Only the first episode of Yoake Mae Yori Ruriiro Na Crescent Love has any kind of quality; the later plot-important episodes are a little worse, but the filler is legendarily terrible. Its absolute nadir was in the third episode, when a cabbage was made perfectly sphericalâ—Š, like a bowling ball. The ballcabbage became emblematic of the series, to the point where, when they cleaned it up for the DVD release, fans are divided on whether it was an improvement or not.
