Overview: (DVD
Back)
Once upon
a time, there was one very unlucky young man. No job, no girlfriend, not
to mention losing his wallet and bumping into a road sign. But no matter
how unlucky he might be, he never lost his love for animals. He has a soft
spot for all animals and remembers every single pet he had in his childhood.
One day, just
after failing a job interview, a street fortuneteller informs him his luck
will change. After being accustomed to his unlucky life, he doesn’t believe
a word she says. But soon enough, he finds out she was right! What single
guy would object to having three pretty girls in his room unexpectedly! |
Review:
First Bandai sends the anime club Galaxy Angel, now this. I swear,
I see one more "harem" anime I .....*arrgh*. Bandai has Gundam, yet they
release this crap first. This anime is like a bad mix on Love Hina
and Oh My Goddess, both very good animes. Thank goodness, I watched
this in a club viewing so that we could MST it.
So each of these "angels" is a former pet of this guy by the fourth
episode there is eight of 'em, and it looks like there may be more, at
what point does his pet tamagotchi come back? All of these girls
come out of his cell phone, I have got to say, if girls are coming out
of your cell phone, consider changing carriers. I'd hate to see his
phone bill, I bet they are coming during peak hours.
Sarcasm aside, this is a bad anime, sure the girls are cute, but that's
about it, the most character depth we get is the fears each one of
them had from their last life. The male character is basically Keitaro
from Love Hina with bad luck, Love Hina had slap stick. This is like I
Dream of Jeanie, but with more other them.
Basically, this anime is targeted to probably the lowest common denominator
of anime fans with out being hentai. It has few cute moments, but they
are not worth sitting through the rest of it. Anime needs another
show about many girls fawning over the same guy like I need a hole in the
head. Tenchi, El Hazzard, and Love Hina had variety and
complex relationships. Even the strange guy who wants to kill this guy
or some of the angels seems dull. |
