Seitokai Yakuindomo Episode One Review

Wednesday, 7 July, 2010

Seitokai Yakuindomo is another romcom anime released this season. This story focuses on a male protagonist, Takatoshi, who selects to go to a school dominated by females due to the distance to his house. The school opened up to both genders this year, and he is among a few who have braved the dangers to attend the school. However, he is immediately recruited into the schools’ student council by the wacky president.

The anime parodies other modern anime, and includes a lot of dark humor. At times, the comedy seems to be overwhelming, but sometimes readers will not get the jokes presented. Again, the dark humor in this series is really apparent, and it’s not intended for younger audiences. With dark humor as the anime’s main focus, I’m doubting whether Seitokai Yakuindomo can last an entire season while being hilarious and refreshing every episode.

Preview Score: 5.5/10

Ookami-san to Shichinin no Nakamatachi Episode One Review

Wednesday, 7 July, 2010

Ookami-san is a romcom parody anime by J.C. Staff. The story focuses on Ryouko Ookami, who is a member of the Otogi Bank. The club does students favors, in return for other favors. One day, a shy student named Ryoushi confesses to Ryouko, and the head members of the Otogi Bank decide to let him in the club to “test his abilities”.

The anime heavily parodies existing anime and cartoons, such as Cinderella and Little Red Riding Hood.

For the first episode, there was far too much going on in terms of explanation of things, which lower the enjoyment of the show. If the entire series require so much explanation for the viewers to get, the show would end up as plain and boring.

Preview Score: 6/10
