Summer Season 2010 Pt. 2

Here are some more shows I've watched so far. Just a reminder these are total snap judgments based only on the first episode.

Nurarihyon No Mago:
The story revolves around Rikuo, a kid who looks like a slightly older Negi. He is the grandson of the "Demon King" and next in line for the throne, which he doesn't want. Him and his friends from school go looking around a haunted house which is apparently is crawling with demons and tries to hide them from his human buddies.

What I expected: Bishi Time
What I Got:
Monster slapstick
The Good:
I could easily see this coming to cartoon network.
The Bad:
The comedy is pretty meh.
The Ugly:
When he's in "bishi-mode" his long hair sticks straight back, but when he's leaning against something it goes left or right to avoid smushing against the wall.
Will I Keep Watching: If I have time.


Seitokai Yakuindomo:
Takatoshi starts in a high school that has just gone from being an all-girl school to coed. He immediately is inducted into the student council for no other reason than they need a male opinion in meetings. The rest of the show is "slice of life" slapstick and dirty jokes.

What I expected: random harem
What I Got:
Seriously dirty, funny jokes
The Good:
It tries to be funny and outrageous and it succeeds.
The Bad:
The characters aren't particularly memorable.
The Ugly:
If you don't like sex jokes stay away.
Will I Keep Watching: Yep.

Ookamisan to Shichinin no Nakamatachi:
At a fantasy high school in a fantasy world there is a club that will take on any job in return for a "favor" in the future. The story is mainly about Taiga...er...Ryouko, who looks and acts like a grown up Taiga from Toradora. She fights baddies with boxing gloves that look like cats called, "Neko Neko Knuckles" and is stalked by some super shy guy who is in love with her.

What I expected: Didn't care, I just wanted Taiga back
What I Got:
Maybe the back action/comedy of the season.
The Good:
Fun to watch, well rounded.
The Bad:
The show doesn't make a whole hell of a lot of sense.
The Ugly:
Can someone shut the "granny narrator" up?!
Will I Keep Watching: You Betcha!

Mitsudomoe:
The story of three sisters in class who drive their teacher insane. Dirty jokes and slapstick ensue.
'Nuff said.

What I expected:
Minami-Ke with lolis
What I Got:
Dirty jokes and lolis
The Good:
It's kind of funny sometimes
The Bad:
could end up being a slippery slope to a lolicon show real quick.
The Ugly:
The character design reminds me of "The Chipettes" from "Alvin and the Chipmunks".
Will I Keep Watching: I'll give a couple more episodes.
