ぼくはともだちblah blah Episode 1

The title came just before this. But it was on her thigh. Kinda awkward.

There is some very wtf ecchi in the OP, but I am going to act like I didn't see it and will move one. The art styling is similar to Denpa Onna (UBER moe). In fact, the story is kinda similar. Hasegawa is even a transfer student.

Haruhi?

The plot unfolds predictably enough in the first episode. The two loners meet up. They both are asking the same basic question: how do you make friends? Then they pull a Haruhi and make up their own club. And then the pretty girl joins and they have a boobs debate that sounds really familiar (*cough* C3 *cough*) and the two girls carry on at each other's throats (it's all so very tsundere) like Kirino and Kuroneko.

Ohmygeesh.

Kodaka, buddy, this is why you should be wary of cute girls. you suddenly find yousefl doing something stupid because you were too busy fantasizing to remember to say "no". Then you are in a club where crazy is all over the place.

You don't say.

The show doesn't look like it will be bad. It just is average. And it happens to be average at things i don't really like to begin with: school life moe harems. However, if these are your cup of tea, then consider it served.

  1. Did you see the episode 0 too? It had a 4:30 second playing-it-straight harem scene that was groan inducing and almost unwatchable. After that for about two or three minutes it was somewhat entertaining and probably the most enjoyable scene from either episode so far, then it went to some horrible credits.

    Just to clarify, I wouldn't recommend watching episode 0 if you haven't, I just wanted to check.
