Finally got to this classic in my backlog. I never realized how crazy some of these 90s anime really were. I need to issue a formal apology to the protagonist of Rent-A-Girlfriend, that man is 1000x more decisive and a much better human than the piece of shit protagonist in this show. It got better near the end but this dude was so awkward and retarded at so many moments it hurt to watch. He really doesn't deserve Urara.
Doubt most people have even watched this anime.
>>285193801Damn I haven't watched it, but to say Kazuya is better...Could you give some examples of how the MC there is worse?
>>285193801>>285194796A shittier protagonist than Kazuya is quite a claim, I'd like to know more
I'm surprised that old abortion ever got dug up.
>>285195296It's a really bad anime but it's also really good. One of those anime you need to watch so you can appreciate the good stuff today
>>285194796>>285194931He fails all his entrance exams, meets a girl while taking his entrance exams that pretends to like him so he lies and says he is a student at that school and frauds like he is there. All the time he has a girl that knew him when they were kids that dressed up as a call girl before he took the exam to cheer him up and he rejects her.Also the dude is 1000x more indecisive than Kazuya. Said girl that actually likes him he ends up just abusing her, when he finds out she likes her he thinks she's loose and tries to rape her. Then only feels bad when he finds out she's a virgin. There's just so much absurdity to the series that I recommend everyone watch it just to understand what ACTUAL terrible protagonists look like.
>>285193801I have not seen that show in decades. When I first got into anime I would go to the store and just buy random DVDs that looked interesting. I remember buying Sakura Diaries and Haunted Junction at the same time and I remember enjoying them both but was also like 15 and liked any anime with a cute girl.I know what I am going to watch tonight, thanks for the memories anon.
>>285195693No problem. Tell us what you think after
>>285195497So basically he is a pervert indecisive asshole that ignored a likely 11/10 girl that loved him from the start just because he thought she was slutty.Did he at lesst ended up with her? Or he did the whole almost-rape and taking her virginity just to dump her for another girl?
>>285195497>>285193801WTF?I googled it up and wikipedia unusually had a very good summary of everything.Is this for real?
>>285195899I am ten minutes into the first episode and I can't believe how contrived this is. I can see why I enjoyed it as a teenager and there is something nice to it even now.Its not good mind you its absolute garbage but i like garbage. so yeah i am going to finish up at least an episode or two tonight.
>>285196649It was a classic back in the day so that doesn't surprise me.
He really is an asshole. He has a cute girl giving him food and his parents want him to take over their hotel and all he can think about is trying to get into a school that he is too stupid for.He horrible nature is infuriating.
>>285196572You have to watch the series to find out. It's all of 12 episodes so you should be able to watch the whole thing tonight if you wanted. >>285196661Yup. The anime is actual garbage but enjoyable garbage. Not everything has to be a masterpiece.
>>285196838Correct. I read a comment saying him failing all his exams makes perfect sense since dude is an actual retard. He makes so many bad decisions and it's obvious that even the cram student that had to repeat 3 times has more common sense than this dude.
>>285196932>since dude is an actual retardKnowing that even I could be don juan if I were to find myself in his shoes, I think that is why the show is so charming. remember anons if a cute girl offers you a boxed lunch just be nice and say thank you.
>>285197038Beta males in anime go back forever but the guy is SO bad that even most of the KHHV watching the show can go "well at least I'm not THAT pathetic" and there's value in that.
>>285195693Haunted Junction was great
>>285193801Man, I remember scouring the internet for sauce and moar of this ad when I was younger, and being disappointed by the actual artstyle in screenshots. Now the nostalgia goggles do nothing even for the promo art.>>285196649Jesus.
>>285197359It's because of saturation. Nowadays hot anime titties are everywhere so you don't even care about them now.
I remember people on message boards back in the day recommending this anime. Is it worth watching?
>>285196649Watching it now. This must be the manga because this show moves slow af.
>>285196649bro I watch anime rather than western tv to get away from shit like this
>>285198378Continue to read the story:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sakura_DiariesIt somehow gets even worse and no I'm not kidding
>>285198533
>>285194796People who bitch about Kazuya never had to live through the wasteland of late 90s early 2000s romcom protagonists. There's a reason School Days was memed as "Man-koto" on 4chan. It was the first time in ten years a dude took action before the last episode of a series.
