You need hype moments and aura or ragebait to get replies.
Ikoku Nikki's hype moment was the Makio-Kasamachi romance episode, which hit bump limit pretty fast.
Otherwise it's a lowkey series.
The closest to ragebait is Asa lashing out at others in a pretty minor way due to anger about her circumstances.

Not really a lot to spam about.

Surprisingly, it's a real scandal

>Tokyo Medical University (TMU): An internal investigation confirmed that starting in 2006, the university manipulated entrance exam scores to keep the number of female students at approximately 30%. The school argued that female graduates were likely to stop practicing medicine to raise children.
>Method of Discrimination: TMU automatically deducted points from all female applicants in the first round of exams and, in some cases, added points for male applicants.
>Other Institutions: A subsequent government investigation revealed that at least nine other medical schools held "inappropriate entrance exams," which included manipulating scores to restrict the number of female students.

In principle there is nothing wrong with that, but "is female" is not necessarily a relevant predictor (or a legally useable one) of that response.
If the goal wasn't explicit gender discrimination, they'd have developed a way to test for whether someone would drop out or quit the profession early (or at least whether the applicants are capable of pretending to be serious)

Just have a "survey" section and penalize certain answers to that accordingly. I could come up with that solution in 5 seconds, someone who makes tests like that for a living could probably find a better way to test "how serious" candidates are.

Anon, if you don't ask them if they are intending to have children, if you don't give them the opportunity to say whether they're intending to have children, how can you possibly disqualify them for saying that they are intending to have children? Really, I feel like the public perception of racism and sexism and all those things is tainted by the incompetent bottom level buffoons who are too confident in getting away with things, when in reality you can be real fucking subtle about this sort of thing.

They didn't disqualify women for "saying that they intend to have children". They disqualified women because they were women, and said it was because women were gonna go have children and stop practicing medicine, so it was for the "greater good" that they rigged the system for men.

Gee anon, if only the kanji conveyed some sort of meaning, if only you could look up 縛 and find out the specific nuance of the word. If only you could find out on your own what しばる means, maybe because you're a weird pervert into artistic Japanese photography.

Then all you'd have to do is put the two words together and you'd find out what the word 呪縛 means. You already know how to read it too, because Asa says it over and over again during the episode.

>>286591342
You realize people will just LIE right? You don't have a crystal ball and selection is everything for exam students, so they'll say whatever it is that gives them the best odds. There'll probably even be urban legends / cheat-sheets about "Fill the survey like THIS".
>>286591411
I'm fucking deaf and that 糸 is weirdly fat and doesn't look like a radical so I didn't catch it was 縛 until later.
>>
>>286591388
I feel like you are not understanding what the conversation is. It's not "what did they do?" or "is what they did correct or not?", the question is "how can you do this sort of thing without a scandal?".

I briefly touch on this in the second half of this post. You can be very racist and very sexist without ever saying anything that is even remotely bad, if you do your research properly and develop a framework. After all, the US school system is a masterclass in engineering racism without making it look that way to anyone.

>>286591472
>You realize people will just LIE right?
There are ways to account for people trying to lie on a survey. Most obviously, just penalize everyone who gives what you deem to be the most correct answer too many times. Repeatedly ask for the same thing in different ways, so it doesn't look like the same question to someone who doesn't know they're being deceived and if they get one of them wrong, you mark all of them wrong.
There's been a wealth of research into dealing with adversarial (intentionally or not) subjects.

And, after all, if someone can outsmart the test, I think they proved that they're good enough that they deserve to be there.
>>
>>286591557
>develop a framework
They had a working framework. Male? Yes pile. Female? No pile.
>>
>>286591759
but clearly, that wasn't working, because it lost them a lot of prestige and forced them to come up with something new
>>
>>286591798
Worked for 10+ years. And it's a lot easier to manage since you just look up what sex the student is and keep dropping women until you have the ratio down to what you want. Much easier than trying to come up with a bullshit survey that somehow uniquely disqualifies women without being "Are you a woman? [_] Yes [_] No".
>>
>>286591798
It worked just fine
They just weren't supposed to get audited
And they didn't lie when they got audited
Which is why they never bothered being subtle
You just aren't supposed to get asked "Are you punting female students for being female" when you're a big dick medical school.
>>286591557
You're full of shit mate. That'll just A) Create a ton of false positives for everyone B) Be blatantly transparent as discriminatory. "Why are you asking students like you care when this is an exam" would still put you in hot water and also get you laughed out as "Well this school is, you know, not serious, the questionaire is obviously there so the right kids get in. So it's not actually prestigious, it's only for [insert flavor of corruption] students."

I'm sure the apology press release was from the heart. Surely they wouldn't lie about lying to students about their chances. That would be dishonorabu.

