I remember being a kid and reading the manga because the art looked interesting. Each chapter was only a couple pages. But it was chapter after chapter of this dude being a tool and a doormat for some popular girl who just pretends he doesn’t exist in public and I stopped because I figured it was just gonna be pathetic the whole time.

Have some god damn self respect.

I think I saw like half of the first episode of the Nagatoro anime and just turned it off, I almost feel like that was the first time I ever quit an anime mid-episode, something I've only done like twice since then. Honestly I don't even remember why I wanted to try Nagatoro to begin with, cause I went into it already thinking it looked like it was gonna be bad. Columbam mortuam ne ederis.

You probably just got put off by the overwhelmingly bad vibes of that show. The artist is a pedo porn artist and Nagatoro is only different from the rest of his garbage in that it's less explicit. It's just pedo fetish porn that went mainstream, which happens all the time with anime

I don't even remember what happened in the first twelve minutes, I just vaguely remember that it was some blend of off-putting and tedious. Like, at least with the other anime I've quit mid-episode, I can recall what specific thing made me go "Nope, I'm out!" — not Nagatoro, though! Hell, did I even see 12 minutes of Nagatoro, or was that just a weird dream I've convinced myself was real?
