Because Hatoko was polite and Andou behaved like a brat after that?I find it amazing that you sympathize with Hatoko in that scene and not Andou.
The way he treated her when he himself asked her to do dinner for him speaks of its own.
But she didn't say that...her answer was the correct one to actually *not* hurt his feelingsIt hurts when you talk passionately about one of your interests and the person responds, "I don't understand how you like that stuff, let's talk about what I like instead."
She said something along the lines of "It's difficult for me to read this, its your thing - not mine. But thats okay, everyone likes different stuff"
Andou however was so butthurt after this that he shoo's her away even now, several year later... he doesn't even want her to listen to him talking about his chuuni stuff. It doesn't even feel the slightest like he is holding back for her sake.
(Ep7 proves this)
That's why he pretty much forced (well not really forced but "bother) everyone to participate in his nick-name brainstorming event no one really cared about? The Cosplay Event too? So far, Chifuyu is the only one who is truly okay with him being the way he is.Andou acted correctly by stopping. If he had continued to press the books, comics, and other things on Hatoko, he would have been forcing his own interests on her. We know from the series prior to that point that Andou isn't that kind of person. He never forces someone to do something they don't want to
What's the problem with not liking everything someone else likes? Is it impossible to feel love for someone who doesn't watch or like Anime the way I do?He's a big proponent of doing what you love, despite what others think about you. Hatoko on the other hand, only pretends to smile about the things Andou likes because she likes him, not his interests.
that's what *you* think she wants, she never said anything like that. In fact she says the opposite all the time...In contrast, Hatoko doesn't want to understand him, she wants him to change.
