THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Oh, look who showed up:



Some nice narration by her of some of the past events. The finale also had a new OP song that I found okay. Overall, a strange episode. I didn't see Medaka-chan at all. Oh well, I think from this there might be a season 3 in the future. 6/10.

Just checked out a few seconds of the raw version. Anshin'in with that fourth wall.


Now I've watched it subbed. Its like a epilogue to Good Loser Kumagawa. And it's interesting enough and shows off how bat shit insane and awesome Kumagawa is. I'm fully convinced of Kumagawa's voice now.

I will rage unspeakable amounts of rage if Medaka Box Minus doesn't happen.

That was nothing short of glorious.
So many tongues in so many cheeks, splintering right through the temporomandibular joints.
The likes of Magritte even got a quick philosophical nod——Nisio really outdid himself this time with his demented little take on the fallacious nature of image as it colors reality, and the limits of our perceptions thereof.

And the colors.
Oh, the colors.

I'm so happy for him, our little Minus.

what the fuck did i just watch.

it was a good episode and all but it creeped me right the fum out.
good loser kumigawa is evil if orochimaru had to fight this guy he would be helpless.

all fiction is the best ability other than The End that i have ever seen even if it is used for the wrong purposes he could get rid of anything he wanted to and if hes so obsessed with panties he could just make it where embarrassment never existed and girl wouldn't have a problem showing them off.

over all a good episode and a good series hopes it gets a third season if they do its probably gonna be called minus or something.

I could watch this all day long. Gainax better make a spin-off series for Kumagawa cause it is gold. It does spoil quite a bit, but does it so entertainingly that it doesn't matter anymore.

lol Kumagawa one of the greatest loser and troll ever
from the way Ajimu talks i think their will be no season 3 though *sad face*

and also Kumagawa turned all the anime world of MedakaBox into Black and White so that maybe implying that the story will continue in the Manga World where everything is Black and White only *shrugs*

Just deal with it, people, there won't be any more episodes of Medaka Box. Go read manga, it's much better.

As a manga reader, I have to say this episode is very clever and full of trolling style like arc 3 and arc 4 which is my favorite arcs so far. So this is how they handle Ajimu trolled about the end of the manga.

Definitely love this anime version of Good Loser Kumagawa. That was a totally new OP too!

An anime episode with Kumagawa, oh boy, the only thing that I could ask for better than this would be the Minus arc animated.

Well, for the episode itself, it was pretty okay, I liked Ajimu, though I would have probably picked a different VA, she gave off that kind of vibe. Still, the one who actually voiced her did a good job. Loved that shark girl too. 3/5.

As for the season, I believe I'm the only person in this world who liked the first season more, that felt more varied. This second season was...fight, backstory, victory for the good guys, a very formulaic fighting show, though it did show that it's Nisio Isins work quality-wise. Not FMA(B) level, but way above your Bleach etc. 6/10.

Speaking of being alone with an opinion, I'm also that one guy who can't stand Kumagawa. Why? Well not because of who he is, but because ever since the first episode aired, no matter where I was or what kind of discussion was going in, one thing was sure. Everything would be soon derailed into something like "Kumagawa is the best character ever written, everything else about Medaka is shit" (exaggerated, but you get my point). I don't think I know any other fictional character with such a huge fan base. He singlehandedly ruined the franchise for me. Just wanted to get it off my chest, no offense to those who like him, or to him.

I thought they were going to animate the actual Good Loser Kumagawa chapter, but this was good too. Really hoping they animate the minus arc because that's where Medaka Box gets really good.

Well , the last episode was a bit strange . Also, i I didn`t see Medaka in this ep.

When , i watched the 11 episode , i thought there will be a big fight between Medaka and Kumagawa.

And also , there was a strange girl at the begining of the last episode ( maybe , i am the idiot , but i didn`t know that character !!! )

oh boy indeed total hi-jack & don't adjust just you saw cause it's now the Kumagawa show yea it's all screwed-up so much.

give more it's story introduce on focus Kumagawa with Ajimu sorta hi-jack the show so we get know of screw-job aka Kumagawa & fang teeth of saki.

so let see paint person want take-out Kumagawa cause he "screwed" a female that paint person want payback seem hmm till good-bye all the colors means paint guy is SCREWED.

so that all by look it's so open the door for s3 unless Gainax being Gainax.

Damn this was the best episode of Medaka Box and rather than a third season of a very average Medaka I'd love to see more of this clever and inventive stuff. Ah well won't happen but Kumagawa is the most interesting character that I've seen out of this series, but the color guy was pretty cool too.

Well one episode doesn't change how I see this season. It's a definite improvement on the tripe of last season, but it still struggles to be an average series. The tongue in cheek approach the show generally tries is never as clever or as interesting as it should be and on occasion it dips into sincerity, which is when the show is at it's worst. The characters should always stick to their over the top parody thing, because the drama is just teeth grindingly bad. One great episode after 12 of perfect mediocrity gets Medaka Box Abnormal a 5/10. I couldn't care less if a season three happens unless they replace Medaka with Kumagawa and the show can always be this mix of strange, clever and interesting.

So the anime decided to raise the flag that'd normally come after Kumagawa before we're even done with him? I'm surprisingly kind of okay with that, a character with, so to say, all skills and abnormalities (and minuses) in existence is kind of inevitable, and makes for a great enemy for Medaka herself. Couldn't Kumagawa remove Ashinin's ablitities using [All Fiction] though? I guess it's more complicated than that.
The way this episode was handled was very interesting. The colors, the music, the atmosphere. Notice how we didn't have idling characters in the school besides the comedic relief girls who pointed out the changes in color? The entire episode felt like it was playing out in some sort of alternate reality, and in some way, I'm pretty sure that was intended. To add to the whole experience, or rather to make it more intriguing by removing from it.

So, manga readers, you're saying that this is more of an epilogue to Good Loser Kumagawa? A battle with someone who can control oxygen sounds pretty exciting.
I'm gonna have to start reading the manga soon.

The best way to explain it is that this episode is a continuation of the manga version of Good Loser Kumagawa. The manga version depicts how Kumagawa entered the school and fought the current student council president (The girl who controls oxygen)

I fell asleep watching this...

Slippery character with hateful voice...
Hope Medaka is done with him very quickly on season 3...
I don't expect justice. I expect revenge, even if it solves nothing in the end.
I don't expect redemption. I expect decadence and self destruction.
I don't expect compassion. I expect selfishness.
I don't expect people making choices. I expect a cruel fate forced upon them.
