| It would be good if this can get a second season. Wonder what they will set up for the final episode. |
| i hope there a second season probably won't be = we won't see Kumagawa >.< |
Gui1ty_Cr0wn said: When did everyone start becoming so dam critical, why cant people just enjoy an anime. If you don't like it, then don't watch it, it's really simple. As for this episode, it was awesome. That one two punch Medaka did to Unzen was awesome, really cool. Also if this whole Unzen fight was this well done, I CAN NOT WAIT to see what will be produced for later fights if we get more seasons, which I believe, this anime deserves. Anyway, Medaka isn't as bad of a character people are making her out to be, like every other manga/anime character, she has her flaws and weaknesses whcih are shown later on, but as I said before, just stop being so dam critical, the producers make this possible for our ENJOYMENT, not so that people can talk crap about it, so if you don't like it, don't watch it and spoil it for everyone else. They didn't made this for our enjoyment, they made it so that we buy it, they couldn't care less about the majority enjoying it as long as they rack the money in. Also since when did people start to get butthurt over what other say? If someone has the right to say anything positive about something, someone also has the right to say something negative about that same thing. An empty "This show suck" is not worth less than an empty "OMG THIS IS SO GOOD", both are just opinion void of any argument. Now if someone bring argument as to why it's good or why it's bad, now that's respectable, wether they like it or not. So please stop acting like a spoiled whinner that cry everytime someone say bad things about what he likes. |
 |
| Man that was surprisingly good. If Medaka Box was more like this throughout the whole season, I might have given it an 8. But from the looks of it, it'll have to settle with a 7. I will however pick up the manga, as the plot is getting more interesting. |

Eltrik said: Really now, if this forum was all "HEY THIS ANIME IS GREAT DON'T YOU THINK SO TOO? YEAH" then there wouldn't be much room for discussion -> forum dies all anime have their flaws and we can talk about them criticizing is not a bad thing bashing for no reason is there IS a difference. Bashing for no reason is not any worst than saying a show is good for no reason, yet one is getting received much better than the other. Once you truly understand that everyone got it's own opinion, you'll maybe understand what I mean and maybe peoples will stop getting butthurt over nothing. I've seen a lot of suposed 'open' people that were saying that everyone is entitled to their own opinion but the moment someone's opinion shackled the ground of theirs, they imediatly went in the defensive spouting bullshit arguments. Eltrik said: The next ep will be an ova but I pray for season 2, whether it be next year or the year after.. The next episode won't be an OVA. OVA stand for Original Animation Video which refer to animation video released on the market without having a TV broadcast or a theatrical release. The next episode will be a filler, in a nutshell an episode featuring exclusive content that does not come from the source material it is adapted from. Yes, we should pray for s2 since the sales do not look so good for now and it'll be up to the producer's whim as to if he wish to "test the water" a bit more.

I will however pick up the manga, as the plot is getting more interesting. That's the problem with the first season, the genre shift took people by surprise and that isn't especially a good things. I'm not saying that Nisio did a mistake by doing that, it's just something that isn't suited for a one course adaptation imo. By the time the climax is reached it lose a good portion of the watchers and sadly does not have enough time airing anymore to capture people that would be captivated by the changes. I recommend you to pick the manga and even if you do not like the next arc to continue further. Words cannot start to describe how generic the next arc is and how awesome the arcs after this one are, it's like reading two differents manga. |
|
| Hopefully there will be a season 2 with more epic episodes like this (I hear from manga readers that the epic stuff is later on). Only part I found strange was when Unzen was able to squeeze Medaka's breast so casually without her caring... |
| Well, it seems Unzen did reform Medaka in a way, though not as he wanted, nice backfire (still, I would really like to see a protagonist who actually kills off a defenseless villain for a change). I guess if someone one day hurts Zenkichi, they won't be able to comprehend the graveness of their mistake. I would like to see that. Shiranui's grandpa is the head of the school? Not surprising I guess. 4/5. |
| Nice episode was great seeing KUMAGAWA!,though if this does get a S2 it would most likely finish the flask plan arc right? kinda sucks because i really wanna see the minus arc animated and that wouldn't even be till later lol!. |
 |
| this episode was interesting, but comparing with the others quite boring and less action. O.o The end of the episode was confusing with the appearance of Shiranui's father. |
| I have no idea how I was able 11 episodes of this show. Maybe its because everyone always going on how great the later chapters are, though considering the show ends next episode I just felt like I wasted my time. |

