Makoto is the guy who peaks in high school then goes on to do shit with his life.

Thoughts (long but I wanted to rant, stupid MC): + Show Spoiler +Man, that ending was so fucking brutal to watch. The music they used; they certainly had the impact they wanted. The constant stabs, seeing Sekai in her-out-of-her-mind mode right when Makato read her farewell message on his phone (that was fucking scary) and Makato's tearful eyes as he was dying. As much of a dick as Makato was and I was hoping he'll get taught a lesson due to what he did with Katsura (I was actually wishing that his behaviour leads someone to pregnancy so he learns), I would've never wished him to death. I also never would've imagined that Sekai would be the one to stab him. That was quite painful to watch. As soon as it happened and Sekai left without killing herself, I had a feeling that Katsura will finish her off or at least that she's going to die but man, I'm not even sure what to think of the ending.
Poor Katsura as well :'( I was rooting hard for her and hoping that she'll somehow bounce back from him neglecting her, from both Makato and Sekai not even telling her about their relationship even though she eventually knew and the constant harass from Setsuna and other members of her class which imo was to the point of ridiculousness. At one point, I thought that maybe she's going to commit suicide after seeing the knife in the kitchen when she was up at night since I read that someone dies in a spoiler by accident but then this. I thought that maybe she finally recovered after Makato chose her since it seems he thought back to how it all started and wanted to go back to being with her per his original intentions but apparently his death was too much for her to handle and then she ends up packing him in a pack(wtf!) and takes his head with her on the yacht so that she's with him... I've actually watched a movie that ended up with a policeman's wife's body and unborn child(she was pregnant) in a bag and that got delivered by a taxi to the policeman as he was about to arrest(almost kill) the guy who killed her. In the end, he ended up killing him and got taken in so I've seen a similar ending but again, Katsura having that evil smile right when she blocked Sekai's knife then killed her wasn't something I expected.
Then everyone else having sex with Makato as the anime went on as if it's a game and Makato just toying around and not realizing that he should've stopped at Sekai. What is up with this school? I'm almost tempted to say he deserved what he got but I wouldn't wish that on anyone and it's not like he's the only one who suffered from his actions and then death. Both Katsura and Sekai suffered so much due to him and we saw what happened. Katsura couldn't get over the fact that Makato was neglecting her since he couldn't score that easily with her. Sekai couldn't get over the fact that he just jumps from one person to another and doesn't want to tie himself down with anyone so he would never be hers and take responsibility for the child which was apparently a lie or at least that's what Katsura said. I would've preferred that Katsura got taken in and helped through counseling and meds rather than have her cling to his head in the middle of the sea on her yacht so that at least, one of them has been helped but I guess the author had a different idea. Just imagine if they made that last scene at the yacht more graphics *chills*
On the anime as a whole, there wasn't anything special about it. High school drama with the idiot MC being someone who only cares about having sex and doing perverted things so he neglected his first gf and started hooking up with more classmates for the sex and such but never taking responsibility. I actually liked most of the characters early on and some till the end. Sekai was nice and helped Makato hook up with Katsura even though it seems like it was for her own benefit. Katsura was pretty sweet and always had this ray of innocence and purity to her and Makato was some high school student that's seen too many movies or read too many love books etc... so I figured once he dumped the love book and started to learn more about Katsura, he'll get better. Apparently, he's just an idiot that will never learn although Sekai killing him after he recommended an abortion so he can avoid responsibility was a bit too much. sigh and to think that it started out as a rather somewhat pleasant anime. The only part that was special if you can call it that was the last episode with how everything ended. Who would've expected that Sekai would kill Makato and in turn get killed by sweet Katsura who didn't seem like she would hurt a fly early on.
I don't particularly hate this anime but I'm also not a fan of the ending at all so I can't say I fully love it either. I do have to say that I wonder what the main purpose of this anime was. Love and betrays hurt? ya, thanks for the message. I'm pretty sure everyone knows that. Most of the rest seemed standard for an anime of this type but the ending did feel a bit out of place. I would've figured Sekai would commit suicide or if not as violent, never speak with him again(with or without an abortion) with counseling and support. I would've rather he settled with one of them and dealt with the other one through supporting her rather than having all three of them end up dead or psychos and live in a yacht with a head!!!!! Just thinking about the ending again makes me feel sick >< This is how everyone wants most all harem anime to end up, minus the ending. Makoto is a hero MC, and Sekai is the scum of all evil. The complete opposite of this anime is IS. Everyone wants to be hero = everyone wants to be like Makoto

Lol, yeah he could probably be spy or something too. Or become some kind of post-modern/new age/post new-age classic modern whatever artist. Or at least get some kind of sweet job with his creativity.

seems like D-Frag gets better as it goes on.

This is probably the first season where I've paid attention to what's being released and gave a good chunk of what's new a try. For some reason I find it easier to watch an episode a week as they come rather than sort through my back log that includes LoGH and stuff from last season like Non Non Biyori, and stuff from seasons before that like Gatchaman, SxS and Uchouten Kazoku >.<
Watching
Chuu2 Ren D-Frag WCW Nisekoi Tonari no Seki-kun Mahou Sensou Noragami SYD* Sekai Seifuku
I tried the two Nobunaga shows but didn't particularly enjoy them, and I couldn't get through the first episode of Hoozuki.

Currently still in considering:
Nobunagun (because i like rockman and this show is like a parody to EVA) Hamatora (i like the pacing of this show so far plus super power fighting+thriller/homicide) chuni2 (couple stuffs might get bored)
Interested but havent watched: Wizard Barristers (heard that its debut looks really good but it might fail hard like Galileidonna) pupa Mahou Sensou SYD
Watching: Gunpla, KLK, log horizon carry over from last season RGZ (TOO GOOD) silverspoon s2 WCW (lastest manga chapter is 25, i want to see how it turns out in anime)
|
Im prbly just gonna wait for the season to come close to the end as always before picking up anything new.

My favorite animes are Shingeki no Kyojin and Sword Art Online, and I hate moe animes, so I'm pretty much a connoisseur of anime.
So believe me when I say that this season is definitely the worst season, ever. Of the year.
