Yea I know was talking about the picture

why is this show so popular? the characters are bland

You stop typing with your dirty fingers.

Same reason Naruto is popular i would guess.

i'm bracing for more disappointment for Season 2, chances are i'll end up watching the other series airing that season more unless there's really nothing else.

or its gonna be 1st half good 2nd half bad again

Miyuki Sawashiro is voicing Shino


That is the only reason you need to watch this.

Even the first half was kinda meh but it was a lot better then Fairy Shit.
Think what hurt me the most on the first half was the time skip/Flashforward part, really messed up the pacing for me and made me confused a bit since it happened without warning really from what i remember ( but at least it had Sachi ).

Though since S2 won't be about Assuna shit i feel slightly better about it.

Same thoughts here. That was the weakest thing I have seen in a while... Plot-wise of course.
