[What Akia's gonna do...]
I plan to watch this show AFTER I finish the first season. If I like that season enough, I'll review season one and then watch season two as a whole before reviewing it as well. I don't have the time to review all the shows I watch by the episode, but I will most likely do mini-reviews like this. There's also the possibility that I-studios will want to do an Ogenki review :D

I plan to watch the first 5 episodes to see if I like the anime. If at this point I do, I'll probably start full episode blogs. I'll definitely do my mini-reviews for the first 5! The summary doesn't scream "Akia watch meeeee" for some reason.

I'm currently watching the first season to prepare for this one. I'm shocked that I never watched the first season before so I'm pretty sure I'll want to watch this one ASAP. I'll do mini-reviews and probably episode reviews, but in sets of 2 or 3. Also might do an Ogenki review if people want to do it with me.
