The only good TsundeRie.

The best kugyuu, and also a male protagonist who manages to grow massive fucking cajones

>>284848407
The openings and endings are god tier at least.

Movie is good too. 3rd season is shit.

3rd season had pacing issues but I also don't think I'd qualify it as shit.

>>284848407
Liked Shana, the book and hot office lady as characters, but found the story to be really boring, Ended up dropping it around the start of the 2nd season

>>284849075
S2 was mostly fanfic material so S3 had to rush the plot to reach the end

I'm on S3 and being honest it's only good because of Kugyu and KOTOKO, otherwise the plot is kind of meandering and the MC is inferior to ZnT.

You missed out. In season 3 the male lead becomes a gigabased rapechad.

>>284850196
That's what happens when you have too many filler episodes centered around the losing girl, unfortunately

That happened because JC Staff decided to write a bunch of OC episodes in season 2 for no good reason and skip a bunch of important characterization to make it fit.

Would actually be amazingly based if it were like that from the start and apparently the books are more like that.

But just imagine if they went even further and rather than his being a boyscout which annoys the protagonist at the start, he's actually really popular and a smug sexually harassing rapechad but still shows the same willingness to sacrifice what little power of existence he has left for his friends.

>>284852114
No way. It feels cathartic to see him become like that because he wasn't like that at the start.

>>284852114
No, it wouldn't. Why do people nowadays hate character development?

>>284851560
Really? It's true Yuuji wasn't as funny as Saito but him (spoilers) blew my mind when I was 14

>>284852220
Should at least be better explained. It's just a random weird tonal shift with no explanation in the adaptation.

>>284852379
Fine, start him rapey, then make him even more rapey. There was no “development”; it was just a tonal shift.

The important part is that he's rapey and creates conflict in the protagonist.

Author ended up writing the story for Atelier Ryza.

>>284853667
I...what?
Fuck, I didn't realize that he wrote Ryza. That actually explains a lot.

Shana is the posterchild for being a good girl trapped in a bad anime. Shana is the ONLY good character, every other character is stupid and annoying, and as the show goes on, there are more and more stupid and annoying characters cluttering up the story and less and less of Shana being awesome.

You will learn more than you ever thought possible about little girl emotions.

Is Shana a little girl though? She's technically a JK.

>>284856071
I liked Margery and Wilhelmina...

>>284856131
Well, whatever she is, she's going to teach you about little girl emotions.

>>284856145
>I liked Margery and Wilhelmina...

Would you watch an anime with them in it if there was no Shana?

>>284856268
>Wilhelmina
Probably not.
>Margery
100% yes.

A messy adaptation.

>>284856131
The arrow is an important detail. Ensuring the viewer sees her DFC is the main goal.
