Not really a fan of how this is progressing. Kouki irks me to no end, so I'm not too glad to have him as a regular. I would rather see that tomboy as a recurring character. There were one or two good moments, but it could use a lot of improvement 3/5.

I really don't get the big deal with Kumagawa. Perhaps I just don't like villains but even when he changed he still doesn't stand out that much. If memory serves me his backstory isn't well explained either. The apparent reasons for his action is just that, what, he's a twisted/psychopathic but nice dude at his core? (If you like to reply to this please do so in my profile instead, don't want to spoil anyone else here.)

he's sort of the hero of the haters, and since the manga had tons of those he became a very popular character =P
also if villains are overpowered they are cool, if main characters are overpowered they are mary sues

that's more or less how i would explain his popularity, because if it's not that i don't get it too o_o

It's funny to see people dropping Medaka because they'll never see was this series really is about.
dropping it isn't much of a bother, it is coming back only to whine about it
but with the manga too the haters were an active part of the readers
those who are unable to like it from the start, and for some unknown reason will continue to follow it, will develop over time a love/hate reaction for the story
dunno how much healthy is for a fandom being for the most haters or past haters... :|
if this show will manage to bring some reactions, regardless being good or bad, that will be a good feat i think


liked this episode, still feels a bit odd having precisely 2 chapters fitted in one episode
i don't think there was enouth emphasis when zenkichi reacted to medaka's 'cheer' before scoring his point vs akune, the talk about geniuses and effort was somehow the real focus of the semi-episode
that background music was really bothering at some points -.-
found the second part more interesting and entertaining, akune trying to imitate medaka(with both the stripping and the paragon), zenkichi being upset at the attention akune gets from medaka, shiranui being a bottomless wormhole as usual (but a cute one :3 ), and medaka pushing akune to give his best

I think Kouki makes Medaka's Box slightly more bearable. I actually enjoyed some of his scenes so I'm glad he's sticking around. He adds a little something to the anime with his arrogant attitude and vanity.

Still the bulk of the show is disappointing. The dialogue never hits the heights that I was expecting from this and Medaka remains nothing but a fanservice machine. Hopefully we'll see some development of her character that isn't completely ridiculous.

Right, it's episode 4 and no trace of super powers and any stuff closely related to that. Lol, that reminds me about the start of the YGO manga.

But anyways, the anime is good enough even just as it is now - combination of Sket Dance and Suzumiya.

Nooo, the chance at a harem is gone. There should only be more female members of the student council.

Second half with the girl and the love letter was nice too

so green hair here hates prodigies. I wonder is she suppose to represent the audience since the MC is basically god. The super cute eyes saved the day lol and yeaaa I still think the other guy won. One take down doesint equal win. Thank god he was wearing underwear and I wonder if that unknown guy accepted the letter. He would be dumb not to.

Went past my usual 3 episode tryout with some doubt, now that pretty boy is added to the mains as part of the student counsil I highly doubt I'll make it to the end of the series, characters like him annoy me to no end.
Shiranui is hands down the best character so far though.

Medaka harsh as can be and also very good at compliments. The balance is too great.

Behold of my awesomeness~
controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted.
But my feels.

Akune failed once, but managed to succeed after Medaka educated him.

He's still annoying, though. :P

Interesting. It's a love square.

Yeah as the saying goes: "Give a man a fish and he eats for a day, teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime." That was the best course of action.

I could learn a thing or two from Akune. Persevere and hope for a victory, but sometimes you need to know when to quit as well I guess.
