Koihime Musou 01 - No men in sight.

Just a bunch of girls and chibis.
Flavor: Sour
Initial reaction: IT’S RAINING WOMEN
Wait, what? I thought this was supposed to be an eroge adaptation? Why the heck is there no male harem lead?! At first it doesn’t really seem like such a big deal, but… seriously, if the male protagonist from the game was so bad and useless that they had to remove him from the show, what can I really expect from the plot of the series and the rest of the characters? Also, the lack of a guy in the main cast totally nullifies any possibility of having romance on this adaptation… which leaves us with, what? Lame fanservice and a story that has been told numerous times before? Why, no thanks! So far, I think there’s only a single series on my anime list that contains an all-female main cast, and it’s probably gonna stay that way for some more time.
Bah, and to think I was actually looking forward to this one.
6 commentsMahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto ~Natsu Sora~ 01 - Stuff goes here.

I guess I should’ve just used “Someday’s Dreamers” as the title instead.
Flavor: Sour
Initial reaction: NICE BACKGROUNDS
I’ll be frank: I didn’t pay that much attention to what happened on the actual episode (although I’m sure I didn’t really miss that much since… I mean, we’re talking about a slice-of-life series here!). After Sora met with her mother, I kinda stopped caring about what the characters were talking about and, well, I probably spent the rest of the episode staring at the pretty backgrounds and scenery.
All I can remember from the whole thing is that Sora somehow managed to perform some kind of magic trick for her friend in order to help her a bit with her love confession, and that in the end she took a plane straight to Tokyo. I also have some foggy memories of seeing a bath scene, but I suppose that’s pretty much it.
Honestly, this doesn’t seem like a bad show… it’s just that I’m not sure if this is really something I could like. However, if I ever end up following this, it will be because I find it interesting… not relaxing or whatever.
Keep blogging? Not sure.
2 commentsSekirei 01 - Fight with the power of FANSERVICE!

Or with the power of kissing. Or boobs. Whatever.
Flavor: Sour
Initial reaction: So, the story is set in year 2020, huh. I never understood why people bother with these dates.
Well, this ended up being the first show I decided to check out from the whole batch of new summer anime series… last season, if I’m not mistaken, it was To Love-Ru. Coincidence? Absolutely, what else could it be?
Anyways, all I knew about this series is that it had boobs… and, yeah, they’re really everywhere. As expected, every single girl in this show, be it Musubi or one of the random villian sisters giving chase after the main female character, has enormous breasts. This, alongside the idiot male protagonist and the numerous ecchi moments, are enough reasons for me to skip this show.
The only thing that managed to catch my attention out of all of this is that it has kissing. However, it seems like they’re simply using the kissing as a “method” for the Ashikabi or whatever they’re called to activate the Sekirei’s full power. So, yeah, since “kissing with no romance = fail” and because of the fact that later on the series Minato is gonna have an entire harem of Sekirei going after him, it’s clear that I won’t be enjoying any of this.
Which means… I’m not gonna bother with this show. Woo.
Keep blogging? Most likely not.
5 commentsMonochrome Factor 01 - P.S. This is BL.

Ohhhhhhhh…
Flavor: Sour
Initial reaction: Is this yaoi?
Huh? Either they went overboard with the BL jokes or this is really yaoi, orz. I mean, I actually watched the first episode of that other show with ninjas, and that one also had a few of these kind of jokes, but in this one they were all over the place and there was even a gay kissing scene. I actually don’t mind yaoi, though… it’s just that everything came out so unexpected because nobody had mentioned anything about this show having that sort of content.
Anyway, aside from that, I don’t think there was anything else that managed to catch my attention. The action scenes were pretty average and the overall episode seemed pretty boring to me. From what I’ve seen so far, I wouldn’t even recommend it to yaoi fangirls, though it’s obvious that there are a lot of them who would actually watch any kind of crappy show as long as it has gay material on it.
Keep blogging? Probably not.
4 commentsKamen no Maid Guy 01 - Whaaaaaa…

Unexpected.
Flavor: Sour
Initial reaction: ….Boobs? Again?!
Woah, that was certainly… weird. All I knew about this series was that it was based off of some comedy manga about a masked GAR maid, yet I never imagined everything would be that… eccentric. So, after all, I did end up laughing more than once, though ultimately the bad animation, the random usage of bizarre BGMs and the horrible fanservice ruined the episode for me. Meh, whatever, I wasn’t even planning on following this show anyways.
Keep blogging? I think not. HOW MANY UNFUNNY FANSERVICE SHOWS DOES A SEASON NEED ANYWAYS
To LOVE-ru 01 - No surprises here.

Sorry, no pantsu shots in this post.
Flavor: Sour
Initial reaction: Fanservice! What else?
Let’s see, um… random boob/butt shots during the OP, lots of girls, several boob shots throughout the episode, a sucky male protagonist with an annoying perverted friend, a bath scene, more boob shots in the ED… yeah, this is one of these shows, no doubt about it. So, will I be following this? Most likely not. Sorry, but I think all these obligatory sex scenes in the eroge/otome games I play are enough porn for me.
Keep blogging: Hell no. Doesn’t have a good story + Doesn’t make me laugh = Epic FAIL
