FOR THOSE WHO DIDN'T READ THE MANGA VER...
keep watching :)



I know people say the manga gets better, but the first two episodes were crap, I'm not going to keep watching just because of a faint hope that it will get better (which doesn't even mean much, considering how bad it is now). Dropped. 5/10

I'd recommend you read the manga review by Omnia_Manitas. Ignoring its over exaggerated 10 score.

And I quote (in spoilers)


Though if the series is seriously only getting 12 episodes... I'm simply contradicting myself and the entire review.

Again, where did you people hear it's 12 episodes? i want proof right now.


I'm only assuming because Animenewsnetwork has it listed as 12 episodes and Amazon has the Blu-Rays and Dvd's listed up. 6 BD/DVD's with 2 episodes each.

But then there's the single link stating it'll be 45 episodes.

All in this threadl.

Other than that, there aren't exactly any other reliable sources yet stating there will be more.

But please know that this show doesn't start until the Flask Plan Arc, which is probably going to be after the first 12 episodes or so. This first part isn't bad; it's just setting the characters up for something better


Though if the series is seriously only getting 12 episodes... I'm simply contradicting myself and the entire review.

Then I guess I'll skip the first part and just start watching when it gets better, if the Flask Plan Ark does indeed get animated. Right now, it's just too boring.

*Holding on that small strand of hope*

Do series commonly list every BD/DVD that will be available before the series even finishes/starts? Does this apply to long going series as well?

Yeah as much as it sucks, I've seen that kind of trend with blu-rays and a show's episodes, for example, I noticed that HxH releases 3 episodes a disc.

Though I'm still hoping that it continues after the 12 episodes as like many people have stated, the "story" doesn't start till the flask plan arc. (Or when Unzen shows up)

As a side note, anyone know how long Kuroko is supposed to be as I'm kind of expecting it to be just as long as Medaka.

That isn't a solid proof though, it can be a 2cour or 4cour for all i know, but yeah, let's not lose hope just yet.

and wtf? Sengoku collection 26 episodes? history heroes turned into little moe girls to collect some random crap has 26 episodes? Why not Medaka? WHY NOT THE REAL MOE MEDAKA? WHY??
It's Amazon. Pretty much a legit source and a confirmation that this will run for only 12 episodes. Unless they announce a second season during or after the anime just like Bakuman and Nurarihyon.

Well there isn't enough detail yet, you never know, let's just wait and see.
because frankly, 12 episodes for Medaka is a joke, the show needs 40+ episodes, what the hell are they gonna animate in 12?
It's probably like Papakiri, a PILOT try out. If it pans out then a second season will come. No one is sure of the received reactions of it at first but now it seems to settle down as popular. At least.

If we're basing it on the OP song, Kuroko might go more than 12 episodes. Here in Medaka OP, it shows only Unzen and his crew and no hint of the next arc while in Kuroko they showed in the OP the other players that they will face later on. I read both so I know that Kuroko might run longer to cover the matches with those players while here, only Unzen and nothing on FP.
And for the record, it followed the manga first chapter.

5/5. Poor Medaka, Animals are afraid of her, even when she was small. I don't even believe for a second that this will be 12 episodes. Epic battles are waiting for us down the road.

I don't understand the hate with the panty shots and fanservice.

Read the show's genre. Ecchi is one of them. If you don't expect fanservice in an ecchi anime, just stop watching anime.

It's getting irritating reading people complain about fanservice in an ecchi show.

Lol true, actually, it's getting irritating reading people complain about fanservice at all.
but look at the funny side, their complains are going into vain because they aren't changing anything ;p
Exactly.

People seem to think these shows are aimed at foreigners when it's not. Japan loves their fanservice. Deal with it.

Really, it's like people here don't bother looking up genres before watching an anime.

That's nice, but there isn't material for a long run though, i mean for crying out loud, Medaka has more chapters than Kuroko and it's 12 episodes (Not confirmed).
I doubt kuroko will go longer than 24 though.
Actually Kuroko has more chapters than Medaka(161 compared to 142). Scans are just far behind(129). But yeah Kuroko might only be 24eps.
And lets just wait for further news shall we.

not good but im also not surprised. im not ready to hate on this as fast as i was beelzebub.

beelzebub's manga started out great and the anime was awful from the beginning (how does this have over an 8?).

havent read medaka, but even before the anime i was reading comments saying that the manga takes its time before it really gets good.

ive heard there would be at least 2 seasons of this show. which if it were 2 24 episode seasons i would feel better about it, but if it is 2 12 episode seasons this show may never be able to get to these good parts.

I can actually see that most old-timers left Gainax - it's almost tangible, really. I usually drop shows when the first episode is crappy, but hey - it's that Medaka everyone's talking about, right? So there's no way it could be that bad, right? ...is what I thought after the first episode. It seems that I hadn't been in the wrong though - the second episode was even worse than the first one.

I do understand that it becomes an action shounen after the current arc, but those several episodes of utter garbage before that happens are just too much for me. And I'm not really a fan of tweaked Haruhi rip-offs - especially cheap ones.

Dropped.

Second episode was slightly better than the first but I am still not overly impressed.

Somehow I can't believe that Medaka Box will ony get 12 episodes. Was there ever a WSJ Anime Adaption that short?

Ugh... The panty shot...
Score dropped instantly by 2 points...

I was hoping from my episode 1 test that this wouldn't emphasize too much crude fanservice...
It still has its comedic moments. Please no more panty shots...

Complaining from fan service in a Gainax anime is like complaining about being gifted chocolate during Easter...

Shiranui is the troll of this show. Literally all she does is troll when she pops up, and it's hilarious. Her and the guy are the only things that are making me come back. Other than that, this show doesnt really jump out at me.
