ελπίδα, πίστη, αγάπη

Special A is a story that primarily focuses on Hikari Hanazono and her attempt to beat her childhood rival, Kei Takishima.

It all started when Hikari was six years old. Her dad taught her how to fight, and she thought that she was undefeatable. But when she challenged Kei to a fight, he beat her and practically humiliated her. Since then, she swore that she would beat him no matter what.

She enrolled in the Private Hakusen Academy with him. It's an elite, rich school that separates classes by grades. The top students in each class is in the A class, and the top seven students in the A class are in the Special A [SA] class. Hikari, Kei, and their five other friends have been in SA since they were younger, although Kei is always ranked 1 and Hikari is always ranked 2. [Source]

No one recommended Special A to me. I just found it in ADC-Anime while searching for servers where I can watch Fate/Stay Night. Oh! I wasn't able to post a blog entry for Fate/Stay Night. My bad. Anyways, it was an interesting Anime. I like Fate/Stay Night and I'm glad I haven't totally forgotten this Anime, which Francis or Jano recommended a year and a half ago.

 

Special A is an Anime packed with comedy, challenges, and a little romance. I didn't watch this Anime because of the latter. I got intrigued by the plot. Besides, there were only twenty four episodes. I prefer to watch Anime with few episodes.

I love watching this Anime. It's so entertaining. There were sad moments but they don't have much gravity. I miss watching this Anime. I'm actually planning to read its manga. Just can't get enough.

Hanazono Hikari, the main character, is very inspiring. She is an admirable and cheerful person, a friend you'd love to have. Her determination to beat Takishima Kei is superb. But Hikari is thickheaded and oblivious when it comes to romance, which reminded me of someone I know very well. Myself.

Takishima Kei is the ever rank 1 student of Hakusenkan (or Private Hakusen Academy) and also the rival of Hanazono Hikari, the ever rank 2. He always calls Hikari as Miss Rank Two as a tease. What I like most about him is his acknowledgement of Hikari's obtuseness.
