I thought the first episode of Taiyou to Umi no Kyoushitsu to be interesting, and now I swear I'm just watching it for the music and ending theme @_@. The story is a bit extreme at times... alright, almost ALL the time. We have a Chairman who has a bit of a superior/inferiority complex thing going on, which makes him all-mighty, controlling, and thinking he can play god because it is "good for the students." We have mystery teacher, Sakurai, who appears dumb but says the most philosophical things ever and Wakaba has been grating my nerves.
So far, the first episode was good the first time through and I didn't mind the second episode much at all, but now getting into the third episode, I'm a bit weirded out by how intrusive the school is with their students @_@; The Chairman, who only graduated from middle school, believes that he had a hard life due to his lacking in education so that's why he is trying to make sure all the seniors can get into elite universities to ensure that their futures will be easier than his. Of course... this means lots of obsessive compulsive behavior in monitoring students' records and test schools to see if they're "pulling their weight" or sinking and becoming deadweight. If students' grades aren't look too hot, the he will just change their first choice colleges in order for them to be able to enter one at their level. And not just the Chairman, but most of the school faculty is in on it except for the Principal and Sakurai-sensei who want to put a stop to this.
It's interesting really =_=; and I'm not sure why the story is moving the way it is, but... oh well =_=; I'll keep watching this 'cause I'm interested in what point this story is exactly trying to tell us. It's kind of a peculiar drama, but it has its interesting parts. I like most of the cast so I guess that's why I'm still here =_=; Anyway, need to finish episode three and hope my interest doesn't crash and burn.
