ep2: strangely enough, I find myself liking this more than say, Lotte. Both are very slow shows, but this one seems to strike the right chords for me.
well, BIG exception made for the little brother, of course. Thankfully, they reduced his screentime a bit in ep2 (still too much, anyway). but, what irks me to no end is the fact they appear to have no problems at showing shota nipples, whereas the poor Ui's got her breasts censored. double-standards much?

I can certainly agree with the "strikes the right chord" assessment of the show. There isn't much that stands out about the series, but i think simplicity might well be its strength - a simple, lighthearted story that's easy to follow, easy to digest and easy to consume. Nothing really seems to jump out that would disturb the scenery passing by, and i hope it stays that way - it isn't bad to have a simple, relaxing "feel good" show during a season that features a couple of drama titles besides, nor is it silly enough to compete with the comedies. An unassuming story presented in a nice away, a middle ground that pleasantly tickles my senses without overloading any of them.
My only real complaint would be the overly moe-fied little brother ... that's one thing of the story i wouldn't mind go missing, but that is unlikely to become the case, seeing how much Kazuma is centered on him ... i bet he would abandon his date in the middle of things and came running home if his brother as much as developed a slight case of running nose

I love the setting as well, small country-side towns are among my favorite settings. They allow for such... tranquility. Quote:

im guessing that this guy:
met da miko, airhead, short haired girl (prolly) green haired girl (prolly) and senpai (my gut feeling says that they met before the whole bathroom incident) during his time as a kid. I can also believe Ui can eat THAT much and still retain form. the girls i know (dunno if it applies to MOST girls) dont wanna get fet OR eat a lot to maintain their body.....

Also, I am finding said Ui very cute...I think its a combination of the coloring in her eyes and those sound effects when she blinked in this ep ditz's usually annoy me but so far I don't really dislike any of the characters yet. The "best friend dude" is typical but not so overbearing and Ui's friend (names!) isn't as step on toes annoying as I thought she would be (yet, may change). I haven't watched a harem like this in a long time and I'm surprised how well this is going over with me right now. |

I guess I'm surprised - and not surprised - at the amount of attention the Ayumu character is getting. He's actually the only obvious thing that makes this show visibly different from the countless others of its breed at this point. As regards the above scene, I think it wasn't so much that it was a bath scene or even the nipples, but the way the camera sort of...lovingly (for lack of a better word) hovered over them. That and the bizarre narration over the PV lent an extreme air of "odd" to the end of the episode. I have no idea if there's an "otouto route" in this game or not, but if there's no point to all this setup with Ayumu this amounts to a pretty ballsy (and quite humorous) troll by the anime staff...

The 'otouto route' in the game is more or less a 'normal end' if you don't hook up with anyone. It's short and just consists of one scene of them walking together and saying they'll be together forever or something cheesy like that.
