Broken Anime

So for a while my soul was consumed by gaming. Apologies to people who read my posts about not so popular series and the staff ><”. Anyways onto blogging about Koihime Musou…

Oh no, it’s the loli brigade! Too bad their reign is short lived, but that’s why Strike Witches is airing this season…right?

Sorry, do I love you? It might just be me, but the hair color of this black-haired bandit hunter (Kannu) isn’t very consistent. But that aside, she’s got plenty of redeeming factors.

And our other character, who seems to be the complete opposite of Kannu. Flatter than her male underlings, but dreaming big. Coincidentally she wields the same type of weapon as Kannu and is very adept at it even though it’s twice as tall as her. But since when did physics play a role in anime?

So for an action anime there is quite a bit of fanservice. It’s not something unexpected seeing how things like Kanokon were able to make it onto the air, but still I would rather prefer action anime to focus more on the action rather than the fanservice. Maybe it’s just because they put the bath scene in the first episode rather than saving it for later

So how are them flotation devices?

Oh man did she just cut through that huge ro—oh it’s Kannu. I wub yoo

Loli raid! Loli feast! Loli happy! Plot happens?

So where is this plot actually going to go? From the looks of the OP they pick up a few more people on their “journey to change the world” and fight against some aristocratic-looking blonde girl. I don’t know, action animes always find a way to fill up episodes so once I watch the second episode I stored in my hard drive I’ll have a better idea how worthwhile this show is going to be (plot-wise, I’m already willing to endure 12 episodes of this as long as Kannu gets enough screen time/pantsu shots).

Wow this chibi segment really took me by surprise. Totally did not expect that after a “this character had a horrible childhood” flashback. That said it was really cute except it almost seems like more time was put into drawing the owner than Kannu. Seriously, her curves are so polygonal even though she’s the main character. Usually it’s the minor characters that get shafted, but…

It was pretty funny watching the little “bandit” be carried down from their hiding spot. There are other moments in the episode that were amusing, but once again I hope that this won’t begin to replace the fighting scenes in this. Speaking of fight scenes, I enjoyed the fight between Kannu and Chouhi. My knowledge of animation is very limited, but it was smooth and the characters were drawn well.

Kannu’s hair style is original at least, but it’s also really unusual. the side ponytail is fine (ponytail in general) but the bangs are far too long. And uneven. In fact, I feel like I spend too much time looking at her hair when I should be looking at…nevermind…

What? These are Chouhi’s clothes? On Kannu? It doesn’t even seem remotely possible. That said, Chouhi must be crazy because they fit Kannu perfectly.

Kitty hairpins have feelings too! I almost want it to start eating things with its super long tongue like Guchuko’s horns.

Wow another surprise in the ED. This too is very cute and something that I’ll look forward to when I watch this series. On another note, I’ll be eagerly awaiting the clean ED to come out so chibi Kannu doesn’t have all that text over her…

So while proofreading I realized that this post is not even remotely organized and I’m too lazy to switch things around. Maybe I should stop blogging at 0300….anyways screen shots incoming
