Now this anime, is quite.. interesting, But.. Let's get right into it.

September 12, 2007

Episodes : 12 (In Season 1)

Genre : Comedy, Ecchi, Romance (sorta).

This anime.. is weird, honestly, It's IS VERY weird, So if you like your anime's weird  feel free to watch this one. 

Warning! This Anime Contains Lolis And Other Underage Scenarios
Yes! As my warning says, this anime does contain this kinda subject material, even the main character doesn't want anything to do with it, But you'll see how he manages. Anyway, This anime has caused some controversy and some other problems 

Controversy :
Now from what I have read, this controversy is all about the character (Rin) And The Teacher's age, that which does complicate things and does make this overall, Loli Nature, And yes it does contain some sexual problems, No This isn't a hentai, but it does cause some.. Tension, And no there is no sex scenes or anything, it's Ecchi though (Sexual Situations Without Nudity)
Therefore if you have a problem with any of this, and you still want to know the story, Just read my review, if you think you'll like this kinda thing, then it's worth a watch.

Characters : Like Elfen Lied, There are several, which I'll go over, I'm not going to go into detail of all the characters, but only a few that are Necessary 

Daisuke Aoki : He is our Sensei for this run, He is picked on by the students a few times, being called Virgin due to.. Rin's Knowledge, how she knows is beyond me, Anyway, He's a nice guy and seems to be emotionally stable, He's smart but does lack in disciplining the students, due to his carefree nature. Whenever he does seem to crack down on the students, they get rebellious and go Crazy, Overall, Good Main Character.




Rin Kokonoe : She's our second main character, the "Romantic Interest" if you will, She's mischievous  She's cute for her age, and she's smart, She's claimed to the entire class to be Daisuke's Girlfriend many times, just to get him into even more trouble,  This has resulted in her crossing moral and legal boundaries many times, including blackmail and taking advantage of Daisuke's inability to respond to her forcible advances by threatening to scream that he is trying to molest her, when in fact it is her that is making those advances. 


Kuro Kagami : She's basically Rin's best friend and our Tsunadere for the series, and yes, she is a bitchy character. She basically is in love with Rin, Yep, Some form of Lesbian relationship that she wants. But most times it ends up with her being rejected for being the same gender by Rin. From what i've seen her parents are rich or high class. She tends to consider Daisuke her rival and calls him a Pervert, Lolicon, and other names.


Mimi Usa : Oh God, before I even talk about her, I have to adress something about her, Despite her age of 8, or so, She appears to have a C Cup Breast, Which is random yes, but it does play a big part in the series in ecchi like situations, and NO I don't have any idea why a creator would give that size of a breast to a CHILD, anyway, She's shy, very smart but isn't in the first two episodes due to an event, which I won't spoil, She's known for being picked on and other stuff such as that.

Plot :  Yes, Surprisingly, there is a plot to this anime. Daisuke transfers to a new school because 
the old teacher apparently quit, after dealing with those kids.. I think i'd quit too, And basically
a school setting takes place. other then that, there really is no plot other then Rin trying to make
Daisuke love her and other bad situations

Animation : Now don't get me wrong, despite the dirty situation, the animation is perfectly fine
and I think the character style is very cute, I actually enjoy this, despite the almost crossing the 
boundaries of being wrong.

Sound (Music) : Honestly I wasn't paying too much attention to the music, but it seems to fit, 
I would have noticed music that doesn't fit.

Sound (Voice) : I like all the voices and they all fit their characters, I like Daisuke's the most
because it really suits his character and him

Ending And Opening : The ending and opening is suppose to be something about love.
But with the whole "Wrong" Aura around it, I can't even pay attention without getting the wrong vibe
other then that, cute song and cute little dance.

Rating :  7/10 Only because I really dislike lolis and underage girls, other then that, It was a good
anime, passable if you don't care for that kinda subject matter, Don't worry, i'll pick a better anime
one for everyone next time, Thanks to Lunarflame, for listening to me banter about this anime
she really got her laughs when I was saying such phrases as "WTF?" and "Is this really happening!?"

Closing : Well this is my second review, and i'm glad people are patient with me pushing them out, 
There are more to come, and stick around, Thanks for Reading, Happy Holidays, Sorcerer Out.
