    I was a bit disappointed in this show. I was expecting something better SHAFT. I absolutely love Dance in the Vampire Bund and Bakemonogatari, but i dont love this. Its ok but just that. Perhaps its because its doesn’t have any of the complex dialog i loved in the other 2 series.

    I didn’t find this one funny at all.. the male lead was ridiculously unbelievable even compared to the crazies he met under the bridge, and the humor seemed to be based mostly on crude over-reactions and far-fetched premises that might have been better-played for interest and not for laughs.

    I guess it sorta felt half-baked to me, like your typical Shaft/Shinbo show. Like it should have an “under construction” sign in one corner. I’ve always felt that Shinbo manages to suck the life out of everything he adapts, and I’ll probably end up giving this one a pass because I’m getting sick of watching “the Shinbo show” over and over.

    This is clearly Shinbo’s most mature work yet. All the experiments that marked (or marred, if you prefer) earlier Shinbo/Shaft productions, have provided the foundation for the exciting comedic delivery evident here. For example, instead of flashing a wall of text on the screen, text is used judiciously to add visual texture, and reinforce the humor.

    People looking for a good comedy show, with romance elements should really check this one out.

    Knowing the Shaftiness, I was expecting something interesting and I got it. Of course, I can’t exactly compare it to Bakemonogatari but there were elements like the male Seiyuu. I lurve Kamiya Hiroshi. For me Bakemonogatari was epic win while Vampire Bund epic fail, this one comes in between looking at the first episode but I’m expecting good things from this series and would watch on.
