This show really splits opinions, but for me this show splits me for being in two parts.

The first part of the second season focusing on the GGO series and that story arch I found absorbing well done, perhaps not the best I had ever seen but it still kept me wanting to watch more. I liked the new setting and the new characters, and ultimately I can't say that I didn't enjoy it.

However when the show changed over from the GGO side and back to ALO, I think that it really lost focus, there was no overarching story just episode or 2 stories that didn't ... really link up to anything at all.

I still liked it as I have liked season 1 and 2 up to then but it was very much a shadow of its previous parts.

Firstly: I'm going to keep it to the point to save you sifting through miles of text :D

I was new to Shoujo-ai anime I thought that this well done.

It has all the things that are expected from Romantic Comedies, but it also has its own turn on the genre. It has a balanced set of characters, which are really well developed, and they all bring something to the fray, be it comedy, or a serious point of the storyline.

Although the anime was a little predictable in the storyline, it didn't matter, as it was enough to keep me watching and not dismiss it. Generally it ... focuses on the relationships of the protagonist and her struggles but it makes you wonder if they made it into strictly a romance or a comedy whether it could have been better.

However, despite this, as a result this anime is thoroughly enjoyable, beautifully drawn, made and developed, its the characters, laughs and warm feel it gave that kept it going until the end with a good conclusion.

I'd recommend it to people who are regulars to the shoujo-ai scene and also to people who are new to it as I was. It has an enticing story and it kept me watching. 7/10 :)