>>286591924
again, the goal of discrimination is to make it both plausible and systemic to the point where there is no person involved, where can be auditing and investigation, but no wrongdoing can be found.

>>286591981
>You just aren't supposed to get asked "Are you punting female students for being female" when you're a big dick medical school.
Sure, but if you are doing it, you should be prepared to handle it, which is why you put in some effort and develop a system resistant to inquiry.

>Create a ton of false positives for everyone
Doesn't matter, you don't care. You're looking to filter one type of person, if a few other types are too similar, that's fine. You are a prestigious medical school, you have more than enough applicants to go around.

>>286591420
Yeah it's kind of a pointless system. Stay-at-home mothers are one thing but a woman who wants to become a doctor in Japan is 100% not going to have children so using it as an excuse is BS.
>>
>>286592208
It's not my job, I am just saying that it can be done. The biggest hurdle is, ironically, that there are probably not enough female students at the university to develop a proper test cohort for the survey.

Medicine in a lot of places underproduce new grads on purpose though, so its doubtful they let any retards through since there'd always be plenty of candidates to go around. At that point its only logical to exclude a group that might leave the profession when/if they have children anyway.
Not that I'm saying any of this is a good thing, but just saying, any gender discrimination that goes on in this or other fields is merely a drop in the ocean of suffering that the system we live in represents.
>>
>>286593781
>on purpose
It's not on purpose, the issue is capacity. It's finances and supplies. You need to get a steady stream of dead bodies for the students to cut up, the supply of which naturally limits the number of people who can take these courses.

There usually is a reason why access to certain studies is limited and it is rarely "on purpose".

>>286593902
It isn't random injustice in the world.
She is a girl that wants to be a doctor and just saw a news article about how girls trying to become doctors were actively being sabotaged for years.
This is something extremely personal to her. If the whole conspiracy lasted just a few more years, she could have gotten fucked over by it, herself.

I'm surprised so many people didn't know about this. This made international news back when it revealed. The funny thing is that US universities were essentially doing the same thing with affirmative action. Despite their denials, colleges were in fact using racial quotas to control the proportion of races in the student body, and certain races' GPA and SAT/ACT scores needed to be higher to be valued the same as other races. It took many years, court cases, and appeals, but affirmative action was finally banned a few years ago. This was actually one of the rare times California had it right. It was one of the few states that already had affirmative action banned.

The writing of this king of sucks. Makio is so self involved she wouldn't really be able to maintain her relationships as the show portrays them. I don't buy her exbf orbiter in the slightest and I don't buy her best friend having anything to do with her post school. I see no sinews keeping those bonds together so it all feels like they're there because the author wants them there and that's that.
The only thing I do buy is her initial reasoning for taking in Asa, where she see's her feelings being trampled on, because that's all Makio really cares about. Her feelings.

Oh and the show's production value is too cheap to do the visual metaphors justice that's a kind of a bummer too.

Hot's good for initial interest. Hot's also good for 5 years later for a circumstantially driven 'yeah sure let's try this again'.
Hot is not sufficient to justify this emotionally astute classically attractive man who surely has other options walking on eggshells to orbit this girl for literal years. And when I go looking for more between these two to find some relationship it just isn't there.

I'm watching the show for Asa and her's relationship I've all but given up on the other stuff.
>>
>>286584657
>>286586986
She's honestly kind of a butterface, Emiri could do way better. Or maybe it's just that Emiri herself is a huge outlier when it comes to being a hot dyke
>>
>>286600836
some guys don't look for an actual relationship and are fine with just having a friend to occasionally fuck with, especially when you are over a certain age. Not everyone is obsessed with having a housewife and 7 children.
>>
>>286600878
That's really not what's conveyed. He was carrying a torch, somewhat torturedly, not just keeping it casual.
And repeating myself but when you have feelings that strong you need to do some legwork to show us why the character is all in.
>>
>>286596762
>What? Professor Asuka is...
>>
>>286600917
I don't know man, my impression from watching the show is that it is fairly casual. It's normal for exes to have some feelings still going on but it's also not like he's head over heels over her like a teenager. And yeah I get that he's a wish fulfilment type of character but it's not super unusual still, especially if they are both attractive and are okay with hanging out from time to time. I'm 38 myself and can imagine something like this in real life. At that age you don't care about being officially a boyfriend/girlfriend and announcing it to everyone, you just want to spend some good time and relax.

It's not merely the changes to the plot that makes it funny to discuss but how it was changed.

Kasamachi was a failed normalfag that managed to drag himself to becoming a chad-simp.

Kasamachi simping so hard for her is called out in the story as very weird. Daigo says that she's a massive pain to the ass to deal with that no other man would spend all that time obsessed over.
She basically made a huge impression on him as probably his first actual girlfriend and that screwed him for life, in that she's the only woman he could now ever love.

