Misao is mean stringing Shirase like that even though she likes the other boy.

Nice shout out to fansub watchers too.

there ain't really good explanation anywhere wich explains why the serie stopped here. since it's now 6 years since this serie was aired, you can also tell there won't be a 2nd season anyway. this serie was a good, but since it got cut of like this, I can't say I'm quite satisfied. still i'd give it a decent 8/10

Actually I do not which my worst enemy what they did to Midnick (watch freedom downtime).

...

Anyway, liked this anime. Was not realistic, but fun. Shirase was a fun character as the average guy who could do wizardry things every once in a while. They somehow kept the episodes and the ending too terse. Would have some great potential, especially the relationship things, but oh well..

Wow, um... guys... no. There will be no second season. The first season didn't even finish getting made. That's why it stops were it does. That's also the reason I didn't finish the series. I figured that if they weren't gonna finish making it, I wouldn't finish watching it.

BPS is gone. Most likely forever. The first series was never finished.

So do I. I just had the urge to go finish it today. I was instantly filled with remorse, knowing that I would never see more of that unrealistic yet extremely cool hacking skill.

Ah, that's why he apologized to the people who use some action to watch it on their PC monitors and foreigners who just put on some subtitles. I loved that though^^, did not know such things were that common in 2003 already.

The end itself was nah, sudden, as it was said. Continuation or something would have been very nice, because Shirase was awesome at times. Sad story :/

I want a second season too. That older version of BPS and the other characters at the end looks all epic. They have to continue the story!

Woah. Surprised people actually liked this show? I thought it was mediocre at best. Not surprised in the least it didn't get a season 2...

Yeah, it has some good points but overall a really average feel to it. Nothing ever really made the characters feel deep, or that there was any real progress. The guy hating money was also sorta silly, although some people do things for fun they are all highly paid for the most part, or have shares and stuff that they can live off the dividends, rather than being dependents. If they had explained his special psychology in this regard, maybe it would have helped more.

Well, anyhow, this last episode was the best since it specifically addressed fansubbers XD

Well, Shirase and Saki could be saved.
5th problem solved, let's see what the next one will be. Wait....
It was good, although they left things for it to continue, but so far there's nothing. but well, it was entertaining.

this anime aged well except for all the pedo shit without that it would been an 9 but made score lower for me. This reminds me a lot of welcome to the nhk so the vibes of the anime were immaculate. Wish it was longer :(

Misao's looked cute in cheerleading uniform.

At the end, was that Misao and Yoriko behind an elderly Shirase?

Too bad this series was cancelled. It had potential. 7/10

Hm, to me this series was really brought down by all the drama with Shirase's love life and the weird thing with his niece. Them reusing the "uh oh, BPS is a pedo!" joke verbatim like five times probably didn't help. Honestly, I never got particularly attached to any of the characters either. Aside from Shirase, they were all pretty bland.

Still, an interesting little series. I just wish there was more focus on the goofy hacker stuff and also a bit more depth to the characters. Too bad there will never be a real ending.

Good ending, I liked the sudden change in tone. Shame it didn't continue. Was all that "We'll be back!" stuff just rubbing in salt because it got cancelled? If so, 2x FU to the decision makers. That aged-up character shot really got me excited and reminded me of the pleas for support at the end of Elf Princess Rane :(

The show was alright otherwise. Personally, it moved too slow and most of the comedy wasn't amazing. The best parts were the 2 getting caught in compromising situations, even though they got tamer each time. That whole repetition never got old for me.

It is more like a cheap comedy than a programmer related anime.
