		<description>As much as I enjoyed your sarcasm, I have to say H2O was a bit better than that ... although I understand while you don't think so.

Realism isn't what H2O is going after - or at least, I hope it's not. H2O takes Believability out into a dark alley and unloads two full clips of Plot Twists right into its face, which is why a lot of people (like you) dislike it. (I can also trust this is why you loved True Tears so much, which I can sympathize with more)

H2O works for me as more of a dramatic vehicle (similar to Myself; Yourself or maybe sola, if you've seen those), something that might not have the best life lessons or the most coherent story, but something that works as a roller coaster. I think, like a poorly scripted girl in a eroge, I enjoy being mindraped.

Those with more sanity or less enjoyment of the visual-novel genre may not like H2O as much, but I think it deserves at least a mention as something different. (see: Hirose's insanity, episode eight, plot twists in the last three episodes) 

Then again, there's the whole "Hey, it's a trainwreck, let's go see it" mentality, so maybe your sarcasm will work in my favor. XD (Although, the first four episodes did suck, truthfully)

(My comments always feel so long... ah well.)</description>

		<description>yeah, more fun to read and of course it's a lot easier to write too.

and yes, he did recover his True Sight or whatever, but the kicker is I almost want to tell people to watch the show just to see how mind-bogglingly ridiculous the final episode is. Dropped my jaw.</description>

		<description>This review reminds me of why it is sometimes worth it to watch bad series.  I love going to reviews of crappy anime and laughing at the nicknames and shoddy plot twists.  

I assume he recovered his True Sight, but I still can't believe that was the premise of the show.</description>
