| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Oh snap, Medaka attacks Unzen like a wild animal! Intense fight is intense. |
 |
| EXCELLENT EPISODE! Big shout from the start. I was totally immersed and loved this episode for its many elements not seen in other animes intermingled with fan service, drama, rich character emotions and a nice BGM. Medaka keeps pushing itself. About the beginning, Medaka’s intro from the last episode ending in the spoiler About Medaka’s past, HOLY SHIT SHOCKING! Is really what I felt. That guy in the spoiler About the fight, on the elements that impressed me of Medaka is the one in the spoiler Regardless the beginning in the spoiler When it translates into Unzen grabbing Medaka’s breasts in the spoiler What comes even more surprising as the fight progresses is Medaka’s struggle in the spoiler About thee end of the fight, very very happy of it despite I would have preferred seeing Unzen leave in a ambulance. One of the things that is remarkable is as Medaka was about to punch Unzen to finish him off in the spoiler About the aftermath, the aftermath really touched me in terms of how it flowed and was presented in the spoiler Still amazing fight. Most impressed of is the following,  That I am indeed. Made me think of the coined term “Medaka Akuma” from Akuma in Street Fighter. Is that author a fan of the game? MEDAKA AKUMA! I call it first! About thee end of the episode, to make it short I was most surprised at the following,  HOLY SHIT! Shiranui’s father finally! Man looks like some crazy wise man that can be a Shaoling Monk killer if he needs to use his powers. Reminds me a little of other anime characters in the old days if you notice how he dresses in the spoiler About the preview, seems that there is a new girl in the spoiler |

| They fact that they kept the shiranui scene at the end reinforces the chances of a second season. Very much so. |
| Medaka went beserk, destroying the school and nearly killed Urzen, too bad Zenkichi, Mogana, and Kouki stopped her before she killed him off. Medaka is super nice but do harm to to the wrong people and you die. I like Shiranui's father, reminds me of a master monk, wiseman, or any other martial arts expert.

| Next episode: Anime Original Filler ending written by Nisio. No chance for second season, Anshi'n and Kumogawa never appear again. |

