Well, I'm heading down the road to another hard lesson learned, There's no romance left for me in anime, lol. I'll keep looking though. .

So I guess this white girl is a bones original character? Never a good sign when Bones comes up with original ideas this early on in the plot :|

You should check out Cardcaptor Sakura if at all possible, GOAT show.
Working season 3 will do that for me. Show is filled with greatness.

I love BRS Tv , such a fun anime .... that suffering was god-tier.. Will watch again.
Theres lots more.
If the anime for Prison School is a 1/4 of what the manga was, it'll consume us all in its glory!!!!

I guess I'm just on an unlucky streak then, lol. I'll see this one through, but the MC is going to be aggravating if it continues as is..
I'll have to break through more of Honey and Clover to get past the lull and see if that works..
That show gets so painful in the second season but its a good kind of pain, one that promotes maturity and independence.

Don't worry the script writer is new to Bones so the chances of it turning to shit is really low since he isn't associated with Bones. Plus the script writer has so far been doing Live-Action adaptions mainly and he also did the Liar Game Live-Action adaption. So far the anime original content is really good and actually feels like it fits in the original source.
No that's Gangsta's and Non Non Biyori's job.

Yes, that honey and clover. There are two seasons to the show. You'll see what I mean once you reach that far into the show. Watch it and all of its glory.

I'm pretty sure this wasn't a recap episode , right ?
.... RIGHT ?

I'm not interested in the action scenes. I'm interested in Okada melodrama, and the many gifs and screencaps over the years has made it look hysterical.
It's true, I don't even remember the action. The little bird story is etched into my heart though.

Yeah, so far it's a normal dude and a weird dude both lusting over the doll chuck (honey) and the third dude totally rejected the tall chick (clover) and lust for a much older woman. Go figure..
Theres a lot of stuff that isnt streaming that you could watch. Just research on MAL and anime news network you will find dozens of shows.

And so it ends.
So that was pretty good. All the characters were sufficiently distinct and entertaining. Umi in particular was a blast, getting all the funny moments and sufficient amounts of awesome with her fencing as well. Fuu had a tendency to repeat things too much, but other than that she was cool. She had a more pragmatic side, but she never let that take over from her kindness. Hikaru's sheer will made her strong, and the mental challenges she faced were great.
Good sidecast as well. Mokona was a fun familiar, even if he wasn't (manga spoilers)
Clef and Ferio all played their roles well. As did the Preseas. Though that was really awkward to reconcile it with the manga. The original villains were all fun. Emeraude and Zagato had their tragedy well played out. Ascot, Caldina, and Lafarga all had nice development and got in on the action well enough. Alcyone was crazy, but it was handled well. Inouva kind of got screwed, but oh well. Not everyone can make it out well.
The second half's cast was... not as good. Lantis was never a compelling character. Felt like he existed just to give Hikaru a love interest. An awkward one. Primera was kind of worthless, but she was at least entertaining. That little girl ended up surprisingly useful. Did not like Autozam. Especially Eagle. Too smug in his behavior and wasn't even cool to make up for it. His romance(?) with Hikaru/Lantis was even more awkward. Should have just stuck with Lantis. Chizeta and especially Fahren were more entertaining though. I'm all right with them. Debonair was just this really evil person. All flash, no substance, which is rare for this show. Nova was actually compelling, a crazy baddie who managed to make herself look awesome instead of making the heroes look weak. I have some quibbles with the way she was handled, but around the middle she was the main reason I was still watching.
Animation was alright. It got the job done, and the on foot fighting was pretty good. Not afraid to spill blood. Excellent soundtrack. That got me pumped up when it was appropriate.
On the bad side, I don't think the staff knew how to handle robot battles. Those were usually much stiffer than the ground combat, and the heroes almost never won with them. The increased focus on them in the second half weakened the action segments. The romance stuff aside from Fuu/Ferio either was weird (everything with Umi) or too awkward to enjoy (Hikaru). The first half had a basic plot with a solid twist. The second half was more compelling, but it added a lot of elements that didn't really work out that well. The invading countries never sat well with me for some reason, and Debonair was clearly added just for a final villain to blow up.
Overall, it's a solid fantasy classic with a good cast, and that's what matters most. A recommended watch if you can stand the huge tonal shift in the second half.
And so it ends.
Hikaru accepts her darker parts, and Nova disappears. She was probably the best anime original thing. Alcyone finally dies. Surprised it took that long. Everyone teams up to fight Debonair. Considering how every other major villain had some depth or tragedy to them, it's kind of disappointing that she ends up just this super evil manifestation. But I like everyone willing the Magic Knights to win, so I'll let it slide. Hikaru's choice as the Pillar feels a bit too easy, though I suppose it would be risky in reality. Hikaru, Umi, and Fuu all earned their year-long vacation from Cephiro, and especially their happiness.

