However, the most subtle changes were between first and second seasons of Gochiusa. I rated first season as 8.0 and dropped second one with rating of 5.0.
However, what did change in this CGDCT title between these seasons?
I will explain it in this article.
First of all, Gochimon is a waifu show. Such shows succeed or fail based on how likable the girls are. The original cast and their relationships with each other were all carefully crafted to appeal to male audience.
Its adorable how Chino is so shy and timid, Syaro is afraid of rabbits and insecure about poverty and admiration of Rize, Cocoa is so airheaded, but warm loving and caring. These traits are what make these girls so likable. Small things like that are what make the magic of waifu shows appeal. Take them away and whole magic of this show falls apart. In the second season you see just that.
In second season all girls suddenly more confident and assertive. Likable traits are gone. Without softness and vulnerabilities, the girls are not as likable anymore.
After all girls are meant to be weaker than men. That way she can respect his strength and superiority. He can feel protective of her and confident in his primacy. That is why good waifu shows make girls weak and vulnerable. Shoujo shows also all filled with strong and confident men to ponder to female sexual preferences.
The integration stopped being based on girls' insecurities but became more about younger girls learning from older ones. In the first season age differences are possibly mentioned but not emphasized. It's easy to think that Chino and Rize are nearly identical age, just Chino happened to be much shorter and weaker. The second season will never let you forget the age difference.
First season got it right. Second failed. That is something people can learn from, too bad most choose to ignore these facts and peddle the feminism drivel. Men would never like a feminist no matter how much fathers of daughters wished for that.
