Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate 2

Oojima isn't too happy to have a student council president candidacy dumped on him and pushes back against the decision. However, a few fateful encounters start to change his mind.

KSC is a little too run of the mill and slow for my taste. It is hovering between dating sim predecessors KimiKiss and Amagami SS and something with a bit of a more in depth back story. But without being one or the other, it feels flat. And if I find myself skipping large chunks of a show this early on (read: all of Ookjima's speech), that's a bad sign.

Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate 1

The first episode of KSC is a bit busy and none too informative. A number of basic plotlines emerge: a club president with some tragic past, the looming shutdown of the main characters' club, mysterious dirty dealings that result in a young girl being badly injured, and as harem a setting as you would expect from an eroge adaptation.

But the mix of serious and silly stories makes for a weird experience. Everything seems so lighthearted that its hard to see this as anything but a romance/school life show that is going to try and do too much. Albeit, it was hard to know exactly where this all is going to go from just this first ep.

Positives? Morishita. Seriously. she's like Nagato Yuki minus superpowers, plus cat ear-esque hair. Win. The art and character design is similar to Amagami SS, which is a plus. And the yaoi jokes are kind of funny.
