As if out of the blue, the Horimiya anime turned out to be a winning bet, with numbers even with the giants of the current season like Dr. Stone, The Promised Neverland 2 and Re: Zero can keep up. The latest installment in the CloverWorks franchise, however, is has been harshly criticized for some homophobic jokes.
You can check out some fan comments below, however We assume these are not just a few isolated posts, but thousands of tweetsThe scene in question shows Hori, the protagonist, filming her boyfriend Miyamura after seeing him several times in the company of another boy and telling him “if he has to” fall in love with someone else, it is better to be a woman . “
Horimiya has always joked about this topic, and there are several lines in the manga that refer to Miyamura’s alleged bisexuality, but they are mostly comic book skits. However, CloverWorks decided to bring them over to the animated series, and as you can see Hori’s words have led many users to call it homophobic.
In all cases, Horimiya still managed to get a place behind many anime fans, and the numbers recorded by the series are confirmation of the extraordinary talent of the CloverWorks guys who are, among other things also very successful with Wonder Egg Priority. The studio will also release a new horror series called Shadow House during the spring season.
And what do you think about it Should the studio have censored the scene in question? Let us know in the comments!
