• With the look of things I suppose it's unlikely we'd get a season 3 for Yofukashi no Uta (Call of the Night). I don't dislike this - if I remembered correctly, the original manga after this contains a story arc filled with action scene not unlike fighting in a shounen work. I personally don't really like that kind of stuff and the whole Kiku arc might be a bit too long to fit in one season. I suppose this would be a good point to end it.

• I do wish Drama Queen get an anime adoption someday. It would become a cult classic if it did.

• Finished Infinite Stratos season 1. There do be a valid reason for it to rank that low on MAL. One should obviously take the fact that it's out in 2011 into consideration - the lucky pervert part may have been normal in 2011, but by today's standard it's still way too forced and unnecessary - you can't even treat it like you'd treat the extra moldy part of a piece of Roquefort cheese. I have no doubt that Engage Kiss would've been revered as one of the best harem anime - maybe even one of the "deeper" ones (not to say that these kind of fast food level shows ever have any deepness within them) - had it been released 10 years earlier. Since when did the bastard male protagonist come into the scene? Oregairu? Anyway, people nowadays have the pioneers of those to thank.

  It's unlikely things would improve much in season 2 but I will still watch it...
