For anyone who hasn't watched the latest Sakurasou I suggest you get the tissues out beforehand. You're in for one hell of a ride.

Much better than that film with the doctor, which was just more of the same except the antagonist was quite dull. :s:

Oh yeah that's what I meant. :mmm:

With the Kimura ova we havnt ever seen much of the other characters fighting their own matches. So it was a good glimpse into another characters history and motivations. And that fight really was a good match. :cry2:

Yeah wait till you can download new challenger, the animation alone is :coma:

I don't do much else unfortunately :tongue:

I don't play any sports anymore so i'm not busy every weekend and I don't have any big time consuming hobbies :lol:

Mix that with the limited hours of a uni course, boredom during the day and its pretty much what I do to pass the time :tongue:

I'm not going to watch them all at the same time, just one by one as i've finished my other anime.

Si I just noticed :smile:

i've not seen the last ep' yet but i'd welcome a second series.
Whether or not that happens is a different question :holmes:

Agreed, and I'm sure a third season is on the cards. Overall, I really enjoyed watching this. The characters are likeable and the humour, whilst questionable at times, never failed to put a smile on my face every episode.

Yeah, she really came into her own this season, although I personally preferred her more serious/emotional side than the crazy one she exhibited earlier on. :tongue:

Might as well relay my thoughts briefly on the endings of Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo and Zetsuen no Tempest.

I think the former really stood out as one of the best romance/drama series in recent years, and I certainly didn't anticipate this upon watching the PV before it aired, so in that regard it's one of the biggest surprises too. The scripting was really solid, for the most part, and the characters were definitely likeable. That aside, if you ignored the shenanigans that occurred for comedic sake (which were amusing), the drama counterpart was brilliantly portrayed. It dealt with every day issues of success and failure that all of us have experienced in some form or another. My only gripe is that the romance took a back seat nearing the end, and in particular...

Spoiler

There's signs of a possible second season at some point down the road, so here's to hoping.

Now with the latter, you can usually expect something great from Bones, given the staff they typically employ, but occasionally they don't, so I'm glad with this offering they did. Tempest's script was simply excellent with all of its twists and turns. When you have the viewer guessing what'll happen next, but repeatedly doing something else, you know you're on to something good. The characters were likeable enough, and had the necessary complexity to compliment and carry the story. The Shakespeare references were appreciated too. Lastly, really good production as you'd expect and for once, a decent ending.
