I understand.

I liked it because it dealt with meaningful themes, the tragedies of everyday life. And above all, the atmosphere, the mood, of the anime is top notch. The lack of a plot doesn't quite bother me since I love seeing characters in everyday life and meaningful situations.

The lack of parodies definitely killed it. I wonder if they changed the writers from S1. I am pretty sure the quality of source material is the same as before, so the difference is likely due to different script writers.

The layout is completely different. Kurimu's seat was near the door in S1, now it's on the other side. There is no more stage at the back of the room, and lot more attention to detail (i.e., clock, water warmer(?), etc.). The entrance to the school is different too. We do get to see more scenes outside of the meeting room (classrooms, onsen, Kii's parents' house, stores, restaurants), more in line with regular school animes.

The introduction of new characters took time away from the harem four; no wonder Mafuyu feels like a side character now.


I forgot that it is ONA instead of TV, though at this point I am just nitpicking since it (and Ebiten) is practically a TV series, while some "TV" series I have seen are the 4-koma adaptations that are more like ONA than TV.

Right now my 150th is likely Mondaiji, and so far it's 5-ish. Slightly disappointed since I was expecting something like KoreZom. Ah well, it's not easy to find series like Mushishi, my 100th...

Incidentally, how do you like Mushishi so far? It's really, really, really, special, something that continues to grow on me (gave it a 7 at first, now it's a favorite). I plan to rewatch it some time; definitely an anime that I am willing to recommend to anyone old enough to appreciate its great theme and visuals.

I hardly rewatch animes either; only KoreZom and Seitokai so far.

The execution is also good. The concept of friends slacking off after school is done in Haganai (and probably quite a few others I can't remember right now) as well, but no where near as funny or, for lack of better word, meaningful.


Both. I am a computer science major, so I am pretty much your typical geek :)

Now that the entire LV2 is up on Crunchyroll, I'll start Seitokai by rewatching S1 before starting the new season. Looks like LV2 will be, quite unexpectedly, the 150th milestone for me. It was either Erin or Fate Zero at first, but with midterm coming up I just want something light-hearted and does not require much thinking.

I used to read Rosario + Vampire on MangaFox like 5 year ago. Nowadays I am more into anime since they take up less time (and less brain haha) comparatively. Hate having to wait a week or even a month just for one new chapter.

I'll try :) My memory is not as good as I would like it to be.

Humor depends on the viewer. I found Gintama hilarious, but I don't expect everyone else to do the same. There is one downside, that jokes get recycled quite often, especially in a long series like Gintama. IIRC there were quite a few episodes where they just sit around the kotatsu and talk for the whole episode.

LOL it's like me and Angel Beats/Ano Hana/Natsume. Sounds like you really tried to find someone with similar opinions...


Yeah I've read that LoLH is humorous at first then not so much later (not a downer for me since I find it hard to mix comedy and serious plot well in general). Pretty accurate from my experience. I like the fact that it's has a serious atmosphere, unlike a lot of shonen/action/adventure series. The only ding I have is IMO the plot went down hill in the last 3-4 episodes. Other than that it's definitely an above average action series. Would love another season since the LN is still ongoing.
