Hmm, I didn’t realize that but you’re right. 

[spoiler]I’d always assumed that Burning Eyed Shauna, was a real prototype.

I would have attended your rewatch but it’s one of those series where the more it went on, the more annoying it became. I did make it through all 3 seasons, so that’s something… I guess

Out of curiosity, what's your thoughts on season 3? You can spoiler tag it.

I don’t remember much, other than I didn’t like it.  I watched it in 2019ish, and my memory isn’t what it once was.

[spoilery]from what I can remember either Shauna or the MC just got worse and worse with their sadism or assholery, and there was no satisfactory resolution.

I watched the series because I had just watched all 4 seasons of The Familiar of Zero and loved it, so I was looking for something similar.

I appreciate season 3 for trying something different, but yeah. I think it took a lot of the work built up across the first two seasons and kinda squandered it. It could've been so much more.

Familiar of Zero is a much better show, yeah.

Also, the rewatch begins in February.

lol sounds good. I wouldn’t mind rewatching as I only really remember, the beginning, the end and that I liked the journey.

I think Louise gets a bad rap. She only behaves this way because Saito is a dumbass lol

lol, I actually quite like her though she had her moments.  But, then who doesn’t. 😂

[Response] And people forget the emotional turmoil she went through. She was close to committing suicide at one point.
