Through a series of stupid contrivances I don’t care enough to criticize, Marin and Gojo, the protagonist, meet and begin working together on cosplay.

It’s that her character combines otherwise realistic traits which just don’t fit together at all. It’s not that her personality exists outside the bounds of reality. I don’t BELIEVE a person like this could exist in this way.

But this is where I think the debate misses the point. She’s the Manic Pixie Dream Girl trope executed right down to the letter, and viewers with too much critical thinking to buy into shit that feels this fake proceed to complain about how it throws any semblance of realism out the window, bending over backward to force this ridiculous wish-fulfillment fantasy that, in their minds, could never happen in real life.

This show has reinvigorated a certain debate which the anime community just can’t seem to resolve, and this is the debate over realism. It’s finally time for the incel/femcel review. Well…I’m honestly shocked it took me four and a half years of writing reviews to hit rock bottom, but it finally happened. Because her sewing skills are pitiable, she decides to enlist his help.Īs Gojou and Kitagawa work together on one cosplay outfit after another, they cannot help but grow close-even though their lives are worlds apart.

However, the unimaginable happens when Kitagawa discovers Gojou's prowess with a sewing machine and brightly confesses to him about her own hobby: cosplay. It would defy common sense for the friendless Gojou to mix with the likes of Kitagawa, who is always surrounded by her peers. Nonetheless, he goes to great lengths to keep his unique hobby a secret, as he believes that he would be ridiculed were it revealed.Įnter Marin Kitagawa, an extraordinarily pretty girl whose confidence and poise are in stark contrast to Gojou's meekness. While his fellow teenagers busy themselves with pop culture, Gojou finds bliss in sewing clothes for his dolls.
