This show was absolutely terrible. Child abuse with no purpose. The suffering wasn't comedic, nor
did it develop the character.
BUT AT LEAST SHE'S A CUTIE, AMIRITE?

What show?

Kuma Miko
Girl Meets Bear
Basically the show's premise is some country bumpkin shrine maiden dreams of going to school in
the city and getting out of her hick town, but between social anxiety, the misguided insistence
of her friends and family, and deus ex diabolus, she's constantly put in situations that make her
miserable, emotionally-scarred, and eventually by the end of the series, give up on her entire
character arc throughout the show entirely.
She does not grow or even roll back into a BSOD with every trial and tribulation. It's just a
series of unfortunate events being thrown at a poor 14-year old girl and the universe basically
shitting on her.
But people will still defend the show, CUS SHE'S MAI WAIFU

I just googled it, I wasn't going to go out of my way to watch an entire series just to see if it
was as bad as >>3129998 says.
it was though. it was like, uncomfortable to watch and I genuinely wanted to turn it off before
the scene even ended.

As glacial as it is, at least it feels like Tomoko is making progress. That said, that show gave
me a similar feeling and I couldn't force myself to keep watching it, nor read the manga in the
hopes that after 40 chapters, maybe she'd eventually have a new friend.

When it comes to these type of series pacing is very important you don't what to marathon these
types of show's but rather try an to put as much time in between episode as you can as to not
burn your self out on the harsh situations of the show... ya gotta learn how to approach with
caution Just take one episode mediate on it wait it out a few days let it sink in then somewhere
along the week watch another episode~

the problem is that, like someone in the thread already said, there was no point to it. I
couldn't see any redeeming qualities in the scene. her reactions were too visceral, not slapstick
or "haha, aww she's sad" cutesy. she looked and sounded like she was having a
realistically-portrayed anxiety attack, and the whole situation just felt too real. everyone
around her walking by, not even realizing that she's like a drowning person barely keeping their
head above water.
it made me genuinely uncomfortable and I had to stop watching. I tried longer than I thought I
could manage, but there was no salvation in sight. it just dragged on. and then to top it off,
her dickhead dad or teacher or brother or whoever the fuck Yoshio is came back and showed her up
after she almost had a breakdown in the middle of the store.
what could possibly come after that? "haha! I guess I'm not cut out for this job!" I doubt it.
there's nothing to "soak up" or "let sink in" about watching that. there was nothing profound or
enlightening about it. I feel like I was invited to watch a trauma patient squirm in one of her
therapy sessions for an hour.

>40 chapters
Tell me how many chapters did it take for Tomoko to actually make any progress, don't fool
yourself. I waiting so long for her to make some progress in later chapters that I gave up keep
reading because I thought that was just how her character was keep reading an she's going on
outing with "friends" I don't even recolonize her anymore I thought suffering was a constant loop
in this series I was wrong! I loved making light of the bad situations she got herself into they
were entertain~ I still love the fuck out of the manga Tomoko is like some sort of Goddess of
Suffering to me She'll "drown you in despair"
>> [_] Anonymous 08/10/16(Wed)01:56:41 No.3130053

Yeah, but at least Tomoko's "bad situations" are just really awkward and kind of uncomfortable
social scenarios that her ego minimizes.
Machi is an unconfident shrinking violet who aspires to this wonderfully naive goal that's so
realistic (being accepted as just a normal city girl) and yet is assaulted with physical/sexual
harassment and berating by her peers (you know, the people who are supposed to be supporting
her), exploitation by Yoshio and Kuma. The people around her at times force her into situations
she doesn't even want to be in, and then make light of her emotional/mental suffering that she
incurs in the process. And at the end of the day, she has nothing to show for it other than
another notch in the trauma belt she'll take to her therapist some day.
These are two different characters with two different sets of circumstances. I stopped watching
Watamote because I was getting bored with Status Quo Is God being the rule. I forced myself,
kicking and screaming, to watch Kuma Miko in the hopes that all the misery to befall this
14-year-old girl would amount to something of substance, that there was some purpose to it. In
the end, I was not only disappointed, I was disgusted by everything I'd watched.

I kind of think the point of this flash is to summarize the points being made in this thread.
the jarring contrast between gooshy kawaii happy happy song and the look of emotional trauma in
that girl's eyes.
