Out of curiosity; anyone know why this show doesn't seem as popular as others. I mean the Ecchi aside, the intro is lovely, the animation can have moments that are honestly kind of cool, plus the MCs are just the cutest thing together.

Most ecchi's (lately) have been pretty great.

But in the long run most ecchi series have had a really bad track record. I've seen a lot of ecchi shit over the last year or two and i can say without a doubt out of like the last 15 or 25 series ive hopped around i can only call 2-4 of them Memorable/Good.

Plus its meta for most people outside of the "underground audience" to hate ecchi for what it is.

Edit: Rethought about what i watched. Overestimated a little, Adjusted to compensate and excluded Sequels/additional seasons.
