Summary:
A young boy called Eita enters high school aiming for the National University School of Medicine. Because of his parents' divorce and his goal, he shuns anything to do with romance or love. One day Masuzu, the school beauty with the silver hair, who's just returned to the country, enters his life in a most unexpected way. Chiwa, his childhood friend since elementary school, will not let this go without a fight.
Most other sites seem to be content with just calling it OreShura, and the studio seems to be okay with that too, so can´t we just please shorten it to that? Anyway,on to the actual review. There were parts to this that were genuinely funny, but then there were also parts of it, that either sort of fell flat, or were just outright boring. In general I think this show would have worked better with the initial love triangle, instead of making it a harem, but the last two characters introduced have their perks too.

In general I think this show would have worked better with the initial love triangle, instead of making it a harem, but the last two characters introduced have their perks too. Often at times I also found myself really confused and/or suprised at the bizarre reactions the characters had to some situations. I don´t know, maybe it´s a cultural thing, and I´m griping over nothing. I also was kind of infuriated at times at the main character Eita, and how he handled some situations, but at the same time I can kind of understand it, considering his background. And he did soften up gradually towards the end of the series. This whole fantasy about him being Burning Fighting Fighter!(most awesome and ridiculous name at the same time by the way, the writing team must have had a really fun time when they were writing those parts of the script) was also a great source of humour, so it wasn´t that the show wasnt funny, I´m just conflicted because I think the show could have been even funnier, and that frustrates me. Oh, and the ending is bullshit. Didn´t resolve anything in the slightest. The special is a behind the scenes look at the studio who made the show, and some background about how the project came to be, along with some interviews with the voice actors. It´s kind of funny, because the voice actors seem to understand both the characters and the show better than the writing team. I guess that is why I thought it was so jarring at times. Oh well, it wasn´t awful, so if you´re curious, take a look and decide for yourself :)
