[Spoilers] Watari-kun's xx Is about to Collapse - Episode 1 Discussion

Another season, another "romcom" where the author doesn't know how to develop likeable characters and present a wholesome story.

I'm going to give this the obligatory 3 episodes but you're right, the pacing is off, artwork stiff, characters are one-dimensional, motivations and plot... nonsensical, romance is contrived.

Thankfully we're less than a day from the second season of My Dress-up Darling and can get a more wholesome romcom to consume.

I don't know what the hell is with that weird color effect around the edges, but I don't like it.

Plot wise this feels a little too all over the place

Obligatory trashy romcom with NPC guy and somewhat chaotic girl, shame Satsuki is nowhere near as chaotic as Akane or Himari were in previous seasons

Low hanging fruit some might say but this 10 year old younger sister looks and acts like she's five... at best. It gives me the impression that the creator has never been nor seen a 10 year old in her life. Also, how would the sister remember when Satsuki, the main girl, came over. She would have been four at the oldest given the 6 year time change.

As for the show's premise, it's weird. Super weird. Specifically the main girl. I see what the show was going for, but still... it's much. Yikes.

Watari-kun's ** Is about to Collapse is just started. As usual I watched the japanese release first few hours ago then watched sub now. Looks pretty interesting to me and Satsuki might become one the best waifu of this season? Suzu also cute!

i was excited for this. i enjoyed the manga. a great first episode.

The first part of the episode reminded me about the siblings Sky of Connection

Spoiler regarding the ending to decide if you want to waste time on this:

By the time the manga ended (90 chapters) the author completely forgot about the original plot and premise and did not answer why she destroyed the garden or anything.

Absolute Midema.

Man, this episode had no pacing at all. I'm going blind for this one, but my god, everything felt so weird. The author clearly didn’t set up anything interesting. I actually love rom-coms like this, but everything just felt so awkward and off that it left no impression on me. I’ll watch one more episode to give it another shot, but it’s not looking good."

Se quiser, posso adaptar o tom para algo mais informal ou mais polido, dependendo de onde você pretende usar.

Everyone's complaints and negative remarks happen to be my positives—great first episode.

I read and finished the manga. Reread it again last month since its quite a pleasure. This adaptation didnt give it justice in terms of pacing, fucking weird ass colors and overall vibes.

i bet she is, but don't tell anyone

So if im being honest, I did read the manga while it was getting translated. Buts its been a minute since I've read it so I've forgotten like 90% of the plot. From what I remember, its alright. Its not going to blow you away. Being honest here, its prolly at best just average, I remember liking several chunks of the manga. Ik there was one arc 2/3s in the manga I thought was boring, but overall I thought it was a 7 to me. This will mostly like be forgotten very quickly since it being another highschool dumb teen romcom drama, and for the fact that its airing the same season as dress up darling, fragren flowers, and bunny girl senpai. It had no chance to stand out. But its alright.

Honestly, this is one of those cases where Ik the manga is not good enough for the anime community to talk about for a while, but I'm happy it was able to get a anime adaptation. There are plenty of great mangas that still never gotten a anime adaptation, and there are so many terrible mangas that keep getting an adaptation. But this one, Im happy it got one
