The demographic for this is so oddly specific. You either love it because you watched it during your weeb awakening in middle school , OR you ARE a middle schooler who is in their weeb awakening. The CHOKEHOLD this anime has had on the shoujo loving community for years now, is absolutely wild.

I remember watching this on repeat for three years of my life (12-15 y/o), but stashed it away so I could enjoy other new series. Now, watching it as an adult... girl.. it HURTS sometimes. It really does. The specific era this came out of; that mid-2000's internet where you watched the ... pirated episodes in parts on youtube or kissanime. This anime captures the humor and character tropes of the time, which does in fact include the homophobia/transphobia/ and.. yes, the N*zi jokes. I promise that if anything this anime is not boring, you will never know what you should be concerned about next.

Even with all of it's cringe inducing scenes, and my personal crisis of "I really let this form my teenage humor and personality", it has it's place and I think it should atleast be given a shot. Even if in the end you just don't get it, there are gonna be some that do.

I will forever have a physical reaction whenever I hear the anime opening.
