Essentially, there is no story and we all know that. So without any further ado. Actually – one moment. Mitsuba and Shino look a bit alike. I think they both have their qualities too (Mitsuba’s hair and Shino’s face). It was good to see that Shino actually had some conviction to perform well for once and not mess up by inappropriately touching her opponent.
Glorious victory!
A Quick Summary of no Story
We start off with the student council figuring out new events to introduce into the Sports Festival because the school is now co-ed. Of course, Shino and Aria produce ridiculous ideas that are unfit – I don’t even know. Another scene, Suzu goes to Tsuda’s house to pick up because he was late for the last tidy cloths day. His sister walks up and asks him if he’s a pedophile and of course, Suzu freaks out at her. A member of the morals committee visits the student council due to concerns with them sleeping in the same room on their vacation. He member that visits the room though is afraid of guys, so Tsuda scares her away. A button is loose on Tsuda’s pants, and Suzu offers to mend it, and of course, Aria misinterprets the situation and tells Shino strange things. Finally, the president offers to be a stand in when Mitsuba losses a member in her Judo team – and the president wins!
404 – No Story Found
Talking about overdoing it - you just did.
Is there a purpose for these rules? I’ve found that the rules describe exactly what the student council and Shino and Aria specifically do not adhere to. Although, bonus points for the Mitsuba cameo.
Priceless.
What? Are you, Taka-nii? The Suzu jokes normally stick to her height and it did this time too, but she actually looks like a child too. So that’s why it was more severe.
Tsuda is happy now - he can have more children like Suzu
The mini-anime embedded in this episode was about a guy who ran into a girl turning the corner. He saw her panties and then she beat him up. Later, a teacher introduces the guy into the class. Eventually, he confesses to her and then they get married and have a kid – there Japan’s population problem solved. Of course, Suzu was too short for this camera shot. It’s getting a bit overused.
'No bugs larger than 1cm!'
A fly got into the student council room. Shino was terrofied and Aria was useless. Suzu said she couldn’t deal with bugs larger than 1cm (another height joke). Shino thought she could open the window and let it fly out, but another one flew in. Tsuda walked in and slapped it. They were all glossy eyed after that, but Tsuda realized he hasn’t been praised before that and he’s been useless since.
No comment.
Finally
There isn’t much need for reflection. Suzu jokes are, I admit, getting old now. The president and Mitsuba scenery was good though.
This show came out of nowhere. I never heard about it until I saw it listed a few days ago. That said, I thought it was pretty good.
So I can’t remember either of the girl’s names. I thought, well, maybe I should go back and rewatch it a bit? No, I thought to myself, because that would be too much work when all I get from google is: Anime Network’s info page. Come on, list the character’s names please. Moving along.
Try hard enough? Oh, really? I'll try hard enough ... now.
A Short Summary
This show has too many lewd topics to be put into words, so, I’m not really going to summarize much.
Basically, Girl A and Girl B really like each other because they’ve been hanging out a lot. Girl A has a power to levitate things, and Girl B likes to study Girl A’s powers. So then they fall in love. And xxxxxxxxxxxxfffffffffffffxfxfxfxxooxoxo and so forth.
After making love a few times, Girl A forgets her cell phone by Girl B’s bed. So Girl A goes to get her phone and opens the lock of Girl B’s apartment. She walks in and discovers that Girl B, her love, is of course, being naughty with Girl B’s brother! Oh no.
Finally
Yeah, I skimped. I’ve never seen a Yuri anime before, but I must say, I like it. I’m glad there is blatant fan service like there is for High School of the Dead. The girls are cute, they have good voices. Of course, when they introduced the brother and then put the scene where Girl A breaks into her friends house for her cell phone instead of waiting for the next morning to get it, I totally saw it coming miles away. I wonder how the girls can reconcile with the tiny problem discovered at the end. I’m not talking about the incest! No, I’m talking about Girl A’s shoes – that she left behind. Ah, well, time will only tell. I hope they release one each week from here on until it’s just done, but if it’s an OVA it’ll take months. That’d be too bad.
The animation isn’t spectacular. If this is a short, one – or few time thing, well, I’d expect some more vibrancy. But maybe that’s just how this copy was when I saw it. I don’t know.
So this is an excellent anime so far. I don’t know how long it’ll be because nobody knows yet?
Okay, I admit it. Instead of writing a real post, I’m going to rant as a post. I don’t do it often, but there’s a first for everything.
That's how I felt watching You-kun!
Seriously, Usui x Misaki was going excellently and instead of going straight for the cake, we have to sidetrack to this You-kun guy to get there. Assuming, we do, in fact, get there. Okay fine.
