Imagine a 13 year old boy in 2011, who just started to watch anime.
I was fascinated by the anime. I watched it multiple times and somehow just loved this whole setting.
A few years later, i realized how bad the anime really was, but still couldn´t hate it, because it was so nostalgic.
I then read on a forum, that the manga was much better than the anime, but still wasn´t into reading it, because I don´t like Harem that much.

Now, 9 years after watching the anime for the first time, I finally got myself to reading it.
And wow.
I am flashed.
I don´t like how the anime starts (like the start of season 1 and the ending of season 1), because it is very much just ecchi and harem and well... I´m not really into that.

But the middle (Chapter 9-35) of season 1 was really really good.

I was like, Tsukune, finally not being a dumb weakling who is only out there for boobs?
That´s just nice. And he feels like a real Shounen-protagonist.

After the weak start, the story really begins. And it´s insane. I nearly cried a few times and I just love what happens.
Badass-Tsukune is just such a insane cool character.
Also in this season, every main character gets development and it just feels so right.

If you know the anime, you would think of this as just a funny comedy anime with a lot of ecchi, but the writer made such an insane story out of this and uses the setting for a perfect conflict.

I can´t even describe how i am feeling right now, knowing how the series ended.
I love it. My heart was beating so fast, when all those things happened.

I can´t understand how they could make such an anime out of this masterpiece of a manga.
