BTW... what happened to Five Star Monogatari?
Nagano's arrogance and insanity is probably going to keep that from ever finishing.

Assassination Classroom kind of promised this big buildup with an interesting background and lots of room for character growth and then... just kind of did nothing with it. Makes me sad.

Some cultural references too, here and there. I wonder if the audience gets them ; I don't see a lot of anime that have characters spending so much time speaking about real books | ||

"This should be really cheesy and boring, but the characters are good enough where it's fun and cute instead". I'm ok with that. Agreed, this last chapter was incredibly cute. How do you find it boring and fun though? | ||

To me, it's really trope-tastic and should be boring because they use a lot of the standard manga rom-com things, but the characters and writing are good enough that it's fun instead. Hence why I like it a lot  | ||

You can smack the audience in the face with references all you want, but if the audience has never read any of the books they've been mentioning so far, they won't get it. I was able to write an entire essay just based on the dialogue during one of the previous episodes where Makishima talked about + Show Spoiler + Gibson, Orwell and Dick. | ||

The first one that is, I thin like ep 4 or 5? Aside from that I've liked all episodes. | ||

I don't think I've disliked any episodes, at most I've been kinda neutral to them. Why did you dislike the spooky boogie episode? I'm curious as to why. When it comes to episodes I liked, though, I really liked the ones with the Rikako girl and the girl school/human art murders (~episode 7 or so I think). Why? Because I love Sakamoto Maaya and I was reading KnS at the time, haha. Halfway through Monster. So far, I'm really pleased. I really like long series that make good use of the number of episodes by being able to develop the characters and the main plot while having good and interesting subplots, and I really feel like Monster is doing that. I agree on the pacing suddenly jumping a lot between fast paced and action filled and being slow, but I kinda like it. Also, I'm very interested in both Johan and Lunge as characters (Lunge more so). They switched from a good ED to a terrible one though. As usual  | ||

Also, shit is going down in R;N, PP and SSY. | ||

I kind of want to go through all the episodes and compile a list of references to books/philisophy/whatever makishima is talking about. The dialogue makes me want to go through and read all of the books. Loved the episode but + Show Spoiler + 2nd time i've seen a secret room full of brains | ||

Otherwise, I liked it. ZNF thought the characters were drawn ugly on purpose to make people dislike them but I thought they were fine... | ||
