How could I have sat on this sublime theological parable for so long?

Where is the running/training on the beach? Where is the oneesama running up the stairs wearing iron geta (sandals)? Where is the necessary dead first love to inspire our heroine? Where is the atmosphere? Where is the powerful drum music? Where are the stand out characters?

Well, dream on Otaku boys (that of course includes me) but this never happens in real life.
I got the same conclusion after watching episodes 1 and 2.
Oh sure. A glass guy who’s actually not an otaku but exhibits all the behaviors of an anime lead especially when facing a cute girl??? Come on!
A rich girl who’s into anime, or rather actuall, who’s otaku? Yeah right.
And she acts just like the main harem girl lead? Oh my god.
Mamiko-chan, why oh why oh why???

In that the annoying guy chasing after Lina et el isn’t a real idiot this time.

So, the loli wants our hapless hero as oniichan..oh…how sweet.
And the harem grows! Big breasted miko-san and now a loli.
Boy, I want to be the master of seiki-reis!
“Oh you just don’t know his good points!”
Yeah, no kidding. As if he had any.
The game goes on and more girls are sprouting wings and at least, the twins put down their feet at the college guy for hitting on other women (with bigger breasts). But hey,
In the otaku’s fantasy world, this has just enough emotional impact to make everything else more acceptable.
Like fan service but not the actual sex? Then this one is for you…
What, I didn’t say much? What’s there to say?

It’s the cynical side of anime but not quite cyberpunk, because there isn’t enough cybernetic stuff in this one. But the future certainly is gloomy, dark and dirty in this one without the awe, the sense of parading and the overblown 80’s music score (ala Bubblegum Crisis).

Yeah, so, another show turning male heroes of legends of China into girls.
Big breasted girls, loli girls, jo-oh sama (queen) girls, tsundere/lesbo/big breasted girls…

…hurried, a little jumbled up but not confused. Nope, not at all.

AX 2008 and its associated coverage put the new Summer 2008 season on hold for me. I’ve finally gotten around to actually watching a few of the new shows, though, and these are my thoughts. (An entry here does not guarantee regular blogging later.) All impressions are drawn from 1 or 2 episodes.

How long has it been since I wrote an actual, well, anime review? It’s fitting that my first regular, non-video entry has to do with my favorite show so far this year.
