This is a nice replacement so far for Otome wa Boku ni Koi Shiteru. Nice and pleasant. I’ll post more when I see more of the show. I’m on Episode 5 right now, having just finished the cookoff. :3

wow, so far, i hav only downloaded this anime to the 5th episode and funny thing is that, under the website AniDB, it does not hav a genre. Any of u guys know wat genre this anime is? Hmm, oh ya the music link that was put up to allow us to download the opening and ending song isn’t working i guess cos i cant seem to download it, and i simply LOVE the ending song, so soothing.

Sana: let me rephrase to add the unstated assumption: “Painfully little fanservice _for a harem show_.” I’ve come to expect a certain amount of it in a show about one guy dealing with multiple girls (and I expect it because it’s what’s delivered so often).

However, as the episodes have progressed (I’m up to #3 now), I think that it is a mistake to think of it as a harem show. We’ve hardly seen Tohya again and the Natsuki-Feena conflict has been fairly indirect and low-key. The more I watch it, the more I’m convinced that it’s really Feena’s story (a very weak shoujo romance w/o the angst), but the minimal fanservice and harem aspects have been added to snow the guys into watching.

If I’m going to watch a romance involving a “princess” and an ordinary guy, AMG has done it so much better as to make this show appear unworthy If you think there’s no fanservice in AMG, you haven’t been watching Peorth or Urd. (Of course, it doesn’t have to be as explicit as a “camel toe” for me to think of it as fanservice. I have low standards, which is why I think CL is so lame — it doesn’t even reach them.)

Be a romance, be a fanservice vehicle, be a harem show. Pick any two. This show hasn’t picked any; it’s just a lame pastiche of clichés. A fuller take (based on the first episode only) is here.

Painfully little, huh? It might be because I’m a girl, but fanservice=cringeworthy and pointless. Course, I love Yoakena. Except when that old pervert photographer shows up with candid Feena pictures.

Painfully little fanservice. I’d rather watch Louise and Saito being idiots. I just found a translation of the first part of the first novel: Saito is 17. I’d pegged him at 15 going on 13. Sad really. Even sadder that this show is such a null that I just spent 90% of this comment talking about an entirely different one.

Natsuki looks like Asahina Mikuru. Therefore I have dubbed her Mikuru’s tsuntsun twin.

I find it wholly amusing that the clarinet girl’s name is Midori. Her parents must not be creative at all.

The OP is boring. Painfully so. However, it syncs perfectly with the OP of Higurashi. That, at least, is a source of amusement.

My friend stopped watching when Feena showed up. ^^;;
