Gakuen Alice — Episodes 13-15
These three episodes of Gakuen Alice are a miniarc, and actually reveal a lot of information about the Alice Academy as well as what exactly the deal was with Natsume and the Dangerous Alice class, at least to some extent. The fact that Alice Academy has a secret organization and all that isn’t too far-fetched, since it’s fairly standard stuff for this kind of anime, unfortunately. And of course, every organization with a secret organization must have a super evil bunch of guys who have turned against them and are now fighting for “good”! And naturally one of the members of the super evil organization must have some kind of tie to someone in the current organization! And the main female lead, as usual, is “special”.
Yeah, basically I feel like this show is pretty cliched, when you come right down to it. It’s enjoyable enough to watch, and Mikan is still really cute (it is pretty awesome to have a main female character who speaks in Kansai-ben), and Natsume is still pretty cool (even though he spent the majority of these episodes either in the hospital or tied up). Still, I can’t get over the fact that there’s just… not much substance there.
At least Narumi-sensei has stopped creeping me out. Well, he creeps me out less. In fact, in these episodes, he was actually pretty cool. And Hotaru is still one of the most nifty characters in the show.

The story is undoubtedly cliched; Mikan is terminally cute; and Gakuen Alice is totally a guilty pleasure.
(Or so I think anyway ^^)
At first, I also found the Kodocha similarity too distracting but esp. after ep 15 (ep 16 is just too totally WAFFy ^^), GA kinda gained its own voice (and not just Mikan’s Kansai-ben *groans at the bad punning*)
