Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko 01: Titillating Tilts

Posted by Shin

Otherwise known as babby's first normal SHAFT anime. Call me a newfag if you will, but up to this point, all the SHAFT productions that I have watched looked as though the team used Microsoft Office Powerpoint 2007 to "animate" their shows. Thing is, I did not even realise this was SHAFT until 5 minutes and 46 seconds in when that fucking headtilt popped out of nowhere. I have always wondered what SHAFT did with the money they got off selling Bakemonogatari Blurays, so I guess this confirms that they finally invested in a decent piece of animation software. If anything, this show looks absolutely beautiful, and I am not simply piling on the praise like hipsters who considered SHAFT's slideshow efforts to be a work of art; This has actual animation, and that is saying a lot!

Enough of the technicalities. Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko is pretty much standard boy meets girl fare. However, while most other shows make this first encounter a special affair, the boy here meets the girl wrapped up in a futon, which anyone would mistakenly pass off as a corpse. One would also consider this a form of child abuse, since the girl is under the care of a dangerously attractive MILF resembling that one character from Toradora! who decided to settle down and start a family. Turns out boy and girl are actually cousins, or so the plot goes.

The plot also dictates this is to be comedy and because being male lead is suffering, the funnies are mostly at his expense as he has to put up with the all the girl's eccentricities. The girl claims to be an alien, and if this is anything like that SHAFT show about homeless people living under a bridge, I am inclined towards calling her a bluff. Well, branding her a liar would be harsh, since I believe, much like the show I mentioned in the previous sentence, she believes that she is an alien. Delusions resulting from years of abuse in a household she ran away, from no doubt. Not that any of that matters of course, since this girl, who goes by the name of Erio, is a walking pillar of sex wrapped up in a mattress. Unraveled, there is something about that unkempt appearance and half-shut, near orgasmic eyelids that gave me a raging hard-on; Like she was having intercourse with herself in that futon while simultaneously engaging in everyday activities.

Oh god I love Erio and this show so much already.

P.S The OP is so bad I cannot stop listening to it. It is like that cute girl you took to the karaoke and thought could sing but turned out to be horrible, yet she is so adorable trying that you went "Fuck it" and asked for an encore anyway. I had the song on loop as I wrote this post obviously.

Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? 06: Eu’re Gonna Carry That Weight

Posted by Shin

Some semblance of proper story telling in my Korea Zombie??? It was almost unnerving to watch its transition from an over the top harem slapstick to a full fledged gorefest. Folks, it might just be me, but when Ayumu ran his chainsaw up Kyoko's lady bits, I nearly lost it. I am fine with graphical violence, but I draw the line at genital mutilation. That's not how you tear a girl's hymen, Ayumu! I used to think Index's Touma an unrepetent misogynist for punching the females in the show, but Ayumu takes it to a whole new level. That said, I suppose one of the oddities of shows of like these is where episodes would go by without any plot advancement whatsoever until at some point it arbitrarily manifests. More often that not, these attempts of injecting substance into the storyline feel somewhat forced in nature, which in turn renders everything out of place. However, to Korea Zombie's credit, it is actually a coherent extension to the story, with everything coming full circle in regards to the enigmatic Eu, whom I unfairly dismissed as a one dimensional kuudere whose sole purpose is to induce heart attacks every week with a new delusional persona.

While I still prefer Haruna for reasons mentioned previously, I now have a better opinion of the platemail-wearing necromancer and am somewhat empathetic about her plight and the burden she carries as an omnipotent character, giving Eu slightly more depth than what her archetype usually permits. As for you Necrophiles out there, just let me warn you that an intercourse session with Eu is going to be literally one hell of a time, because you are going to have to be at the top of your game every time you do her. Imagine that you are almost at the point of climax but with her Word of God in play, she orders you not to cum before her. Believe me, the feeling of wanting to ejaculate but unable to is an excruciating sensation far worse than death :oops:

For the time being, the only mystery about Eu that remains unsolved is why she does not have armour covering her nether regions unlike the rest of her body. I honestly think a chastity belt would have gone rather well with the rest of her gear. And since I'm on that topic, Haruna's slutty chainsaw did a fine job transforming Eu into a magical girl, and with the lack of a steady seiyuu, who better to fill those frilly shoes than the best of them all? People know her as the vocal talent behind Cardcaptor Sakura, but for me, Tange Sakura voices the love of mai life, Rinko, who incidentally transforms into a magical girl herself in Love Plus :lol: With two of the game's seiyuu's featured back to back(last week was Minaguchi Yuko of Nene fame), it would be great if next week's delusional Eu will include Hayami Saori :cool:

P.S I hate how Ayumu is the only one that remains fully clothed after a de-tranformation, while the other Masou Shoujos become butt naked. Sexist much, DEEN?

Infinite Stratos 06: I See Paris, I See France, I See Charlotte’s Unde-PLOTS

Posted by Shin

A long overdue post to quite easily my favourite show this season! Colloquially known as Country Wars, Infinite Stratos serves as a non-homosexual version of Hetalia where the war is fought over the protagonist's penis. I personally like to call it Ichika and Jelly Factory, due to the near-infinite(get it???) supply of grape flavoured, green goo that oozes out of the pores from both male audience due to jealousy and female characters in the show for the same reason as they try to gain the upperhand in winning over Ichika, who is a lot denser than the metallic components used to construct his mecha.

While it fares out pretty much like your typical one-lucky-asshole-many-women-wants-his-cock show, to brush it off as mere harem tripe would be unfair, as it manages to break the monotony associated with the genre with decent mecha combat, though Infinite Stratos really needs to follow up with an actual foe soon. Above all else, the battles helps to quell the urge of wanting to punch the monitor every time Ichika exhibits his retarded main character tendencies, such as ignoring the advances of my favourite girl, who up to this point is still China.

