Reviews
ZeBlah
Can be interesting/surprising/original/funny/weird/warm, but you have to be a bit patient => I ended up liking it starting from episode ~4; before, in my case, it was a bit a mixed bag.
I'll probably watch it again in the future.
Each time I start thinking that I've seen every possible type of story, the japanese are still able to surprise me.
You've reached the end.
