This show is horrifically popular all the sudden.

Also, i hate these threads.

If you don't like harem shows don't watch them. Don't continuously watch them even though you dislike them and then incessantly whine about how much you dislike them.

Unlike most Harem characters, he notices.

He at one point says that he's not interested in looking for a girlfriend; I forgot which episode that was in, but I believe Kate posed him that question.


yeah I agree. He does notice but doesn't do anything about it and instead tries to avoid anything that has to do with a girlfriend/boyfriend relationship.

Most people hate harem protagonists because in their fairy tale concept of romance, the MC would just date all the girls.

I actually kind of really hate how "not actively looking for girlfriend" = "stupid" for anime fans.

The biggest flaw in this debate is the show's premise.

From episode 1, it is BLATANTLY OBVIOUS that Kodaka has 0 SOCIAL SKILLS.

He joined a club to learn how to make new friends, and you guys are calling him stupid because he can't equate the club members feelings to romance.

For 90 percent of the two seasons Kodaka doesn't even realize the club members are his friends, and yet you expect him to realize they are all in love with him.

Honestly, if I were in Kodaka's shoes.. I would have done the same thing. He wants the neighbours club to stay the same. If he decides to get together with one of them, the other girls will heart-broken and consequently, there will be a rather depressing environment in the club and the possibility of the disbanding of the club is pretty high too (Yozora would probably do that once she lost as the whole point of the club in the first place is for her to get closer to Kodaka). It's a lose-lose situation but acting all dense and shit is better than hooking up with one of the girls.

It's frustrating to see him running away from his problems though. Yet I enjoyed the show a lot. What.

As an anime fan its easy to get mad about the lack of romance in a light novel adaptation, because you lose inner monologue.

Thats why I wish theyd stop adapting light novels.

it was made clear that he noticed there feeling long ago i think in ep 11 in the fight with rika when she pointed out that he was running away and when she was about to confess he just said shut up or something and walk away again and in the stairs he says i know exactly what the wind was whispering me.

about the 90 procent of friends it was bugging me to i was like they kept pretending not to be friends but all i saw was friendship

No.He pretends to know,else he wouldnt hurt all the characters from the club room.He hurt even his sister in the first season.The only one that payed him back was Rika,the rest of them are just taking the hits without paying him back.He pretends that he knows,he just plays the smartass.
I can pretend I know how you feel and make it look like it...when I dont really know or understand.

I hated on him until last few episodes of season 2. He is cool , sensitive and realistic, if there is season 3 its his time to shine as character-development( since his personality gets revealed in s2).
Anyhow, hes a unique male char in a harem anime

Have you ever considered therapy?

But seriously, give the show a chance, there is a lot more going on that is yet to be revealed. To only speak to the animation, Kodaka's issue with Yozora is that she has changed so much from the Yozora that he admired. Since this is true one cannot really fault Kodaka, however there is the big question as to "why" she changed. That will be revealed later.

After finishing watching and reading this show up, yes I have considered therapy, is not working!!
I gave the show a chance, thus why I'm venting. Kodaka is a faggot, 'nuff said, no disrespect to forum homosexuals.

Hate reason #1, you have a best friend who leaves town, comes back and doesn't try to meet up with his old friend because he suffers from short term memory. Hate reason #2, he knows that Yozora likes him but doesn't say a thing or bothers to care because he's a fag. Hate reason #3,
At this point, all my fuses exploded, the guy is a child who doesn't want to grow up balls, and wants to live a happy life trying to make friends in his my little pony world.

Btw, I love the show, I just hate the male lead character, for gods sake author add another male guy who can punch this idiot, and then make this new guy help and marry Yozora. Please!!!

You are forgetting that Kodaka thought that Sora was a guy, not a girl, and a guy he knew 8 years prior to returning. Plus, and this is an important point, Kodaka has intimacy issues: because his mother dies when he was young, because his father is a loli-con who never had time for him. the whole point of the first two season has been that Kodaka drives those close to him away because he is afraid of how much it would hurt if they were to leave him (as his mother did).

Bakaaaa said:

This gets into reason 1. Kodaka idolized Sora, so when he was confronted with a screwed up Yozora, he does not know how to react. First she is a girl, not the guy he remembers; second, Yozora has some serious mental issues (that will be explained later, though anyone watching the animation should have been able to figure this out). Had Yozora been the Sora of the past, then we wouldn't have doubted Kodaka's "masculinity".

Bakaaaa said:

The answer is a spoiler:
. While I agree that Kodaka has been a bit of a child in ignoring the feelings of those around him, what makes this show rise about the typical harem show is that the female characters all have serious issues that prevents him from having a straight choice (though Rika now would seem a no brainer).

The weird thing here is that we don't even know if Yozora is really interested in Kodaka as a person, and that being the case, she would be the last person that Kodaka should consider marrying at this time. While I think in the end they will end up together, given Yozrora's current mental state, Kodaka is smart to keep it and arm's length. Yozora needs to resolve being Yozora before Kodaka decides to commit to her.

Kodaka joined the club and immediately felt in love with Sena (love at first sight). So of course he doesn't say anything and doesn't care about Yozora, he naturally wants to be close to that person he likes.

Yes, he wants to live a happy and peaceful life. He likes "Normals" and wants to be a "Normal". He already lives in a very stable relationship with his sister and he spoiled her so much that she developed a brother complex.

There is no place for anti-social people in Kodaka's life, because they are only causing conflicts. So you can only expect a merciless rejection.

Kodaka in fact notices everything. Watching it, I never once got the sense that he misses all of the hints.

I also think he sees the girls' feelings for him, but he doesn't respond to their feelings for many reasons.

1. He has never fallen in love before and is hesitant to do so.
2. He can't choose one girl out of so many.
3. He is afraid of changing the status quo.
etc.

He actually notices the girls but he is homosexual and he is in love with pegasus

Didnt you guys pick up what they put down, pegasus is the tsundere of this show, the constant blushing and pretending he does not care when they meet

and especially the back rub i can hear fangirls screaming all the way from antarctica

You see, pegasus wanted to get kodaka to marry sena just to meet him more often, so they could run away afterwards

But kodaka was too gay for that and he could not live being married to a female and ruin his purity, so they tried to get together some other way

But the girls kept blocking him from getting to pegasus, its hard because pegasus and sena live in the same house



...
The worst part is that it actually makes sense.