However, now that his harem is more or less complete, I cannot help but feel that Rin has been relegated to the sidelines in favour of the admittedly superior France. There is also the fact she has leapfrogged ahead of the pack by virtue of being the damsel in distress to Ichika's White Knight. That said, I have to call out on the producers for playing obvious favourites by employing the services of Kana Hanazawa to voice Charlotte, who is able to drive the ℳℴℯ of any character to unfathomable, nutbladder-decimating levels. Coupled with the fact that she is a reverse traps just sweetens the whole deal, since her boyish features appeals to me in ways a normal trap would.

Imagine yourself ploughing deep inside France as she tries to stifle her lust by going "But we're both boys!" Folks, I don't know about you, but those words would probably just make me pound her even harder while I yell Bon Appétit and show her the pleasures of being a woman. Unfortunately, the only reason why I have yet to jump ship is due to a taboo committed by the producers, or in this case the author, when it comes to designing a reverse trap. THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE HAVE A DELICIOUS FLAT CHEST. To add insult to injury, they even gave her the best pair of breasts in the whole goddamn show! As a man bound to his principles, I simply cannot overlook this desecration of archetypes, regardless of how delicious she may be otherwise. Sorry, Charlotte, I guess you will not be eating my semen :oops:

Speaking of a cum-guzzler, I was a bit worried about our boy Ichika, since his oblivious nature can somewhat be misconstrued for homosexuality, as proven last week, when he blushed as formerly Charles thanked him. His over-enthusiasm in wanting to see Charles naked sent all sorts of wrong signals too. Well, all doubt has been cleared; Ichika is pretty much just playing the Natsuru card only to buy himself time to evaluate which route to go after. I am assured that he is at least straight because, after all, remember when he was limping as he exited the shower? I know that feel bro! I walk like that too when I have a massive erection rubbing against my pants. Ichika, I still fucking hate you, and I rightfully should(otherwise Infinite Stratos would have failed as a harem show), but if you settle down with any of the girls(except Germany, she is a huge cunt, and probably a lesbian), all will be forgiven. I doubt that would happen by the end (of this) season, but fingers crossed anyway.

Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? 03: Itty Bitty Tiny Titty

Posted by Shin

Remember when fanservice meant something? Producers of Japanese cartoons these days seem to subscribe to the notion that shoving disgusting, fat mammillary glands dangling from the lipid filled-chest of a cow into the face of the audience would in some way titillate them. Little wonder that the industry is in decline! Studio DEEN, always the advocates of the grassroots fanservice movement have taken note of this degeneration in the quality of fanservice that is being showcased on the television and computer monitors of viewers today and has come up with a novel solution to address this issue.

Minimalism, is their answer, and just like fanservice itself, consumption is best had in small doses lest it leads to side effects such as carpal tunnel syndrome... Nothing screams minimalism like the perenial concept of fanservice whereby female characters are to be depicted with revealing or the least amount of clothing. Therefore, why shouldn't this be extended to the breasts of the aforementioned individuals themselves?

It takes a skilled artisan to portray flat chests in their succulent glory, so can you honestly tell me that while gazing into the depths of Haruna's erotic anthill, you have not once contemplated running your tongue on those sweet, sweet morsels of flesh? I didn't think so.
A tip of the hat to Tenshi in platemail, as it was a stroke of brilliance from the producer's part for them guest seiyuu-complemented delusions, churning the ℳℴℯ to nutbladder destroying levels, and lending life to an otherwise lifeless archtype.

As a special bonus, we also get a special cameo appearance by Hideyoshi. Oh DEEN, you're much too kind.

As for the episode itself, I honestly wouldn't have mind plain old slice of life shenanigans, since the show carries itself rather well in that department, with its well delivered comic timing. And dose god-tier delusions. Instead it moves forward by introducing someone who looks to be quite obviously the person who killed Ayumu. Whatever the twintail's motivations might be in framing Eu, anyone tuning in would be hard-pressed to take it seriously, so I'm guessing the reasoning behind it would be trivial in nature, and will probably resolve itself rather quickly, considering its twelve episode run, thus adding another member to his harem.

Amagami SS 20: It’d Be Nice…

Posted by Shin

Hehe… photos of you and me since we were small are pinned up on the corkboard in my room.
It’d be nice if I could pin up more and more photos of our memories from now on.
And… if, someday, there’d be a photo where you and I are more than just childhood friends…
If I could pin up a photo like that…
It’d be nice.

:cry:

It took her a total of four lifetimes, four resets to get to where she is now, and yet Rihoko is still somehow swindled out of her Best End. I am usually one who can express his feelings through reaction images, but after staring at my folder for an hour, there is not one image that can be used to describe my dismay at how the producers have blatantly given Rihoko the shaft, and not of the Junichi variety, mind you. Perhaps it is the producers way hitting us where it hurts most, as Rihoko's unrequited love for Junichi may, in some way, reflect our own experiences. Either that, the producers are venting their own frustration for being friendzoned themselves. Up until now, I have accepted the producers' handling of each arc, as even though they have taken quite a few liberties, we were ultimately given the best possible ending for each girl. This sudden U-turn was a low blow of course, as I jumped the gun into thinking that the childhood friend archetype had finally won. Sure the ending may have implied the possibility of an off-screen, soon-to-bloom romance, but denying Rihocchi her much deserved outcome even in her own arc is just too much.

Amagami SS 13: Peekaboo

Posted by Shin

He felt his heart in his mouth. That choky feeling in the throat which arose from fear, guilt and excitement. As he tilted his head in a peculiar angle for a better look, he was met only with soul-crushing disappointment; They were not panties. Not too dissimilar to Junichi's experience, though what I just described were actually recollections of my own school years.
