I don't like this ep, throughout the entire episode I have the "ಠ_ಠ" look on my face, the bird is annoying all the character seem to be there just to be moe, everything is too random.
4/10, drop if ep 2 isn't any better

I really enjoyed the first episode. It started pretty slow, but once the bird started doing stuff things got interesting. I like the type of humor this show seems to be using, and the characters seemed pretty interesting. Looks to be a pretty funny slice of life show.

The bird was meh for me. At first when I saw it, I was hoping it'd do something interesting like start talking, and it did! But after establishing his character, I didn't feel like he did anything all that surprising or funny. He establishes himself as some sort of perverted royalty of sorts, he did some edgy things, but I guess it just wasn't very original other than being inside a birds body. OFC you could tell he wanted to look over the wall at the public bath right? So I expected that to happen, and it did, and between that there wasn't really anything that made me laugh... Too much bird I guess. Despite being perverted he seems rather family friendly? Having a talking bird mascot taken seriously is something I'd expect from a show aimed at a younger demographic I guess. I for one won't be getting hooked by that bird, anyway. Tamako and the boy didn't do anything all that interesting either that pops off the top of my head. Tamako seems to have her head on straight and is pretty normal. The boy seemed to be a little unassertive but that's normal as well. There seems to be some crazy plot points at play, but I'm not concerned about that, I'd rather have interesting personalities. If the arrogant perverted bird is the most interesting character, there's no way I'll get through this show. That type of character I just can't stomach for more than a few jokes an episode, unless he does some really witty stuff, which iirc he didn't. |

I mentioned manufactured melodrama which I thought Natsuiro Kiseki was the definition of. That part of the show didn't appeal to me. Tamayura had some sad undertones, which I liked, but the reason I dropped it, ultimately, was that it didn't keep me entertained. Any jokes were tame enough so that a six yr old would understand, iirc, much like the over-eating by the bird, most of the scenes were funny in a way that even young kids could get the joke. Which isn't a bad thing, there just wasn't enough of it that I found funny to keep my interest. Quote:
Just for the record I'm not a Angel Beats! fan, too much slapstick and action, not enough time spent getting to know the characters. Honestly I only enjoyed the first episode of Chuunibyou, for the comedy, and the last, for the drama and preaching. I really enjoy the character interactions, over-the-topness (particularly from Haruhi), and the situational innuendo, which I think accompanies most Key comedies. To achieve a really good reaction between characters, it takes two to tango, the bird is really obvious, and Tamako just doesn't seem to care, so the way I'm thinking, is that it's not fun to play jokes on someone who doesn't care! And then there's that thing about the bird being too predictable and straightforward, that's not very interesting for me either. Quote:

Speaking of K-on, unlike some of us here, I never get the slightest impression that Tamako resembles Yui in anyway. Yui is sort of a lazy genius-ditz, and here Tamako is a more diligent and rather normal girl. As for the airheadedness, if I were to rate Yui as 10, Tamako should be around 3-4 at best, so I don’t see how they are alike except maybe the anime art style. |
