On a mad impulse, he steals it. Now everyone knows 'some pervert' stole Saeki's uniform, and Kasuga is dying with shame and guilt. Furthermore, the weird, creepy, and friendless girl of the class, Nakamura, saw him take the uniform.

A few more stuff that seems to my liking here. But, man, I feel like i'm already one of those old anime-watchers complaining about every seasons every year: I feel like all the plots are a mere obvious rehash of previously done things...

And I didn't even start watching anime that long ago. <_<

haha Ive been a Anime fan since the 80s Down. There will NEVER be an anime that surprises me or comes off as new. But no matter what, I always find a few series each season that Kotomi and I really enjoy. Ill always be a fan of Anime as it has brought my family immense joy.

I guess you just have to keep an open mind and don't go into them with preconceived notions of whats good and whats not. Meh, just my opinion.

Well, I think it's great to have such dedication after being into anime for so long!

Still, it should be possible to find some new stuff once in a while. For some genres I just don't mind, but in others it's kind of tiring seeing something you've already seen when it's not THAT great...

New is a relative term. There are anime that seem like they are just rinse/repeat. Then there are Anime that have just enough difference to make it seem fresh. You just have to keep an open mind and be positive.

Then again, Ive seen some really horrible stuff in my life. real life stuff. SO I guess I just like to escape when I watch Anime. I get a lot of happiness looking at it that way ;)

lol Ryoji and I will probably watch them all. At least 4-5 episodes. Ive noticed a lot of people drop an anime at episode 2-3. Some anime are slow to build so I believe its worth it to give them all a chance.

Moretsu Pirates is a great example. It started off stupid and ended up being a fantastic space adventure with a great story.