Darklight0303 said: Nice! Let's hope it comes fast then. In the meantime, seems the manga will have to be read to know what happens next. Well if the manga sells more and brings in even more $$$ then a S2 season will come.They fact that they kept the shiranui scene at the end reinforces the chances of a second season. Very much so. Hoppy said: EXACTLY! I was thinking though he could kill. I mean look at his eyes. Those I saw loads on killer people like Kiritsugu from Fate Zero as a example.I like Shiranui's father, reminds me of a master monk, wiseman, or any other martial arts expert. Hoppy said: I think there is a good chance of that. The TV series might make the manga sell more apart from the TV series itself selling.Darklight0303 said: If this sells, then there's a 90% chance of a season 2.They fact that they kept the shiranui scene at the end reinforces the chances of a second season. Very much so. bastek66 said: WHAT? IMPOSSIBLE! Where is that confirmed? The filler might be to avert from the next arc starting. That's sad then. I was hoping they would start a arc to show a S2 will come. No chance for second season, Anshi'n and Kumogawa never appear again. |
| Ignore Basteko: Shiranui and gramps are talking about the Flask Plan >_> |
Darklight0303 said: Ah! That makes sense now. It would certainly make a BIG BOOM! To start the S2 with that arc since many say it's amazing. I nice gift to show the many who supported this series should it get S2 fast enough. I would say at most perhaps 6 months? After the BDs sell totally?Ignore Basteko: Shiranui and gramps are talking about the Flask Plan >_> |
| Not only that but Unzen was also thinking about it. So yes I strongly strongly believe in a season 2 |
| I'm glad Medaka came back to normal. Seeing her in that state was a bit scary. Don't piss her off. Foreshadowing a S2 it seems. We'll see. |
 |
Yumekichi11 said: Ah! That makes sense now. It would certainly make a BIG BOOM! To start the S2 with that arc since many say it's amazing. Nope, Flask Plan is pretty boring: it's a normal shonen arc (with the WORST antagonist in Medaka Box). The only good thing is Naze The minus arc on the other hand is glorious. |
| Well,since there is one episode left they're gonna wrap this up so anime only watch can finish with a decent ending rather Code Geass-ing the end with no confirmation of a 2nd season. Though there is a possibility,it's not 100% confirmed.Let's not put all our eggs in one basket & then go walking through a mountain filled with monster. |
| My Devianart Oh & Space Brothers is still the best anime ever,in my opinion.Even when competing with Attack on Titan. |
Hoppy said: If this sells, then there's a 90% chance of a season 2. "if you buy rayman origin, we MIGHT make BGnE2" (FU Ubisoft) |
| KUMAGAWA MISOGI!!!!!!! FINALLY!! He's one of my top favorites in this series! It's great that they animated him! Hope I get to see what kind of seiyuu they used for Kumagawa.... |
 |
| IMO this show should get another season. That fight scene was pretty epic. The silliness of the story somehow ends up being serious and with that arc came to a good conclusion. |
| Indeed. Wanted: Season 2, should put that in the Medaka suggestion Box. |
|
| Even if it was only a small flashback it was awesome to see Kumagawa, this show needs a season 2 so people dnt think that the genre of this season is the genre of the entire series itself. Tho with that said i think (considering the episode count) that it would take 3 seasons to actually get to Minus arc... nedstark1990 said: Nope, Flask Plan is pretty boring: it's a normal shonen arc (with the WORST antagonist in Medaka Box). The only good thing is Naze The minus arc on the other hand is glorious. Also this very much so, the Flask Plan arc is better than this "arc" if you can even call it that; but its nothing compared to the Minus arc, and gotta agree that the antagonist was garbage as well. |
 |
| As silly as it sounds Medaka's biggest weakness is her overpowered strength which makes it impossible for her to fit in her environment under normal circumstances. Another problem is the lack of opposing forces who could counterweight her due to her strenght. For now while she seeks the affection of normal humans by offering them affection herself this may work well. But who knows how soon Unzen will be proven right and Medaka will despair once she realizes that her efforts will be for naught as she cannot possibly reform every human in existence and that misdeeds due to human weakness are unavoidable. In that case she will become a threat to humanity herself if there isn't anyone to hold her back like Zenigata. Near the end it becomes apparent as well that this is in no way a normal school (which should have been obvious for some time now) and that the director who appears to be Shiranui's grandfather has something special in mind with it... |
 |
| Oh yeah! Love how Medaka beat Unzen in such a easy one. Glad that Zenkichi came to awaken her. |
 |
| Oh good so this time Medaka was going to straight up murder a ten year old boy. Ah well, Unzen was the most interesting character this show managed to produce even if he was chewing some major scenery I was still rooting for him. Medaka Box as a whole as been a weird show. It started out a completely different show. I understand what it was doing but it took up 2/3 of it's run time just introducing the cast. It's like they were so sure this was going to be a long running show that they could take their time introducing their cast. And you know that would have been okay if the show had of been amusing when it was a Sket Dance rip off but it was horribly bland to watch. Then it did this whiplash genre shift at the last minute and I can't take any of this seriously. It's like all the worst elements of shounen battle anime all crammed into one anime. I don't know whether this show is supposed to become a deconstruction of shounen battle anime or not but that is the feeling I got from this arc. However, it really didn't do much of that this time so for now all I can really think is this show has done something I've never seen before in 12 episodes it went from one kind of bad anime to a completely different kind of bad anime which is something of an accomplishment I guess. |
 |
| i hope they make a season 2 for this, they followed the manga so well so far, and darn the next arc the Flask Plan is gonna be good but the next arc after that the Minus arc will be darn great!!! MedakaBox is a weak anime if it will not animate Kumagawa!!! |
| There won't be second season because it won't sell good. >22, *1,196pt Medaka Box [DVD+BD] Preorder point are looooow. |
|
| Preorders are hardly final numbers. Stop being so eager to sink this thing It's SALES that matter. NOT preorders ffs. |
| I really didn't like her hair color, it bothered me the whole time but she was indeed a monster, this episode and the previous episode showed what Medaka Box is about, it sure can be hard to follow sometimes but that's what makes it interesting for me. I don't know if we will get a second season but I take it that they are interested in making another one (if the sales are high enough) because there is way too much foreshadowing. Next episode original anime ending, let's see how it turns out. |
Darklight0303 said: Preorders are hardly final numbers. Stop being so eager to sink this thing It's SALES that matter. NOT preorders ffs. Of course sales matters. But such low preorders indicate very low sales. |
|
| or people are waiting for it to end to see if it gets to the good parts. It's way too early to say it won't sell. |
Darklight0303 said: or people are waiting for it to end to see if it gets to the good parts. It's way too early to say it won't sell. End already happen. Next episode is filler. |

