Honestly, after rewatching *Komi Can’t Communicate*, I’m dropping it from S tier to A tier.

The anime is still enjoyable, and I like the characters, but I feel like the more I think about it, the more flaws I notice.

• The pacing is way too slow. The story takes so long to progress, especially when it comes to the romance.
• The romance takes 300+ chapters to properly develop. I get that it’s a slow burn, but at some point, it starts feeling unnecessarily dragged out.
• The comedy isn’t anything particularly special. It has its funny moments, but I don’t think the humor is strong enough to carry the series for me.
• It’s marketed as a romance, but the romantic progression is painfully slow. I understand that Komi’s social anxiety is a major part of the story, but I wanted more meaningful development between Komi and Tadano.

Overall, I still like Komi Can’t Communicate, and I wouldn’t call it bad by any means. But after the rewatch, I just don’t think it deserves S tier anymore. It’s an A-tier anime for me now.

Maybe my expectations changed, or maybe the flaws became more noticeable on a second watch.

What do you guys think? Am I being too harsh, or is the slow pacing and lack of standout comedy a fair criticism?


I didn't even read manga after it like anime ends on 129 I headed half of 130 and gave up (I am not a fan of manga too...)
