While overall I'd agree that Marimite is certainly the better show, SP is delivering exactly what it has promised: Fairly enjoyable yurilicious fluff seasoned with a bit of drama. Therefore, it's hardly rewarding to compare between the shows, and it's downright silly to whine about SP. Seriously, we knew even before episode 1 what we would get - why cry about it NOW?

Sp takes the MM setting and tilts it more to the extremes, at the expense of realism. Where MM is subtle and classy, SP tends to be blatant and in-your-face. And while I'd pick MM if I had to wish for another season, I certainly don't regret spending time with SP. In fact, overall it came out better than at least I expected.
