5/99

I get that the main character probably won't be a creepy, self-pitying, petty dude after nearly 100 episodes, but he was a super turn-off. I get that the main character probably won't be a creepy, self-pitying, petty dude after nearly 100 episodes, but he was a super turn-off.

REVIEWED. Zetsuen hasn't really captured my interest so far. It's "okay", but a cast of flat characters and the fact that it pretentiously throws around Shakespeare quotes like nothing makes it kind of mediocre. REVIEWED.
