R-15

[Shimapan]

The good premise didn't disappoint, I found it very funny with many likeable characters who all have the individual traits
What I didn't like was - why does that photographer girl have to wear awful trousers?

The censorship was seriously unfunny though and completely overdone
I've heard though that the At-X airing one week later should be uncensored, so there's still hope

I am watching this regardless what Guardian Enzo's or whoever's opinion.

I guess normally one would expect this "class" of girls to wear short skirts, but she definitely looks great with the pants.

But why is she allowed to wear something differently other than the school uniform on school grounds, I wonder.

Truly the title of this anime stands for R-15 with the images Iam seeing. Will take a looky.

Dunno, lately even at-x start the censoring mode (if i were a customer of this paytv i cancel the contract immediately), watching a show where fanservice is part of the main plot but they censor the fanservice make zero sense, broadcast it online via streaming like Qwaser was so difficult? Idiots producers. Same for Manuyy Hikenchou, completely wasted.

Though I haven't watched Mitsudomoe, I largely agree with Enzo (especially the bit about Lucy ).

But: while usually one should go with "show, don't tell", I can't help but feel that, where the main character's "genius" writing's concerned, I could have used more telling, and a lot less showing. As in, no showing at all. I suppose one could consider it funny, but it just breaks my suspension of disbelief.

Well, I think the idea is that Taketo enters into some kind of quasi-orgasmic fugue state where he sees this stuff playing out in his head and his hand is writing it down, unconsciously. The notion is that we're seeing what he sees, and then, as if by magic, the florid prose is written down on paper (or a tree stump). Thus, the showing. That's my read, anyway.

[Anh_Minh]

My problem isn't with showing the act of writing. It's with the writing itself. I just can't take it as "genius porn writing". I'd have been fine with showing what he imagines, showing him writing, but replacing the words with some kind of elevator music and blurring the characters.

edit: wow. Of all the disparaging comments I make, this is what gets me neg-repped?

[HandofFate]

am I picking up something that isn't there? Cause I don't think many here mentioned it.

This episode, whenever he spazs out and starts writing uncontrollably, its not ero-writing.

When he was writing on the rock, it was the start of a proper newspaper article on the clarinet player, which is why the photographer got mad that it wasn't something of his genius/rep should be writing.

Then at the end, he's writing a regular generic magical girl light-novel story.

Might be other instances, but I think the only time it showed him writing ero-story was in the beginning when he was day-dreaming.

[tsunade666]

I think at the near end of the episode when he saw the sleeping clarinet girl. The inspiration there is true to his soul and his not just a ero genius writer but more like a real genius writer if he can write a light novel type of magical girl genre about that girl.

What??? That's just wrong.

I do think you have a valid point. I just think part of the gag is that his "genius writing" is actually adolescent pap, so I think they feel they have to be a little more specific.

Interesting, but how do you propose to do that in anime? I can fap just well to a wall of Japanese texts with no sfx whatsoever in 2ch's eroparo thread (they have truckloads of very good and even "genius" scripts), but doing that in an anime would be ridiculous.

Anime's the easiest to do that it. I explained how in my next post.

It's the worst first episode I've seen since Prism Ark. There's one more anime I would call just as bad as Prism Arc and this.. but I can't remember it.. and it's probably best it stays that way.

and dont tell me that this bastard will pick the little pinky *****.the photographer girl, the bondage beast and the idol... these three are my choices...

Didn't you see the OP? Of course he will, though it might not make it "official" during this series since it's based on an ongoing light novel series, but it should be obvious.. I highly doubt we'll get an Ichigo 100% situation.... lol @ that OP.

Is the bolded part what you meant by it?

Maybe I get it wrong, but I don't think there's much difference to what we already have since that's yet another form of "showing", imo. Perhaps it's more your preference to how the "show" is presented.

Tbh though, this anime really leaves much to be desired. I still don't have compelling enough reason to follow this closely. I might still watch it, but I'm not holding my breath. Though to give it some credit we're still only at ep.1

Leaving his actual written words to the imagination makes a huge difference on whether one can accept him as a genius writer or not. Or do you think the drivel we've been shown could actually pass as "genius porn writing" rather than the result of some unfortunate drunken word game?

[Guardian Enzo]

I truly believe "genius porn writer" is meant to be ironic. It's supposed to be drivel - that's the joke.

That said, even if you accept that premise, it's still vital that his actual words be used. If you don't hear the drivel, the drivel isn't funny. Therefore leaving them to the imagination doesn't work either way.

The Newspaper Chief, doesn't have a name, WTF is up with that?

She is the top 3 character in this show!!!!!!

True... she's only called "Buchou" (Chief) on the official page
That doesn't stop me from caliming her though
Perhaps we'll get to know her name later.
In Angel Beats, we didn't get to know Tenshi's name for a good while either.

Maybe... but that kinda breaks the "school for geniuses" premise for me. And without it, everything becomes a lot less funny.
