Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai - General Discussion

[ID555]

I forgot to mention there was one part where I thought Kanae Ito sounded eerily like Hanasaku Iroha's Yuina. That wa hilarious.

[blakstealth]

She sounded like that the whole episode for me lol.

[ThereminVox]

Meat + Massage Chair = Profit?

Sena trying to get in the club room had a funny kind of horror movie monster vibe to it.

[Malkuth]

Just wondering, why haganai instead of waganai? ha as a topic particle should be pronounced (and therefore romanized) as wa. Is it trivial for japanese to switch "pronunciation" based on use (wo/o comes also to mind).

PS: I hope this isn't OT, since it has to do with the title's abbreviation

Because ha turns into wa only when it acts as a topic particle. Otherwise it is always ha, even in abbreviations.

Sena is over-the-top as usual.

Regardless on what other people think, I still love Yozora but I think I can understand why there are many people who likes Sena

Btw, does anyone think that Marina Inoue's voice is kinda..different than usual for this series? I admit that I haven't heard much of her voice acting in anime ( so far I think I've only heard her in VC, minami-ke and persona ), but I think she uses different voice than her usual

"Genki girl + Otaku traits" are some of the factors that made of her a popular character.

[Bloss-Chan]

I will always love Yozora.

As Kodaka was the very first to see her "air friend", I doubt it has any impact on her relations with others.
Also, where do you take that "just being really mean in general" from? There's nothing like that in the anime (at least not so far). Is she generally mean in the manga or something?

But he's not done anything to rectify that event.I would say if he really wanted, he could have spoken up, but he maintained his isolation, which I wouldn't exactly call a smart thing to do considering he wants a real friend.

I think he was just too embarrassed to do anything about it.
Besides, even if he would've tried to rectify it, I doubt the others would've listened and only reagarded it as him making excuses - thus even worsening his reputation.

But she's really stuck up, or rather prideful, which isn't really a sane start to friendships. Not to mention what she does to the boys doesn't exactly sound sane enough either

Yes, she seems quite surprised that Kodaka doesn't want to be stepped upon, so the image she has of boys isn't exactly sane...

This is where the insanity starts, this clubroom, and them having what each other wanted, but not exactly going about their activities to a sane start (I'd like to note that the final straw of Sena's friendship to Yozora, is how the episode ended. Sena, unable to hold a candle to Yozora's banter, is effectively the last description of Tomo-chan, that she would not betray Yozora, simply because, well... Yozora is boss)

I see, so the club room works as some sort of catalyst
Also, yes, Sena does resemble Tomo-chan quite a bit

What are the red and blue dots representing?

Interesting to see that Sena likes "Gal games"

[Hooves]

Maybe they represent the different genders voting for them?? Either way, that's quite alot o.o.

[Decagon]

I think the blue stickers are typically votes by people working in the store, whereas red are used by customers.

Depends on the actual meaning. Sometimes its just that they used different colored stickers because they don't have the entire batch in one color

[Hooves]

That's a better possibility that would be quite a popular and big store to get that many employee dots.

[Sumeragi]

Playing the OP on DDR

[blakstealth]

I like both. yay for me :3

And goddammit, that OP is stupidly catchy.

I can't say she's bad at the role cause she's not, just her voice doesn;t quite seem to suit Yozora as I imagined(maybe something I just need to get over with the coming eps)
Still this doesn't take anything away from the series atm so all good I guess.!

I agree with you there. I think Hikasa Youko would have been a better fit.

Yukimura's dots are neatly arranged, while Sena is going all over the place .
Figured Sena would be the most popular, but I didn't think Rika is that low.

Kobato and Maria are on the same level, sounds about right.
