Btw do the manga readers suggest picking up the manga for this series? If there is alot of information and scenes left out in the anime, then I will most likely pick up the manga. But I don't know if that is the case or not.


the manga is great but i'd suggest waiting to read until after this season is over.
personally, I try to put off reading for as long as possible if an anime is good enough, i just found medaka box before the anime started.

that is all to say, the manga is definitely worth picking up.

WHY was ZENKICHI a "NORMAL" doing at an ABNORMAL hospital?!?!?!?

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.

Though a bit of material and jokes were cut you wouldn't be missing out on anything too important if you pick up the manga at chapter 55 when this season ends.

Really great episode, loved seeing how medaka had changed. Also, very curious about Kumagawa, he's being hyped like crazy

This episode was fucking awesome and I just loved all of these Medaka/ Zenkichi moments. Awww yeah at that scene where Zenkichi embraces Medaka, it was just so nice to watch.

Zenkichi was seriously too adorable as a kid.

i never thought he was mediocre but the minus arc is hardly his best arc. i didn't even start liking him until near the middle of the fourth arc.

Yeeees. Amazing episode, lots of juicy tid-bits. Hospital scene was very interesting.

Loved the Dashing!! moment, the return of the fan and the swipe of the armbands. Medaka is just pure awesome by learning every one's power.

That was such a great episode, the drama was just over 9000 and the fights were really good as well. Zenkichi is indeed my favorite character for a reason ^_^ He rules so much, even as a kidd *o*

So much stupidity! Medaka is way too OP for fuck's sake, even more than the dude from Mondaiji.

So Zenkichi was the one who gave Medaka her ideals huh.. And to think that Zenkichi was also admitted in the hospital.. Interesting..

This is amazing! I'm starting to tear up and be amazed, how did such a mediocre show turn into something I'm enjoying almost as much as Date A Live II? Hopefully the next 2 episodes are just as good, if they are, Medaka Box Abnormal isn't getting a 6/10 like I gave its first season but I'll be giving a 9/10! This is a great series, anyone who decided not to watch it because season 1 wasn't that good, trust me, season 2 is worth watching! Take Medaka Box's best episode and times it by around 6 and you have Medaka Box Abnormal!

My main man Zenkichi with the clutch once again... glad to see Medaka backstory now I want to see one for Zenkichi Hitoyoshi...

You can't brainwashed Zenkichi & Medaka bonds that easy, it's all good to know that it thanks to Zenkichi that she become the person she is now.
She would probably end up like a emotion less machine without meeting Zenkichi.

man what a info dump. So basically without hito medaka would be a psychotic chick who only cares about her power which seems to be absorbing knowledge easily and also doing said knowledge making her super OP. talk about the other side of the extreme. Also for hito complaining so much about medaka when it was his fault she so insanely persistent to help others. not a bad episode.

Kinda odd seeing so many contradictions arise from such a well put episode, from going to the world is pointless to going into a more simple view of life and just making others happy.
Great you figured out your purpose but the result is everything is a pointless endeavor.
True you have changed some fates and allowed for less suffering, but alas the destruction is upon us. The self preservation in which you shout is the only key to keeping you sane. Glad to see such small hope spark such a long journey into the grave. Our legacy begins in birth and ends in death.

Behold of my awesomeness~

Zenkichi made Medaka realize her purpose in life, and he brought her back to reality.

Now, for the final battle!

"Humans are born with no purpose, live for no reason, and die for nothing." Hmm, I totally agree. While we do create purpose and reason while we live I think it's just distraction from the reality that in the long run everything we've done has zero impact in the universe especially in a billion or so years from now.

Already added the manga to my PTW with some of the early eps. Really love a series that can keep it this over the top. Makes too much sense that Gainax was on this lol.
