B Gata H Kei: Teen Girl obsessed with sex

Not to say that the story line of this anime wasn't unique or anything but it wasn't a very good choice.

Just about no teenaged girl sets out to have sex with every boy in their school (in some schools that would be gross just think of the people she'd end up with), that is why this opening plot line didn't really work for me it was a little bit unbelievable and seemed very abnormal.

As the story progressed however I like the way here goals changed from all the boys to specifically one, which came down to normal standards, but her feelings towards having sex with him never changed until she got into the heat of the moment and backed out.

Don't get me wrong I did still like this anime, but at times it seemed very weak in structure and believability

 

It was my understanding that she was embarrassed of her inexperience in the sexual arena and wanted to lose her virginity and learn some prowess. Once virginity was lost, she would pursue her goal of 100 sexual partners.

I don’t condone her thinking but I think I can understand her logic. She is popular and beautiful and she would die of embarrassment if she was bedded and someone discovery her virginal status and/or lack of skill. Not everyone is patient with the learning curve of a novice. In short, virginity would tarnish her image. I don’t think this thinking is unusual, especially among males. I think it was kind of unexpected to find it demonstrated by a female.



Sorry, but I just don't buy that. Nobody would set the bar at over 100 just to learn techniques or to be able to say that you did it. They're trying to justify teenage curiosity in a way that's just not that realistic. You can argue to a certain extent that what she thinks can be related to real human psychology, but at some point you have to look at the numbers and say that what she's proposing is more than just teenage curiosity or low self esteem.

 

My point, that was not well made is, I know handfuls of guys who have lost their virginity mid-20′s to some bar chick just so they don’t have that stigma anymore. When a female goes the same route, it is considered shocking.



Agreed. Sexism sucks. If the anime would have been about a male lead wanting 100 women, there would be countless motivational posters around the internet by men saying he was a god or something exaggerated like that. But this isn't the only problem here.

I don't have a problem with the actions of the main character, but more of a concern over the purpose of the main characters actions and why the creators set up this purpose. It felt like there was absolutely no need to even include the bit about the 100 guys. All it did was create negative emotions towards the mc and label the mc as a slut before the viewer even got to know her personality [Which leads me to question whether that was an intended purpose or not]. If they would have just left it at just wanting to lose her virginity, the viewer would understand what the character is going through and possibly even relate to the character, rather than question the mental state of the character or write her off as a slut before the anime even got to the meat of the plot. I felt like the mc could have been so much more than just a girl wanting to have sex if they had just left that part out.

Maybe the author intended to make her unlikable so her character growth was more obvious. She was gross at the beginning and while still quite shallow at the end, she was definitely more likable.



I guess that could be a possible motive. But it really doesn't make much sense to me. The first impression is always the most important, so why dawn these opinions on the viewer initially? Why make the viewer think lowly of the mc in the beginning in the first place? Even if she did change in the end, people will always remember her for being the girl who wanted to sleep with 100 guys, not for the girl who ended up choosing one. In my opinion this left the wrong impression on the viewer and it's not going to go away. If they needed to go to that extreme to make the character development more easily recognizable, then I guess that means they didn't do a very good job with character development in the first place.

It's like posting an embarrassing video on the internet. You may learn from your mistake, but people will only remember the fact that you posted an embarrassing video.
