True colors have been shown. Though I can say the anime is by far more softcore.

Here's the manga scene of what Unzen did to the club while in the anime it didn't show anyone.

I've been resisting the urge to watch the anime...but I seriously have to see how nicely they pull Unzen's insanity off...

You might as well just start on episode 8, you know what happens in the first 7 if you follow the manga (it's quite faithful, which is good!).

Yup, we warned him that it would turn into a traditional shounen series after a while :lol:

And yeah, I'll probably start from episode 8, seeing as it seems like they didn't add any filler stuff, which is nice...if they plan on making it go for a while though, I can see some filler after the

Yeah, but it doesn't make it any less disappointing to have such a fun show go this route.

If they follow the manga completely...it goes closer to a mix around

the student council pupil stuff (couldn't think of the word), switching between comedy, and non-shounen style battles...


And yes Vamp, I recommend reading those spoilers, just didn't wanna get yelled at for spoiling an arc

It changed because the series couldn't sustain itself the way it was going. IIRC, it was either change or get cancelled. The author was bitter and part of what makes the series great is how he kinda lashes back at JUMP and shounen action series in general as it goes on.

...Or so I'm told. Anime only for me.

The thing is most people don't realize (or care to analyze) that Isin is metagaming shounen-style battles in Medaka Box :X The fights are more about everything *except* the fights, it's pretty slick. Some of the fight mechanics were neat, but overall, for me, it was much more interesting to see the analysis behind the characters, the story/situation, and the side commentary than the actual fights themselves. And that's how most of the battles are, too, aside from the fact that half of them don't actually make any real sense, lol, which is just more parody without being an obvious parody.

Exactly, you pretty much have to see passed the fighting itself to get full enjoyment out of it I think...
