-Mashiro Shiina, Episode 12
My god, everyone seems to have a total hard-on for this show. Why? Nearly every previous review for this shit has been a 10. Is there something I missed while watching this? Seriously, what's so amazing about it?
So characters: you got your generic numbnuts male protagonist who's usually too fuckin' scared to say what he really means, a schizophrenic or something, a generic tsundere, the generic sex-crazed pervert character, and some other annoying chick. Sounds great already!
The setting: 1700's France? No, fuck you, it's a school. What did you expect?
Ok, to be fair, it's more of like a special arts school or something, but it's still, nonetheless, a school.
So what is this show about? I dunno, friendship? The wonders of growing up? Fuck, if I know. All I know is that this did NOT need to be made into 24 episodes. What was the point of it all? The main plot can be easily summarized quickly:
>guy lives with crazy people
>girl comes to live with crazy people and becomes the guy's friend
>fanservice
>another girl notices and gets upset
>she comes and lives with them
>occasional bullshit argument
>cousin or whoever comes to take first girl away
>doesn't
>happy ending?
Did that really need to go on for 24 episodes? Does everyone who enjoy this actually think this is a good plot? Am I really missing something? (No, fuck your useless bullshit subplots)
Maybe I wouldn't be so pissed about this if it wasn't so long and everyone would shut up about it. So many times, people have this on their top 10 romance anime lists and I just don't believe it. What's to like about this?
Two more notable things that pissed me off:
1. At times, this shit really felt like a harem and I personally despise harems.
2. The main protagonists announce their love at the very end. It's misery. You watched the show for an accumulated 12 hours, and all you get in return is some sappy bullshit. It's not worth it. It's never worth it.
They say the journey is better than the destination, but not if the journey is equally bullshit. This was a waste of time, a forgettable experience, and I have absolutely nothing to show for it. I'm upset to have seen this..
