Just like (you)
not the guy you were replying too but it's definitely in there. Pretty sure it's in the first few episodes where they are giving an overview of the characters, I can't be assed to go through them to spoonfeed you speedwatcher-kun.
>nah man, i think you're extrapolating and making head-canon
Please, at least pay attention. It was even in the anime
>premise is dumb and filled with holes
>i point them out
>suddenly the big loser kaguya-sama defence force rush into the thread
It's really dumb, bro. Nobody has managed to explain the dumbness of the plot yet. I can only assume it's because you're all dumb.
>N-no you!
wow
What a dumb comeback.
