Sakurako-san no Ashimoto ni wa Shitai ga Umatteiru is the clear front-runner for best anime of the season, as far as I'm concerned.  It's quirky and interesting, which is why I love Japanese mystery dramas like Trick and Keizoku 2: SPEC.  I really like Sakurako a lot--and she makes me remember why I'm sick of school-girls.

That's possible? :o

Relatively speaking.

Basically, I like women.  Also, school-girls in anime are usually rather thin cliches.  Discovering one with a complex and interesting personality is like finding a protagonist who can't overcome the odds.

More than that, though, it's that Japanese media so often seeks to dwell within the constraints of high-school when there is so much potential for variety outside those borders.
