I only read not too far, and I'm curious why they think we should dislike her?

She's basically just Haruhi with power to back her up.

Plus, she's not really 'invincible' as has been shown.

But, everyone has their own opinion on things.

If it really IS that which is said it is, not sure If I'll continue to like this. I'm enjoying this because of the slice of life aspects and how it reminds me of Haruhi in a lot of ways.

Since, Medaka's like, quite obviously, Haruhi

If you like it for how it is right now, you should just go watch/read SKET Dance.

Not sure how violent it'll get in the anime but in the manga
Spoiler:
it does get quite bloody. (Manga Spoiler Image)


The opening even has some of foreshadowing.

Image of the scene in the opening I'm talking about

I don't think the anime will get to far though, as it was (i think) confirmed as 12 episodes only, which probably won't even get it as far as the image I posted in the first spoiler.

You should do this anyway, SKET Dance is the awesome.

@vamp: It may steer away from the slice-of-life style, but it's still NisiOisin-flavored, I'd recommend at least giving it a shot. The characterization is quite superb throughout the manga, I was certainly interested all throughout the manga regardless of the direction it went. It's hard not to appreciate the various trolling Isin does as well~

Wow...just...wow

And yeah, I need to get to catching up on Sket Dance again some day.

But...how in the world did it go from what it started off to that :?

Well, to be fair, it always had battle, even with the Slice of Life aspects.

Wait for a while and you'll see ~

The battle was never anything serious though.

Yet. They are the first episodes after all. While the anime will have serious battles, they'll keep the Slice of Life elements for a long time.

I think the manga changed due to editors interfering, seeing as IIRC, it was in danger of getting canceled for a while after it started (think around ch. 20) but yeah, it can get pretty bloody in the manga, though the current chapters are more laid back compared to the scene shown :lol:

And I agree, watch Sket Dance, it's awesome :P

Don't ask me, the readers of JUMP in Japan have some odd taste, heck, there have been a few manga canceled that I've really enjoyed :P

Mx0 was gonna be my example, but i decided to avoid putting it, since some might not know what it is, resulting in them reading it, and being disappointed with the lame ending :P

Though i did enjoy Mx0, Among mine were "Lock-On!" and "Metallica Metalluca"
And watching Medaka Box progress makes me question why this hasn't ended yet, while manga with obvious potential were sent to the void... .__.

The second episode was also pretty sweet ~
Next episode will mark the official appearance of my least favorite character. :/
