Season 2 really does make more sense without you having to hurt your brain thinking about it like in Season 1. I did enjoy the wildly trying to figure out what was going on in the first season though. Read all that�s out for Oyotomegatari/A Bride�s Story. It�s pretty good, by the same author as Emma, Draco. The art is the main reason I read it. It�s so detailed and captivating, and never really decreases in quality. Every panel has the same high quality as a chapter opening image or cover. The plot and characters are more okay. It�s kinda a mix of shoujo and the grown up version of shoujo I forgot the name. Being historical fiction and supposedly quite accurate (well, many things i�m not buying, it�s obviously filled up with modern japanese values instead of late 19th century turkish ones) it�s sometimes hard to wrap your mind around things, like that a 20 year old could be in love with her 12 year old husband. But it�s interesting.

Wait, who are you and what did you do with the real Miral?

It's one of those things that "could," have been good, and maybe it gets better after that... but yeah.

The plot isn't anything special and the characters are unlikeable as well. The animation and art is nicely done but that's about it. Noragami is currently airing and has a kinda similar plot so maybe that would be a good alternative? Only the first 2 episodes have aired but it seems pretty enjoyable from that. Ga Rei Zero also has a similar plot and is a good watch if you're interested.

Pirate Wavemaster Posts: 10,690 Group: Clanless Member #375 Joined: September 18, 2008 Gender: XY Country: #226#	After storm mentioned Higurashi no naku koro ni Rei, while I was re-confirming some things on wikipedia, I noticed there was another short series, 4 episodes long, that came out recently called Higurashi no naku koro ni Kira. So I just finished watching that. The first episode of it was just as stupid as Rei's, the next couple were pretty good, and then came its last episode. Oooooo my gosh, that last episode was so good, and adorable.

Parishioner Posts: 452 Group: Clanless Member #983 Joined: June 3, 2012 Gender: Male Country: USA	I guess I'll watch both eventually. I would like the silly episodes if they weren't "unrealistic", like tanking a shotgun shell to the chest... I started Log Horizon last night. Akatsuki is indeed ftw and I really like the strategy they use in battles. Love the ED, wonder if it will be getting a new one soon.