 The anime has so much potential but fails to capitalize it. Words can not truly express how much I dislike Medaka. What was she even fighting for, why, why in the world did they power her up so much, utterly ridiculous. She has absolutely nothing going for her at all, no redeeming qualities, or even motivations, even worst she isnt even driven by friendship. Why do shonen series have to resort to giving attention to these terrible characters, first last weeks episode of Saint Seiya Omega with Yuna, and now today with Medaka in Medaka Box. Can Zenkichi get in on the action? Unzen was/is way more appealing than Medaka and even had the better premise. For all purposes, I had to agree with Zenkichi about him, except for the part of liking Medaka more. I can already foresee that he will be extensively out of the plot, ugh. Also the episodes featured illustration wasnt that good, like a bunch of scribbles. |

He does get his moment in the Flask Plan and the Minus arc but unless miss or mister pessimist bastek is wrong, you won't get to see it animated. |
Eudaimonia said: Quality post right here. And you figured that out without even the manga telling you to, touche. Touche indeed.As silly as it sounds Medaka's biggest weakness is her overpowered strength which makes it impossible for her to fit in her environment under normal circumstances.

Near the end it becomes apparent as well that this is in no way a normal school (which should have been obvious for some time now) and that the director who appears to be Shiranui's grandfather has something special in mind with it... I think shounen action fans are so used to the underdog cliche who starts out weak and fight for the sake of his friends that they are biased over anything outside the box (pun not intended). Or how about the other cliche of being badass but not overly so and shows a degree of flair? It's still a lot different than what Medaka shows. Most people would not call her badass, but that she's so overpowered it makes her a bland character. The idea to her weakness sounds stupid, I know. And worse still, almost nobody can relate to it because most people aren't overpowered to start with. But her inability to fit in the environment shows. For 15 years of her life, she only has one person she could call a real friend: Zenkichi. Most people just see her in awe because her power is so much more overwhelming than they do. Zenkichi is one of the only guys who is obviously a LOT weaker than she is, but he can still hang out with him. And in a lot of ways that's why I like Zenkichi as a character. He is the childhood friend who understands what she's going through, even though their power differences are like a world apart. |

| For anyone who drop this anime i feel so back for em, cuz this was pure epic win. also doe anyone who if there gonna be a second season? cuz i want more one season is not enough |

