Nodame-chan:
^ Yeah. If you don't like it just don't watch it, and don't whine it's a bad one here.

If you're not willing to discuss it why even bother posting?
Not every anime is going to be great. But I sat through it, thought meh, and gave my thoughts. Sorry they don't align perfectly with yours?

They mustn't. Just really, you bring forward weak points. Like ok, there is a huge boob art, what's wrong with that? There's a lot of shounen, what's wrong with that either??? I'm just glad to see more shounen. And about large cast. So what? They all have a meaning to be out there. Of course nobody permits you to not like it, but if YOU didn't like it, it doesn't make anime any bad.

I bring them up because I think they detract from the plot. You're free to like character art that features the watermelon as the basic unit for breast size, but it comes off as lazy to me, and they're as incredibly unsubtle about exploiting it as much as possible. They're not slyly inserting that content in, it just eats up a large chunk of the run time.
Which again, is an issue because they've got such a huge backdrop to begin with. If you're going to set up the mythology, you probably don't need to pad out the entire 13 episodes with gigantic boobs while STILL having to drop exposition bombs in order to get the plot across. I don't think it's unreasonable to have some priorities with story development.
The large cast again has the same issue. A lot of them aren't important, yet still eat up more screen time that could go to the characters that are actually getting things done. That's kinda silly. A lot of these characters are literally one trick wonders. They'll get used for one major plot device and then sink back into the rest of the class. That's seriously what a lot of them did in the first season. Some of them didn't even get that. There's a reason why most anime set in a particular classroom don't actually flesh out every single member of the class; it leaves you with less time to develop the characters that actually matter.
abc cuz:
I'm not sure why you have so much beef about emphasis on boobs in the anime, if you look at any slightly remotely ecchi anime, or even non-ecchi anime (like the constant jokes about mio's breast-size in k-on) boobs are a common reference and if you don't like that then you're going to be forever annoyed with anime.
that beside the point, i agree with you that the large cast does detract from character development on the important characters here, but not enough to make it a bad anime, there is still plenty of development, its just condensed into smaller scenes while all the other characters add zing and other viewpoints/aspects to the series which makes it constantly interesting.