Yeah, I'll look around more. I have a ton of stuff on my Crunchy queue that I haven't watched yet and the same for my MAL. The hard part is quality> quantity.
If White weren't in the show, there would be pretty much no reason to care about Leo.
You'll get to the point where you'll start making emotional posts about the show.

You may not believe it but yes, each season is better than the last one. This does in fact get topped.
how is that possible
those last 2 episodes were incredible

Feels great to try to piece everything together and punchline certainly has an intresting story for everyone.
Damn , after that rough first 2 episode , how far has punchline gotten ? Quite far , i cannot wait to see what's going on , as we do have plenty of questions left unanswered.
And everything still doesn't make sense , even after those flashback and EVEN after the fact that we know more and more of the cast..
Ok ...and it ...actually make sense ?? Wow.

Remember Leo's sister, the whole reason he's in Hellsalem's Lot to begin with and supposedly his single most powerful motivation? Well, the show doesn't.

The crazy thing is that, as far as I'm aware, the manga doesn't either.
The nice thing about White and her brother is that he can be used as a foil to Leo down the line, and that relationship with his sister might then actually mean something.
If only it wasn't twice as expensive as a copy of Suikoden II.

The new recently released Vol 10 of the manga is covering Leo's sister and it seems highly serious from the raws that were shown. If there's a second season it would definitely be covered considering how important it is. Plus since Rie Matsumoto loves the relationship parallel between brother and sister it would be great for her.
Check out the Saturn RPG if you can, it has some great moments.
Was this one the one with the condom joke? (WD...)

PUNCHLINE 7
I love how this is a serious sentence too.
So glad I waited and watched episodes 2-6 in one go. Otherwise the twists from last episode and todays wouldnt have had much of an effect. I'm just gonna stop reading speculation and theories on this show 'cause fans surprisingly got a lot of them right so it feels like I'm reading spoilers.
Show went from interesting, to "uh, okay", to "umm..", to "holy fuck yes yes yessssssss". Love it.
Chiranosuke is highly suspicious. I hope we dont get Kyubey'd.

Ace of Diamond Second Season Episode 7
Glad Sawamura is still a happy camper even after not managing to go to the inside. I was afraid they would try to make him over come it way too fast.

I've heard fun things about this, but it appears to be more risque than I imagined. Alas, I do not have a Saturn.
Now I need to consider whether to watch Sugar Sugar Rune (picked it on a whim), Sorcerer Hunters (heard it was similar to Slayers), or Ojamajo Doremi (heard good things about that recently, though who knows where).
At least that was my initial plan. But before any of those, there's a particular anime I need to watch first to celebrate an upcoming event.

You gotta stick with it until the sixth episode to really see where it's going, sadly. The first 5 are just pretty mediocre.
Totally wrong on calling the girls honey and clover lol, even in a symbolic manner.
I always liked it from start, show's funny and good looking.

They werent bad but the story really didnt kick off until episode 3-4, when shit started to get real. It was still pretty enjoyable otherwise. I liked the comedy bits.
