Ro-Kyu-Bu! #01 — Fetishism… Surprise!
July 1st, 2011
It just clicked this morning that you can read the show’s title as "69 Club!" That’s… unsettling.
Impressions:
Well, I’ve already blown my wad with pretending to be a total prat with Blade, so I guess I better take this seriously before I get to the second vampire show of the day. The brief version is that as expected, 80% of this is just fetishizing little girls. When they’re not panting, moaning, and rubbing large rubber balls balls, they’re in their underwear, in pajamas, in maid dresses, or just plain wet and naked. Well, and one strange point where one of them is wearing a bathing suit to bed. I’m not sure what that was. The remaining 18% of it is Hasegawa, the male lead, being insecure. That leaves a paltry 2% of the show actually focusing on humor or slow motion jump shots full of light bloom. I can appreciate… or in many cases, ignore… bad T&A with the best of them, but there is just absolutely nothing to this episode beyond looking at little girls in various fetish situations while they pant.
On the upside though, the production is actually fairly good. After coming off of Blade, my standards may be a little low, but it was at least much more animated and didn’t rely as heavily on bad shortcuts. They actually dribbled the ball and impossible even bounced it between their legs every now and then, although I’m fairly certain that I saw the ball teleport at least once. The MMO chatting was pretty lame, but that was the exception to the episode rather than the rule.There’s an odd lack of music through most of it.
So I guess maybe it’s better than I expected, but it’s still very plainly fetish-bait aimed at people who fantasize about sweaty little girls eager to please and crawling all over them… and little else in the way of humor or story that gives it any kind of character. That’s what sets it apart from a certain other show about underage magical girl detectives with hair colors normally associated with a healthy radioactive glow. Well, that and the really really pointy nipples.

Is the OP a little TOO serious… that’s what you’d play for the dark ark of Kenichi.
