As someone who (fault of my own) hasn't watched much anime, I'm probably not gonna like it any more later down the line because probably wouldn't like what it's making light of.

2. And M&K said in the recent CRWBY AMA that "More attention and meaningful conflicts for Ruby" was on the list of things they need to do in Volume 6, so she'll be less of a Mary Sue if that is indeed what that means. 1. Probably. Like, the male characters of the host club were set in specific archetypes that you typically see in reverse harem and romance anime - the quiet stoic one, the cute young-looking one, the posh romantic one, the intelligent one, and the twincest (twin incest) pair. There's something about twincest that's more popular than other forms of incest.

There was that character who was too obsessed with her dating sims. There was the episode where the hosts were being forced to film romance movies, which made fun of romance tropes. I recall that one having a pitcher and catcher joke with the twins, at least in the English dub (pitcher being the one who tops, catcher being the one who bottoms). I loved the scene where Haruhi seemed to be hurt, and Tamaki was super worried, playing on that type of cliched scene that happens a lot, only for the cliche to be twisted into Haruhi having tears in her eye because her contact lens got messed up.

2. Hopefully.
