>>24822The heroine is an actually competent, nice, well-written character. I'm that type of straight guy that can't fap to harems if the male MC is bland, but can fap to reverse harems if the female MC isn't bland. Which actually means my standards for reverse harems are technically lower - only the girl has to be good. Though I still haven't seen any type of harem with well-written MC but bland harem members.

>>24828I had not thought of it that way. Would you say that you are self inserting as the female MC?

>>24881I'm not that anon, but something tells me your perspective on this whole thing is rather narrow.
No.24886
>>24883That wasn't a joke. I'm curious if augmenting your physical state will better increase the ability of one to self-insert or better empathize with the character.
No.24887
>>24886There is no reason that a guy shouldn't be able to empathize with a female character without feeling like a woman. There are plenty of ways that men and women can relate to each other without gender coming into play at all. We are all humans, after all.
And I definitely don't think that you need to "self-insert" anywhere to enjoy something. At least, I have enjoyed many things where the main characters were nothing like myself.
That's why I think your perspective is narrow.

There are plenty of ways that men and women can relate to each other without gender coming into play at all. We are all humans, after all.I never implied otherwise. I was inquiring about that anon's specific situation.

>That's why I think your perspective is narrow.I think you just got pissed at me for reasons that you've not adequately explained, or I'm so retarded that I don't understand the ramifications of my statements and questions.
No.24889
>>24888I would say you are in the right. You asked "Do you wear a dress to further immerse yourself?"
"Further" is the key here. The other guy seems to think it is as a whole statement. "Do you dress wear a dress to immerse yourself?" or even "to empathise?" Which is clearly not what you said. You said "further", which means to add, to improve.
Also this is my own comment here, but
>>24887 is implying women are human. What a mistake!
No.24890
>>24888To me it seemed like you were implying such things but if that wasn't the case then that's fine. I just thought that your questions were kind of weird.
No.24894
>>24881Yeah, thanks for ruining the joke. I just wanted to make it into a selfcest question, and now it's blown out of proportion.
Even if I'm to say I'm self-inserting as the female MC, I can't say this particular series is particularly immersive.
Even if I'm to say I immerse myself into a series by self-inserting as the female MC, that doesn't mean anything about gender. I'm male, the character's female, who cares. Gender is mostly irrelevant to who we are as human beings. This doesn't even register as a problem. Her being female is way more minor than any of the suspension of disbelief one must do with any fictional work.
And even if I potentially immerse myself into something from a specifically female viewpoint, that doesn't mean I'd dress like a woman for that. Fuck, to watch an anime cosplaying as the character you self-insert as (and your question is indeed one of cosplaying) is the most cringeworthy thing ever. Even modern feminism can't reach this level of cringe.
No.24895
>>24889Oh, but it does imply a narrow perspective if you feel like asking whether you crossplay in order to "further" immerse yourself.
If it had been established that I, the anon in question, use to cosplay in order to further immerse myself, it'd be a reasonable question whether I crossplay to immerse myself as the female MC. But who the fuck cosplays in order to watch anime?
And if it had been established that I'm transitioning, it'd be reasonable to ask whether I dress and identify as a girl while immersing myself as a female character. But trans people are a really small percentage of the global population.
So, it seems that either the question is nonsequitor, or it assumes I fall in one of these two really rare categories. And the second implies a narrow perspective indeed.
No.24896
>>24894>>24895I've conversed with some really odd people on imageboards. My experiences from these interactions thus compelled me to ask my original question: do you wear a dress to further immerse yourself? Your answer is no: you do not. You gave your reasons, and I disagree with some of them, but at this point it makes no difference because you satisfied my curiosity. I also apologize for missing the joke. This isn't the first time I've ruined a thread because of my gauche obliviousness.
However, I'm being accused of a "narrow perspective" because of false inferences. You state that my assumption relies on placing you into one of two categories; categories you've created. This is dishonest. I made a question asking if you belonged to a group of people dressed up to better their immersion. Thus, there are two broad categories in which you could possibly (though not exclusively) belong: you do dress up to better your self-insering experience; you do not dress up to do so. Assuming that your two classes are the only ones that constitute the former broad category, then that means there are at least three categories in which you could possibly belong depending on your answer. Now, let's assume that you really do self-insert as the female MC, since you gave a negative answer to my question, you are someone who doesn't augment their physical self to ameliorate their mental connection with a character; which is fine. That's a possible outcome I was expecting because I never implied that you couldn't self-insert without changing your appearance. Further, I also never implied that you must augment your physical self to better your immersion as the female character–or at all.
No.24905
Decided to pick this up for a change of pace. I don't think I've watched any reverse harems since Starry Sky aired, and I dropped that after one episode.
It's not super good, but the story and characters are definitely interesting enough to maintain my attention. Better than your average harem series by far, but not better than my favorite harems (granted, most of those are good only because of the comedy, not because the plot is good).
The production values are quite nice as well.
No.24906
>>24905Actually, I watched Aoharu x Kikanjuu all the way through, and that was a reverse harem wasn't it? It wasn't bad either.
Anyway, my point stands that I have hardly any experience with this genre. I wonder if there is much of anything else worth exploring in this genre, aside from the obvious OHSHC.
No.24913
>>24896>you are someone who doesn't augment their physical self to ameliorate their mental connection with a characterI don't think anybody is even ABLE to use augmenting their physical self for the sake of ameliorating their mental condition with a character of something they watch. Maybe if they're trying to act out that character as if in a play… but that's something entirely different from immersing yourself in a fictional work, now, isn't it. You do that after you've seen the work, and you're then trying to reenact it.
Dressing up as a character while still watching seems to me just pure fanboyism + love of cosplay. It can't be for the sake of immersion or something.
tl;dr: we don't understand what even can be gained from dressing up
>>24906Fall had that Code;Realize thing. It was okay.
No.24914
>>24913I make no claims to understand why someone would simultaneously watch and cosplay to better their connection with a character, but I've always wondered. (And if someone were to do this, then they'd obviously start doing it after watching at least one episode.) Hence me asking the question.
>It can't be for the sake of immersion or something. You're quick to dismiss it, but some people who cosplay really get into character, and it only takes someone who has something loose in his head to "train" himself by cosplaying and self-inserting at the same time. It's all hypothetical but plausible.

No.25317
>>25306This is the only spring anime I ended up following and I thought it was pretty good. The last episode was kinda weird, because it kind of felt like it came out of nowhere and also unnecessary.
I enjoyed it as a whole but overall I probably wouldn't recommend it to anybody.
No.25327
>>25317Yeah. Though there is one specific category where I'd recommend it: not-rapey shoujo.
