This was another “was reading the manga but watched the anime instead” title.
The manga was solid with plenty of laughs. The anime took that to a whole new level, beyond the realm of silliness.
I loved it.
To start off, Ikuto, the MC, passes with flying colors. He acts more like a shounen fighting MC than a harem comedy MC. It works out nicely. He’s not hesitant when he needs to act, he’s driven by the credo that nothing is impossible, and he’s not always thinking of perverted thoughts. It’s so refreshing. When I “rate” male MCs, I generally go from “I hate this fucker” to “he’s ok” but Ikuto may be one of the rare few that I’d rate as “I actually like him.”
He allows me to not hate this anime while it’s the girls that really drive this show. They all have their cliches combined with exaggerated silliness. Every one of them goes from “normal” to incredibly silly in a heartbeat and it busts me up every time. I can’t call these girls “unique” but there is something about them that separates them from the norm.
It’s funny, as I watch, I’ll think “she’s hilarious, she’s probably my fave character” then an episode or two later “oh, that one’s now my fave” then later in that episode “oh, she’s definitely my new fave” and rinse repeat. I swear, they keep doing something funnier than the last one and top each other constantly. I can’t help it, they all provide quality entertainment.
I had mixed feelings when starting the manga since I assumed it was another harem comedy. It’s quite different from what I expected and definitely not a rehash of the same ol’. The (non-existent) story is its biggest downfall but if I watch this show like a sitcom, it turns out just fine.
I don’t feel like going way into this since I’m lazy but I’m sure I’ll talk about more specific things, like the hilarity of each girl, as I blog new episodes.
