I've already posted
my first impression on this season's reverse harem, Arcana Famiglia, and from what I can say on
the first episode, it's something I'm going to watch. Now from the many harem
series this season, this has got to be the one I'm having some motivation in
watch other than DOG DAYS'. Although
honestly speaking I don't have any deep reasons for that, I just felt like
watching this more than the other harem series this season.
Going over to how
this episode go, I'd have to say that it's more fun that I expected it to be.
As I have mentioned in my watch
list post, the production company is the one who brought us Haganai and Oreimo (who for some reasons both have
extremely long titles. LOL.). I pretty much like the comedy in this episode and
would definitely like to see more of them. As a harem, on the other hand, it
definitely is generic. There's nothing special to it other than the guy being
voiced by Nakamura
Yuuichi which I really like, btw.
Anyway, the story
has been clearly stated in this episode although I still had a couple of
questions. As what the synopsis had said, the Food Research Club may be
disbanded due to what the number one potential student council president
believes in. Since the potential student council president, Shinonome
Satsuki (Asakawa
Yuu), is the head of the financial committee (or something like it), she
wants to lower the budget of clubs that haven't gotten any achievements and
disband the useless clubs. With that, the Food Research Club, who practically
just samples and eats sweets as their club activities, is in danger of being
disbanded unless they do something about. AND they will (of course) and that's
by making Oojima Yuuki (Nakamura Yuuichi), run for student council president.
Other than the main
story, this anime has pretty much confused me a little. First off, I'd like to
go over with the OP scene of the episode. It's not that it totally confused me but rather, it just made
things a little complicated but I believe that this was the beginning of the
whole issue. I hate understanding complicated stuff so I'll let this slide.
From what I've seen in here, the student council seems to have their own issue
going on in one another and hopefully we'll get some light in there throughout
the series. Aside from the student council, I'd also like to point out what
Oojima can actually see while others couldn't. Honestly speaking, I found it
quite odd. This episode pointed out 2 things that only Oojima can see and those
were: the propeller on one of their classmates head and the mask covering one
of the student council president candidate. I'd say that's one of the
intriguing parts of this show.
As an opening
episode, I believe that it has gotten it's role done well. Similar to Arcana Famiglia, the huge cast (being a harem
series) is a big thing. Right after the OP, girls are started being introduced
in an easy to remember kind of way. Most of them (or practically all of them)
are pretty much typical right from the very first girls introduced, Sumiyoshi
Chisato (Nakamura
Eriko) and Kiba
Mifuyu (Mizuhashi
Kaori) which are Oojima's childhood friends. From what I've seen in their
club, I'm pretty sure that this will be a pretty fun anime since they pretty
much remind me of Haganai's Neighbor's
Club :D
In an overall look
on this episode, I'd say that KoiChoco
would be a pretty generic harem series. It's going to be a fun ride of
comedy-romance anime and I'm definitely tuning into this one. Whether I'll blog
it or not is a decision to make since I'm pretty busy but watching, definitely
yes. As I have mentioned a couple of times, being reminded of Haganai has greatly encouraged me into watching
this series :D