Wimpy Summary
Not summarizing failure.
Sekia high school, some guy whose name I don’t know, nor care about right now. That’s right, he eats a lot and jumps from the top of the school building when the wind blows a bread crust away to catch it in his mouth. He’s crazy. He’s also obsessed with Misa, but not in the way the three idiots are. They’re cool about it, and Usui’s better. Moving along, Misaki realizes eventually that he is from her childhood when she was telling him to be careful while in a tree. He was reaching for some cherries but of course fell because he was chubby. And so, she was in the hospital with him, as a kid mind you, and giving him cake telling him to follow her from now on. Of course, this was probably inspired due to the cake. Sure.
Why are the guys so happy with him?
Incidentally, he was in a tree once more at the end of the episode. He was being disruptive so Misaki as the president had to stop him. He wouldn’t come down some she threatened him by possibly taking his food away. Fearful, he looses his balance. And equally fearful that a student is falling from a tree, Misaki shouts his old name, You-kun and he does a back flip, lands on her feet and jumps to hug her. The end.
Finally
Having a lame character like this guy, well, that’s just how anime are written, right? Usui obviously needed a rival in love and nobody else was delivering. Yukimura’s friend was noticing of course that Usui never proclaimed Misaki as his girlfriend, so now that he is too late due the appearance of a rival, what will happen?
Maybe there is more too him than what they’ve revealed. I hope so, maybe he’ll grow on me, I don’t know. I’m much more interested in Usui’s back story.
Comparing with Haruka’s arc, Kaoru’s arc felt different. It was laid back, it was casual, it was probably meant to happen. It wasn’t as if Junichi went out of his way to get Kaoru (until later), but that’s the idea. This episode was touching, to say the least. It was as awkward as Haruka’s confession at the end of her arc.
What were going to do with those in the first place?
A Quick Summary
A few days later, after searching Kaoru despairingly, Junichi’s friend and also Keiko make a plan to get hum to see Kaoru in the nurse’s office while she is in her work uniform. Of course, walking into the office expecting to get a bandage and walkout, Junichi was stunned. Of course, Kaoru didn’t make anything of it. Later in the day, they meet on the roof and Junichi asks if she has plans for Christmas. She says, Yes! and he is immediately depressed. But of course, Kaoru is joking, she has made plans for their date, together. Miya pokes fun at him later in the day for not doing anything with anyone on Christmas.
During the date, Junichi reminisces back to two years ago because Kaoru is a bit late. She takes him to the Port Tower. They walk on the port boardwalk for a while talking about the past and how they used to do this when they were younger and in middle school. Finally, it’s getting close to sunset and she takes Junichi up. He announces that he is afraid of heights, but to help him get over it, she takes his hands and holds them over a glass floor. It starts to snow and they confess to each other.
Finally, because Kaoru missed her bus and Junichi is too cheap to get her a taxi, he offers her to stay over at his house. She agrees and they get there. Junichi instructs Kaoru to take her shoes with her into his room when she gets there. She had never been in his room before and was exploring. She notices the Star Room that Junichi built for his alone time. Miya suddenly knocks on the door asking why he’s home – and also admitting she knows what’s going on – but really doesn’t. Kaoru ducked into the Star Room to hide, but eventually she gets sleepy and wants to sleep together with Junichi on his bed. So they do, and it’s awkward for him. She surprises him while pretending to be asleep wrestling with him until she’s on top. She starts to kiss him but falls asleep sitting on top of him.
The next school day, we see the two interacting closely. And that’s the end!
No Lighthouse Necessary – Land Ho!
Nothing from early on, there was just nothing going on and worth while.
'Spend time with meeeee! Niiii-niiiii~~'
So Miya is up to her tricks again. She says this like she wants her Nii-nii to stay home with her and attend her party. Or perhaps she is in fact having a party because there is no way to afford anything else. It isn’t realistic to say though that everything is double in price; it’s just another day.
Looking good, Haruka, but your Arc's looking for.
Haruka is looking excellent in her Santa outfit. Hibiki though is the voice of reason for Haruka. Otherwise, she would have gone with the Santa bikini.
Perfect.
This was an amazing scene. The lead up, the low intensity confessions of Junichi and Kaoru were aligned perfectly for a kiss on the peak of the Port Tower with snow framing it. The idea of, “Looking at snow fall from above. That’s pretty different, don’t you think?” That’s original and clever. She couldn’t have planned it better. I’ll remember that scene forever, certainly.
'You were -pretending, Nii-nii, to have a girl in your room because you're lonely. I'll be in my room if you want me...'
