New Anime Series- Mayo Chiki 01

First Episode Review for: Mayo Chiki!

Summary : Story of a normal Japanese boy going to school, …..wait for it…. except his mother and sister are wrestlers, he gets nosebleeds whenever a girl touches him and the girl he fancies at school turns out to be a sadist with a transvestite butler

Animation : Clear and pleasant to watch, nothing special but heads above western quality

Plot Potential: I don’t think the plot is going to be anything groundbreaking but it’s strong enough that if you are not watching for 30 seconds, you lose what’s going on, I do however think it will be funny

Characters: Not bad for a school harem anime, the butler and sadist rich girl are different enough to stand out

Music: OK, I’m not skipping over the opening/closing tunes, nor am I looking to buy them

Reminds me of: MM!

Overall: I really enjoyed this, and can’t wait for the second one, BUT it does have quite strong sexual overtones that suddenly hit about half-way though (this is a habit of anime, some of which do this kind of stuff half-way though the series, meaning the dubbing/editing people have to get creative {see the neon genesis evangelion ‘crying’ scene }, making it unsuitable for preteens.
