-->"I was watching my favorite anime of all time, ''[[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya The Sadness of Hurai Shoujo]]''. Well, it’s mainly just the first season that I fancy. The second season is just the same episode several times. For some reason, the second installment of anything good seems to suck. Like, when I played ''Franchise/{{Dragon|Age}} [[VideoGame/FireEmblem Emblem]] II'', it was way too underwhelming for my tastes, compared to that first game."
