Show: Girls Bravo Season/Volume: The Complete Series Genre: Anime Starring: Michelle Ruff, Carrie Savage, Yuri Lowenthal Studio: Funimation Runtime: 560 Minutes Release Date: November 23, 2010 Format: DVD Discs: 4 Rating: ( )Grade: D+ Nothing can be any worse for a guy than being allergic to girls but that’s exactly the situation that Yukinari finds himself in. Every time a girl talks to him or gets near him he becomes really flustered. Though when a girl actually touches him he breaks out in hives all over and will sometimes faint. That is until he gets whisked away to another world called Seiren, a world populated almost all by girls. This is where he meets Miharu, the only girl that he can get close to, talk to, and is actually able to touch him without causing him any sort of problems. Now, only if he could get his next door neighbor Kirie from beating him senseless every time she thinks he is being a pervert. This animation is one of the oddest that I’ve seen in a while. Ok, not really so much as odd as more dirty. Not x-rated or pornographic dirty but dirty in the way of topless girls running around a lot with a lot of bouncing involved. The plot has a little potential to it, with a guy that likes girls but just can’t get near them or touch them but when the theme became how many girls can be thrown in the show showing as much skin as possible or wearing the skimpiest clothes they can, I started to lose interest. I really couldn’t get into liking this animation. Sure I know as a guy that I’m supposed to be ingrained to like watching girls wearing near to nothing, walking around in their underwear, and being naked but it could be because they are just drawings, it could be that I found the show a little trite, or it could be that it made me feel a little perverted for watching it. Most of the plots of the episodes are the same, Yukinari finds himself in a situation that has him looking for or having to help the girl Miharu while also getting beat up by the girl Kirie. Not only do I not get how this guy is running around doing this but I don’t get why none of the girls or other guys are doing anything to stop him. Sure Kirie beats him up afterwards but then she goes right back to talking to him. The other girls just seem to take it as he does it and then continues along with what they were doing. It’s reasons like this that I started to find this show a little disturbing and lost any interest that I might have had in it. As for the rest of the show, well it’s a odd thing also. Like the animation is done both well and poorly. The detail given to the girls, on making them look good and having them bounce around, is good but the rest of the show is just mediocre at best. It looks like the work was put into making the girls look good but anything else was secondary. There’s also the plot lines that just seem to be about these girls and how much trouble they can get in or cause for Yukinari. At times there are some funny lines and moments in the show but not nearly enough to make me like the show enough to say it’s worth watching. |
