...ly funny.

I never thought i'd fall in love with a romance show like this before. So many twists and turns! So much drama, but not the kind that just rips your heart out or make you cry. Drama at its finest...but enough comic relief to keep you entertained for hours. I love how Oshima is just thrust into the middle of EVERYTHING. :rofl: She's just so innocent! and then she ends up in the middle of a "firefight". Brilliant stuff here. :up: :up: :up: :up: :up:
Yeah, they're hilarious! xD
Spoiler :
I'm getting hints about Natsume and Yamaken's story from this episode. I wonder which one they'll do? Or neither? D:

Continuing to enjoy this...I'm a couple of eps behind. I really like the more real relationship stuff in this. Also nurse Shizuku was awesome.

Loving this one. I still think Natsume is a cutie. :ying: With her being all flustered and teary-eyed when SHizuku calls her for help, i cheered for her. =D

This last ep was anime-only so it was pretty interesting to watch, though the ending was pretty okay. They barely covered half of the manga so far so hopefully there'll be a season two!

Kami-sama Hajimemashita: it looks like one of those shows that might have a nice episode or three but the rest is just like whatever and the ending is lame. Might watch, but not very hopeful.
Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun: assuming they manage to keep content interesting for the whole show, it's going to be fun. But the same reasoning as Kami-sama Hajimemashjita applies. Brain's Base is on it, and they also have Ixion Saga this fall... I wonder if they have the staff to pull them off. Might watch, somewhat hopeful, not really much.
>a nice episode or three
>rest is just like whatever
>ending is lame

Why did I have to call it out so well...

This started off very well, then started to go down by being a constant loop of the same deal.
Haru: I love you but you don't love me!
Shizu: Let me study! But I do love you!
Haru: But I don't love you anymore.
Shizu: Well, I'll love you until you will. Now let me study!
Haru: But I do love you!
Shizu: I don't care anymore! Just let me study!
Haru: But didn't you love me?
Shizu: Well, do you? It's not like you show it, let me study!
Haru: So you don't love me?
Shizu: I love you!
Sums it up.

It got annoying fast, the gags were fun in the beginning and the pacing fast, but eventually gags were sparser but not funnier, and the pacing slowed down much to a general dullness.


Also, since it seems some of you missed the news (maybe?): http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/20 ... ired-anime
An OAD has been confirmed. Whether they'll do an S2 remains to be seen, but less than stellar sales (did not reach the Manabi Line) generally do not favour an S2. I'd rather see Brain's Base do an S2 for DRRR or Kamisama Dolls before, anyway, but not like they will.

It's Brain's Base: adaptations which make you crave for more (possibly through an open ending) and no S2 ever are to be expected.
