    JC Staff. You need to know, this is how you properly do an adaption. This season. Not the garbage that you pulled with Zero no Tsukaima and Shana II.

    This is how to correctly do it. Now, go do it again.

    The narrative in this season was fantastic, with it introducing and sympathizing with characters that were antagonists previously, to the point where you are cheering for them.

    And to top it all off, it has a fantastic ending.

    "Byebye" scene in Rinne no Lagrange cracked me up. It was a very nice finale imo, I can't wait for next season.


    Moretsu was also great. I'm loving these space adventure, and I hope the 2nd half will have more like stuff like this.

    ZnT finale was as retarded as the rest of the show. I was sure the pope would be back considering how retarded his end was 2 episodes ago...I guess not. And Saito stealing a jett? That was easier than I thought it would be.

    Shit, now I have to rewatch Shana 1 and 2 in fast forward or something so I can remember stuff.

    Was funny, but also really touching I think.

    Generally I liked it more than I thought in the end, waiting for S2 now

    Ano Natsu de Matteru Ep12 [END]

    This was surprisingly well crafted Ending. Sure, nothing it offers is particularly original, but this is a show that demonstrates how easy really talented and experienced writers and directors can make utter quality look.

    Random thoughts:

    -As expected, the Lake was indeed "Lake Kizaki" from Onegai Teacher.

    -Was great hearing Mizuho's voice again "Onegai Teacher's heroine".

    -Lemon is awesome.

    Another's ending
    Spoiler: show

    I liked it. Was pretty intense and while definitely not perfect, the "dead one"'s twist caught me offguard (still trying to decide whether I liked the twist or not). The phone call felt a little silly and I think they could've used an extra episode for the mansion, since everyone just went batshit crazy so fast in the last episode, but overall I really enjoyed the series.

    Also: lol'd at the translation at the beginning: "this is not normal". No shit bro, lol.

    It's pretty clear that Yamano Remon = Morino Ichigo. We got more than enough hints.
    - They share the exact same seiyuu and character design.
    - It is implied that she was in high school with Manami (Tetsuro's sister) at some point, to which she responded "I'm eternally 17."
    - In episode 9 towards the end she says a line that directly references Kei and Ichigo's standstill sickness. "That's right. Move. Don't stop. Move forward."
    - Her name (likely a pseudonym) is a play on her real name. Yamano Lemon = mountain of lemons, Morino Ichigo = forest of strawberries.
    - In the final episode her monologue about the first alien she met was a clear reference to Mizuho.

    Those are the hints off the top of my head, but there could be more.

    Another ep. 12 (final episode)

    Spoiler: show
    Wait..what? So, a Kou lookalike killed his aunt a year and half ago, but forgot about it? Mei knew, but never told anyone for some reason (probably because she is weird in the first place). I'm fine with that, but ending the show like this leave a bitter taste...I wanted more resolve with Kou's and Mei's backstory.

    Also, the carnage at the inn was a little over the top. Too many death is like not enough.

    Yeah, I'm still trying to wrap my head around that.

    Spoiler: show
    I'm technically okay with her being the extra, but her original death just seems out of the blue. Was it really him? And if so, was he under the influence of whatever and his subsequent health issues rooted in related trauma?

    I can't recall if she ever came up while he was talking with his father or more directly interacting with his grandparents (of which I assume his father thought he was staying with), too. I guess the bird seemed to know, as well.

    My power of observation totally flopped in not realizing she was the assistant teacher.

    I thought it was him because it kinda looked like him, and he was supposed to be around, but maybe he just showed up for the funeral. Idk.

    I've no idea why he forgot everything. I suppose it's just the curse re-arranging his memory to make it looks like she never died.

    I also wanted to know more about Misaki's family, her power, and everything. The OVA might answer some question, but I doubt it will be enough.


    And don't feel too bad about your lacking power of observation, you're not the only one lol

    I just watched the episode, and I share the exact same sentiments, lol. By the end, I was "wtf'ing" more than I was like "Wow, that was quite a nice story".

    Nichibros 12-FINAL

    Most satisfying ending I've seen in a while. I miss it already.

  17. #937

    It was a good run, not the funniest around or the best, but week to week it kept me entertained and wanting more. It will be missed.

    Another 12 had a satisfying ending, but there are certainly a lot of questions and uncertainties as to why they would do the finale like that. People have mostly covered it but overall I loved this show. Certainly didn't catch onto who was dead until now, so it was at least successful in that.

    A really fun episode. The show's first episode really didn't win me over at all, but I'm glad I kept with it, it ended up being really enjoyable.

    If there was ever a show I wanted a second season of, it would 100% be this show. Finally showed off how over-powered the Master was, and how instead of aiming just for Class A, or the Queen, the entire team (Well, almost the entire team) is now gunning to top the Master. So incredibly good! I know it's based off of a Manga, but I don't think it's translated that far at all, so I dunno how far it has actually gotten story wise. Here's hoping there's enough material and that the show was popular enough to warrant the Studio doing a second season

    Hahaha, that's awesome. It reminds me of the whole Pokemon series being Ash's dream after he was struck by lightning in the first episode
