Asobi Ni Iku Yo

Completely understandable. I noticed the lack of Eris by about halfway through the episode, but I didn't mind so much. I do like her as a character, but I guess I just find Manami and Aoi a bit more interesting.

Also, up until now, for some reason I could deal/put up with it but now,

A tribute to Muttley from Wacky Races... ROFL

XD

Haha, maybe. He is a bit odd, but I still giggle whenever he's on screen for whatever reason.

I noticed that the first time they had him laugh

At least it has more personality than Kio. (Although that's not hard to achieve...I really hate him >_>)

I think we all hate him, guys like him, who have girls after him all while he doesn't notice it....lucky ass punk.

I just watched episode 9, and it's definitely my favorite one so far.

This was an episode that only got me to laugh because of product placement and the movie posters in the club room, the actual episode... ok, but just felt a little off, compared to the last episode, but I guess a change of pace here and there are good.

So I just got done watching episode 10, and I thought that it was pretty cool.

So, looks like we are headed towards the climax of the series, and I'm eager to find out how it will end.

Some serious shit went down in the 10th episode.

I've got to give the doggies credit for reverse engineering the omyouji spells to their advantage. Who the heck is Ichika anyways?

NOOO~~~ it's over~~~~

Epic last episode though.

It's like one mix of all other anime scenes. lol

Now, need to read the manga...

I just got done watching the final episode of Asobi Ni Kiku Yo, and I thought that it was pretty entertaining.

Overall, this was a nice summer show to watch. I wasn't expecting a lot out of it, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

I thought the ending was okay. I mean come on, all 3 girls loving him equally? Besides the epic 3-piece kissing scene, gimme a break. That had to be the lamest cop out I've seen in my anime-watching career.

That, as well as the fact that one bell given to Kio-kun solved everything... whaaat? I expected more character development from Kio-kun, but he kinda remained the same, oblvious dolt the entire season. He's not like those weak WEAK harem leads, but still, what a disappointment from a series with great animation and sound/music.

I suppose what cheered me up was that the Dogisian woman and her annoying dog assistaroid finally got their just desserts. Also the WhiteBase floaters and sentai costumes that the three girls used to fight against the Dogisian robots were epic tributes.

I am defintely waiting for the foursome genre hentai doujins of Asobi Ni Iku Yo! to hit the market soon enough, if not before Comiket 79. :D

Getting back on topic, Asobi Ni Iku Yo! has entertained me, in terms of storyline, cuteness and ecchi fanservice. I am also looking forward to the DVD and Blu-ray specials.

This is some interesting news:

Seems like this is happening to a lot of series lately, but I can't complain so long as it's full of ecchi goodness.

I'm sure it hasn't unless you've only been watching anime for the past year. A Harem End fits this show, and it was either that or still having the whole ambiguous relationships thing.



I've got to agree here. I thought Kio would either get character development a bit later, or just be a "normal guy" played straight for once. Unfortunately, he became more dense as the series went on and never got a real personality. Even Rito from ToLoveRu has some semblance of a personality. Good thing I was watching the series for the girls.



You have no appreciation for Muttley do you? Didn't you ever at least watch "Dick Dastardly & Muttley In Their Flying Machines"?



... Yeah ... about that ... that was an incredibly epic Tekkaman Blade tribute. Man, I feel so old having someone think Tekkaman Blade as a simple sentai show. Jens ship might be a tribute to Gundam's mobile armors though.

@ZeroOBK: I suppose I don't watch too many harem shows, but you name me some anime that have a "let's all love him equally" ending and I'll believe you. And the Saber Marionette series don't count. (Have not watched the Tenchi series either)

Sorry, never watched Dastardly and Muttley. Just thought that the dogbot was annoying with his, "Shhh shhh shhh."

Is that what the reference was, Tekkaman Blade? I have that on my long, long backlog of anime to watch. And no, I would consider you hardcore, not "old". It's just that I didn't recognize it since I haven't watched the series myself.

I'm not saying the Harem End is anything less than a rarity, but considering the other commonly chosen options are "let's maintain the harem by keeping the relationship ambiguous" or "let's just have the protagonist marry the female lead", I don't think it's that bad. The Harem End is about as rare as an ending where the protagonist DOESN'T choose the female lead. I guess I don't see it as a cop-out because all of the choices are, in a way, cop-outs. There are a lot of anime with worse story and relationship cop-outs.

Tenchi Muyo maintains the "ambiguous relatioships", Love Hina was "female lead", and ToLoveRu is the only other (non-Hentai) series off the top of my head to have a Harem End (though that's kind of not true anymore with the continuation TLR -Darkness-).



Dastardly and Muttley were some good, good times ...

I think it's too fast paced? Well like the organisations changing side,in a blink of an eye,lol.

Also the main protagonist is kinda refreshing too,he has the wits and the brains[somehow],totally different from other Shounen main guy.

I guess it's Cats vs. Dogs anime version?