>>285196649>The incense is actually speed lmao that caught me off guard, this sounds like a crazy trainwreck. picked up
>>285197359U-jin was mostly known for h-doujins and many of his works being turned into h-anime, but even in many of them he tried to write stories. Sakura Diaries was his first chance to do something non-hentai (but still pretty smutty in places). I honestly believe he took it down train-wreck territory because he knew his manga wasn't going to last much longer and he was trying to shake shit up. It didn't work. The anime never gets to the most off-the wall shit of the manga.
>>285199361>Makoto was the first time in ten years a dude took action before the last episode of a seriesI won´t tolerate this slander from Takayuki Narumi of Rumbling Hearts/Kiminozo
I mean, at least the MC of Sakura Diaries didn´t wasted TWENTY SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS in CHORIZOSo, Inaba > Kazuya
>>285200232is it seriously that muchI'm afraid that story is teaching young men to be pathetic retards
>>285193801I must apologize to Kazusa, I didn't know better.
>>285199361It was also nice to see someone in anime actually clap some cheeks for once
>>285196649What the fuck
Aren’t they cousin?
>>285198378>>285203606>>285199471>>285196814>>285197359Sounds "interesting", though I would say Kazuya and Touma (MC in OP pic) truly are like in complete different categories about shitty MCs.Someone around named Makoto from School Days, and yeah, Touma is more similar to Makoto than Kazuya.Dude quite literally goes the whole series until almost the very end fucking any girl that cross his way to the point he probably has a bodycount of over a dozen different girls. And most of the problems in his life seem to come from the fact he can't keep it in his pants.Apparently the very end of the series is about Touma running up and down some stairs a thousand times to try and make Urara, main girl and his slutty looking cousin, forgive him for basically cheating on her AGAIN.
>>285199361I think the main complaints about Kazuya are generally rooted in the fact that he is essentially bankrupting himself to fund the lifestyle of a prostitute he doesn't even get to sleep with and over whom he has masterbated on the thought of having sex with other menIt isn't hate based on him being a bad person, but a PATHETIC one.
>>285195417Does the anime cover the whole manga? I remember being quite difficult getting your hand on the scans but damn was it entertaining, it's basically a telenovela crossed with torture porn, on how much punishment the whole world rains on those two poor bastards.Actually, I believe I didnt even finished this. Any site where you can read the whole thing?
>>285207235According to my quick search:>Anime adapts 2 out of 20 manga volumes>English scanlation up to volume 15>Spanish scanlation is complete
>>285207235>>285207642Oh, and raws available on nyaa.
>>285207083Eh Im not one to kink shame anybody.Is this the one about the tailor and the cosplayer? Or something like that.
>>285196649kek, saved.sounds like oniisama on drugs.
bumpity bump
>>285194179it was on latinoamerica cable tv
>>285207083no
>>285193801I remember this show for its chill OP:https://youtu.be/_PGAUpcRJoI
>>285196649alright, picked up
>Literal cute friend with a nice ass>Tries to rape herWhat an shit show with a terrible MC.>>285212263OP is nice yes, very guard-dropping, making you think it's gonna be a cute romcom with ecchi elements, but nope.
>>285193801wasnt the girl blood related or something?
>>285210684Yeah, it was on Locomotion. It also aired in Portugal and (I think) Spain.I think it's the first time I've seen anyone creating a thread for it on /a/.
>>285196649What the hell did I just read?
>>285199361>rom-comRom-com was always a genre filled with shitty protagonists and cuckshit.
>>285203870>>285214405Doesn't sound close enough for Westermarck to be a good excuse for no-way-fagging her.
>>285203870Yes, but for an anime that's pretty normal. Mieko is who the protagonist really wants but she's a rich spoiled bitch
Ah Yes Sakura Mail: Soft HentaiA classic of LA and Brazillian Locomotion alongside Eatman, Candidate for the Goddess, that shido vampire guy and Lets Dance with Papa.
