    I strongly agree with everything you said, and at the same time I recognize that the show was quite revolutionary for when it came out. The original Manga came out in 2005 Japan, which was a time where it was very common for tropes like these to exist in anime and Manga. Sexual harassment was considered a playful romantic gesture, saving the day unnecessarily considered a sign that the love interest cares about the protagonist, and the male love interest being better than the female protagonist considered mysterious, charming, and cool BECAUSE the protagonist is strong. What wasn't common however was a female protagonist like Misaki. Although objectively when unbiasedly analyzing the show she seems weak at the worst times and usui takes over, to the viewer from the time the only impression they're left with is damn she's strong and intelligent and hardworking.
    Keeping the then cultural environment in mind, this show was very phenomenal for its time, and I can't help but enjoy it because of the nostalgia I feel towards it. But I do agree with all the points stated nevertheless and every time I rewatch it as a I age (many times over the course of 9+ years), I realize that if I'd discovered this anime in my current age I wouldn't have liked it nearly as much as I do for the reasons you gave.

  • @mellyq92
    @mellyq92 3 роки тому +73

    The hickey scene didn't even seem to me to be him understanding that she didn't want to wear it. It seemed more like him being possessive. Whenever other guys are coming on to her his intrusion into the situation is usually welcome because she's not interested but the reason he states for doing it isn't to make sure her voice is heard but because he "gets possessive". Its basically him saying "she's mine". That can be seen as attractive to some people. For me it was the least sexy thing he could have done because he forced her to decide between doing what she wants and not having people think she was doing sexual things she wasn't doing. In the end she backed down and kept herself covered up when she'd rather not. But maybe I'm missing something.

    • @AquaFoxes
      @AquaFoxes  3 роки тому +10

      ah yeah, I think the possessive thing is definitely a huge part of it too. I checked back on the scene, and before the hickey scene, Misaki recalls to Usui that the Maid Cafe owner asked her to wear the bikini (to which Misaki responded with a shocked/unenthused face) and Misaki couldn't bring herself to refuse and says that she had to wear it. It's not really clear if that factored into Usui's reaction to it tho, and if so how much, even if it did work to "excuse" it in the narrative, so it's definitely possible that Usui was soley being possessive. (excuse in quotations, since what he did really isn't ok). I think his possessiveness is attractive to some viewers, but not really in a realistic way - as in, being "possessed" is a romantic fantasy for some people, even if it is not representative of a healthy relationship, or even representative of what would be attractive to them in reality. (though I think there are some people who actually want these unhealthy relations, and don't separate these genres of fantasy from what they want in reality which is concerning...) And not everyone has that fantasy. So, yeah, you're not really missing much! Thanks for the comment btw.

    The main points I dislike about this show, are sexual harassment &assault and just kind of feels wrong-
    I mean, they write a strong lead, but still make her ridiculously weak in some situations, she nearly is dependent of him all the time and needs his help
    In general that genre seems like saying „Yes, ‚females‘ are strong.. but men are stronger‘ where they make the lead woman strong but the love interest stronger (p.ex special a, maid sama, etc (I know a lot more, but I forgot the english title)), where the girl can make everything herself, but gets a few times weaker when he s on the screen ._. and they often not only makes him physical stronger, but like better in everything (like making money, intelligence, good grades, handling emotions, etc) and then that love interest-guy is often sadistic, womanizer, sexual harasser, pervert, overprotective and controlling, underestimating the female lead, like not trusting her to do anything independently alone (-> controlling) (and honestly misogynistic) and says things like ‚Don t forget, you re still a girl, I Il do that‘
    And then the woman blushes and they make that look like it s some sort of kindness and romantic scene ;-;
    Like there s so much wrong with this kind of sentences, but like no one cares.
    And then the skirts in the maid café are pretty short and I in general feel like the anime/manga kind of sexualizes maids (many animes /shows do)
    And Usui just kind of acts like Misaki is a kid or something, he often makes things without her consent or decides without her. Like the hickey so she wouldn t do something she doesn t want to.. I mean, she s old enough to decide that herself and he could ve just talk to her about it instead of deciding for her
    Also not to mention that there s a high power difference, where Usui is just in a higher position in nearly every way and being a bit controlly(?) (like the bikini hickey scene, in general he s really controlling Misaki and also wanting that control), so it s less of an equal duo like healthy relationships should be, and more of a competition/game where Usui is written to win
    If they show would have made him ‚uglier‘, he blushing less and the show reacting different in problematic scenes, no one would see this as romantic, not to mention, if you want to show a girl that hates men because of trauma that ‚not all men‘, why would you give her a misogonistic, toxic pervert love interest? Shouldn t you like take an actual good guy to show her empathy and sympathy and how to be nice to others, if you hate them or not? (Not to mention, Misaki seems a bit like the reason some hate feminism, „menhating, wanting to be superior to men and being mean to every male“, , while in reality it s about equality, and yea, some hate men, but not all of them want to minimize their rights or kill them-) So I think her hating men and being mean to them and then meeting a feminine or masculine but really nice boy who d show her empathy and really show her through actions in order for her to get that character development, because like it currently is, it s like she was forced to learn it and seems a bit unnatural by learning love through a pervert stalker and three mini stalkers, the only pr mainly nice men were yukimura and his romantic bromance dude

    Watched it, and it’s just okay.
    I absolutely could not stand Usui. It’s fine to like romance fantasies, but Usui literally sexually assaulted her multiple times, and took away her agency from her. While sure, she didn’t want to be seen in a bikini by everyone, she still made the choice to do it because Maid Latte was understaffed. If Usui respected her boundaries, he would’ve respected the fact that she made her own decision, but no, instead he literally kisses her back in order to “save her” from the embarrassment of wearing a bikini. It’s stupid. And that’s literally only one example of Usui being a fucking asshole.
    On the topic of Hinata, he deserved much better. I’m upset they shoe-horned him in, because he was a much more interesting character than Usui. He was sweet, nice, and him and Misaki just felt more natural to me. Instead of forcing himself onto her like Usui, he’d always be shy around her. Hell, the one time he spoke about being a man to her be nearly lost it because he couldn’t believe he spoke to her like that. Don’t even get me started on how Usui treated him. Hinata hadn’t seen Misaki in years, and the one time he wanted to catch up with her, Usui just had to tag along. Just when Hinata finally struck up a good conversation with Misa, Usui scuffed her shoe to get her attention and to get her to stop talking to him. It was rude.

