I’m really late but w/e. I kinda enjoyed it. It’s simple and silly, but that’s the appeal IMO. And I think the show can get away with lower quality animation because of its genre and the style of the art. I laughed so many times because- as I told a friend- I thought like the main guy in highschool, I just didnt have the balls to say what I thought like he does.

I don’t really care that this has no plot, I laughed hard and for a comedy show ,that’s all it matters.

Heh, so I watched the early broadcast…I was going to wait for the official one, but I wanted to see why you and Kairu told me to ‘reconsider’ my decision…

It was this review that made want to watch in the first place, {skipped the summary part though ^_^’}, and after seeing the episode itself, there’s nothing to ‘reconsider’. I’m all for man-service and raunchy jokes, but it won’t be a MUST SEE anime, more like a “watch when waiting for subs” anime….

Have to agree its not the low-res that’s the problem, its the detailing, especially the eyes, that were horrendous. What’s with the overload of eyeliner? At times the faces were out of proportion and inconsistent too. The character’s motions were very choppy and felt early 2000-ish.

Melon’s dress design looked pretty delicious, though the flatness of the animation killed any appreciation of it.

I’ll watch the actual release one to see if any improvements would be made, though i doubt it.

I lulz at the CO2 hadokan.

[...] but better than Chaos;Head. So this is an ecchi, comedy show! What can you expect? Of course fanservice. But different. When you say fanservice, commonly its a service for fanboys. But this is different. [...]

Wahaha, I have been off for holiday free time and hence did not check the blog for the last 2 days. Finally back to comments!

@Nazar: It’s actually online on Yahoo TV. Well, it was actually rather painful for me in general since I am pretty much adverse to fanservice. When the fanservice turned into manservice, it just went into the realm of “so bad, it’s good” type of shit. I guess the cheeky lines of the anime might help a little but I do not think that it’s actually going to be great. Average, maybe, but the first episode does not grab attention.

@Westlo: Oh, i see. No wonder they look so stretched.

@TP: And Kanokon was loved by a lot. It seems that tons of people actually like fanservice. I don’t, sadly.I think that the winter season fare is rather thin, and I am not that excited about it at all.

@Kaioshin: Wow, you actually believe it a little to think that it’s actually possible? NO WAI!

@Kaitune: Totally agreed. The gals seem bland and boring, and I do not think that they are hardly attractive at all. I mean, Kanokon works because the animation is pretty darn good, and the gals are appealing. I do not like the fact that there is fanservice galore there, but I can understand why people will like Kanokon.

This? I cannot fathom except that people like mediocre stuff. Still, maybe something good will happen. Maybe.

@Kairu: Good for the lolz for sure.

@Silver: Nope, I admit that I got a 640 x 360 but it should still be decent at the very least. You can tell that it is not due to graphic degradation but the actual animation itself.

@LDC: LOLZ.

@Jenn: And considering that I do not even like fanservice in the first place, it is just a total turn off.

@Myssa: No, in fact, I am very surprised why he has to take such a bad role. I did not watch Inukami though, so maybe that is why.

@Illusion: YES.

BEST ANIME OF 2009

Impz: Does it give you any comfort that Jun Fukuyama of Inukami! fame is voicing the lead? If so you should have EXPECTED the naked manservice.

Episode was quite a disappointment indeed. Bad animation always makes me sad when I’m trying to take screenshots…sigh.

Oh, the thing about “I like girls but I am going to run away,” personally I don’t really mind that at all because to me it’s not nonsensical either. Either way, it’s fun and entertaining to me to see all types.

Isn’t the quality poor rather because it was streamed online at a low resolution?

This is gay. Manservice? Oh come on.
I dont know. But Ill still watch this shit for the lulz.

For an anime that is supposed to sell girls and their bodies, the chicks in this first episode don’t look that hot or appealing to me (ESPECIALLY the main girl)…… I know that it is hard to live up to the promo art, but they should do better than this.

At least, it should be VERY funny if the art and quality is like this. I like boobies (and actually manservices too, however the main guy isn’t appealing to me enough for his service to qualify as attraction), but I am not enough of a moe-addicted otaku to watch something like this for no extraordinary good reason.
