| There will be a S3. They set this up with a huge "prepare thyself" for the next arc. There was no conclusion to S2 but rather an opening of another door. But, it could go either way I suppose. If this is how medeka box the anime ended it would be a really bad finale. If it continues, it was a great finale. |

It's pretty much over and in iconic gainax style. They have a habit of ending series like this in impossible cliffhangers that make no sense. Just look back at Panty and Stocking. That and the whole 'Erase all colors from the world' is a clever throwback at turning the anime into a manga-like world (Since mangas are only black and white) |
| I love this episode so much, this show is the best when Kumagawa is always around and I can't believe Ajimu appeared too now I see why in the opening she made her appearance !!! This episode actually pretty good, thank god they didn't use the same story from the manga but instead make a after story from the manga which is very nice ! However I'm having a difficulty to accept his voice, I mean it's not like what I had in mind. It felt like the voice is kinda makes the character looks stiff |
 |
| Kumagawa's voice is 10/10 god tier Shinji Who else loved that OP? I can't stop listening to it. Need to find an MP3 somewhere. And honestly, with this episode, the Medaka Box anime has come into full cycle. There is no need for more seasons. There is nothing that needs explaining. Everything is tied up. Kumagawa got his own OP, that's all that really matters anyway. |
| I so very much wish from the bottom of my heart that there was any sort of logic that could get this episode its own separate entry on MAL so that I could give it the score it deserves. |
| "My tables-meet it is I set it down That one may smile, and smile, and be a villain." |
| I'm just someone who didn't read the manga, and my reaction to this season finale is: "WHAT FOR THE FUCK'S SAKE IS THIS FUCKING SHIT?!". This screw dude from this screwed episode should use his stupid power to deny the existence of this episode, so I wouldn't had a reason to mince my own eyes with a chainsaw... |
| Art should be left alone by those unenlightened, raw and uncensored as it is, because enough refinement was already done by it's creator, in it's creation. |
twownsu said: j0x said: and also Kumagawa turned all the anime world of MedakaBox into Black and White so that maybe implying that the story will continue in the Manga World where everything is Black and White only *shrugs* This makes sense and it saddens me.  |
 |
| Eh... this is it? |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| It really is a shame that it seems their won't be a season 3 but well this season was adapted pretty well, nothing compared to the Minus arc of course but then again the source didn't compare either, so for its limitations it was adapted well. |
 |
| I don't understand how some people can actually think this anime won't get a S3. Kumagawa is the reason the manga is still running. Medaka Box was about the be cancelled, Flask Plan was rushed and BAM! Kumagawa appeared! It changed for the better. The same can be said about the anime. Kumagawa Proof: |
| Kumagawa gets his own episode. Best fucking thing ever. |
| after checking out a lot of comments on ep 12 from different forums, i came to this conclusion: at least 90% of the ppl who hasn't read the manga hated kumagawa... my sincere advice for all of u who dislike him: go read the Minus arc now, seriously :D |
| I haven't read the manga yet, but I really like Kumagawa. I understand why he could be so loved by fans. I hope for a Season 3. |
 |
| didnt care much for this episode. just glad there a 3rd season. right? |
| That was a trolling end and better have a third season or else this is gonna get alot of hate. |
 |
| Was this supposed to be a real episode because it was a fail. Struggled to get through it. And now I want to know more about what part this kid plays(I haven't read the manga)because it really didn't explain much or maybe I missed it because I was waiting for something cool to happen. Overall this season was not as good as the first season though a few of the fight were good. Everything revolved around the next battle. I remember the first season being funnier. it wasn't bad but I was a little disappointed. Worth watching and I hope there is a S3, hopefully it wont be the same as this season. 7/10 |

So if you're expecting happy schooldays shenanigans to return, you will be sorely disappointed. |
| Pretty meh episode. But overall a good series/ 8 out of 10. |

| Haha oh wow Gainax and Nisio delivers. 11/10 episode. HHHNNNGGG Kumagawa! ♥ He even got his own OP. ♥ Though this episode basically makes me think season 3 isn't happen. The whole thing was pandering to manga fans. Basically a, "whelp, since minus arc and everything afterwards isn't happening, might as well give them this." Especially since some of those poses that Anshin'in made were from specific manga scenes. And the whole black and white thing with the ending felt like a subtle "you want more? lol well too bad, go buy/read the manga" to anime-only fans with all the spoilers. You know what's black and white? Manga of course! Considering Nisio wrote this episode, I wouldn't put it past him to do something like this. Hopefully I'm wrong and a season 3 is made. I would love to see the later stuff animated. Wish Gainax didn't waste so much time on the pre-Genre Shift (aka season 1) material. |

