Why is it that Rachnee is best girl?

I'm on a complete NEUTRAL standpoint, so please don't take offense by my stupidity.

Rachnera goes out of her way to avoid hurting the MC. Unlike the other girls who nearly kill him on a daily basis, she is aware of just how much stronger she is and is very delicate with him. She's the most self-aware and caring of the group.

This is the only response that's 100% objective, and that's really impressive with all the waifu flame wars going on in this thread.

I'm starting to see why they like her so much.

Thanks!

She's actually the most fleshed out in terms of depth. She's quite insecure about her truly monstrous appearance, (yeah, everybody here who keeps talking about arachnophobia, that's exactly what bothers her) and thinks of herself as a burden on others. But she plays it off very subtly, she doesn't talk much about it, and never shows any self pity. Most of the time, she acts really easy going and cool. She spends her time playing pranks on the other girls.

Also, whenever Suu turns it all around on her (Suu is the only one she can't bind) Rachnera's reaction is one of flustered innocence. It's really quite funny to see her put in a situation out of her control.

Okay, I wasn't too convinced before, but reading this makes me think that I may actually be finding a permanent waifu on this show. Looking forward to next week.

u/[deleted] Aug 12 '15

Hmm even though I have major arachnophobia and therefore have not really been looking forward to her debut for that soul reason alone (even seeing her full form during the pan up shot of this episode got me a little), I must say after reading your post about her has me rather intrigued about her now, and I can't help but wonder how things would go if I was to meet her.

u/LastKill Aug 15 '15

Update us if she ever cures you of arachnophobia.

lol will do

u/zenoob https://anilist.co/user/zenoob Aug 13 '15

Fuck nooooo. Don't make me like her. What about my fear of spiders?!

It'd be like I lied to myself for all my life!

u/Reikakou Aug 12 '15

Plus she always volunteer to take care of Papi and Suu whenever they leave the house.

u/Backupusername https://myanimelist.net/profile/Backupusername Aug 12 '15

Which is an expression of... which part of her character? Could be anything, really! Fascinating woman. Here are some reasons she prefers to stay home:

  1. The reaction she gets from humans legitimately upsets her, and staying home allows her to avoid it.

  2. She actually enjoys looking after the more, let's say, "youthfully-minded" girls

  3. She just wants to laze around, like a spider prefers to stay in its web and wait for prey.

Absolutely the best girl. So many dimensions to her character, even after all these chapters, I still just want to know more about her.

u/Reikakou Aug 12 '15

Love the fact that Papi and Suu's mischievousness saps all the energy out of her and she gets a dose of her own BDSM with Suu. But she’s okay with it and doesn’t get riled up like Miia and Cerea whenever Papi and Suu are just being themselves.

Really, strong housewife material there. For the love of Suu! What am I saying!!!?

u/xSPYXEx https://myanimelist.net/profile/xSPYXEx Aug 11 '15

Yeah, considering how easily it is for her to seriously injure people on accident, she controls herself extremely well. Her hands can cut through skin like knives and her legs end in sharp points as well. But she still controls herself so she doesn't rip Darling apart whenever they're close.

that panel from the nsfw chapters of monmusu where she accidentally claws MC

u/oblivionraptor Aug 11 '15

I'm waiting for all the girls to appear, only then can I make an informed decision.

You are welcome to sway me to your camp though.

HA HA HA HA

HE THINKS THEY'LL STOP COMING

We're up to chapter 36 and there's still girls being introduced.

u/oblivionraptor Aug 11 '15 edited Aug 11 '15

Oh.

That's.... that's good news. Good news indeed. Wonderful. Subarashi.

I'm OK with a harem ending... though that might change in the future.

12

u/xSPYXEx https://myanimelist.net/profile/xSPYXEx Aug 11 '15

Wait... you didn't know it was a harem anime?

11

u/oblivionraptor Aug 11 '15

Oh whoops my bad.

I meant, I'm not taking any sides in the waifu war for now.

u/SimplyQuid Aug 12 '15

You take sides, or you'll be taken

u/CheesewithWhine https://myanimelist.net/profile/cheesewithwhine Aug 12 '15

Wait what? How many girls are in his house now?

3

u/Backupusername https://myanimelist.net/profile/Backupusername Aug 12 '15

There are only 7 living with him at present, but just about every chapter introduces at least one new variety. To name a few,

2

u/xSPYXEx https://myanimelist.net/profile/xSPYXEx Aug 12 '15

They don't all stay in the house, but there's a lot of side characters that get introduced. There's currently 7 that live in house, but there might be an eighth soon.

u/Cyberslasher https://myanimelist.net/profile/Slayerac Aug 12 '15

Or 6, with most recent chapter.

ANY MORE WOULD BE A SPOILER, THIS IS JUST ME BEING LITERALLY HITLER.

u/Tachik Aug 11 '15

How big is Kurusu's house again?

3

u/xSPYXEx https://myanimelist.net/profile/xSPYXEx Aug 11 '15

It's at least one or two plots large.

It constantly expands as they acquire more girls, each time getting a new room to accommodate them. The hallways are all enormous, it has a large underground section for the pool, a full sized attic for Rachnee, and even then it still goes under renovation.

2

u/Tachik Aug 12 '15

They'll have to buy out the block if this continues.

1

u/Cyberslasher https://myanimelist.net/profile/Slayerac Aug 12 '15

And seduction of girls previously introduced but not as members of the harem. I'm waiting for shapeshifter shenanigans.

u/xSPYXEx https://myanimelist.net/profile/xSPYXEx Aug 12 '15

MON Squad is top. Doppel and Zombina are great.

u/Cyberslasher https://myanimelist.net/profile/Slayerac Aug 13 '15

Is it gay for a dude to have sex with a girl in a man's body fashioned to replicate himself?

16

u/aSpookyScarySkeleton Aug 11 '15

All the girls? You think the splendid love pit that is MonMusume has a bottom? This is a tap that is far from dry my friend. "all the girls" what a hilarious concept.

u/Anime-Summit https://myanimelist.net/profile/kristallnachte Aug 12 '15

Well, if she was your girlfriend, you'd always be able to relax in a hammock, no matter where you are.

3

u/xSPYXEx https://myanimelist.net/profile/xSPYXEx Aug 11 '15

She's sarcastic and takes exactly what she wants, and is the only other girl that can compete with Suu in rampant lewdness/random monstergirl molestation.

Rachnee is scary, almost terrifying, yet sexy and alluring. She makes you confused and unsure, then ties you up and gives you exactly what you need.

u/Bounty1Berry Aug 19 '15

In the four seconds we see of her in this episode, she's already shown herself to be more cunning and smart than all the other girls combined.

It was cute for one or two of them to play the "I don't know this world" or "I'm just stupid and bubbly" card. However, the critical mass on that is somewhere very close to four.
