And while Majolica is a witch, her name is derived from Arthurian legend, Morgan le Fay. Not sure what that says about her role in the story, but it's worth pondering. |

In due time we will recognize the legends or fables the different characters allude to. While the fairy tale motif isn't something original, I can see this series as a wonderful aperitif. The Cinderella one is already addressed; Little Red Riding Hood, the hunter and the wolf (subverted by being friends in this incarnation) was already seen; and as Midonin noted, so is a character of Arthurian legend, another fable, and a Japanese folk tale.
Thanks for that.

The first episode has many good points but the bad points are...well more than good there are -3-.
Liked the last part about the Cinderella..... Hey! Whats with the member of Judgement narrator? putting emphasis on the same thing many times kills the joke. Rate: 4/10 for now, it can get better. |

Watched Episode 1, this show is great, I like Ookami, she's very cool, also her uniform design is probably my second favorite ever. First being the black and white ones from the first Tenchi Muyo movie. Ringo is pretty funny. Youch for that kick to the face, it was even funnier in the epilogue. I think the narrator is funny. I like narrators and characters that break the 4th wall.

When I saw a pic of Ookami in another site, I seriously thought that was a Taiga parody..
The first episode wasn't anything special, with the exception utterly hilarious post credit sequence. The Lemony Narrator brought a few smiles but after Hayate its not that hilarious anymore. The red riding hood thing the main characters have going on interests me. In particular, that shadowy figure in the OP looks like it could be Ringo's grandmother. The -su thing is annoying as hell though. Stealth Momo was already too much. |

If so, is that a possible plot hole for a siscon Arthur to suddenly appear? P.S (OT) Who is the girl in your avatar?

I enjoyed that. It was entertainingly daft and likeable, and the narrator really made it for me.
Fourth wall? What fourth wall? I loved the masochistic denouement to their take on Cinderella. I literally laughed out loud, on a number of occasions. If it can do that, I'll keep watching it. |

Spoiler for Ookami-san best parts:
the rest of the ep was good too. And I liked "kuroko" narrator. It's just the male-lead(?) is such a wimp... I guess, I'm finally starting to see Yuuto (OH) in a new a light, thanks to him. lol Anyway, I'll keep watching this just to see how future fairy tales will play out, and for the funny-fanservicey shots.

Well there you are, was wondering which series you are going to follow besides Strike Pantsu

Now you gave me a strange idea: doing my own 4koma fairy tales based on Ookami-san I'm not saying I'm doing that! |

Ok episode. It definitely didn't wow me. The main male character was more pathetic than I expected though. I certainly hope he levels up somewhere. The kick me in the face part was hilarious though and I did like the kitten gloves.
I did like the OP and it is somewhat catchy. |
