Comedy Yuri.

First episode had a bunch of clich11's but it was entertaining.

Overall a very satisfying show. I'd probably rank a 7.5 or 8 out of 10, if given to a simple number system. I didn't think the second season finale was as good as the first season, but I suspect that's because they devoted more time to fan-service episodes than to building up the plot than they should have. There were a couple minor plot holes that could've filled, and some characters that I would've like to have seen used from the first season (one in particular would've been interesting to see at work in the final ep).

If you haven't seen it already, do so now. Loli humor and references aside, I doubt you'll be disappointed.

Show was decent, but it fell away a bit during the second half imo. I saw mention that the reason for that, as well as for the fanservice you mentioned Strac, was that they followed the manga up until the first 'finale' but then deviated substantially from it afterwards. With only four or five real 'plot' episodes in that final 13, it was a disappointment. Particularly after the first 'finale' had been so good.

It's a decent show, and worth the time if you have it. But nothing mindblowingly great for me.

That would explain a lot, actually. I rarely have been one to follow manga, but then I suspect your source is /a/ :p

Indeed. There was much complaining.

Saten was apparently written all but out of the manga after the first finale. The only assumption I can make is that they didn't want the main 'foursome' tinkering with, as part of the reason that they diverged. But that doesn't explain the great extent to which they seem to have done so.

An OVA for this recently got released, and was a pretty good standalone. Nice to be pleasantly reminded of this series, which was highly entertaining despite a lesser second half to the season.

Doubt it'll be much longer before there is a Season 2.
