Here is a full version with my play-by-play: Nonsense, right? Well the conversation is slightly longer but boils down to exactly that. Person B: “That means there is another person also trapped in the same loop.” Person A: “I’m trapped in a day-long time loop.” Here is a conversation between two characters: This is also better explained with an example. That’s not my point, pseudo-science is just a particular case of a bigger problem of nothing making sense. That is, dumb and cringy “is math related to science?” level of quantum mechanics understanding. Aobuta has supernatural phenomena explained with quantum mechanics. Monogatari has supernatural phenomena explained with ghosts. Kirito from SAO is a better protagonist, at least that guy farmed levels or something.ģ. He beats a jock twice his size in a fist fight by “outsmarting” him, nevermind a gang of jock’s friends standing there doing nothing. When some dumb females give him shit he just says “begone thot!” and they run away in shame, defeated by his awesomeness. The MC is supposedly antisocial pariah, but he has social skills and confidence of a god. Being a talentless hack he is, the writer of Aobuta couldn’t do anything but write this trope completely straight. an awkward teenager who has trouble socializing. Hachiman from Oregairu is another take - he is also real, i.

Araragi from Monogatari looks like one - until he isn’t, because writing anime cliches as complex real people is what that series does. There is a certain trope familiar to most anime watchers - “badass loner”, aka “Gary Stu”, aka “Self-insert Jesus-kun”, aka “literally me”. You see, in Monogatari heroines have animal leitmotifs, and that got copypasted - except the writer couldn’t think of any actual reason for this inside the story, so it’s just an awkward non sequitur, sitting there, doing nothing except making the title stupid - and there are many other examples like that.Ģ. for approximately 15 seconds that basically amount to nothing plot-wise. Well, the title comes from the female lead wearing a bunny-girl suit. The best example is the show's title - it’s terrible for marketing purposes because it made many people believe this is going to be some ecchi harem.

Primitive surface-level copying results in nonsense. Something called “stupidity” manifests in multiple aspects of this story making it impossible to enjoy. Well, one might ask, wouldn’t a carbon copy of a good series also be good? No, because there is another element in play - the author is a talentless hack. If you’ve seen Monogatari before, you might get a kick out of spotting entire scenes and minute-long dialogues meticulously copypasted word-for-word (don’t make it a drinking game, you’ll die) but there really isn’t much point in doing that over an actual rewatch, because production values are not as good as Studio SHAFT. to sue (and it baffles me that they didn’t). Comparing it to the famous cases of literary plagiarism ruled by court (Like Harry Potter’s rip-off called Tanya Grotter), it would 100% be ruled a copyright infringement if Nisio Isin/Kodansha ever bothered No - it’s an unbelievably blatant plagiarism, it steals everything from Monogatari, and I mean EVERYTHING, except for a couple of elements stolen from Oregairu and Haruhi instead. There is going to be a lot of mentions of Monogatari series in the review, because you need to understand that this series is not just similar, or inspired, or derivative. Raskal Does Not Dream of Copyright Infringement THIS REVIEW CONTAINS NON-CRUCIAL SPOILERS FROM ONE EARLY EPISODE As Sakuta tries to help Mai through her predicament, his actions bring him into contact with more girls afflicted with the elusive disease. Despite the getup, no one seems to notice her, and after confronting her, he realizes that she is another victim of Puberty Syndrome. With an air of unapproachability, she is well known throughout the school, but none dare interact with her-that is until Sakuta sees her wandering the library in a bunny girl costume. Mai Sakurajima is a third-year high school student who gained fame in her youth as a child actress, but recently halted her promising career for reasons unknown to the public. However, high school student Sakuta Azusagawa knows from personal experience that it is very much real, and happens to be quite prevalent in his school.

It is a rare disease which only affects teenagers, and its symptoms are so supernatural that hardly anyone recognizes it as a legitimate occurrence. The rare and inexplicable Puberty Syndrome is thought of as a myth.
