K, tell me what the hell is going on with this. Why is it so low rated? I'm about to cancel my pre-order.

No fucking idea. Is that Blu-ray disc of the anime? (it was jap and was too impatient to translate it. The show is really awesome and I am following it strictly, which is something I don't really do, which implies that this show is that much awesome.

Probably this is just a mediocre show with nothing to uncensor perhaps ::)

Well, there certainly isn't much to uncensor, but that's because this is as straight as a romantic comedy as you can get, and a charming one at that.

I ran the first two 1-star comments through Google translate, and given that both mention 'Korean' somewhere down the line, I think it's related to this incident: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2013-05-05/henneko-author/anime-foreign-product-placement-to-be-removed/2

Basically, a poster of a K-Pop singer was added in the background in one of the episodes by the outsourcing studios. Since Japanese otaku aren't exactly appreciative of Korean stuff in their anime (understatement of the year), they downrate the BDs and cancel their pre-orders, further discouraging others to order it. The poster will be removed in the BD version, but the damage may have already been done. They also seem to be bothered by the pacing (the first episode was rapid-fire jokes all around, and the later episodes slowed down a bit).

It's similar to the Korean dish controversy in Sakurasou (also by J.,C. Staff). Though it's not the sole reason for the show not selling all that well, it must have had an effect nonetheless. Plus, it might discourage Japanese otaku from buying J.C. Staff-related anime ever again, fearing more Korean stuff will be added in (even though the studio itself didn't put it in).

This shows the problem with outsourcing, if Korean studios want to do some product placement of their own. However, keeping everything in-house means costs will go up, in which case the animation would clearly suffer. A case of 'pick your poison', I guess.

Edit: I did read in the ANN forum that the show is still doing fairly well (between 6 and 8k) in the pre-order ranking, despite this minor incident. I hope it stays that way, because this is another show that deserves to sell.

Now I really want a yuri incest ending, although it'll never happen.

What a shame.

They can go and list one of their past works given permission, or they may not even need permission for it (who knows). Some dumbasses they are. I'll keep my pre-order. I wanna see what I get in that BD box.

That's an extra episode. The TV version has a different ending.

That has almost facistic features. For myself dun care what others give for ratings. If I like something I could care less what the masses say.

I enjoy the story completely, have ordered the manga that should be due in a week and ordered one of the cutest figures ever seen. That is due in September from Kotobukiya.

With apple.
And cherries.

More screen shots? Hmmm ... besides FIGMA, I only purchased some other two figures from different manufactures since Sena was never released in FIGMA.

the page at koto europe has 7 different pics.  I was looking for something else as I stmbled over the announcement. took me 5 minutes to decide and place an order. I think it has the facial features and pose strikingly similar to Tsukiko. Haven't seen that in a while.

Unless you're about to get ripped off, I don't see why you would have to cancel your pre-order because of some bad Amazon reviews.

So hard to pick, Tsukiko with and without expression, so hard to choose.

And this show is definitely 99% moe and 1% supernatural stone cats.
