Critique:
STARTo
The show is a bit weird. Each episode shows a common life story situation that somehow goes wrong or ends up undesired.
RETRY, CHOICE – B
[The show is good!] Each episode shows various outcomes based on how a person changes their choices each time.
RETRY, CHOICE – B – B
Sometimes, the person gets defeated by their own choice, though.
RETRY, CHOICE – B – B – B
Sometimes, the person is too adamant which turns negative.
RETRY, CHOICE – C
[The show is great!] Despite the predictable choices a person makes in trying to fix his or her situation there are unexpected turns and twists.
RETRY, CHOICE – C – B
Sometimes, an equally important outside problem appears, though.
RETRY, CHOICE – D
[The show is superb!] Some of the turns and twists are even GAME OVERs!
Sometimes, an antagonist is revealed to be a super antagonist, too, connecting stories and time lines.
CHOICE – ALPHA
[The show is fantastic!] Sometimes, it’s not up to the protagonist’s choices at all!
CHOICE – A
Sometimes, the end is a slightly different beginning. Sometimes, the end is a dead end.
CHOICE – E
Sometimes, the least desirable choice is the right one.
CHOICE – Z
Sometimes, it’s a ghost!
The best stories usually feature the best actors, too, which makes them quite enjoyable. Not all stories reach the same level of goodness, though, beware of your own high expectations.
The not so good stories are not bad per se. They all take up half the episode’s time to introduce, hence, their actual play time is less than the better episodes. Therefore, their lesser number of choices, turns and twists is perceived as not so good as they finish in a simpler & faster manner.
Aside from the main story of each episode, there are little connecting side stories involving Edawakare. They are short but very amusing at times. And sometimes the main story’s final ending gets revealed together with life’s wisdom.
Verdict: 8.7
Cast 8
Cast performance 8

Synopsis:
It’s about 2.5 years after MG2. (4 years in the real world)
Iwata Karen & Nakanishi Chiyori are being beaten by some students from another school when a limousine stops by. Kojiharu asks the girls for direction and gets called a hag. She promptly disembarks and beats them up. She tells the MajiJo students not to lose when wearing the emblem. Kojiharu feels a new wind blowing when Sakura walks by.
Team Hinabe discusses food and chats about Rappappa with Scandal. Scandal has recently returned from her 2 year long suspended from school. Team Hinabe tells her Rappappa isn’t unified anymore but individually each member is as strong as ever. They tell her that Salt has no interest at all but is leading Rappappa because she doesn’t want to obey anyone. Scandal is amused about everyone being just flies to Salt.
Meanwhile, Bakamono fails to identify a game card again which causes a round of ridicule by the others. As Otabe doesn’t seem to be any better Bakamono touches on her repeating years issue. Otabe sticks her fingers up Bakamono’s nose :: and tells her “it’s a matter of timing”. Salt suddenly appears from the backroom and hits Bakamono for making a ruckus before going back to rest. Salt suddenly opens her eyes when she felt a disturbance.
Sakura, oblivious to the violence around her, walks up to her class and enters. She’s questioned about her intrusion. Okada Nana is about to punch her for her insolence but stops short seeing Sakura’s eyes. Team Hinabe riducules Nana but Scandal tells them that Sakura’s eyes are like Meada Atsuko’s. She’s someone who holds back at the last because she can overpower anyone.
On the way, Team Hinabe meets a gang from Gekioko Koko who immediately pick a fight with them. The Gekioko students returned beaten and are questioned by the Gekioko upper echelon. Antonio is upset they picked a fight with MajiJo without permission. KY says it’s fine as Antonio would eventually addMajiJo to her collection of defeated school’s signs&flags anyway. As it has come to this Antonio plans to raise an army to overpower MajiJo.
Meanwhile, Sakura is having lunch at the restaurant café Asobina. Minami asks Sakura if she came for the top of MajiJo but Sakura tells her she came for the better view from the mountain. Minami warns her about Rappappa.
At school Sakura asks Team Hinabe about Rappappa’s location which prompts them to laugh it off as a ridiculus idea.
However, Sakura is serious and walks off after getting the information. Everyone immediately quiets down at the realization. Team Hinabe runs after her for being passed over by this transferee but Sakura ignores them.
They pushed her into a room and the fight starts. Sakura is fast and agile but seems to lack experience and gets caught and hit a few times. Sakura quickly dispatches Kusogaki, Jisedai and Kenpou. Dodobusu grabs and pushes Sakura against the wall but is defeat at the same time by a Kenpo move (see Atsuko vs. Gakuran). Uonome’s kick boxing seems to be superior but she is driven against the wall… the shock from the realization of doom is hanging over the room for a few moment. Then it’s over when Sakura stops her last punch.
Uonome runs after Sakura, telling her the order to defeat Rappappa, and tells her she can still run away. Sakura just walks off muttering she won’t run away ever….a flashback showing her (5) year old self being left behind by her father.
