Last month, I previewed Ookami-san, giving a score of 6/10 for the annoying commentary.
Six episodes through it, it still hasn’t changed one bit. The commentary is still there, and is still as heavy as it was in episode 1. The series still hasn’t seen much in terms of story progression until episodes 6, where Ookami reveals a little bit more about her past.
It’s doing an above average job as a story. As of the moment, it’s starting to transform itself from a fairy tale parody to a story of it’s own, although I doubt we’ll be getting much more before the season ends.
Mid-Season Score: 6.8/10

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
