I think the only way to watch this show is to make a drinking game out of spotting all of the fetishes it appears to be catering too, although you risk alcohol poisoning that way.If only Harry Potter had it this lucky.
I can give this one a pass unless the 2nd episode is something epic.Again, from my notes.
Young man attends magical academy, summons cat-girl Belldandy, they make a contract, his “cousin” moves in with him, hey! Harem!
Pretty straight-up harem show by the looks of it, right down to Tropes #377 (“she’s my cousin so it’s not incest”), #231 (dog-girl), and #2 (“We’re moving in together”). Also features the mute glasses girl, the Cortana, and most of the other fetishes out there.
But it’s self-conscious enough to poke fun at itself, it seems. Watch for a Mario Bros. sound effect in the intro, for example, Scouters that go over 10,000, and a character explicitly described as “Boob+Glasses.” Oh, and a plasma sword that destroys buildings. The maid wielding the mop-spear was entertaining, as she could theoretically gut you and clean up the mess afterwards. If that other show (gods I hope Steve hasn't shown it) is 4chan, this is more like wakachan: rolls around in the memes while laughing at them. It’s a solid piece of brainless fun you might want to check out, but that you could also find almost anywhere.Wait... if this show is wakachan then I shudder to think of what the 4chan equivalent might be. Presuming of course that it doesn't indulge in /d/eviance. Although considering some of the oldschoolers a fa/tg/uy show might be entertaining in a horrible sort of way.
And yes, I do feel ashamed for knowing enough about 4chan to be able to know which boards those are.I am very, very glad I cannot recall the title of it. All I know is that I labelled it as "Stupid fanservice 'This Is Painful'" show in my notes, and that you'll know it when it shows up in the club and everyone starts weeping tears of blood. I seem to recall that the Friday group scored it an effective 0 simply because the scores ranged from 5 to -5.
I think it was Kemeko.I watched all of Demonbane and the first season of Rosario Vampire, so I do believe my tear ducts already scabbed over a l- Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn! -ong time ago, along with the ability for my mind to suffer long term damage from such things, similar to how its hard to damage a glass parking lot further.
That said the second season of Rosario Vampire I found intolerable considering that I had read the far, far less fanservicey and far more awesome manga in the interim. The phrase "The stupid, it burns" really applies to that series.This one hurt. (though it would have hurt more had i not distracted myself by trying to pin down a familiar voice) Just when you think they can't possibly throw in anything else... they do. *sighs* I can only hope I don't have to sit myself through something like that again.
