Finally some new characters is popping up in the show. It appear it is not only another gangster again but probably some new potential student council member as well. This episode in my opinion is rather dull. As always comparing this episode to the previous 2 this one is less interesting at certain point. I’m not [...]

Zenkichi is now seems to be spending time in every martial art club in the school as a temporary member, thus gained himself a nickname “Club crasher”. He is actually a very capable and talented person that every club he attended wanted him to be a permanent member though he turned them down because he [...]

This week’s episode focuses a tad bit more on Zenkichi, who has been checking up on the various clubs at the school. The show seems to be taking a half-episode approach…with each episode having two stories. But they’re not happening simultaneously…one just happens, then the next one starts. Are the arcs really that short? I [...]

You'd think that Hitoyoshi would have enough on his plate simply complying to the whims of Medaka every day, but somehow as this third episode of Medaka Box begins we discover that he's still finding the time to try his hand at various school sports clubs. Thus, before he knows it Hitoyoshi has gained a reputation as a "club crasher" for his brief forays into various groups.  It's this label

Little birds sang that the manga initially had very poor ratings, and had to be turned into a powerleveling-of-the-week battle manga just to be allowed to continue. I leave judging this to the mangafags, but looking at the anime adaptation … Continue reading →

「余計な真似だよ!!／めだかさんの御心のままにっ!!」 (Yokei na Mane da yo!! / Medaka-san no Mikokoro no Mama ni!!) "None of Your Business!! / As You Wish, Medaka-san!!" I'm forced to conclude that everyone in this show is a monster.

…. dammit, Medaka. Show some restraint for poor Zenkichi (and all the male viewers). Three episodes in, still not used to her voice. And these parts they are animating are boring as fuck sigh.

  There were entirely too many half-naked men today. Impressions: Like I said last week, I think my interest will last only so long as Deen Zombies #1 continues to rehash the last season and fill the time with utter nonsense. On the up side (or down side), it doesn’t look like that’s going to [...]

Smile. Rest assured, this will be a hit.[[MORE]] Kamina. …from the 2%. Say, you went to Wall Street? I am Madoka Meduka Medaka. …and I have a superiority complex. …I also reject your argument about the 2%. Kamina again? Yes, you are. Rating (@Baka_Raptor Scale): +++.

Medaka Box continues with another two “wishes”… er, I mean “suggestions” they’ll grant (I mean help fulfilling). The first one is about a girl in the track team got her spike torn and cut, compete with a threat letter (a letter to force her to resign from the team actually). As a super perfect Medaka [...]

Sad Medaka doggy is sad… Well, our round of First Impression posts for Spring 2012 are starting to come to a close, and we’re starting to get our first batch of 2nd episodes. Medaka Box didn’t exactly start well, but I’m all about second chances, so let’s see how this one turns out. Clearly enough [...]

Kurokami Medaka has become student council president at Sandbox Academy, despite being a first-year. One of her campaign pledges was the institution of a suggestion box, and the first request is to chase out some delinquents who have taken up residence in the kendo dojo. Medaka enlists her childhood friend Zenkichi and the student council moves into action and heads for the kendo dojo... Medaka's quite the little-miss-perfect, if truth be told - whatever she puts her mind to, she can do it, and do it perfectly. Although when it comes to that kind of character, I'm afraid Madoka (Lagrange) has her beat. This episode gives us a full introduction to her two notable traits: the ability to talk anyone into anything, and her tsundereness. (Is that a word?) The idea seems to set us up for a regular visit to her suggestion box, while we follow her through the necessary adventures while she fulfills the requests she finds there. Zenkichi, on the other hand, has a touch of the Araragis about him, in the way of his wry commenting on her actics - which, with the source manga having originally being written by NisiOisin (of Bakemonogatari fame), shouldn't come as much of a surprise. Not so much of his trademark witty wordplay yet, though. THE GOOD: Looks nice. Comes complete with GAINAX bounce. Some decent characters. THE BAD: Can't help but think we've seen it all before, and so far at least there are no surprises here to give it a USP. "Meh". Hopefully this is just a case of needing time to find its own feet, but with only 12 episodes to work with it had better get a move on. Not so bad that I'm feeling the urge to drop it yet, mind - but the 3-episode-rule looms...
