I'm so glad I'm officially Too Old to find this kind of thing funny.

When ONE MALE tries to peep seeking to murder all of them is overreacting and the worlds better off without those kinds of psychopaths.

I just ignore it and move on; it's like toilet humor, it's not worth getting upset over.

But I can't speak for anyone but myself so.

[up] They should murder the one, then it's fine. Like Mineta, he deserves everything that happens to him. Sanji too.

Isn't this basically like every mid-2000 harem manga like Love Hina?

[up][up]I have a similar opinion.

It happens in a bunch of series, and I do dislike it - especially because they hit mostly the same beats.

It'd be better if it didn't exist but its not worth getting worked up about.

I’m not a prude by any means but the joke always goes like this with little variation: girls in bath, boy(s) go peeking, girls get uncharacteristically murderous when they see him, next scene never mentions it. It’s a very tired cliche.

Fucking Black Clover, a series with characters so gimmicky that it has a Nosebleeding siscon as a character gimmick, manages to have its Mc outright yell he won't ever peep on girls when the others try to. And the one female character who forced them all there didn't give a shit about male/female baths unlike the other two girls who made a wall

Nosebleeding siscon

See I just don't understand why anime is allowed to continue when this phrase exists.

Ah but you see he really nosebleeds about everyone because deep down he cares!

While looking at creepy photos of his very little sister and threatening people interacting with his sister isn't that creepy when you have him nosebleeding for that reason. Wait......

I'll be frank, I'll take all the hot springs jokes over the LGBT predator or :this girl is fat/this woman is vaguely older" jokes.

Ideally you don't want any of them but ya know, the boy seeing the girl he's gonna end up with naked can kinda work I guess. It can go somewhere. The others are just mean spirited and worthless.

Like there's an entire genre of anime shit dedicated to wanting to fuck your little sister so

I guess I'm just glad my taste runs more towards Naoki Urasawa.

Said siscon is also in the Top 10 popularity poll.

There’s also always that one character who manages to rile up everyone into peeping too by screaming stuff about how “a real man wouldn't miss this opportunity” or whatever.

And it's the same joke every time. I don't know how someone is supposed to bounce from series to series when they rely on the same shit.

Because Japanese humor rely on repetition. It's why a Running Gag will reocur so many times.

Honestly even outside of the questionable stuff I don't find that Persona or most JRPG's have particularly great comedy, most of it is pretty rote. I don't think it's just a question of Values Dissonance either since stuff like One Punch Man still makes me laugh even now.

I mean, running gags are fun. Wile E. Coyote getting thrown off a cliff by his own contraption is always funny.

It's just, if that happened in everything all the time it would lose its luster.

Like I said Values Dissonance; we just have a different idea on how comedy is used.

Maybe it's - at least partially - a pacing issue. Without fully automated cutscenes, there will always be unnatural pauses in between dialogue, which strikes me as something that can play havoc with a joke - you'd have to rely on the humor in the individual lines (and the voice-acting, if your game has that), and not all of those will necessarily land.

Certainly, it's not that I never find Japanese humor funny. There are plenty of bits in, say, Azumanga Daioh that I thought were hilariousll

Sometimes I forget that so much of modern pop culture and fandom are filtered through the works from a country on the other side of the world with completely different values.
