Mixed Feelings
There is an abundance of people in the world considered enigmas. Un-explainable, insane and completely out on the outer rim. Their persona ultimately comes to be accepted or completely rejected, most cases swinging either way.

Medaka Box or "Suggestion Box" sparked my interest by means of such an enigma known as Kurokami, Medaka but ended up just being another anime I couldn't really appreciate. I can't really say anything let me find a groove of enjoyment.

Being another school based setting this rather failed to bring much of anything called "New" to the table, its outright out done and gets boring after dozens of morbid failures. I just keep running flaws after flaws in my head but picking a few out of a handful is hard.

First off, the art style just down right turned me off. I can't really say it was done very well at all, it felt almost low budget. The level of detail in anything was non existent and the thing that annoyed me the most were the character drawings. As we all know anything anime related is hardly comparable to real world applications, especially on the character sides. What I really want to touch on are the facial features, everything is low detail, everything overlaps and it just feels like a thrown together slop job. Unless you're into fan service I assume you were staring at "Jugs" a majority of the time.

Now I felt that Medaka's character was out of place all over the map. Going from looking like the innocent school girl to a DragonBall Z parody was just appalling. I for one want to see more of the "Character of interest and power" show less empathy for the students or people around them. I can't really appreciate an overpowered character try and bring out the inner goodness of people then eliminate anything or anyone threatening the peace. Its just been done too much already, and in a school setting it just feels out of place.

I really put this entire series off on weekly basis because it had it lacked substance. It was slow paced and put me off. I can't really say I enjoyed it at all. Maybe one day originality will be norm.

Don't let me make you pass this though, if you're a fan of club based shows with a cute main lead you might give this a watch.
