Comments on: Fight Ippatsu! Juuden-chan!! #12 — Miracles Appear Beside Reality http://tenka.seiha.org/2009/09/fight-ippatsu-juuden-chan-12-miracles-appear-beside-reality/ Thu, 09 Feb 2012 05:07:31 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Aroduc http://tenka.seiha.org/2009/09/fight-ippatsu-juuden-chan-12-miracles-appear-beside-reality/comment-page-1/#comment-25944 Aroduc Fri, 11 Sep 2009 22:13:41 +0000 http://blog.seiha.org/?p=4545#comment-25944 Humor's always somewhat hard to predict, and just the simple change in direction to make sure it's tongue-in-cheek drastically affects what would otherwise be pretty abhorrent. Although in this case, I think it's because there was actually some really strong writing and characterization backing up the less... savory portions of the show instead of letting the latter dominate. But yeah, between Penguin Girl, Macademy, and this, my track record for predicting fanservice shows isn't so great lately.

Riiiight.). But I'm very glad I did. It was 80% enjoyable, and it was very easy to see how it could have been more than that. Sento was such a welcome breath of fresh air from anime stereotypes, and reminded me of the things I've forgotten and enjoy in anime, rare though they may be. - Directness. Why is it that everyone, especially women are always so goddamn embarrased about everything? I can think of scenes in Planetes and Patlabor where the plot was made better by one interested character or -gasp- both actually expressing a brain and awareness in their crush/love interest. And sometimes not even getting them, and moving on. - Violence. Although there are times that feel really weird and even more 'What the hell Japan' then usual, Sento knew how to lay down the law. Actually, this is something I appreciated about Rosa in Umineko, but then again I've been leaving off comments for. Gonna play the game. Some day. -Entertaining. I really don't have to elaborate here at all, do I? Seriously though, an all-around good show that totally caught me out of left field. I'd watch it again/give the next season a go, although even with my tacit approval, I *STILL* can not get the fascination with piss. Author approval gone overboard, I s'pose... Thanks for throwing this one out here, otherwise I wouldn't have given it more then a disapproving glare.

What I got was the fanservice plus a great plot that kept me wanting the next episode. I'm sad this is over but I'll wish for that second season to roll around in the coming year(s). Also, on a side note, I like how you went from thinking this show would be poison in your fall preview to what -seems- to be one of your most-liked shows of the season. I know you always say to take those previews with a grain of salt but I still got a chuckle out of it. :3 I went in expecting a lot of fanservice and a plot with about the level of queens blade (that is to say, no plot).