Miya came into Junichi’s room abruptly. I don’t know what she was talking about, maybe having Christmas with his friend from class as a cover. I don’t know. Anyway, she’s clever. She thought she heard talking from Junichi’s room, so she said she knew what was going on and he shouldn’t bother to hide it. Well, she didn’t really know. I do wonder though how she would’ve reacted to it though if she had seen Kaoru sitting there on the bed with him.
'I haven't used this in weeks... I used to hide in here... uh...'
Junichi’s star room, his home away from home, his place to be alone created after his first stand up two years ago still survives. Kaoru obviously has caused him to stop using it because he’s felt good about himself. It’s better than when he was starting with Haruka, because after the initial rejection, he crying.
Kaoru's Ultimate Attack: Sitting Kiss!
I didn’t have a good one for this picture. It was interesting how she faked her sleeping so that she could wrestle him around a bit. She managed to get on top, well, she’s the fighter after all. But she didn’t make much of a move. That’s good I think, otherwise it would’ve damaged the legitimacy of what they were feeling if they took it too far too fast.
And you know? It ended there. The was no ten year flash forward. I wanted one. In Haruka’s arc, it made sense to show that they were still kinky after ten years. It’s too bad, but it was different.
Finally
That’s the end of an excellent arc! The next arc is the red-head, Sae. I like how she looks, innocent, laid back, shy and so on. The problem is her voice. I cannot stand it! I seriously can’t! But we’ll see how it turns out.
Warning: this episode was filler and absolutely devoid of any material. Actually, it wasn’t there some excellent moments in there, those being the cameos of Saten, Uiharu, Misaka and Shirai and of course the ending.
Do not tease others who are not well endowed.
A Quick Summary
This episode goes like this: boss the tells the bank members that they have a job – to find a bride for a 12 year old kid whose family tradition is to be married on their twelfth birthday. Ryoko, Ringo and Ryoshi go out with the kid and his butler to find the wife of his dreams, basically inspecting every single female member we have seen in the show thus far. They even poke some fun at Ringo and Ryoko.
Near the end of the episode, things turn around. The butler notices that the boy’s childhood girl friend has been following him around all day. He tells his young charge that there is one type of wife that money and power cannot buy: the childhood friend! And of course, she runs up to him and confesses her love to him just like that, ending the search.
Ookami wants to eat the filler
This has happened a lot recently. I remember blogging about it too. That said, this one actually led somewhere that gave out bonus fan service.
Ringo's fantasy - Ookami and the 3 pigs
This time the joke fell on the three pigs. They were fat guys basically, all with serious issues ranging from playing twister to using messed up sentences. In the end, it was shown that Ringo made the movie because she has some seriously messed up fantasies.
stare.
When the big busted lady came out, they were shocked at how caviler the butler was with her. She protested but quickly dropped out of the game when the realization of gravity literally brought her down.
I agree, she looks very wife-like, for some reason.
I don’t know why, but I agree with Shirai-narrator. She looks like she could be a housewife, easily. Maybe it’s the hair?
It was odd that the butler had the cast go around like a bunch of crazies and then suddenly pulled the boy’s childhood friend out of a hat. It was amazing how quickly the problem resolved itself. Maybe it was to show the boy that there is more to love than buy it? I don’t know. But this is filler, so there is no surprise that it can be messed up.
And now, the best part. Uiharu - Couldn't capture the others.
I don’t know if the same company that make Railgun makes Ookami-san, but if they do, they need to make this joke a bit more often. They did it with Lucky Star, so why not here? I also saw Taiga I think, but I don’t know for sure.
Finally
I got bored writing this halfway through. Really, inexcusably bored. So I’m not going to say anything else. There’s no reason to comment on filler.
Note: This covers both episodes because I simply wanted to relax on the first. Also, since I’m not capping the actual plot, the caps work regardless.
A Quick Summary
Juuzawa Juu is a delinquent who has to fight pretty often in order to just be left alone. At some point in high school, he meets Ochibana Ame, a girl who says she knew him as a King in a previous life and that she is his servant and knight to protect him. She wishes to be with him. It is later hinted as to why she thinks this rather odd story is true.
The first episode centers around the mystery of a phantom killer – he believes he is a government secret agent sent to kill the invasive alien race from another dimensions that hides as humans. Juu finds one of his classmates dead and the story begins from there, essentially – the race to figure out who killed her. From there, he meets the killer in a park and fights him. He momentarily wins, however the killer gets back up after being knocked out. Ame is present and saves him with a hard blow with a brick to the lunatic’s head. Later, it is revealed that the insane guy is the brother of a girl in Juu’s school, who is also pretty psychotic. She attempts to kill him but after begging and screaming for help, Ame comes to his rescue.
