Rating
The first 8 episodes are rated 13-14 by the current Robloxian television parental guidelines, most likely due to some of the crude humor featured earlier in the anime.
Later on, the anime became more lighthearted, and is rated Under 9 by the current guidelines.
Legacy
The anime series has since become a cult classic and despite the fact that the anime hasn’t received an official third season due to the series not being able to be popular anymore after the second season, fans have created their own season 3 (titled “Monica’s Literary Club Redux”) and have created their own stories.
To this day, many fans of this series have chosen to cosplay as the characters and the series is often considered to be an “legendary” anime series due to its humor, characters and writing.