Other than that, Makio has the female autist social fluency buff which means that she's able to maintain relationships better than male autists can.
Her debuff is that she'll never build a scale model replica of Tokyo's train system in her Minecraft world.

did Makio accidentally turn Emiri into a feminist?
>>
>>286614295
Feminism isn't what would upset Makio about what the girls were saying. It's her autism that's the problem.
And Makio has already infected Asa with the 'tism.
>>
>>286612733
Wow I didn't know complimenting someone's looks is putting her in her place.

Complements are insults. Results are what matter.

ah I was also thinking about Emiri with her parents earlier in the episode. or maybe Emiri was already like that and her newfound 'tism is what made her that displeased about it long enough to voice it out loud to her dad

She's a very strong personality compared to her mother who is pretty passive and accepting.
Makio's influence is making Emiri more willing to be disagreeable and outspoken.
>>
>>286611156
Why not both and everything in between? That way we get to see the development of them growing more comfortable with each other's bodies.

>/a/utists surprised teenagers rebel against their parents even in glorious Nippon
It's almost as if all those CGDCT shows showed a biased reality.
>>
>>286616424
What rebellion?
Emiri is a good studious daughter, Asa had a rebellious phase that was extremely introverted and lasted a couple weeks.
>>
>>286616715
Turning gay is a sign that you hate your parents.

As someone with a tiny bit of nip fluency and a dictionary, this sounds about right.

>drew a comparison between her as a scientist in her lab coat and her as a woman beneath it
Nobody has ever said that calling a professional attractive is sexual harassment when that professional is a man.
>>
>>286619071
Who?
>>
>>286619308
When was the last time you saw a pic of a male scientist displayed and heard someone talk about how cute he'd be if he took that lab coat off?
>>
>>286619535
fairly recently but I read a lot of BL porn and hang out in those threads
>>
>>286619535
>took that lab coat off
That's not what he said. He said the combo of the dress underneath her lab coat looks good. I've seen people talk about how attractive a male doctor is (or other male professionals) plenty of times.
>>
>>286619379
I'm pretty sure that's Asa and Makio.
>>
>>286619652
>A short skirt and a long jacket.
>>
>>286583787
No, moron. They talked about her dress on tv. The dad said you can't say shit like that these days because they'll accuse you of sexual harassment. Then emiri told the dad that his comment was harassment because he was being a dumb boomer.
>>
>>286620211
>short skirt
It went far below her knees
>>
>>286620878
Does she at least have a mind like a diamond and know what's best?
>>
>>286620878
The scientist lady is cute.
>>
>>286620092
No shit, who else would it be? They're literally the only two glued at the hip every episode. Asa doesn't even pretend to be subtle anymore and Makio just enables her. The framing basically screams it if you're paying attention.
>>
>>286621509
That's sexual harassment
>>
>>286623549
I wish I was a cute scientist lady.
>>
>>286617165
How did your parents wrong you?
>>
Brainlet here, I didn't understand what Asa's gay friend deal was this episode
Is she resenting her because she lost her parents?
I'm not exactly what the show was trying to say
Was it supposed to be a reveal that she's gay and now she's happy she got a girlfriend?
Or was it to show her in a more negative light, she's finding her own happinness and doesn't want to be brought down by Asa's trauma?

She loves Asa, but she's just venting about how much pressure she feels to be the 'perfect friend' to her.
When she learned that Asa's family died she also realized that she was Asa's only lifeline to the world and that now she couldn't stop being Asa's friend. She had a responsibility now to make sure that Asa was okay. This was probably only made worse when she fucked up hugely and accidentally led to word about Asa's family dying spreading back in middle school.
This doesn't mean that she doesn't like Asa. She clearly still loves her. But it means that there is a constant tension for her in there where even when she isn't actually being forced, there's still that pressure to perform and be a great friend. It is a stressful position to be in. Even if she wants to be Asa's friend she feels like it is also a duty, not just a pleasure.
>>
>>286624511
I interpet it as Emiri being burdened by Asa's situation. She doesn't hate Asa, but she feels suffocated by her. To make matters worse, from her POV, Asa doesn't seem to realise Emiri's problems and just keep pestering her about her sexuality.
>>
>>286624673
>>286624639
Ohh yeah, makes a ton of sense.
I'd say that Emiri is being a dumb bitch, but then again she's just a kid.
>>
>>286624886
How is that on Emiri? She did nothing wrong.
>>
>>286624673
>To make matters worse, from her POV, Asa doesn't seem to realise Emiri's problems and just keep pestering her about her sexuality.
And that makes it even harder to tell her, because Emiri feels like she needs to be Asa's friend, and coming out of the closet might end the friendship there.
>>
>>286624511
Emiri is annoyed that asa keeps pestering her about finding a bf and she feels like she can't tell her to piss off or come out to her because asa is emotionally fragile right now
>>
>>286624886
You're a dumb bitch.
>>
>>286624538
Built for humiliation fetishes.
>>
Asa is never escaping the dog comparisons.
>>
>>286601663
She would only get more distressed than she already is.