The second episode deals with Juu again, where he is a victim of a growing trend of nasty demoralizing pranks. He is riding the train and is suddenly accused of molesting a girl. Ame’s sister, Hikaru comes to his rescue and poses as his girlfriend, but makes she he keeps quiet about she did to help him. However, the news gets out and rumors spread out his school. Hikaru’s crush will not accept her because he has seen the rumor himself. This presses Juu to investigate with Ame and things lead to the discovery of a student council president and vice president using a website to collect happiness for themselves by destroying that of others.
Glimpses of a pas life
From what I’ve read, this is a light novel and the anime is short – it’s an OVA of three episodes two of which are out right now. That said, I think this series certainly has plenty of merit if expanded. Also, an aside, Ame’s very much like Tachibana-san from Angel Beats, incredibly calm and slow talking in a very mysterious kind of way.
Long bangs - no eyes.
Ame is an interesting character. She is sweet – she talks calmly and slowly. She’s methodical in her own reason, well, at least she understands what she is going on about. Her belief is that she and Juu are connected by their past lives. She’s slightly crazy too, she’s devoted to him. However, might I add, she’s totally creepy? Until I saw the hidden side of her, well, behind her hair.
Creepy hair + blood = extra creepy
Ame is so creepy when she can analyze the scenes of the crime. I can’t describe it any better.
Maid outfits negate creepy! Amazing.
Even though I proclaimed Ame the creepiest character ever, she’s actually fairly cute. When her hair isn’t in her face she’s great. When she’s in a maid outfit, she’s even better. It’s interesting though, as to why they did this. She wasn’t working in the first episode and to get her friends to help her, she needed to work half time? That’s not very nice. Anyway, look at that – completely innocent.
Swinging at sunset is what all apparitions do...
When she’s swinging with Juu, she look like an apparition. You know – you look to the other side of the street with the playground and see the swing moving all by itself and it’s not windy. You look the other way for traffic and you see her when you look back. And then you’re nervous and look away again, and you don’t see her. It’s like that. Creepy.
Finally
For an unscheduled viewing, I’d say Denpa Teki na Kanojo was great because it had a story and fairly interesting characters. It got everything done in two sets of 40 minutes too – that’s amazing because Angel Beats couldn’t do it in 390 minutes. I thought at first it would be a bit like Higurashi – all crazy and bloody but that quickly went away. Then I thought it might be like Chaos;Head which was mind bending crazy and this wasn’t that either. It was more like NHK – kinda. I look forward to the next OVA.
Last week, I ran with an One Pic Post about HotD. This week, things actually happened and while there was a truck load of lame fanservice, there was also a moment of “Oh yeah, this is actually awesome! Zombies!”
That's all that happened.
A Quick Summary
At the hideout, it’s time for some action. Hirano and Takashi saw a little girl, Alice, with her father attempt to get into a house. They were outright rejected, her father was killed. Soon, the zombies started to advance toward her but Hirano started headshot sniping them easily. Takashi gets on his bike and propels himself through the hoards and eventually meets up with the girl, saving her. Of course, he is now surrounded by them because he used his gun alerting them to his location. Hirano notices as the group prepares to rescue him with the Hum-V that is walking along the fence. Alice had to pee. Finally, Takashi and Alice jump to safey on the Hum-V where all the girls are hardly dressed to be outside and they drive off into the night.
Oh My Zombies
'Daddy! The zombies didn't bite you yet! You can't die!'
Alice’s father is looking pretty pale there. I don’t know if the cast really needed another member, but I guess they’ll take whatever they can get. When they took the initiative to save her anyway, Takashi and Hirano surprisingly declared their humanity and Rei commented about that too. Takashi ignored Saeko totally though, but in her outfit, how could anyone take her seriously?
Maybe this show has some decency after all
Aside from the fanservice in this episode, Rei managed to look unaccustomedly cute for just a moment so maybe there is hope after all.
'Was that a pot hole I just ran over?'
Seriously. This was the best scene so far in this show. Flying zombies are excellent to watch, better than flying fish, monkeys, or anything else that flies. It was too bad that the Hum-V had so little screen time though because it was absolutely excellent.
Finally
All that this episode did was affirm that these characters were still human enough to want to save a little girl with pink hair from 1000 blood drinking zombies. That’s all it did but it did it well.
Out of all the anime I’m watching this season, this anime has by far the most characters. And they just added another one! When will it end?
