Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan – 01
I am fairly positive this is not for me. Similar to different comedies of this caliber aren’t. Some individuals discover it humorous, I do not – that is how comedy works. The strategy right here is saturation bombing, and some of the jokes do work due to it. However the total success price is simply too low to assume Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan has an amazing likelihood of convincing me.
As I discussed within the preview, I used to be largely motivated to observe this collection as a result of Oota Masahiko is the director, and he is one of many true giants of comedy anime. And that is not even mentioning the manufacturing at Wit, though it does not have the identical cachet it used to. The fundamental premise is {that a} deer woman reveals up at a highschool and instantly begins ruining the lifetime of a pretentious highschool idol who’s determined to cover her delinquent (it is at all times humorous that the trendy Japanese phrase for that is “yankee”) previous. After all, there is no rationalization for any of this but, however I assume that is simply the sort of present that does not give any explanations.
I had just a few laughs, I believe – a few of the background element was spectacular (there are quite a lot of blink-and-you’ll-miss-it visible gags). And Han Megumi’s work because the deer woman “Nokotan” is mostly humorous. However the principle jokes felt a bit missing for me, and since they’re repetitive, that’s a little bit of an issue. You’d prefer to assume there was one thing within the manga that made Wit and Oota (who not often directs as of late) wish to work on this present. However that’s not instantly obvious. I’ll watch yet one more episode, however I don’t actually have excessive hopes for it.
2.5-jigen no Ririsa – 01
I really wasn’t planning on writing a put up about this – it didn’t make it previous the preview. However I heard some fairly good suggestions in regards to the premiere, so I watched it. There are literally fairly just a few romcoms this season, it seems. None of them stood out as “it” – and 2.5-jigs no Ririsa actually not – however this was not a nasty premiere. “Inoffensive” is the phrase that involves thoughts, regardless of the premise. With just a bit little bit of uncertainty about that premise to maintain issues fascinating.
As a romantic comedy a couple of cosplay fanatic, it clearly brings again reminiscences Sono Bisque Doll with Koi and Suru somewhat bit, however the two collection aren’t all that comparable. On this case, we’ve got an otaku child named Okamura who’s the one member of his highschool’s manga membership (which I don’t assume was allowed). The membership is definitely a pretext for him to fetishize Lilliel, his favourite 2D waifu. Having had unhealthy luck with girls (together with his mom), Okamura has vowed by no means to point out curiosity in a 3D lady. So naturally, he’s flabbergasted when one reveals up and asks to affix the membership—and shocked when it seems she’s simply as massive a fan of Lilliel as he’s.
I do have some questions on this – primarily whether or not there’s a goal behind Ririsa’s (the woman) strategy to Okamura. In some way I felt like this may be a rip-off on her half (or a pursuit), however it’s in all probability legit. Both manner, the 2 are fairly humorous collectively and I can think about there being some attraction to that relationship. There are nonetheless quite a lot of ladies to be launched and I worry this may go the harem route, and total I doubt the story will stick round for a lot. However for no less than every week 2.5-jigs no Ririsa was entertaining sufficient and total fairly good-natured.
