The first 6-ep arc is awesome. And then the next one is weak and leaves ou thinking ‘well, it’ll probably pick up again soon.’ And then there’s a little flashback arc which makes you think ‘okay, it’ll pick up again after the flashback’ and then next thing you know, you’ve finished the show, you’re wondering why you can’t remember the last 8 episodes, and you’re still thinking ‘well, it was really good in the beginning, right?’

When I finished Shana, I recognized that it was terrible, but for some reason I still liked it. It wasn’t until the second season that, only 4 EPS IN, I came to completely and utterly hate it, because it totally reverts back to like episode 14 of the first season like nothing happened.

Lolicon jokes aside, the character-driven side of things is what’s keeping me interested…when you’ve seen one anime fight you’ve seen them all really so the combat thing isn’t nearly as interesting to me as the after-effects that it has on the characters involved.

Her real age shows in matters of love, and of course, makes her more cute when she gets dere-dere. This of course futher proves your point about the interesting charactor interactions.