27CansOfTuna said: Words can not truly express how much I dislike Medaka. What was she even fighting for, why, why in the world did they power her up so much, utterly ridiculous. She has absolutely nothing going for her at all, no redeeming qualities, or even motivations, even worst she isnt even driven by friendship. Why do shonen series have to resort to giving attention to these terrible characters. Well, I on the other hand think that is the episode that actually made her a bit more likeable. A bit late, yeah, but still. Turns out the one helping everybody has been the one needing most help the whole time. She's truly a monster in a world of humans, trying desperately to fit in and not be an outcast - yet she would still fail if it weren't for her friends. Pretty deep, though I agree she's far from being my favourite character. 27CansOfTuna said: Can Zenkichi get in on the action? Unzen was/is way more appealing than Medaka and even had the better premise. For all purposes, I had to agree with Zenkichi about him, except for the part of liking Medaka more. I can already foresee that he will be extensively out of the plot, ugh. I read the manga every week. Zenkichi is slowly yet steadily stealing Medaka's screentime, and he gets both some serious development AND kickass action scenes. Tachii said: Kung-Fu-Jesus said: I Think you guys are forgetting one of the best characters that came out of the Flask Plan Arc. He'll Kill you. Naze was probably the best character in that Arc. Probably the most developed character. And her style is pretty unique. Actually Naze started to be awesome after the Flask Plan arc ended. Kei is pretty kickass but yeah, nobody tops Actually looking forward to the final Anime Original episode. No Medaka? Yes, please~! |
 |
| Indeed Naze gets more awesome but she was cool to begin with. I'm just biased over smart characters in a series overfilled with overpowered characters. |
| That fight was fucking epic and I loved it. That sudden change back to her normal personality o.o wow. And lol its no big deal just a few broken bones and battered organs. Ooooh so Shiranui's grandfather is the head director of the school, hmm interesting. |
 |
| DAMN YOU GAINAX FOR ONLY ADAPTING THE WORST PART OF THE MANGA (Even though you did a good job on the battle scenes). All I ever wanted was to see Kumagawa, the best villain in any series ever (Yes he even beats out Kotomine), kick ass and engage in Kumagawa-like shennanigans. Hell, if we get a season two I'd want it to skip right past the flask plan and get straight into the minus arc. |
| Good episode, Medaka could turn back with nakama power. Just one episode left. |
| And no one was expelled or fined for the damages to the school. |
GarLogan78 said: And no one was expelled or fined for the damages to the school. This school is nothing like a normal school, you don't expel the test subjects you are studying if you know what I'm getting to. |
|
GarLogan78 said: And no one was expelled or fined for the damages to the school. ......It's anime. |
| My Devianart Oh & Space Brothers is still the best anime ever,in my opinion.Even when competing with Attack on Titan. |
| Lol I was hoping Unzun would grab Medaka's boobs when he had her trapped for a bit. Low and behold, he does it! Needless to say, I was smiling the rest of the ep after that ;D One ep left.. |
 |
Jeddy017 said: GarLogan78 said: And no one was expelled or fined for the damages to the school. ......It's anime. Actually as far as Medaka-box stand, that's still a valid question. The answer is not 'because it's an anime' though but rather 'because both Unzen and Medaka cannot be expelled for some untold reason yet'. Medaka is mofo rich anyway so repairing a school or two should be nothing, she is the successor of a family that literally can support a country's economy last time I checked and that's without counting all the prize money she got for her accomplishment. Seriously Medaka could hire the president of Japan to clean her shoes by licking it and it wouldn't surprise me. |

| This episode had so much foreshadowing... edit: So much spoilers in this thread. |

| I wouldn't mind a second season of this, actually. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |

The next part of the manga isn't much better since it's really average generic shounen stuffs. The real good stuffs comes after that. I pretty much identify it as a second genre shift, a much more subtle one. |
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.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| The fight was a little lackluster for me. Kind of moved when the other SC members stopped her. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Medaka's destructive power is pure awesome, really enjoyed this one. |
| Meh, some of the parts in this episode were just too corny for me. |
Maddo_scientisto said: Not really sure why the Headmaster of the school is not on the character list but for those who read the manga it's pretty obvious why they weren't expelled. It's not just beacuse it's an anime, it's because this school is completely different than what a normal school is.Jeddy017 said: GarLogan78 said: And no one was expelled or fined for the damages to the school. ......It's anime.

| Fans of the manga need to remember one thing. This series was one where the author had a character proclaim that the manga would end before the anime would start to air. It's not hard to believe Medaka Box anime might be that kind of troll where they will go around and say "Ha we got one more season. Silly viewers who didn't see the shadows." |

Well,something did end.The arc. But I hope the 2nd part will happen. |

| haha the school is gone, now can confirm Shiranui is no ordinary student i think i get it, Medaka was an alien sent to earth when she was a baby in order to kill all humans but she lost her memory and thought she is one of us... sounds familiar right |

Medaka is human, she's not an experiment or anything that cliche. She's only a human, a talented one but someone that was gifted by birth and not because of some third rate experiment. |
|
| Well after this ep, I was like fuck it, time to see if the manga is worth the hype. Holy shit. Just read through the entire Medaka Box manga over the course of the last 2 days and its ridiculous (good way). When shit really hits the fan is right after the next arc, the Flask Plan is done and you get into the Minus Arc. Holy shit. I don't regret skipping ahead and spoiling myself, though I usually would because I've just come to the personal conclusion that this anime will never be as good as the manga. TLDR: Went and read manga, it's fucking good later on. edit: I only really decided to skip ahead because I was somewhat disappointed at the action / how it was resolved etc. But really I would say its worth it in the REALLY long run. |

| FUCK YES I KNEW IT |
Darklight0303 said: FUCK YES I KNEW IT I'm only happy for a s2 because of a possible s3. I don't really care about the next arc being animated, I only want my minus and anshin arc =D. |

| I'm happy for a s2 because of the new characters and kumagawa's scene at the end. THEY HAVE TO SHOW IT. |

The statement about ending the series before an anime was NOT what it looked like. Actually, it was like THE MOST OBVIOUS PLOT-TWIST NOBODY SAW COMING EVER. I love how the mangaka handled it. |
|
| haha unzen is actualy kinda cute :> |
 |
| I'm waiting for this moment !! ) Aaaaaaa !! Misogi ♥♥♥  |
 |
| ugh that annoying little brat talks way too much. I still find it boring when the focus is on Medaka. Too strong. I liked it better when the others did more. |
 |
| lol what a joke.This looks like the sketch comedy/school club helping gig wasn't getting votes so the original creator did a 180 and change the style to action... Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
Osianilist said: lol what a joke.This looks like the sketch comedy/school club helping gig wasn't getting votes so the original creator did a 180 and change the style to action... Sent with Mal Updater That wasn't the case. Medaka box always has been a fighting shounen, it was just disguised as a comedy. In the start Medaka overpower the kendo club then Zenkichi had to fight with Akune then Kikaijima 'fight' against Medaka in a physical competition. Medaka was just so strong, it was just so one sided that you beleived that it was a comedy when it was always intended to turn the way it is. This season is just the start, the introduction of the characters. This season hold as much importance as the start of the Ichigo/Rukia school life arc Bleach had. |
|
| So it was resolved just like that. |
