...what why are you taking a show about cute girls doing cute things (and in RtR's case, silly people doing silly things) so seriously the reason she doesn't speak much is 'silent girls are moe! Girls voiced by Kana Hanazawa are moe!' 'DUUUUUDE WE SHOULD TOTALLY COMBINE THOSE', nothing more and nothing less This is seriously the basis to like 90% of comedy ever; should we call Nichijou's Nano an uncomfortable depiction of designer babies? Doki Doki School Hours a show that overlooks the severity of growth disabilities, pupils molesting teachers, and living with one parents?

Mayu doesn't talk because she's always overthinking what she should say to the point of never deciding what to say before missing the chance to say it.
It's not some deep rooted social problem, it's just a quirk that her friends are used to and know how to handle. |

I think the oversensitivity to Miss Morita's inability to get a word in edgewise has more to do with Recorder and Randsell's humor leaving a bad taste in the reviewer's mouth than anything wrong with the show itself(which shows us plenty of times the trains of thought that keep her mouth from opening). Anyway, Mayu's a bit more talkative in the manga - I think she even got a whole word out once!

I really liked Morita. I'm actually a lot like her in real life, so it was easy to relate to.
I agree that the comments about possible reasons for her silence are rather silly. She simply doesn't talk because she over-thinks every situation; which is made the focal point of the series because it's cute. |

This series grabbed my attention because the character designs to me have a slight similarity to the character designs in Tokimeki Memorial (the video games not the anime), so it gave me a sort of nostalgic feeling to watch.

This was a very cute slice of life series. and easy to watch each week at a mere 3 ish minutes per episode. The series definitely got more interesting as the weeks went on and what development there was really added to the show.
There's still totally only 13 eps afai ... can remember <<;. |

Thanks for this review. I for one am someone who appreciates it when a reviewer gives a nod to the greater implications of what a series is doing, whether it's intentional on the part of the creators or not. As someone who's been laughed at for doing things in a way that others perceive as illogical (due to suffering from social anxiety for most of my adolescent and now adult life), it makes sense to me for someone to ask "well, what might be the actual reason behind the character's behavior and is that really something we should be laughing at?"
For example, It's the same reason why I found the Welcome to the NHK novel to be so good and the anime so marginalizing. The former seemed to be written from the perspective of someone who'd experienced Satou's brand of social anxiety (and judging from the book's afterword, this was true), while the latter seemed to be adapted by someone who had no idea that this disorder was something people actually experienced, using it as an opportunity to poke fun at otaku and laugh at suicide pacts and what-not. I wouldn't presume to tell anyone who liked the anime series that they should stop liking it, just to respect the fact that I'm not inherently wrong or looking for trouble by saying that there were aspects of it that I found insensitive towards my own experience. Likewise, there are obviously plenty of people who enjoyed this series for what it was, but that doesn't mean the reviewer is wrong or over-thinking things for questioning its line of thinking. |
