In a twist which will surprise no one, the second season of Medaka Box is just as awful as the first. I like the manga, but come on, this is awful. These people simply don’t know how to tell a … Continue reading →

Oh man, it begins! This is where Medaka box completely takes a turn for the weird and absurd. I guess it really began with Unzen, but you haven’t seen nothing…

For all of the hopes placed upon it, Medaka Box turned out to be a decidedly poor and broadly dull showing from GAINAX - with better source material ahead and a second bite at its proverbial cherry, can this second season fare any better? Following on directly from the first series, Abnormal's first episode brings us to the aftermath of Medaka Kurokami's defeat of Unzen, leaving a hefty chunk of

  Needs more balls, less jabbering. Impressions: Well, it sort of started well, with ball crushing and whatnot. That’s about where the excitement… and the budget more or less ended though. The next ten straight minutes, including most of the bloody OP, were just one long, cheap, pathetic info dump slash number spew. Could they have [...]

Truthfully, I find it hard to write about a series like Medaka Box. From even before it aired, one could already tell this anime was going to cater to fanservice. Yet, this series first caught my eye with its sharp and flamboyant art style, as well as the fact the manga was written, though not [...]

Let’s get something straight: the Medaka Box anime adaptation falls apart for most of the second half. It goes into a long, boring arc about some punk kid who’s the very caricature of a shonen villain, buttressed by some fake philosophical crap which comes off as utterly stupid and pretentious, and it drops all the [...]

  Medaka Box is yet another JUMP anime about the student council and helping people. In some way, it's kind of similar to Sket Dance. But for the most part of it, they are quite different. I usually don't watch anime with super big boobs female as the main character. But since Medaka Box is a JUMP anime and only has 12 episodes, I decided to give it a shot. Frankly, it's very mediocre. A second season has been confirmed. I'm not sure if I'll be watching it. I guess it depends on my mood then. From what I've heard, following the plot, the second season should be more interesting. Story: (6/10) – Fair When newly elected Student Council President Kurokami Medaka institutes her idea for a suggestion box where people can submit problems that need to be solved, she's expecting things like rescuing lost puppies and giving advice. What she and her best friend Hitoyoshi find instead, however, are the first hints of an unbelievable secret, and their school, Hakoniwa Academy, and Medaka herself are somehow at the very center of the growing maelstrom! As what seemed like an innocent past time turns into a dangerous game, Medaka and her recruits to the Student Council discover new depths to both themselves and their own unexpected abilities. And then things get really out of control!  As expected, the series somehow turned into a battle anime in the last few episodes. Since Medaka is the only one from the student council fighting, it gets boring after a while. Also, I hate the fact that the series is overly focused on Medaka and I'm sick of Hitoyoshi's narration about how good she is. =.= Even though Medaka didn't appear in the last episode, half of the episode was dedicated to talking about how great she is. That's really too much!! Character: (6/10) – Fair Japanese often use blood type to predict personality. In Medaka Box, ALL the characters who are introduced so far have AB blood type. People with AB blood type are known to be creative but they can be hard to read too. Unfortunately, even with so many ABs gathering together, I don't find the characters very interesting. The most interesting and mysterious character so far is perhaps Shiranui. With the appearance of Akune senpai, I thought the rivalry between Hitoyoshi and Akune senpai would bring sparks to the series and make it more interesting. Unfortunately, the rivalry was a very short lived one. =.= Art/Animation: (6/10) – Fair The art is not to my liking. The guys are too muscular and the girls are too well-endowed. The animation is not too bad though. Music: (6/10) – Fair I don't think the themes suit the anime at all and they are not my cup of tea. Enjoyment: (6/10) – Fair Medaka Box is not funny nor exciting. It has a lot of pointless fan service too and unfortunately, the fan service is not very appealing to me, mainly due to the art style. Overall: (6/10) – Fair There are many other more interesting series out there about school life. I don't think I'll recommend this to anyone.
