The begining was perfect and the ending as well, but the middlepart was mediocre. And it did introduce a new/forgoten genre to anime which is allways a welcome
(refering to your comment on Talenteless nana being mediocre)
I'll be honest, I haven't watched a shoujo for years but back when I had a kinder heart and a more innocent spirit I did finish a few.
Vampire Knight, Nana, ItaKiss, Lovely Complex, Skip Beat and Ouran High School Club.
Of these, I did enjoy ItaKiss and Nana, I honestly don't know why I liked ItaKiss but as I remember it was mostly a comedy and I thought it was pretty funny and the romance wasn't too bad once it got going. Nana had many unenjoyable shoujo elements but it's got good characters and character development and I thought it was alright though I started to lose patience by the end. Lovely Complex I tried to like but it was just too sad, tall girl lead made me sad, It felt as sad as if it was my unrequited love story. The others I have no idea how I finished... It was before I knew what shoujo was and I kept expecting things to develop differently than they did.
I've watched a few shojo and dropped plenty of them, I get it, they're not for me but all the shoujo I've watched are anime soap operas or alternatively the characters are so innocent and air-headed that it's unbearable. Skip beat was my first shoujo, I had no idea what I was getting myself into... I never paid any attention to shoujo until I made the connection between it and an anime being unwatchable. I don't mind Josei - just as an aside. Anyway, I just can't help but prejudice against anyone who likes shoujo, the inability to interpret this preference positively leads to these feelings. Maybe it's my loss, you know? Maybe orcaloligirl would have become my best friend but there are some things I'm unable to change and I just have to accept the consequences.
