I've changed my mind about Murai in Love. It had such a formulaic romance climax that I should have known better than to judge it before the end. To be fair, I think that romance stories should avoid using forced drama as their climax, but perhaps that's just me.

Thoughts on final episode:

Murai in Love spoiler

The head teacher has my respect. IMO he deserves better.

By the way, after listening to the opening song Henshin! a few more times, it ended up growing on me.

Anyway, I'm happy enough with the ending, so I'm bumping its score back up to 10 / 10. It also means it would be the first shoujo anime to enter my top favourites (though I noticed a significant number of listings are missing a demographic tag so it may not really be the first). Time will tell if stays up there though; I have revised scores downward after some time has passed when recency bias has less effect on me.

Also completed Barakamon, which is a big step up from Handa-kun IMO. Both are about equally funny (i.e. not funny enough), but Barakamon felt a lot more mature and meaningful.

I like the supporting casts more as well.

This feels like an 8.5, so I'm gonna be generous and round it up to 9 / 10.