Anyways, didn't notice until know but I get similar vibes to Sangatsu no Lion on Ikoku Nikki, minus the art-house-like-shaft direction. But the kind stories and events they tell are very similar on both series.
>>
>>286629901
>>286625317
Being mad at your friend for something that isn't their fault is childlike behavior, but considering Asa's situation Emiri is just being a cunt. But again, she's just a kid.
>>
>>286633951
Asa being insensitive towards her is definitely Asa's fault.

They have a nasty character AFAIK.
Yotsuba's encounter with one was a close call.
>>
>>286640490
that's horrifying. i will never see shibs in the same light again. i always wondered why they always almost look like they're snarling when drawn in anime
>>
>>286639819
Shibas are legendary for being stubborn, sometimes aggressive, and very independent. They're working dogs that were meant to function away from the owner.
Asa is a few of those things. She occasionally bites the hand that feeds her.
>>
>>286640724
i see, i can see some of those traits being useful in a pet/additional member of the household
>>
I guess anon gave up on the manga
>>
>>286642080
The chapter 1 thread did said not to expect them to be done regularly. I wonder how much activity those threads got. I didn't want to feel spoiled on the anime in case the adaptation relocated some more scenes and I wasn't feeling the manga art.
>>
>>286642080
Yeah, I've been looking for those dumps because we were almost caught up with the anime.
Maybe he caught a ban or something.
>>
>>286643213
>>286643165
The dumps were low activity, i think the anon chose a poor time to post.
>>
>>286643165
>>286642080
Personally, I just dropped reading it myself. It felt overall like a really faithful adaption of the first volume, so it just felt like I was experiencing the same story twice. There was only one time where something was slightly different, so it didn't really feel worth it for me to read JUST to look for differences. I feel like I would enjoy it more as a separate read some time in the future. Sorry. Me stopping reading it probably killed it... I'm just THAT powerful...
>>
Uhhmmm why is this boy asa asking emily about boyfriends? He's already her boyfriend. Is this a KEK show??
>>
>>286643863
I killed by reading it. I often kill threads by posting on them too.
I guess that's why 4chan is giving me the tripple catpchas now, to punish me

>>286640724
>>286640937
Shibas are also affectionate, intelligent, and require a lot of exercise and stimulation. If they don't get the exercise they need, it can cause anxiety which can lead to undesirable behavior like the famous shiba scream.

Just caught up. Was two episode behind
The episode where asa finally cried was really good, but these last two felt a little bit weaker. Idk, I think they just felt a little bit aimless. I liked the concept of the previous episode with them jumping between different days, and I liked the moment where emily opened up about how she feels about asa, but other than that they felt kinda empty. Idk. Maybe it's on purpose because now that asa has finally accepted her parent's deaths she herself feels aimless and doesn't know how she wants to grow? She keeps trying to take in advice from others, she keeps trying to write song lyrics and isn't managing to say much with them, etc. Maybe that's the point of the episodes and it's better than I'm giving them credit. It just felt a little off, idk. Not saying they're bad, I just think they were on the weaker side compared to the rest. Also why is emily letting that girl hold her pinky and play footsies with her? She has a boyfriend named asa?? Is this a plot hole or something??
Also also this girl is pure sexo
>>
>>286644686
yeah feeling the same here. like we spent so much time on Asa and her mom and things were getting more and more chaotic and the build up to Asa's mom's journal and what comes after was so good. and now these last 2 episodes felt like now we're just starting an entirely new arc and the first 8 episodes were just the first arc and not that important in the grand scheme of things
>>
>>286643863
This, I planned to outsource that effort to other anons and ask them to compare once the anime ended.
>>
>>286644824
I agree that it feels like a new arc, but I wouldn't go as far as saying the first part was pointless in the grand scheme. It's part of her journey of grief afterall. I guess one of the other things is how quickly things moved. Things were moving fast but it never really called alot of attention to it. It felt like a whole year of progress happened in these last two episodes alone just because of their structure, despite knowing that most of it was over the whole show's runtime. Im kinda struggling to see how it'll all wrap up by the end of the season considering how these two episodes went. It sort of set up her singing as some kind of climax, then just dropped it. Again, guess that makes sense considering how wishy washy she herself is being
>>
>>286633951
Are you watching a different anime? "Asa's situation" also affects Emiri and weighs on her mind, and there's the occasional little thing said by Asa that slightly gets on Emiri's nerves, but that's all there is, and it's all perfectly understandable. Emiri isn't mad at Asa, and they're still very much friends.
>>
>>286644686
>Also why is emily letting that girl hold her pinky and play footsies with her?
Because she sounds like Kanahana.
