This was one of many things that pissed me off with menma's ghost rules, if you're going to use the Sixth Sense ghost rules, don't piss all over it later on.

Ano Natsu has probably turned out better than it should have considering it's a re-imagining of Please Teacher! done by the director of Ano Hana.
The direction of Ano Hana is fine, the show's problems weren't the director's fault.

Why is that? Maybe Ano Hana was better than you want to give it credit for.
It is much appreciated!
Why so serious?
CCS is just joyous to watch. Its a hnnng masterpiece.
ooh. random gif I forgot to post.

Heeey. How come only Blue gets a sonic boom powder pat?
Well, he did okay the shrine scene among other problems with the show.

The focus on all the side characters, who coincidentally are more interesting then the mains, was all well done,
He was working with Okada, you can cut him some slack.

Mio with that perfectly timed hug at the end was the highlight of the episode.
Best character of the season~

Ichika is pretty boring. Its all about DAT KANNA.
Lemon is cool too.
She's in charge of keeping people alive and she's failed.

I'm actually somewhat disappointed that
Ichika is still the blandest of the bland. I can't even say I dislike her or anything, she's just... there. A walking plot device if you will.
Remon is still the best character.
I'm actually somewhat disappointed that
they seem to be transitioning to a far less interesting endgame for this series now that they've (seemingly) got all the romantic tension resolved. I feel like the series could have ended here but nope, still got ALIENS to deal with. It just all seems so out of place. Was Please Teacher like this?

Tetsurou finally realizing that he's been screwing things up from day one was fun to see, and the confession to Kanna was simultaneously heartbreaking and satisfying. Turns out for Kanna you gain a bit of perspective when you find yourself on the other end of things. I'm far more interested in seeing how this triangle resolves itself (or not at all, that's an acceptable ending given the circumstances) than in anything having to do with boring Ichika/alien shenanigans.
Remon is still the best character.
When he was directly responsible for that? Nah, he's also accountable.He was working with Okada, you can cut him some slack.
In Smile? I'd agree.
Are they worse than Suite's transformations?

The alien stuff was always present in Please Teacher, the
alien relatives
Kaito would be breaking up with Ichika and getting together with Kanna to prevent Remon from suffering from a disease that makes her fall into stasis.
Ano Natsu 10
Remon's clearly the best character of the season.
I'm glad that Kanna let it all out so she can finally get over it. Mio >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Kanna though so hopefully Mio's the one that ends up with Tetsurou who's really the only childhood friend (with the worst girl) in this show.
I'd be surprised and very disappointed if the sister actually forces Ichika to go back home considering how this show's been more than willing to tell the usual anime RomCom story conventions to get fucked but from what I've read about Please Teacher! they'll probably go ahead with it anyway.
Sums up pretty much everything wrong with the show.
Fingers crossed for AKB0048!
Ano Natsu 10
Apparently
while cooking too.
Also, it's really depressing that only now am I realizing how much better the other characters are than Kaito and Ichika.
Like shit. Mio, Tetsuro, and Kanna are the best characters on this show. This episode was just plain good, and the further unraveling of each of their motives and acceptances in this episode were just really well done. Everything felt so natural and I just loved this. Tetsuro was really good this episode.
Dat Remon trolling.
Team Kanna, we're going to finish this strong.

Also yet again, fuck Kaito. I hope Ichika is forced to go home, then he's stuck alone, and dies or something from not being healed.
Team Kanna, we're going to finish this strong.

lol.
Oh hey and
lol.
"Can we use the tape recorder in the A/V room to find out how to possibly save our lives and the lives of our classmates?"
"Sure, as long as no one finds out. The school would punish us severely if they found out we were trying to save lives."
Oh hey and
they're hiding from a faculty member that checks on the room which causes the dude to mess up the tape. Really?
but that's why doujins exist!

A more subdued episode. There were two things I really enjoyed: the framing of the chase scene, and using Yuka's grandfather's summer home as a metaphor for her relationship with Toshihiko.
This is basically an even more powerful version of Romeo and Juliet, since not only are there external forces conspiring to keep the two lovers apart but internal forces making them fundamentally incompatible for each other.

This is very true. I cant leave Lemon out. Shes quite awesome.

Team Rinon!
Since the beginning, I was hoping that Kanna
I'm Team Everyone.
Team Rinon!
Since the beginning, I was hoping that Kanna
and Tetsurou would get together.
Then, after his confession and the scene that followed it, I started hoping that he'd end up with Mio.
And now, after Kanna's confession, I don't know what I want anymore.

Onee-san!
This is pretty much my stance right now. I'm on Team Don't-Let-It-Be-A-Bittersweet-Ending, though they've still certainly got room to go that route if they choose.

Craziest puzzle in the show so far. Reminds me a lot of Catherine and how It played out reminded me more of Gambling Emperor Zero than any other episode.
I still kind of find it weird how it seems death is given little weight in this show. I mean no one ever dies, but a normal person would be killed in an instant by 90% of these puzzles. And the fact
yet still remain sympathetic is kind of eh.
But other than that, I'm pretty impressed with how this show turned out. It started out as an unremarkable mix of Spiral and Gambling Emperor Zero, but really grew into its own thing. I'm definitely more excited for season 2 now.

The direction is the weakest it's been - which is to say it's merely good instead of exceptional. The backstory that was provided was extremely interesting and sheds a great deal of light on the forces driving the characters in the present. Will history repeat itself?

I liked these episodes. They were definitely trying something new, instead of another zany adventure with a rat. I liked Marla's introduction and the whole answer postcards on a show was fun. I was really surprised they did a whole episode where no one spoke and it was just Urd in the rain, but it worked and a good break of things.
About time they decided to add a new cast member.

It's too early to call it a trend of "only" releasing things that way.
We have to wait five years or so and see if a cheap version comes out later or not.
Come now, that's not how you play the game.
