| Mangaka Haga Yui posted on her twitter that she wanted to pay off the huge debt of the Astarotte no Omocha! anime. She regretted that she couldn’t return profits to those who invested in her work. She herself purchased five copies each of the Astarotte no Omocha! Blu-ray and DVDs. She said she will do her best to promote the anime.

| Well, that's pretty sad. And the anime was actually pretty enjoyable too. |
 |
| It was watchable, but I was not hooked to it :/ |
| Mediocre show, with a subject that turns away many people who are afraid to be labeled pedophiles or worse. What did she expect anyway? |
 |
| Pretty sad if you have to buy your own products to support it... |
| That's sad I liked it |
 |

| An extremely underrated series really, but it seems that it turned off most people for absolutely different reasons: those who dislike ecchi expected it to be filled with ecchi stuff and didn't watch it, and those who like ecchi were left disappointed by the fact it wasn't ecchi at all. |
| err they have to drink cum to keep themselves looking good. the simple fact that THIS even exists in the show automatically sets it a cut below everything else. that is, unless the synopsis is lying and this isn't actually a part of the show...? |

All true. It's similar to Kodomo no Jikan although inferior to it, adaptation wise. If it were more psychological, then maybe it could have worked. Pedophilia should not a problem if other shows had prepubescent children as main characters. There was more ecchi for older characters. |
| The threat is stronger than the execution. |

"7.08" rating on MAL was jut about right, maybe a bit higher but that was fine for an "okay" or a "mediocre show". lol @ not ecchi. |
| At least it's over 1frt. |

If you call THIS ecchi, I'm afraid to even ask what you would call Green Green or Girls Bravo. Lotte is NOT ecchi, anyone thinking it is must be either a monk or just started with anime a couple days ago. |
| She seems desperate, although I doubt she could do anything about that. baito_senshi said: those who dislike ecchi expected it to be filled with ecchi stuff and didn't watch it, and those who like ecchi were left disappointed by the fact it wasn't ecchi at all. Lol I don't think that's the case. Before watching it I thought it would turn out to be a childish show with magic as it's theme, while it's actually not. There wasn't much ecchi, but it had tons of fan service. |

Lotte is NOT ecchi, anyone thinking it is must be either a monk or just started with anime a couple days ago. Erm I don't think you should compare shows. As far as I know, as long as there's a good amount of body exposure then it's classified as ecchi whether you like it or not. |
|
| It is ecchi, but it's not just a mindless ecchi like most of the ecchi shows. It has a great heartwarming story with good characters. And it's not just a loli show, there are many adult women as well, and the fanservice is mostly centered around them. |
|
| I think the problem with Lotte is that it should have been targeted either at people with a "special preference" or remove all the sexual parts and make it a family friendly heartwarming comedy. In its current state it cannot please the target audience. |
| So having Rei in it still didn't do the trick? Where are all of those fan boys doing anyway? |
 "A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| If her manga was made into a TV show, you think she would have MADE money. |
| i dont mind a free copy thanks |

The fact that this involves bathing scenes and milking innuendos just to name a few categorizes this as ecchi. |
| Guys, it is irrelevant if the shows was actually good or not. What it *sounds like* is what will keep many away. And the Japanese are even more touchy on these, remember the Tokyo anime & manga ban? For the record I did watch it, but buying it? Hell no, there are better shows to invest on, sorry mangaka-san. |
| |
| Isn't this the Hayate no Gotoku rip-off? |
| I'd buy it if I could. It was probably my favorite show of the spring season. Really need to start reading the manga. |

The manga labeled as seinen, the content is "echii" enough, the promotion in magz that they using is eccii material.. so how the feck this isn't ecchii show? I hope you two just clowning for laugh. |

Leon-Gun said: So just because it's under the ecchi category it's already an aberration. That's what you're implying correct? Yes. Deal with it. Seriously, I have never said or implied in any of my post that ecchi = bad. I was explaining why this is ecchi to the other guy. |

That ordinance hasn't made much of a dent in either medium, the only thing it did was restrict manga with rape, incest leading to sex, and sex in school. It's the recession, people only have the money for 1-2 titles and because of money constraints they only want the best anime out there. |
 |
| Better luck next time. I love her art style. I really don't think that the anime was bad, but I like the manga better. I can see how the summary would turn a lot of people off, but I'm the kind of person that whenever I hear an outrageous sounding premise, I get curious and want to check the story out. I guess in the end it just didn't impress all the people who wanted to watch it for the ecchi and it scared away all the people who would have watched it for the story. |
 |
| It was a decent anime, but I would never spend money on it. |
 |
| Quite a surprise. The anime was funny, but maybe japanese lolicons expected more "risky" contents, and so they were disappointed... |
| It's quite obvious why the anime flopped. With a description like that everybody will start thinking it's a hentai or something, no matter how good the story really is. Just another casualty of the market economy. Move along guys |

| my favorite Anime of the season T.T |

Move along guys People need to stop judging a book by it's cover, although a lot of us were looking forward to loli BJs or better, but it turned out to be very heartwarming and no loli sex. |

Annoyance said: The fact that it had a 23 year old guy with a daughter falling in love with his 10 year old step daughter was a bit too much and top it off with the fact that she was a succubus and one day would need semen to live I can definitely see why a lot of people were too scared to watch it, but simply the fact that it was a rom/com and the art seemed good was enough for me to watch it, and surprise, it turned out to be pretty good. It was actually pretty funny and the story was really heart warming.. It's a shame most people are turned off by the fact that it's ecchi with 10 year olds in it, and are too scared to find out what the anime is really like... Maybe anime fans haven't recovered from the nightmare that is Kodomo no Jikan, stuff like tampons being inserted scars you for life unlike this which is Chicken Soup for the Soul. |

| Despite my earlier differences with this show, it ended up being a sinful and disgusting show. I am glad that people with morals are not purchasing this show. |
| Ok™ |

I love how you pull that line on a non-lolicon show while conveniently ignoring that other actual lolicon material does sell - so maybe it has nothing to do with your alleged "morals" after all. Keep living in your fantasy. Oh man you should have seen his replies with regards to Yosuga no Sora, matter of fact go look for them, you'll laugh. |
