THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
The final episode of the first season! Ah, the conclusion of The Enforcer arc, the calm after the storm and now the wrap up.



Some pictures:



Note: watch beyond the credits this episode because......



Yes, my body's ready for season 2. ;)

7/10 for first half.

The episode so far is amazing! The 2 new intro of characters were rich.

About the first new girl, obviously I love the the loli in the following,

She has that hairstyle with the bangs that is attractive, she is small in height and she has very MOE expressions in the spoiler
that are very much varied. Her behavior when she is shy is enticing as well. Hence I like her design.

About the second new girl, the other one is more of gangster with the bad ass attitude looks in the spoiler
and it’s obvious to see her mean side. She is OK but too violent for my type. Her looks and design along with hair color is nice to say the least. I do find the end with her in the spoiler
despite her violent outlooks proves she can be friendly with some people. Guess not so much with guys.


About the cleaning segment, I liked a lot it’s different parts in the spoiler
not only for the trio interactions but most and very dearly the flashbacks of Medaka. For when one thinks deeply she currently is in a hospital in not the best conditions and it pains to see her in that state when she helped so well and so amazingly all these students out in the previous episode. As such means really met the ends of nostalgia and feelings along with serving well the viewer as a reminder.

About Kikaijima, is she like in the spoiler
kind of realizing she loves Medaka more than anything before she had as feelings for her? I don’t mind Yuri and deeper bonding but it looks to me it could conflict with other deeper loves to say the least.

So far this last episode of S1 finishes strong with more character intros in the following,


HOLY SHIT! Do you see that gang! DO YOU SEE GILGAMESH? That guy sure looks like him. DAMN! This will be a crazy season 2. Their rich expressions that are a lovely fresh wind of new things to come for S2. I can say for one thing in point format about those characters,

– Guy with the bandaged face looks like him:
http://myanimelist.net/character/732/Hiei
From the series. This I can attest the design is super familiar and hence I like his bad ass attitude.


-Guy the right of him is kind of the the fresh guy that looks cool but deadly and thinking. I wonder how bad ass will he be?

-The small guy to the right of the above character looks funny cause he wears a hockey mask and scarf. How bad ass is he I wonder?

-The girl after the look alike of Gilgamesh is HOT! I TAKE HER NOW! She is wearing a Tuque for winter that is white and her breasts show out with her shirt. DAMN! Very nice out spirited full of energy girl less I have a bad impression of her and she turns out as something else then it’s another story.

-Boxer guy is cool! I like him! Looks Jamaican a little. Reminds me of him:
http://streetfighter.wikia.com/wiki/Dee_Jay
From Street fighter.

So that’s what I think of the new. I ask if anyone can enlighten me as to where to pick up the manga after this episode on my profile please and to correct me if some misconception I have of the new characters. Great end to powerful S2 start. Strong 9/10 from me. Might edit later.

S2's enemies are serious business, hopefully it turns out more school shounen now.

This would have made a good mid season episode, but was pretty lacking for a season conclusion. It was fun to see some eccentric characters, and watch the student council try to get by without Medaka, but it felt more like a non canon OVA than a finale. Well played with the To Be Continued though. After all the speculation, I thought for a moment at the end that they weren't going to announce it.

Overall, Medaka Box was a pretty good comedy, and a wildly mixed bag of over the top towards the end. While I have some varying and unpopular opinions towards some key points throughout the season, I will say that it was an enjoyable experience from start to finish. With that, I give this season an 8/10. I don't really see why I wouldn't continue on with season 2, so I will see you all then!

Wow, so this show can actually be interesting as long as Medaka is nowhere near it. This was the best episode of the season because Medaka wasn't there to ruin the episode.

Overall this has been such a weird show to watch and it has been pretty damn boring from start to finish. The sudden genre shift didn't do much to improve on dull formula of the beginning. The entire season has one or two clever moments but other than that it was a complete bore.

4 out of 10

Based on what everyone is saying, I'm really bummed I'll have to wait until season two. I was planning on reading the manga after this season was done, but I'd rather just watch the anime, if it's going to be continued. My impatience may get the best of me... very cool show either way.

Are you kidding me? I was so happy to see Medeka wasn't in this episode, but still they decide to constantly talk about her?

This anime is horrible and there shouldn't be a second season. 1/10

After seeing this my thoughts:
- parts before genre shift were pretty entertaining, nothing that wasn't seen 36 times before but it worked so for those it would be 7/10
- parts after were seen 36 times before - pick any battle anime and here you have it, nothing new so it would be 4/10 (plus dwarf was good adversary at the start but later he turned to be dissapointing to say the least - really? those strings were your last resort?!)

so in total it gives 5/10

I liked this show unlike many other people, but this episode was utterly weak 2/5. And what is Gilgamesh doing here? Also, Yumi, stick to mahjong and Momo.

I considered lovering the score to a 6, but I'm soft, gave it a 7 in the end. Looking forward to the next season.

Nice reflection episode, without Medaka even. At least they proved the fact they can solve problems without her and still be a good student council.

Before I started this series I thought it would be a realistic show where normal school problems would be solved. I haven't read the manga of this show, so I was pretty surprised when it made a 360 turn and went all fantasy and violent. For this reason I'm still on the fence about watching season two. This one's getting a 7/10 from me.

He look at it in a different way: Best way to guarantee another season is by making this guy say it :P

Regarding this episode in general.. meh filler episode as season finale is a bit disappointing in my opinion.

I want Natayama in the manga!

It was not a good episode for a season's end, the second season was apparently planned right from the beginning, so why didn't they just introduce us to the upcoming stuff and end it that way with a cliffhanger instead of making a random episode and announcing a second season in such a clumsy way.

Considering they replaced Megumi Toyoguchi from the VOMIC with Aki Toyosaki as Medaka, expect seiyuu casting that don't quite fit the characters. I was actually glad they kept Emiri Katou as Shiranui.

Well I'll still watch the second season but I'm not as hyped for it as others are.

10 minutes blabbing on about Medaka + the shogi thing made for an extremely boring finale.
It was a struggle to complete it and if i'd known I would have skipped to those last 2 seconds at the end.

That was a very anticlimactic season end. Sounds like they were trying to break the fourth with that "anime industry" thing in the beginning.

Lol at Sasae, she thinks her head would roll off from his neck.
I guess it'll be more serious on its next season.

5/10 Watchable I guess.

Season 2 is gonna be boring. People actually liked the Abnormal arc? I thought it was even more boring than the first arcs. It's just what a lot of people refer to as "generic shounen" even though most of them don't really know what that actually means.

By the time of season 4, if there is one, the fourth wall no longer even exists lol. If you actually thought that the series will be good after the first genre shift.... lol. It shifted from boring school stuffs to boring shounen stuffs. What is more interesting is what comes after the boring shounen stuffs.
bla bla bla
The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.
