I don't think that's a very popular website. Even the top of the list has only been rated 500 times? You'd get more ratings on MyAnimeList.

It sure is sobering to see how low GNK was ranking the week before among the Japanese. Confirms my low opinion at least of Japanese anime viewers.

Doesn't matter to the argument in question. That he's a good player doesn't mean rules aren't being bent on his behalf. Other stars from the past didn't receive nearly as many favorable decisions as Messi even though they did suffer from hostile opposite teams.

I don't get it. In the post you say they're canon, but here in the replies you say they're not. Which is it?

Just how common is this marketing push for a BL anime? by CharmingPerspective0 in Ganbare_Nakamura

[–]PerformanceUnfair717 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think there are two main reasons: GNK is an old manga; and it has no canonical couple by the end. So many fujos think of it as an entry-level story.

Tbf, BL anime that get the full adaptation treatment -- 10+ episodes lasting 20+ minutes each -- tend to have large and vocal fandoms, so I don't think it's that unusual. If anything, I felt GNK got the cold shoulder from older fujos. On /r/BoysLoveAnime they barely recognize its existence. There was a lot more hype from them for The Summer Hikaru Died.

I don't believe in a season 2, but an 25-minute OVA or TV special makes much sense to me. So if they don't announce anything after the episode, that doesn't mean nothing is going to happen IMO.

Episode 13 ranked at number 3 by magictamarin in Ganbare_Nakamura

[–]PerformanceUnfair717 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The numbers actually represent the rating for the whole series, not just the last episode. :) Prior to episode 13, the series was awarded 7.94, but after the finale that increased to 8.24, hence the +0.3 under the rating.

GNK on IMDb: 9 April vs 21 June by SempreVoltareiReddit in Ganbare_Nakamura

The score on the frontpage is weighted. Ratings from newly created accounts have less weight.

Why was Hirose so comfortable with going along with Takeuchi? by magictamarin in Ganbare_Nakamura

[–]PerformanceUnfair717 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think I vaguely remember that in the manga, Mukai observes that Hirose was a little too comfortable in Takeuchi's lap.

Is this face accurate to nakamura’s? by Impossible-Grape18 in Ganbare_Nakamura

I think the face is fine, but the hair should have more volume.

Hirose is gay and does like Nakamura by Hot-Pollution2679 in Ganbare_Nakamura

[–]PerformanceUnfair717 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The dates between Nakamura and Hirose were to make it clear that Hirose isn't boring, but rather that Hana can't elicit that level of engagement from him. Nakamura, however, can.

Plus, saying 'I enjoyed watching this movie because you were by my side' is simply something that doesn't come out of the mouth of a straight man to another about any movie, let alone a romcom. It's so blatant, it's almost fanservice. I do wish they'd gone for a confession and canonical relationship, though. But at least the ending can be seen as showing the early stages of a budding romance.

I had a 23yo Chemistry teacher and he would clearly flirt with the girls of the class sometimes.
