Its light but alright. I too don't find them particularily "interesting" but the jokes sometimes hit. but
Was anyone else initally surprised that Akari wasn't scared of the scary stories... and equally pleased with the apparent answer as to why she wasn't?

Okay, episode 11 was funny (as always), but did anyone watch the preview for the next episode? It has something very...I don't know what to call it, except unexpected.

This final episode probably the most entertaining episode out of the entire series, and that's saying a lot! And it's not just because Chitose was snogging almost every girl in the room (except the tsundere couple who seem to took their time getting the futons...hehehe). Akari's butt monkey status has finally rolled up to its climax which then ended up being a blast!
Now with the series over and its apparently positive reception from the otaku (I heard the upcoming issue of Yuri Hime, the magazine this was serialized in, was sold out), I'm keeping my eyes open on what some of the anime production companies will do next. Are we're going to see a shift towards "moe-flavored" yuri? I have notice Yuru Yuri seems to act as a vehicle for fan shipping; I wonder this is the "yuri" the otaku wants. Though I would much prefer for them to start accepting in-canon couples.

I think the final episode did a good job. They have been playing with the Akarin thing at the begining, which has been the one thing that proved she was the main character, and she had it stolen in the last episode by a side character who has appeared a couple of times. Their whole Akari dissapearing thing has been a bit hit and miss, but when it has been done well it has been good.
Probably my favorite gag in the series has been jokes about Chinatsu looking inocent, but actually being a bit evil. Episode 11 was good with Chinatsu in the past actually picking on Kyouko, amd Chinatsu unkowingly calling herself a brat. And the last episode was also good that Chinatsu acted like she did not want to cosplay, but still looked evil in that she was sure she would win.
Chitose's nose bleed gag did often get old, but I did enjoy it's use in the last episode where she could sense the situations from a distance. Also looks like Chitose filled the last episode with a load of yuri, the reason was a bit scetchy, but it was obviously just to appease fans who wondered where the yuri was. I also can not help but laugh at Akari's face with the tears, actually makes me feel a little sad. And the Tomato thing was exactly the type of randomness that made Kyouko funny.
My one big complaint is that we never got to see Akari's sister, she was one of the first jokes in the series, and we never saw her. I almost wish for another season just so we can see Akari's sister, but that is a bit of a dirty reason, I think another season would need totaly new gags.

That's it! I'm gonna gag dub this thing. The show was much funnier than I anticipated and stayed surprisingly strong throughout...but...so...much...potential. Every time someone opened their mouth I read both their lines and heard the ideas rolling through my head.
I think I now know how Stephen Foster felt when he was given the directorial duties on Ghost Stories (and everything else given to him...).