Though its ok to have fantasy I dont think it is good for such young minds to consume content like Maid Sama. Their young and probably dont have such a good grasp on relationships/romance, and may take in very bad messages from Maid sama, mainly from Usui. This type of genre is mainly consumed by young girls, and I hope it doesn't instil really bad, false, or warped messages of love.

Also he's perfect at everything which makes it boring for me. The heroin is the weakest female lead ever. I actually love stories where a prominent character chases their love interest (throw themselves at their crush) wouldn't mind if it looked like harassment but this is manipulative, controlling, abusive.

    First I'd like to say: feminism, womens rights
    Ok so now that thats settled I kinda can forgive usui, because he isn't real. Still very hot, very romantic, but if I ever encountered someone like him in real life I would get a restraining order

I watched Maid Sama back in middle school and liked it but hearing about it again a bit last year I couldn't really make up my mind cause I couldn't remember a lot of scenes, especially regarding Usui's actions. I think this video does well to explain the characters and the issue some of the actions brought

    Thank you for making this video! I remember really loving this show when I was younger and growing to not like certain aspects of it because of realizing all the sexual harassment and threats towards Misaki that Usui made. I felt a little alone since it's still pretty much revered as a classic and people don't like to look at it from that POV.

  • @bryaniscrazy3232

    I think you guys are missing the point on Usui, he becomes what misa wanted to believe he was, he wasn't actually a pervert but she felt more comfortable just thinking about him as one than to think about her feelings, she literally couldn't focus all day cause Usui kissed her. Usui crosses lines to fit in to her perception. Are we just gonna ingnore the fact that the rich guy was literally on top of her? That was gross, and the guys that were gonna tie her up and "wanted to get dominated by her" those lines are crossed way farther than anything Usui did.
    Like she said Usui is obsessive, and takes things to far, but that's with everything he does. Jumping off of buildings and his "daily routine" on the episode they spy on him to see who he is, he's literally what her friend perceived him as he deliberately goes out of his way to be who they thought he was.

    • @PichuElric
      @PichuElric 2 роки тому +9

      The video literally mentions Usui's actions and most things in the anime written with exaggeration for the sake of comedy, or simply being a fantasy thing.
      If Usui was ugly or even plain, no one would be defending him like this.
      Just say you want to be dominated by a rich, handsome guy and leave.

    I didn't like it , Usui is a Charming Character and he just teases Misaki for her Reactions...
    (edited ) well now I have rewatched this show again, and now I think Usui's actions aren't acceptable .. also why Misaki has to be put down or shown weak at some point and Usui has to come to her rescue why not let Misaki save Usui at his weak points , like he doesn';t even have weak points

    when she compared it to twilight i cant stand those kind of romances. a love story to me is between two people i can stand love triangles or more. like wtf its almost like people want to think about being ucked with a c at the beginning of the word not sure if youtube censors it. I watched all of true blood and what i got from that show is sookie was the type of feminist who would constantly say you dont own me for no reason. yea we know no one owns you. the streets owned sookie. she slept with the entire cast. thats not a love story. a love story to me would be two people being loyal and not see anyone else or cheat ever. in animes and live actions why does a love story always have to go with the white knight theory. even in live actions its always the girl had a bad boyfriend and a good guy came and stole her away like a white knight. why cant a love story just be two people and never involve a third person at all?
    Edit: no im not editing grammar on my edit. i dont care. i was going to say twilight and true blood were trash vampire werewolf love stories. Want a good vampire werewolf series that might not involve love stories then watch underworld.

  • @hammerjoe2008
    @hammerjoe2008 3 роки тому +18

    I'm going to throw my two cents. First this is a Japanese show, Japan culture feels very alien to us westerners. Also this show is over 10 years old and a lot of things have changed since then.
    You also have to consider that it's an anime so by its nature it's highly exaggerated for comedic effect. How boring would it have been if Usui didn't aggressively chased her, or if she didnt hate boys so much? Its part of the comedy. He's portrayed as a superman and he falls in love with a man hater and poor girl and he does everything he can to protect her and to conquer her heart. Isn't that Japanese culture at it's core? Isn't that the dream of any teenager?
    I really liked the show because I didn't read anything into it and simply enjoyed the funny situations they got into. Its is really a funny anime.

      I'm an asian person and I watched this show wayy back as a kid, and let me just say, a lot of people hated this anime for the same reasons people mention today. I'm well aware teenagers want someone to love them like that and chase them, I was one such teen once, but this show really made me uncomfortable to no end, even when I didn't completely understand why. It has some really harmful messages to kids, which are made even worse by anime being a medium where everything is exaggerated. Exaggeration, to me, is only okay if its not plausible, like in a fantasy or action, stuff kids won't get involved in real life. But this gives kids the impression that relentless pursuing is romantical and funny
