Can someone tell me which chapter episode 12 is in the manga? I wished they would've animated the kiss at the end a in french-style, long, long, tongue on tongue kiss.
Well, it was a good ride though, had a lot of feels in these series even though it was quite rushed as a lot of people said, even though I haven't read the manga.

Then again, can someone please tell me which chapter i should begin to read after ep 12?

7/10, debatably a 6/10. This series did almost everything right - voice talent, tone, art, music - but they didn't have the space to properly adapt the story, which is what hurts it the most. Little time for proper character development and the rushing through plot points hindered this from being a great series, not to mention skipping some of my favorite moments in this arc.



Agreed. Where it was good, which is in those aspects mentioned earlier and with a few episodes that were handled well, it was very good, so it gets points for that.

I'm so tired of everyone bitching about the STUDIO. They were given 12 episodes. They had to deal with that episode count. For that, the studio handled it AMAZINGLY well.

Yes, it was rushed. It was extremely rushed. But I'm sure you can't do much better with that source material and amount of episodes.

It was obvious Witch chapter had to be reached for the ending - chapter 90, the end of the first story line. It's literally the best point to end an anime adaption of any ongoing manga I have ever seen, because everything is given very decent closure. Some less informed manga readers thought the manga was going to end there. (The author had stated a long time before chapter 90 that Yamada-kun was only in the prologue though. So chapters 1-90 were basically the prologue.)

For what it was and could have been, it was a well done adaption.

7/10

Lol i see much hate going on in here about how it's being rushed and all. Honestly i think it's a decent adaptation, considering the amount of budget that they have which is only enough to make it a one cour, they decided to rush it instead of leaving things hanging partway. Well i DO agree that they did skipped tons of good scenes from the manga, but they managed to get the bare minimum needed to push the story forward, the art and animation is consistent and fluidity is good, and the VAs are all being stellar with their job, shiraishi was especially shinning in glitters compared to how she was in the manga (o praise the good lord hayami saori). Can't complain more, really.

9/10 for me, enjoyable ride even though i am a manga reader. Can't blame the studio for getting shitty amount of budget for this golden piece of raw material. Now only if it'll ever get a second season, please, i beg for you guys to get enough monnies to go for a 2 cour.

You know it would have been possible to make a version of Lord of The Rings that was 150 minutes long. After all there is enough strong writing and memorable events to make up for the lack of character development, or the obviously hurried pace. And it's not as though you really need Gimli or Legolas or Saruman, or most of the other supporting characters. You could just focus the story on Gandalf and Frodo and Sauron, with perhaps some comic turns by Gollum (I don't think Sam plays that important part after all....)

That's what would have happened if Linden Films was in charge of Lord of the Rings...

So how to rate this little bit of exploitation (exploitation because they mined a wonderful story to produce a reasonably good anime which is almost but not quite an abridged version of the original)? I'll give it a 7/10 for it's strengths, but I'd ask you to seriously consider what it could have been. What score would it deserve if Leona had actually been given proper character development prior to the revelation that the sole reason she has shut herself away from the world for the past year has been to preserve the memory of her love for the president in her heart? What would the reaction be to Nene's sacrificing the love she could have had with Yamada by cutting a deal with the president to instead work to restore all the witches memories, even knowing that Yamada would probably choose Shiraishi, if we could see her love develop and deepen over time? How much stronger would this have been if we'd been able to understand each of the witches' pain, and how Yamada rescued them? This is an adaptation, it has to be judged in part as to whether it measures up to the original. Otherwise a studio could push cut-outs and finger puppets for the final three episodes and we would forgive them because the budget wasn't there....(Kare Kano anyone?)

The ending was a little bit rushed, and i understand that they skipped a lot of parts, most of all the IMPORTANT parts from the manga as my self not a manga reader. I'm happy that Yamada ended up with Shiraishi but i feel bad for Nene, i think it'd be better if it ends up with harem ending or just take everything slowly and see more developments between the characters, rushed rushed and rushed that was a bit unfortunate. This anime has a great potential but LIDENFILMS screwed it up. THANKS


Overall score 8/10,

i'm not a manga reader but after i saw a lot of you guys complaining about the shitty adaptation, i might read the manga.

So i just want to know if the Manga Worth reading? is the missing part from the adaptation will make any difference if i read the manga ? Thanks before

And who the heck is the blonde guy from another school that appeard on 3rd episode ? i checked the character list his name is Shinigawa Daichi, i mean he is so irrelevant why did they even bother making him appear on screen like that without any purposes ? i think there will be a 2nd season.

A pretty nice wrap up of the series, quite liked the overall concept and the execution together with the character and story development! Especially up to the end with the confession it sure was lovely. So all in all this sure was an enjoyable anime I must say!
