| Disagree about the Goth Loli girls. Their dialogue sucks, but they add some comic relief in serious situations. Oh, and I think you meant Balls of Fury. [Though I imagine that scene was a spoof on Prince of Tennis.] |

I believe that you meant to say "Balls of Fury."
EDIT: Whoops, GATSU beat me to it.
Anyway, I'm still awaiting my copy of vol 2 (ship my copy already, TRSI!!). I was afraid that this series would get old rather quickly (as was stated in the review of vol 1), but this review has quelled my fears. I can't wait to get my laughs on.

This anime does look promising. I was disappointed in the manga, but that was because I felt it dragged and the gags just repeated endlessly. With a limit of one season, maybe the anime will be able to tighten things up a bit, and make it work better.
Waiting for a set and hopefully decent reviews throughout the series. |

The Balls of Fire/Fury thing has been corrected. And you're right, it probably was actually a spoof on Prince of Tennis, but this coming out in the U.S. only a few months after the aforementioned movie makes the comparison a little hard to ignore. |

Key: Don't feel embarrassed. It wasn't a heavily-watched film, so no one blames you for being off.  |

Noi's love interest is named Takenaga, not Takeyama, a typographical error on your part. Overall, it's a great review.  I'd give it a B too. Since I'm reading the Wallflower manga, the order of events in the anime kind of throws me off, just a bit. |