I Think you guys are forgetting one of the best characters that came out of the Flask Plan Arc. He'll Kill you. |
Sturmwind said: Kung-Fu-Jesus said: I Think you guys are forgetting one of the best characters that came out of the Flask Plan Arc. He'll Kill you. Hey don't be mean he would never kill someone he is a nice guy ! Throwing some swords into people is totally different business. :D Anyways is it just me or was the flashback of Medakas past more detailed than it was in the Manga ? I don't remember Naked Apron-sempai and a certain other person being depicted that clearly. it suure was |
| it was there, but i doubt NisiO nor the mangaka had a concrete idea of how he's suppose to look at that stage. kind of like Syler in that cap in the earlier episodes. |
| The end was too peaceful for me to enjoy it but Medaka asking Unzen to join the Student Council, which is so much like her, made it up. The revelation made regarding Medaka's past was interesting but not enough informative. I was surprised to hear that Shiranui's father is the director. Though I guess that really fits for her character. |
| And slowly, you come to realize... It's all as it should be... |
| This series is so bad that it's enjoyable - look at Symphogear it had the same, nice idea but execution. And honestly I don't care if next arc in manga is better or not, this is anime - might care about when I will start reading it. So yea, it's wasted potential here. That fight :D ok I understand they talk a lot and that's fine... Dwarf was almost adorable this time (but a lot less intimidating). But it was clear that he can't win or that those ropes of him won't work. Everyone is friend now and they love and dance together... only main character is abomination, that needs to be controlled not to go crazy (Haruhi anyone? there is a lot more similarities here between those two). |
Kung-Fu-Jesus said: Naze was probably the best character in that Arc. Probably the most developed character. And her style is pretty unique. I Think you guys are forgetting one of the best characters that came out of the Flask Plan Arc. He'll Kill you. |
| They showed Kumagawa and hinted the flask plan! I can already smell the second season! What's with Kumagawa's lame short hair? And that lame blood from Unzen ._.

Full epicness. I forgot the antagonist of the Flask Plan arc lol. The one that looks like Laxus XD. I still have no idea how they will Animate Kumagawa's way of talking. |
-MgZ_ said: I still have no idea how they will Animate Kumagawa's way of talking. I suppose they'd make him say "kakko" (brackets) at the beginning and at the end of every sentence, or something like that. |
bastek66 said: Darklight0303 said: Preorders are hardly final numbers. Stop being so eager to sink this thing It's SALES that matter. NOT preorders ffs. Of course sales matters. But such low preorders indicate very low sales. Some series got a s2 with desastrous sales and while Medaka's won't be the best, I beleive they will still be within the realm of decent. Also, even though sales are often a good indicator, in the end it's up to the studio's whim. For a serie such as Medaka which got a very big genre switch near the end of the first season you do not need to be a specialist to understand that it'll take more than this season to "test the water". I think that the filler last episode is to be expected because another full episode following the storyline would make it enter in the flask plan arc. I still can't get over Medaka's hair color in perses mode. I think it look ridiculous and they should have made it light blue/purple, the same color as her normal hair but a tad lighter. |
 |
| MEDAKA BOOBS EP 11 Still SSJ medaka anyway.... too early for this show to end when the 2nd season is gonna start? |
| Omg i hope the anime sells well so they can make season 2 :D Thats when it starts to get awesome :D |
 |
| Conclusion of the battle...And what an explosive conclusion that was!! Medaka tore down the whole school building!! And then suddenly from War God Mode she quickly changed back to her old happy self -.-'' That was a quick change of mood XD Seems like she kind of befriended Myouri in the end. |
  |
| Only Kumagawa OVA would sell good. |
|
| I wanted to see Medaka brutally slaughter that kid after what he says drives her into an irrational frenzy for her to deeply regret later on in the show. Kind of knew she would forgive him in the end. Oh well. |
   |
| Whoa, boob grab! The all-out war between Medaka and Myouri continues with Medaka coming out on top only to be snapped out of her rage just before the final blow. Now this is finished I wonder what they'll do with the last episode. |
 |
| This episode was brilliant. Loved Medaka's and Unzen's characterizations. The silly bit was how quick she returned to normal. Next episode will probably go back to the way things were. Which is a disappointment. If only the entire series was like these last 3 episodes, it wouldve been close to 9 worthy. I'm hoping for a 2nd season where the director's plans come into light and where most of the fighting is. Without episodes 9-11 I'd have probably given it a 5 or 6. Depending on the last episode, will see if I should give it 6 or 7. Maybe it'll surprise me and have me give it 8. |
The only redeeming part of this episode was Medaka's boobs being fondled.  |
