I agree! The original show has turned out to be a guilty pleasure that I
can engioy seeing multiple times.

What guilt?

Seriously, it was fun, but here's hoping that they lay off some of the bits
that got old real quick, like Mio getting scared easily. I would not like
to have someone that timid as "mai waifu" (as if I'd marry a bloody high
school girl anyway). Makes me wonder what that says about the otaku who
worship her.

Who has more realistic expectations than you may think.

They are more advanced than the ones who worship
younger girls. If you think about how the Japanese are raised
their childhoods are the happiest and most carefree times then
they start school and things get rougher. After school they
have or had lots of boring jobs doing repetitive tasks so it
is no wonder that the childhood and school days are numinous
times for them that are constantly revisited in art. No wonder
too that stories of children who have more interesting childhoods
and school days going to school with monsters or to become
ninja have a wide audience.

later

You seem to be confusing "enjoying a story in a setting you can
appreciate" (which is why I'm into anime) and "personally fetishing
characters a little too much" (which I might arguably do with Being
Upfront, but I make it clear that I know it's pretty ridiculous as
well).
