Would anyone happen to know where I can find Atsushi Ootsuki at this hour of the day? I’ve got a bit of a bone to pick with him.
#Kanokon ova gif series
If it had instead captured the core elements of the series that made it fun to watch, it could have been a success, but instead it is a boring and trite failure.įiled under: Anime, Atsushi Ootsuki, Kanokon, Manatsu no Daishanikusai | Tags: Asahina, Atsushi Ootsuki, Chizuru Minamoto, Kanokon, Manatsu no Daishanikusai, Nozomu, OAV, Tayura, U3B, UltraEternalBlackout WARNING: SPOILER SHITSTORM INBOUND. I think it’s nice to be introspective sometimes, because it lets you really recognize the show at it’s barest level and perhaps come to appreciate exactly what it is that you like about the series… but Kanokon’s OVA is not successful as a ‘slow summer day’ episode because it just isn’t Kanokon. Kyoto Animation is the master of them, having had ones in Haruhi and in the K-On! OVA (sans summer for winter), and even in those good ones, there are still people who will say that they are worthless, reasonably.
I’ve seen plenty of these ‘slow summer day’ episodes of anime. I think I get what this OVA was supposed to be. It would be so much more fulfilling to just watch the series over again, and have just as much fap-worthy material along with your fun plot and characters. There was enough fanservice in the main Kanokon series, there’s no point to rehashing it for another hour in an OVA with no substance. It’s like a cold and calculated attempt to throw out fanservice and cash in on the series’ success. Some episodes had fights, some had warm messages of togetherness, and some had some genuinely hilarious comedy. However, there is also plot, and comedy, and other things to keep things interesting. I’ve made a case for Strike Witches before wherein I stated that while the fanservice is ever-present, it doesn’t get in the way of the show’s plot at all, so the fault of being distracted is more on the viewer (same can be said of Queen’s Blade.) This is not true for Kanokon – there really is time taken out of the episodes for fanservice. I’m also not going to say that the fanservice wasn’t something that the series spent a lot of time on. Now, I’m not trying to say that the series was a shining example of substance. I have a hard time seeing this as the same character who is fun to watch in the series.
He acts like he doesn’t love her, like he isn’t a pervert, but some kind of prude. In the OVA, Kouta outright denies Chizuru’s sexual advances. He doesn’t really resist her (even in the first episode he explains to the class rep that ‘it’s not like I don’t enjoy it.’) That’s what makes Kouta fun – he’s trying his hardest to not be seen as a pervert, but he IS a pervert, as all men are, so he can’t help but be drawn in (to Chizuru’s tits). When he tells her ‘no’, it’s in the ‘no means yes’ way that Japanese women always use in bed. In the series, it’s rather obvious that Kouta really wants to bone Chizuru.
The characters deal immediately with the fact that the way they behave is not accepted in their surroundings, but they are in love enough not to care. What I love about Kanokon is that the series is very sexually ‘open’. I find it rather surprising that the same director and writer of the series produced the OVA, because I honestly feel like they didn’t even understand the core series. The Kanokon OVA is one of those rare additions to a series that doesn’t just suck, but actually tarnishes the source material in a way. 11 years agoįiled under: Anime, Kanokon, Manatsu no Daishanikusai | Tags: Anime, Kanokon, Manatsu no Daishanikusai, OVA I know, UltraEternalBlackout did a post about it sucking on this site already, but the post comes with a massive grain of salt when you look at how seriously UEB takes Kanokon as a whole, and how hyper-active this post is.
