Kanokon #02 — Spicy Wolves

April 12th, 2008

 

And now I hate myself. Thank you, Kanokon.

Impressions:

Is this really the best that quasi-Friday has to offer? Really? Really!? Maybe if Amatsuki dragged its head out of its posterior long enough to be something aside from "The Neverending Fantastical Conversations of Toki" I’d be a little more enthusiastic about that. Then again, I guess Fridays have been pretty sparse for the last few seasons. Ever since Potemayo left a gaping hole in my heart in the Friday lineup that could never be filled. Now I’m stuck with this. I realize that it’s airing on some crazy pay station at 10 am on a Saturday morning, but come on. Come on.

I did start watching this with the intent to summarize, at least for now… and then we started with Chizuru bouncing her chest around and Kouta getting hypnotically drawn in. Then she flashed her panties in the middle of the road, sending him running off. A few minutes later, wolf-girl Nozomu was fellating a spare rib before sniffing him. The next day, Chizuru decided to just put up a barrier and try to screw him in the middle of the road. All this was just the first half. Things were only downhill from there, eventually reaching a naked catfight in the bath.

SO IN SHORT, we’re apparently not going to be hitting on the foxfire or the windscything or the other interesting (at least to me) facets of the show and are instead going to be sticking to the T&A pretty exclusively. If this keeps up (see below), I think I’ll just give Fridays a pass and let Totali have independant reign over the fox girl. I don’t mind, say… the incidental fanservice of Ikki Tousen, but even without that, there’s still something else there to watch and talk about, even if the fanboyism just gets you into becoming angry that the Battle of Chibi did not include flying dragonmen. No such luck with Kanokon. The boobs are the setup. The boobs are the content. The boobs are the punchline. And honestly, "X happens, Chizuru appears and tries to have sex with Kouta" was an old joke after one episode. I’m not laughing at two.

Unfortunately (well, depending on your point of view), the preview for episode 3 contained no trace of fanservice whatsoever, and more importantly, had fireballs. I love fireballs. *sigh* I guess I’ll abuse myself and give it one more episode after all. Even Ikki Tousen didn’t make me feel this unclean though. There better be some awesome fireball action next week though, or it’s over. No takebacks!

Preview:

Why is my weakness high explosives? I think I need a shrink.

    Duuuude. This show is awesome.

    It’d be awesomer if half the cast were set on fire.

    Here, have one. I’ll help.

    *gets out some gas oil*

    Yeah.

  • linmai says:

    burn burn!

  • totali says:

    “in my heart”

    Why is this crossed out.

  • Zeroblade says:

    Because he doesn’t have one.

  • Tsu-kun says:

    Nice lingerie…or lack there of.

  • Presumably there’s some nominal excuse given for why the wolf girl also wants him. (Nozomu? That was the name? The gray haired one with the DFC.)

    Is he magical or something? Source of a powerup? Or are they not even bothering to try to explain it?

  • Aroduc says:

    She likes his smell. That’s about it.

  • Tsu-kun says:

    Is that seriously why they won’t stop trying to get in his pants?
    Maybe he shoots magical power up beams from his crotch…

  • Nozomu is an “emotionless girl”, isn’t she? From the art, I’m getting that vibe.

  • Aroduc says:

    More or less, yeah. At the very least, she’s nowhere near as bubbly and emotive as Chizuru.
