Does the second half really make it a bad show overall?

Yes.

If you combine it with the bad first half then yes, definitely.

no it's gr8

But it had an original concept

It's a bad show anon, just watch something better instead of being a bad show apologist

>>148194789
Yes, especially in a series build around mystery

I really enjoyed couple of first episodes, but the ending was so rushed and so stupid that overall I'd call it a bad show.

Japanese are masters of wasted potential. Interesting concepts, poor execution.

Ending was terrible
But other than that I think it was alright, at least the SoL parts and abuse story. It wasn't a good mystery.

The ending really did fuck this show immensely. And I'm not even talking about the NTR. That was stupid too, but how the MC half-assedly beat the villain was truly what just wrecked what could have been a memorable story.

It's a decent show, great OP, /a/ hates it because he doesn't marry the childhood friend. But pizza girl is clearly superior in every way and they meet again during last scene, so fuck what /a/ thinks.

Its honestly surprising how hard they fuck up good things. Its like the talented people stay for the first 10 minutes of the staff meeting and then leave.

You guys are so picky it's a wonder you find anything to watch besides your little girl fast food of the season.

If you watch anime at all you're not really picky.

Most anime series are mediocre pumped out to satisfy otakus who will gulp up everything that has cute girls or boobies in it

Nope, the whole show was bad, the second part only make the plebs open their eyes.

A funny story about when I first watched this, I actually ended up accidentally watching episode 11 (The ep with the NTR) instead of episode 1 first, and got halfway through before realizing I made a mistake, so I basically kinda knew the NTR was coming the whole time, and thus it didn't really phase me that badly.

I was still however blindsided by that god awful resolution with the MC falling off the roof, the antagonist's homolust, and all that shit, and so that DID piss me off.

>>148194789
Yes

the bully was the best girl; should have went that route.

Why do people keep saying the whole second half of the show was bad? I only really had a problem with the last 2 episodes. Is the halfway point when reddit started liking it or something? Because that would explain why some people are drawing the cutoff there.

Second half was rushed, thats for sure.

At least we saw adult Misato, so it was worth.
