I suppose they took the entrance exam and passed.

Pretty sure the answer to all these questions / complaints / criticisms is just "it's anime"

how'd an amnesiac get into law school? anime! how can an unhealthy unrealistic unstable relationship not end in flames? anime! why is it treated as an ideal, and not criticized? because fuckin' anime, that's why.

Huh. I've seen quite a few Linda stans.

Also, even though I haven't finished the show, it's pretty fucking obvious from the get go that they were going to be the Main Couple. Linda wasn't even featured in the OP at all. It was just the two of them dancing around.

I have never watched this show, but re: your last question - law school is not exactly a bastion of knowledge and common sense. Quite the opposite in a lot of respects actually. I don't know what you have to do to get into law school in other countries (although I know it's a huge ordeal in Europe), but in America, you take an exam that has NOTHING to do with practicing law, get good grades at university and submit an application. Also, unless it's stated she went to Harvard/Yale/Columbia Law, there are literally dozens and dozens of law schools that basically are checking for a pulse before accepting you. Unless you got into Tier 1, your law degree is worth less than Kleenex these days. Law school itself is full (although not entirely made up of) people looking to get rich quick with the minimum amount of effort and maximum amount of bullshitting. The professors are often just there to get their credentials bolstered while knowing nothing about actually teaching their subject. It was a shocking realization (way too late) that law schools, in America at least, are nothing but cash cows for their parent schools and have little to nothing to do with putting educated lawyers into the world.

TL;DR: I have many stories to disabuse you of the notion that law students are "smart" or "functionally literate".

I've got nothing on the rest, but from what I've seen the degree value is a real issue. I remember a lot of my sister's colleagues graduating without a single job offer, although I'm not sure if her school is Tier 1 (is that the top ten?). She was offered one before she graduated, but she had to wait a few months to start and couldn't even take a job in the meantime since she was too overeducated.

That was a few years ago now, but I doubt it's gotten better.

[replicantangel]

Tier 1 is the top 50 schools (usually as ranked by the US News & World Report). Even those that graduate from Tier 1 are having lots of problems getting employment though. I tell people now that unless they go to one of the top *ten* schools, they shouldn't bother.

Degree value is only the issue because of the overabundance in lawyers. When times were good, the economy could support a lot of lawyers - the money was there, whether or not the work was really needed. But the recession exposed that the legal market was a bubble, and it most definitely and painfully burst. Adding to the problem is that the law schools KNOW this and HAVE KNOWN this for years and years - before there was a recession - and continue to push law school as the way to a large paycheck. Law school enrollment and law school openings are at an all-time high. They continue pushing the lie as long as it makes the school money. It's aggravating at best for those of us who have been through that circus.

You call Koko a creepshow, but make no mention of what a giant asshole Banri was?

Finally someone has said it. I hated the couple from the beginning and thought it was all for the sake of not being lonely.
