I agree. When I saw it was the highest rated of all time and a bunch of people I know recommended it I expected it to be some kind of masterpiece. It was just okay. I genuinely have no idea why people rate it that highly. I didn’t start watching anime until 2019 so maybe I am just missing the nostalgia factor.

One I never see mentioned anywhere is the ED for Asterisk War. Mediocre show but you get to hear Maaya Sakamoto sing in English.

I started reading it a year ago, around when there were about 80 chapters out. Finished all 80 chapters in like 2 days lol.

Yeah it doesn’t even feel like a finale. To be fair it is just ending 1/3 into the manga so that was never really meant as a stopping point. It’s probably pretty difficult to turn that into an ending while staying true to the source.

Watching it weekly this kinda sucks but I have a feeling in hindsight once the other seasons are out it will be extremely bingable, just like the manga is.

This comment is how I found out season 2 airs in just 8 days. I thought it was coming in winter for some reason. This is like Christmas in July

I do wish it had more romantic progression but at the same time I appreciate the slow burn. Tempted to dive into the manga but I kinda want to hold out for a season 2.
