Guardian Charm Himari #02 — What a Beach… na no

January 13th, 2010

 

Har de har har…

Impressions:

Actually, I’m still in class for another 20 minutes or so (plus getting home). I just felt like flexing my auto-cappery muscles today since learning about database key constraints for the eighth time in my life is boring me to tears. Real thoughts should be up in an hour or so. Hell, I can even post the ED.

Well, this seems pretty content to stay a brainless comedy, but Yuuto’s getting even tougher to stand. The girl wants to sex him up in the dressing room and all he can think about is buying her clothes. It raises significant questions as to who actually has the testicles in this relationship. I’m sure it’s only going to get tougher to stand him from here out too as the girls start throwing their bodies at him. And this is yet another one of those times where the OP and ED blows any drama of the situation away since we all already know that this ‘antagonist’ is going to be dancing around with catears on her head and trawling for Yuuto’s junk before the month is over.

The music remains a pretty mixed bag, but at least they’ve got a lot of tunes to throw around. Again, the more serious themes were rather good while the rest… not so much. I could also use about 80 fewer background moans… and the tentacle monster wasn’t even involved in any of them. I do feel the need to beg the question as to why Shizuku felt the need to save him from drowning just to stab him (nano). Yuuto’s little misogynstic speech was also pretty painful at the end. I would have liked to see Himari actually put some effort in too instead of just stabbing her leg to break out. Let’s see some Yoko-class transformations and tearing crap up.

    Reminds me of Drew Carey somehow…

  • Ransom says:

    Still hope for the best, the manga started slow as well.

  • Hyosuke says:

    Tentacle monster wasn’t in the original. Oh how I wonder why they felt the need to put it in the anime. (sigh)

  • Ransom says:

    You are right, it wasn’t in the original…
    Man, they have enough material in the manga for an above average 26 ep anime, and they still resort to fillers :(

  • Anise Punter says:

    Yeah, that’s more of what I was expecting them to do with this series.

    *sigh*

  • Random Anon says:

    *sigh* This feels extremely rushed… and I was anticipating it so much as well *sigh*

  • sage says:

    Beach episode? So soon? And there’s tentacle rape?

    This show is awesome.

  • Lero says:

    Looks like they are introducing Mizuchi and the Maid more fast than the manga… are they planning to go to the plot after the introduction of the gothic lolita girl??

  • chad001 says:

    Notice that in the OP, Himari’s perverted action changes per episode, last it was rubbing Yuuto’s chest, now it’s gym clothes…
