At last, guess I'll watch it now. Wasn't really in the mood to keep waiting for every episode to come out, so after I finished the first season I kind of laid it to rest until the end of the second season, and totally got it out of my mind. Now I come back and find 2 seasons in 1, the happiness.

Any complete opinions on how the second and third seasons are, in comparison to the first?

The first season has several themes going for it, such as focusing on specific characters as so-called "into episodes," while also maintaining Itoshiki's pursual of a means of an end. By the second season there aren't many characters remaining, Itoshiki forgets that he wants to die, and the show near-completely focuses on the underlying theme of theological analysis through practical self-observation, while also making cheap gags and occasional otaku-centric humor. This continued to be the basis of the third season and OVAs. It's all love.

Sounds irritatingly strange. My seal of approval is given.

Will get to watching a.s.a.p.!
