It's not entirely smooth sailing, but what bloggers said was true: it's about girls being friends (and enemies, but it's not very intense).
My biggest gripe is the weird art, which sometimes abates, sometimes comes in full force. Those eyes, they're just bad.
I deal with the issue by ignoring …
read moreYes, I know about ep.25
Dozens completely lost their minds blogging about the ending of Code Geass R2(S2). You wouldn't believe the show's ratings were as abysmal as they were, after seeing all that enthusiasm. They even un-retired Owen.

Aside from the density of it, looks like a …

Animenation editorizes on the topic of anime gradually receding from American mainstream entertainment, and specifically the broadcast TV. John is aware that TV is becoming less and less relevant:
