    The episode's art shift has been compared to the styles of both Satoshi Kon and Studio 4°. In reality, the episode was referencing something much more obscure — Shinya Ohira's episode of The Hakkenden, which angered many fans as a result of its realistic, "ugly" aesthetics and loose style. This reaction mirrored the one that fans had while watching Osamu Kobayashi's episode of Gurren Lagann, episode 4, and this episode could easily be seen as an attempt to create a similar reaction.
    realistic proportions dont make things kon

    the romance can only end with black-hair (fuck I forgot her name) "winning" because it was made clear as day that MC really loved her. So the drama of the cheating tryst at the end lacks power because you take it for given.



    plus bad music
    to be fair the standard isnt that high for drama anime as most of them end up rather predictable through constant repetition of cliches

    That was probably the second best bit of the show after the introduction of the demon sisters.

    Demon Intro is the best but Yoshinari's garterbelt episode, Anarchyyyyy, and the finale are all better than the realism episode.

    WA2 frankly did not live up to its hype, especially in the tear-jerking territory.
    agreed

    im pretty sure most of its hype just comes from le waifu wars

    It's popular because of waifu wars, the hype comes from a lot of people considering it a good romance.

    Most of the hype comes from people really liking the writer of the original VN

    I dunno, there are maybe 3-4 vn writers that are known to the larger anime fan crowd.
