Incidentally, regarding the episode count, one thing I wanted to throw out there is that next episode appears to be split in two parts (with a different title for each half). So it's possible that when they said "45 episodes", some of those were full-length, and some of those were half-length. If that's the case, it would probably be a two-cour show, which I think would make more sense for a late-night show rather than than the unusual "45" count. Of course, time will tell if even the 45 number is based in fact.

Assuming it keeps following the manga, there really shouldn't be many half-episodes. It adopts an arc format after around chapter 9, and some of the chapters before that two chapter mini-arcs too (and thus would fill an entire episode on their own). So even if that was the case it'd only have maybe 4 less episodes than we'd expect.

Dunno what the response here at Animesuki will be quite yet, but given the scope of the anime project, I'm thinking it's possible we might get big enough to justify a subforum. lol, not to get too far ahead of myself at this stage, though... The wait for subs is pretty harsh. I'll be pretty disappointed if (as things are looking right now) this series doesn't get licensed for simulcast. |

Well seeing as the initial premise of this anime is one of the most hated story ideas out there (I've seen lots of people complain about student councils), and since many people hate the idea of a perfect character (though Medaka should be an exception), and since it's Gainax (read: boobs), I don't expect the feedback for this series to be anything but negative EXCEPT for the people who've read the manga and knows about the major shift that's will eventually come, which it will considering that Unzen is in the bloody OP.
Though I seriously hope that not every negative comment is about the fanservice, seeing as this is pretty much Gainax standard. I mean, didn't Yoko's boobs do something similar throughout TTGL? Oh and Toyosaki's voice isn't THAT bad, though I definitely would have preferred a much deeper authoritative voice, but at least she's tolerable. Oh and Shiranui's voice is perfect. |

Watched the OP... Everything about about felt kind of weak and forgettable (especially the song). Meh. I'll save my true impressions for the episode itself, though.

Hmm... I wonder why fansub groups are overlooking this series? I would have thought an anime produced by Gainax would attract some. I've checked some of their websites and none have announced that they'll work on translating it.

I think it's pretty daring for the producers to go right ahead and schedule so many episodes for a late-night anime before they know how well the show is being received. But this is a popular manga, so it's possible that the 45 is a year, minus the time the show is (maybe?) pre-empted for the Olympics, etc.

I'm also hoping that somebody in the production department went... "WAIT, 24 episodes is not enough to even get to Kumagawa, we need at least 45 episodes guys to do a proper adaptation but still get to the good part." |

Not to mention the "gainaxing" potential of Medaka

i liked the first episode, but the thing that really shined for me was the BGM, the op wasnt that great but was still good, some people seemed to not have liked it much, but the truth is that the manga dint starst strong either, and didnt get as good until the last student council member showed up.

The manga was in danger of getting canceled for quite a while. So I doubt that the initial phase of this anime will be outstanding. I'm not sure about later parts since I was totally bored throughout the first 40 over chapters, or somewhere there, and gave up...

I do remember few late-night animes that have more than 26 episodes (split cour shows excluded) : GTO is a great example for what I'm talking about. However, these kinds of episode counts for late-night shows are more present in the 90s than nowadays.