| Holy hell I was not prepared for this episode! A Minus and Not Equal (is there such a thing as a Plus?) Abnormal, Normal, Specials and so on. The categories really do fascinate me to no end. Finally, those two mysterious characters from the OP appeared, I was wondering about those people since the start. Loved Anshinin and her fourth wall breaking introduction. I think I might have developed a phobia of screws after watching this. I'm still confused over most of what happened and I sense that there is loads of foreshadowing here. First time seeing Kumagawa's past and he's a great character. Seemingly harmless but brutal (eventhough he mostly loses). His power was very interesting and dangerous, I can't imagine what will happen if he squares of with Medaka. There's still lots of things I don't understand but that's a good sign because I'm excited to find out. It's been one of my most enjoyed shows this season and I feel that Medaka Box has really opened up compared to its first outing. The focus on the Abnormal and the flask plan was fantastic and welcomed some really wild characters. Loved Medaka's new form, the OP and ED were great too. I think this show is such an improvement over the original. 8/10. I seriously hope Season 3 gets greenlit due to that cliffhanger. It's convinced me to read the manga. |
| I really enjoyed this series. I thought Medaka Box was just another crap anime with crap characters and nothing really going on. Oh how I was wrong. And I am glad I was. 9/10 :D |
| "Ogon’ po gotovnosti!" |
| Was pissed off cuz Kumagawa ripped a girls face in the beginning of the anime. Searched up why he did that and found a reason. Kumagawa just stole the show with this episode. And the part about panties was the best xD |
 |
| Oh god each delicious second, each delicious frame... I'm a total Anshin'infag, I wouldn't have minded if she had talked the whole episode ♥. Still can't feel the same as I felt reading the manga... |

| Not so much a "minus" as negation itself... The ending of last episode and the entirety of this episode make me begin to question whether I actually want a third season... |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| I didn't read the manga so I don't really know what's going on but... that was just too creepy!!! >< |
| Awesome! 5/5 I haven't read the manga but this guy Kumawaga is the best character so far, the episode was interesting. This kind of episodes make me want more. *.* Lets pray the anime sells so we get another season... Now LETS GO READ SOME MANGA! |
| 「Self Aware Cringy Weeb」 |
| What is this? Didn't the chapter in the manga have Kumagawa whip this school's student council's ass?! |
 |
MagnumBookworm said: What is this? Didn't the chapter in the manga have Kumagawa whip this school's student council's ass?! It's a follow up to that. |
| Oh. Is it true that Nisio himself wrote this episode? It seem as weird as his Monogatari series(Especially Kumagawa's facial expressions, they seemed very SHAFT-like). Medaka Box seems to only get that weird when Kumagawa or Najimi is around lol. |
| |
| Jesus and i thought they had enough trolling already but then we got this fucking crazy episode i don't know about you guys but this episode blew me away despite how much a spoiler,trollish tease it was if i could rate this higher i would because this was easily the best episode i admit it was slightly confusing at first because i was like who the hell are all these people than i remembered what part of this was in Kumagawa past lol kinda wish they showed the rest of it 5/5 for this 8 for the series in hopes of seeing more Kumagawa and Ajimu :3 feel sorry for the anime viewers must of felt like this was a really random and dumb ending |
 |
| I got to see Ajimu animated.I got Kumagawa last week & Naze a few weeks ago. I couldn't care less if they continue to animate the series now.I'll just go back to reading the manga. |
| My Devianart Oh & Space Brothers is still the best anime ever,in my opinion.Even when competing with Attack on Titan. |
| Meh, this was a decent series. The last episode was so strange, I was like wtf? 6/10 for the whole series, I don't mind a season 3 though if it does happen. |
 <3 |
| A cool way to finish the season. Loved Ajimu, Kumagawa and Saki as well as their seiyuu choices. Sad thing we probably won't get season 3, despite the second being so superior to the first. |
| Awesome episode. Kumagawa is really cool and I really like his voice, I imagined exactly that. XD 5/5 This season wasn't as good, though. While I LOVE the abilities Medaka's world delivers (abnormalities, minus, etc.), I feel like their execution is worse than bad. I'm not complaining about them not making sense (I get a feeling they weren't supposed to make sense so I don't mind) but I feel like they are trying too much to make everything look epic and huge. Characters (except for Kumagawa) aren't that great either and the story is sort of... boring. But I really loved the art (once I got used to it), character interaction felt real and I could really feel their emotion (unfortunately, this is VERY rare) so I can say that it was good overall. 7/10 |
 |
| amazing 10/10, i just gotta keep listening to the OP and Ajimu destroyed the crap outta the forth wall and as for season 3, if they do one i bet they'll announce it in the next 3 months and it will be a spring 2013 anime |
 |
| Ajimu... |
