this guy i follow watches almost everything and has a pretty good handle on the objective quality of a show, almost always rating in total accordance with that. (there are some exceptions where he'll rate something extra high if it contains certain themes or whatnot but he still heavily rates by quality).

food for thought @BakedBanana. this is where i find out if something's shit or not

Oh sorry man, here's the actual link.
Same lmao. I have practically no taste, so I could probably watch anything and find it a good watch…
That's a good thing man. Enjoy what you want, who cares about ratings.

Oh? He uses notes actually? Cool, I don't really see many people use that even on MAL lmao.

i think it's actually important that there are people who have a grasp on the objective quality of shows (or any type of media for that matter). not all stories or characters are written with the same quality, and not all episodes or tracks are directed with the same quality. i know that a lot of time and care is put into these shows, so the intention isn't to mercilessly shit on people's hard work, but a line does have to be drawn somewhere. and i appreciate people like the guy i follow who can convey the general quality of a show with such effectiveness.

Wow! This guy has Lovely★Complex on his on-hold list. Please contact him and tell him it's a waste of time. It's 24 episodes that go nowhere. And I'm saying this as a big-time shoujo enthusiast

True, but I was talking about yogurt, and from what I know, it's his first year into anime. He'll naturally develop his tastes as he watches more anime and will start rating flawlessly without worry. But for now, he's the Kirito of rating.

I watched Lovely Complex back in the day. I thought the couple actually started dating in the show. That's more action than a lot of other shows can claim to have.... :unsure:

I also used to listen to the ED quite a lot back then too.

The manga is better because the story continues and the characters actually develop a relationship (It's a shoujo manga, so I don't think revealing this is a big spoiler)

No, they don't date on the show. It ends as a one sided crush I missed a chunk of this show

To be fair, I don't remember the details all that well, but to say it was a one-sided crush....

Wait, I might have brain damage! I thought this scene only happened in the manga! But it looks like it's from the last episode. So, there's at least a little hope for the show.

Have I watched it on a piracy site without all the episodes? 😅

However, most of the dating part is still in the manga.

The screenshot is from episode 18, so there were still 6 more episodes after that... 😅

They do kiss again on the final episode:

I vaguely remember something about them taking uni exams towards the end of the show.

How do you create a title and upload a chapter?? Asking for a friend.. :3
in the main site, beside "Titles", click the plus sign and then select "New Draft"

make sure the title doesn't violate title upload guidelines

you have to wait for your draft to be approved by a moderator since you don't have any roles, but if it does get approved:

go to your title, and on mobile, click the three dots and click "upload a chapter"

I'm still not completely sold on their dynamic, as I remember it from the manga. The short guy is too much of a tsundere

That's fine. It wasn't like I was trying to convince you to like it. I just remember the show as one where there was actually some progress in the show, unlike so many others....

Also, there was the legendary bear curry ad (ep 8):
