Romantic subplot, is a term you some may be familiar with. The manga, to me appear to have the sports themes as the sub plot. It seemed like the mangaka was trying to write a romance story line and a sport story line at the same time. As a reader I felt that the "gears" in my reading were going up and down as the story transferred between the romance aspect to the sports aspect of the story line. At one moment you are focused on the main character improving himself and then having another romantic interlude.
If i go in depth I would almost ... say this a series of romantic one-shots cobbled together through a story about badminton. In some cases in the beginning is seemed almost too much romance and toward the end almost too much sports.
One thing I will never understand is the random appearance of the main character's sister in one page of the manga yet through out the story she is never once mentioned before or after that page. In context it is served as a fan service nothing more. It also feels like the last volume was rushed, even the last chapter, however it was a decent enough ending, quite surprising too considering.

If you look at the Synopsis or have even got into to it a little bit and think this is kinda creepy. Well you are absolutely correct HOWEVER I implore you to keep reading it. If not for the Korose-san then for Tomo-chan. It's funny how you watch her develop and the many times she gets flustered. The side chracters are pretty funny as well and you are constantly thinking wtf are you doing man! so it really isn't dull.

Surprisingly the only down side, and reason I did not give it a perfect score was the for the ending's un-originality. If you even have ... read a Shoujo or Josei Manga where there is a younger girl and a way older guy you can pretty much guess the outcome.

To be honest the recommendation of Lock On is a but obtuse. Indeed there is camera and school life however the feelings of the two are completely different. Not to mention that Lock On was cancelled before it got going.

The story is pretty well done for being only 20 chapters and you feel for the main male character right from the get go as it seamlessly pulls you in. If you have the time you should definitly knock this one out \(^_^)/

It's really hard to describe this by comparing it to another manga I have read simply because it more like a combination of ... a munch of different elements.
Childhood Friend that live next door to each other. The guy has confession issues. He can see the future through his camera and he is not attached to his love. Add in the older guy and a semi traumatic past and a semi selfish girl and you get a story.

It may be pretentious to give this manga a 10 out of 10..

At first you think well Otaku and a sudden daughter appearance would make for a wacky fun time! It's much more than that. I wanted to read this manga mostly because I was looking for something like Bunny Drop. It has a bit more of a Love Hina feel to it though. The ending was also not what I expected from this type of story line either it's actually a pretty harsh realization for the main character Kouta. So no more semi spoilers.

The story is pretty innocent as a normal everyday girl is ... brought into the world of Otaku. He makes some mistakes as all of these sort of stories do. It doesn't really become too serious until Kaunu's friend blurts out a secret that wasn't meant to be said.

Also I mentioned Bunny Drop before so if anyone has read that story before be prepared to have it retold in the relationship of 2 side characters. - Mind Explosion

To sum this up in a phase we all know.. "WTF" Sunrise. Yeah I get it Zeta was kinda of dark but it's better than the first one and Gundam is a story about War and violence it's suppose to be a little dark...

To Compare Zeta with ZZ:
Zeta is a frowny face
ZZ is a cheesy smile

If you like being slapped in the face in the end this is the Anime for you!

If you watch Zeta then went directly into ZZ be prepared. The first like 20 some episodes we completely like a happy fun time show, it kind of reminded me of galaxy ... express a few times for it's weird little stops that made no logical sense in the Gundam U.C. The next like 15 episodes were a little better as it move more in the direction of normal gundam u.c. It really kind of picks up after they get a new ship but it is still like WTF.... They tried to implement romance in the story line as well however it is kind of like wow really at the end... And you know how they don't show the epilogue well in this one they do but epilogue is like ok why is he doing that?

Definitely a low point for Sunrise

The Story plot line, well I can say that the idea of it is more common with action type manga but instead of fighting the main character gets stronger with in the band. The art I though was very good with the characters running. and the faces. the characters are pretty involved and deep however some things were not entirely resolved at the end. My enjoyment of it was mainly decrease by the open ending of the story. as well as certain people close to the main character seemingly disappear from the story line. again though an open ended story for the most part. now ... 19 years later or whatever like harry potter here =P

A different kind of story then most when it comes to love stories.

The story seemed very original to me. Having two people being in love but too afraid to tell each other. I would almost say it definitely a better romance drama, so if you like that sort thing this one is a must. I only saw one real down side to the story and that was the ending. I was a little to cliche for my tastes other than that it was a pretty good story if you have 8 hours to watch it.

Know when you watch something so good it gives you chill down your spine and when it over you fell happy and sad at the same time? For me that was Fate/Stay Night. The ending wasn't really all that cliche as most typical stories of the same genre, it had a sort of brilliance and epic foresight with in the final moments. Fate Stay Night is one of those story where it pull you know and gets you involved in the story. When it's over you just seem to want more and more cause of the attachment you make over the episodes. Fate Stay ... Night is a gem of anime and an anime lover would be a fool to not watch this.

The Story is exceptionally original in my opinion.

The Art was well done.

The sound literally blew me away on how well it matched into the scenes

The Character development was excellent. The development between the 2 character was extremely inspiring like you wanted it to happen to you.

If you are into the cliche mecha anime story then this is your ticket.

I would however advise you that if do watch this to the end be prepared with disappointment.

The Story is over done the Art is decent the sound as well

The Character development is a little screwed up.. The mysterious of the people are predictable the rich guy is annoying in my eyes and the main characters in the series have no defining closure with in their respective relation ships

I would pass on this one. there are way better mecha anime out there

If Law of Ueki is PG then Law of Ueki Pus is more PG-13. There a noticeable more gore factor with in the expanded series. A new set of character friends to help him fight in a new world. Ueki also has none of him godly weapons in this series and simply starts fresh. Also I think there is a more noticeable romance factor with in the story.

Note: pay attention to the 1st chapter the mangaka gives you a clue to the end of the series.
