Pixy on Kimi ni Todoke

The benevolent dictator of Meenuvia is also an anime fan, but unlike our own overlord Maestro, he finds time to blog about it (albeit infrequently).

Take your standard high school teen romance angst-fest... And attach a JATO unit and smash it into the side of a cliff at 600MPH where it explodes into a shower of rainbow-coloured sakura petals.

This one is actually good. Double bonus points for teenagers who aren't all jerks and/or idiots by default.

This echoes the sentiment that we've seen at Subatomic Brainfreeze: "It's like watching puppies and kittens go to high school." I didn't link it back when it was posted because it's just not true, but to argue otherwise is to post big spoilers.

Still, since good anime cannot be spoiled... Ready? Here's a screencap of some bitches beating Sawako up in the washroom:

Oh and by the way, apparently, characters who are more evil eschew direct violence and choose to pull strings, although it wasn't broadcast yet.

Granted, Pixy didn't say that all teenagers weren't jerks...

UPDATE 2009/11/16: Now he says it's the second coming of Gurren Lagann.
