@Jon-Mitchell said in "From Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman" Anime Adaptation Announced:
former students apparently 'hot for teacher' If this is played light/humorous could be fun- if mishandled - could be squick
I've seen similar comments to this elsewhere. But I'm curious why 'hot for teacher' is so much a sticking point, especially since it seems like they haven't been his students in a decade.
I'd understand complaints over the significant age gap, but not so much the 'hot for teacher' since it so far seems more like an excuse (rather their only point of connection) than truth. Heck, with Allucia the power dynamic is now inverted from their former teacher/disciple relationship. She's captain and he's an instructor, essentially making her his boss.
My biggest issue with Allucia's crush is that it's basically out of nowhere, no foundations or justification for it is even given. It just seems to exist. If it was because he's the best teacher ever or something like that, then I could at least understand the 'hot for teacher' comments.
