I think that reviewer is WAAAAAAAAAY overreacting. The "forcibly kissed" scenes aren't really that. The first time Haru does it, it's in the same breathe that he's confessing to her and let's admit it, he's clearly clumsy in the whole social aspect. He plainly doesn't know this shouldn't be done and that it's not appreciated. But it charms Shizu (who DOES end up liking it), and the manga makes it clear several times that while she is charmed by his anecdotes it's not always fully appreciated and it returns again to him just not knowing it shouldn't be done.

One of my favorite scenes are when Shizu asks for space. She is sitting studying on the stairs while Shizu is below on the floor eating chips. While she is studying she hangs her hand down and he looks up and just gets the weird idea to lick her hand. She jumps up and screams at him and he's like "WHAT? WHAT?!!"

On top of it all, she's not very good socially, either. I think his sudden kisses just surprise the hell out of her and it's not like she's ever tried to push him away during these kisses.

Actually, I have more problems with Shizu's (the girl's) behaviors than Haru's. She keeps leading him on and then suddenly says "NO! MY GRADES ARE FAILING! I CAN'T BE IN LOVE AT ALL!" Which confuses the fuck out of an already seriously confused Haru. o_O; A normal guy wouldn't know how to treat her, let alone one who's extremely socially inept. I find her behavior more deplorable than his. She only calls out to him whenever she feels that she's in the right place to do so.

Been watching Mushi-shi again. This is like, the third time or something.

Good times.

I might also start watching Hidamari Sketch soon too, since I've been loving the manga so much.

I liked the manga in my manga phase.

...dark times.

But it's really well done, and I can imagine the anime was too.

Watched To Love Darkness (Censors...we met again...but this time i'm not surprised) and Jojo Bizarre Adventure which was a very good first episode.
I like the Art Style and the bits of manga ish feel during some stuff...very nice, i'm really hoping they do all of the parts in the series

You should finish it sometime, i'm surprised they got the rights to use Roundabout by Yes for the ending theme...If they do the other parts i wonder what songs they could use..MMM Part 3 with Ice Ice baby 8D.
Also Watched Magi episode 1...ehh i don't like how jumbled and rushed it was...but i still really enjoyed it (used the expressions from the manga very well~)

Started watching Chuunibyou. It's kind of silly/adorable/painful nostalgia.

Hoping he busts out the coat again at some point.

I was going to add Little Busters to my potential watch list for this weekend, (searching and finding all this anime as we speak) when, as I'm looking up information about the anime I learn that it was a Key game.......

I have removed it and instead now intend to play the Visual Novel. OMG O_O TO PLAY A KEY GAME WITHOUT ALREADY KNOWING THE DELICIOUS STORYLINE?!! :O

Whenever I hear that title, I just think of the Pillows song.

Just watched ep 1 of Robotics;Notes. Doesn't look like Steins;Gate level yet, probably won't be, but we can at least hold hope.
