Manatsu no Merry Christmas

I'll preface this by saying that this rating is unfair and overrated – normally I'd give two stars for something like this, but since it stars my beloved Takenouchi, I'm bumping it up a notch just for the fact that HE's in it. :-D The beginning of the series was on the worse side of 2 stars, with a good moment here and there, but otherwise you basically don't get much. It's an average, at times below average series from the "slice of life" genre. Unless you've got someone you really like here, and unless you've seen some Japanese works, there's not much point in watching it. You'll go away hungry. As you can see, I wised up and gave it those two. :-D 6 November is a good date for that. (2012.08.21)
