Peach Girl | rejected

Failure!
Here’s what I said on ANN…

I may have been able to tolerate the terrible art in this series if it weren’t so insipid and contrived. Sae is a purely evil character who inspires violence in the most peaceful corners of my shoujo-anime loving mind. From the very first ep, I wanted her dead, horribly, painfully, torturously dead. The rest of the cast while seeming to have some kind of third dimension also end up being cardboard cut-outs of generic teens placed conveniently for the most base situational drama. After the glory of Hachikuro, Marimite, Parakiss and even Kare Kano, Peach Girl is so poorly written, tactless, graceless, and not in the least engaging. This isn’t serious character drama, it’s just stupidly contrived juvenile rubbish. I skimmed through a few of the later eps and nothing seemed to have changed, and felt absolutely no guilt in spoiling the last episode. I’m glad I didn’t force myself to watch any more than a few full episodes.

So there’s 25 eps down the drain, and it was supposed to keep me occupied while waiting for Huchikuro II ep 12, the last two eps of Strawberry Panic! and some more of Aria the Natural… Peach Girl shall never be mentioned against these great names again.
