Okami-san and her seven companions


I just finished watching this anime today, and i can sincerely tell you all that i really enjoyed it.

One of the things i love about this anime is the narrator, who occasionally pokes fun at the characters thus providing a comedic relief. I think this is one of the factors that makes this anime enjoyable.

I also like the fact that one of the main characters Ryoshi, grows stronger after going through many difficult trials with the people from Otogi bank. I don't really like to see characters abnormally strong or talented right of the bat because it just kills the effectiveness of the story.

Another great thing about this anime is how deeply the character's past has affected them and made them who they are today. I loved the part when they showed Ryouko's past, it was thrilling yet made me pity her.

Overall this is a good anime. While being mostly comedy, there are some darker undertones to this anime. For example, the delinquent leader said that he was about to have some 'fun' with the main character and the fact that Ryouko's ex boyfriend had attempted to rape her.

Though it is not really visible, it is still there nevertheless. It has a significant role in the story though because it makes the story more serious and heart pounding.

Stare.....
Plot: The ending was quite weak and left me hanging. It didn't address the main issues. 7/10

Character: Quite well developed, but there were too many secondary characters which didn't do anything for the plot although they did help out the main characters. 7/10

Graphics: Pretty good 7/10

Music: I quite like the opening, but the ending didn't really rub me the right way.7/10

Like the saying goes "If you get hooked after the first episode, then you know its a good anime." i think this really applies to this. It wasn't exactly so interesting that i would go gaga over it but it held on my interest until the very end.

It was pretty good compared to others yet it didn't leave me satisfied. Probably because of the rather disappointing ending. But i was quite happy to see the two main characters relationship grow deeper as the ending went along.

Well after watching half of the 12 episodes this series had to offer my thoughts were this: Those characters will never, ever, EVER kiss. I have to admit that i'm a hardcore romance fan and watched many romance animes' and thus came to this conclusion.

But the romance wasn't that bad compared to other romance series where it seemed to be like an endless wild goose chase. Kekeke i hope it gets a second season soon. Doesn't seem likely though.
