Reactions Around the Web
I don't really recall, but was Legendz really that depressing?
I can't believe "Bokurano" isn't on here...
Minami-ke (Okawari) got me depressed for various reasons...
Now I know which anime to stay away from! Thanks 17 otaku!
If you've never watched it, it might seem like they only put School Days for shock value, but... it really made me depressed...
