The scenes, albeit familiar enough to be cliche, were warming and heart felt. Just when a scene is about to shoot towards familiarity, it would shift to unpredictable and hilarious. I could say its memorable (up till now I still remembered their “moments” hehe)

I have ended the series and by the middle of it, there are actually enough character development to be able to understand the nature of the important characters and they were unique (Yahiro’s lying nature, Megumi’s voice, Jun’s other persona, Akira & Tadashi’s story, Kei and Hikari). Their true nature was something I was taken aback with and have not expected coming at all, since for the entire time I was convinced “they will stick to that” and so forth.

Hikari’s naivety and thickheadedness was so overused that it became a standard trademark for an outside conflict of the story, something I never get sick of witnessing and never fails to give me laughs. XD It really is her personality.
I could actually feel their interaction with each other, their fights and Kei’s dilemma and frustration of not being able to do anything about her thickheadedness.

Overall, I immensely enjoyed watching Special A. I’m mourning to see it end so prematurely. Although it did not fit in several criteria for best anime, it had made an impact in the hearts of many (me for one).

While Special A may fail in someone’s professional standards in anime flexibility and such matters, it certainly succeeded in letting the audience feel what it wanted to portray in clear detail, something which I expected to see in romantic shoujo like Ouran but haven’t.

Then it all fell apart in episode 2. :( I really wanted to like this show too… too bad shiny wasn’t enough for me.
