The Best and Worst of the Season So Far: Week of Feb 5-11

I don't see why Yaoi is a problem there, its pretty clear at this point its heading in that direction (its extremely clear he doesn't have any feeling for the Geisha). I guess I could use BL instead but it all come to the same.

I mean, the author did previously write yaoi, so I feel like you've gotta sort of expect that. I would rather not have it go in that direction, personally. But the story is still pretty interesting.

I'm gonna avoid to discuss the definition of "yaoi" here, but even if it was going in that direction, that's a pretty shallow reason for giving a bad rating...

Eh, if you don't like the key romantic relationship in a show, I think that's a pretty reasonable reason to rate something poorly. I've disliked things for much more trivial reasons. Maybe it'll recover once people who were put off by that aspect drop off.

It's completely possible to like the series while disliking one "key aspect". Whether that's the homosexual undertone, the rakugo itself, the direction, acting, or whatever. People can keep following a series despite disliking maybe one or two episodes too - the drop's been recent, and maybe the people who disliked those are expecting things to pick up eventually.

it just seems kinda unfair to me to give a show a bad rating only because you don't like a key aspect of it because that's just your personal taste and not a flaw of the anime.
