CONTAINS PROFANITY!!!!

I'm gonig to keep it (somewhat) short and simple.

I did NOT like this show. I have initially dropped it like 3 years ago, and I don't even remember when I started that show. Almost 5 years ago, I think.

I dind't find any character in this show cute or funny, the contrary; most of them annoyed me. It was either how they looked like or how they acted with me, sometimes a mix of both. I know there are hateable characters in most shows, but I hate almost all of the main and supporting cast.

The anime had an interesting premise, despite being a mere Slife of Life anime. I have enjoyed most of the Slice of Life entries I have watched, but I didn't like this one. The anime started off well, with Tohru moving in with miss Kobayashi after her drunk ass talked her into letting it happen. I personally liked Kobayashi a lot since I'm able to relate to her on an emotional level as well as her ways of coping with stress from the never-ending work struggles. Her character actually had depth, not much needed to be said and more shown to understand her and for that, I actually can give the show some positive praise. Not a lot of shows can create a main character so understandable only by show rather than tell. I was able to enjoy the anime until all the supporting cast appeared. As stated above, I didn't like the supporting cast. At. All. Most of the cast only appeared for a mere few seconds, meaning they got very little screen time, and the screen time they got wasn't interesting, or simply annoying to me. It didn't give me a good impression of the characters. The characters I have seen the most throughout the series were the edgelord Fafnir and the fan-service milk machine Quetzalcoatl (for the love of god, I can't even spell it). You can't tell me these are "peak characters".

Speaking of fan-service, did I mention the comedy in that show? It is fucking atrocious. Most of it is recycled "comedy" humor, rather than being something original. After a few times, I've gotten bored with the jokes. I can't appreciate comedy in anime if I have seen the same type of comedy 100000000 times before. I know this is just being nitpicky, but it's the same with any other medium. If you have seen the same trope, main character, jokes etc. in a hundred other shows, movies, books or games before it becomes atrocious and annoying. Not to mention the "funny" fan service and the oh so "mature" sex mentions.

CONCLUSION:
(Disclaimer: this is all simply my opinion. I am not saying you're wrong for liking the show or liking the comedy, characters and plot)

Apart from my love for Kobayashi's character being shown in a rather interesting way, I don't have much to say about this show that would make my suffering sound any better. This show is mostly horrible. I didn't enjoy it at all, the premise got thrown out of the window to make place for mostly annoying characters that only made the viewing experience worse for me. I didn't like the recycled comedy or character tropes and the fan-service in this show is, like in most shows, NOT. FUN. AT. ALL. I did NOT laugh a SINGLE TIME watching the series. It was PAIN.

If it stuck to just being Tohru and Kobayashi, I think I would have enjoyed the show way more. It was good as is without all the unnecessary side characters that mostly didn't bring anything into the show.
