First Impression: Campione!

Magical shit and harem loves comedy are two things that I am not really fond of so from the beginning I have this notion that this show is either gonna makes me rage, or it will makes me rage. I hope by the end of this first episode, it will present a third option for me. I don't have to like it, but it has to be tolerable at least.

Campione! is about Godou who went to Italy to deliver a stone tablet which turned out to be a grimoire. He met Erica, a magical girl and immediately after that was attacked by heretic god who looks like a wild boar. 48 hours later, Godou became the 6th (or was it 7th - I wasn't paying attention) lord of the world, since obviously he helped at defeating the said God.

It was all too lame for me to even consider watching this shit.

The art and animation was borderline average. I don't give a damn about the seiyuu since they failed to grab my attention the first time around and so I ended up raging to this show just like I have predicted.

I dropped it after 8 minutes in.

First Impression: Astarotte's Toy

Isn't this known as the Lotte's Toy in the preview? I think it is and as far as I know, this show is about semen. Yes, that shit that male ejaculates whenever they are excited. I wasn't planning on watching this but I feel like I have to give at least one episode a go before I shunt it away completely. I just feel sorry for Glo though because he has no choice but to watch this because Rie Kugumiya is in it.

He is more or less me when it comes to Sugita.


Astarotte is the princess of some shitty faraway land where physical appearance is very important. She is a succubus. In order to remain young and beautiful (and staying alive) the people of that land have to consume life-seed semen. This wasn't really that surprising since it was a known fact. What surprising is the fact that Japan blatantly explore this subject and make it as the plot for a subpar anime. What happened to the moral and ethic of a person? No wonder people/parent are getting anxious and have bad perception on anime nowadays to the point that some place has banned it. It is a sad situation because people naturally remember shit like this but have no knowledge of excellent anime like Hanasaku Iroha, Honey and Clover, Mononoke, etc.

But anyway, Astarotte hates men and told Judit that she will only suck semen from a human which is scarce in that faraway land of hers. Little did she know that Judit will do whatever for her to have her harem. Lucky slut.

The toy referred to in the title is none other than the male protagonist in this show. His name is Naoya. Sounds like it belong to a pussy isn't it? He was called a toy because he should be the one providing Astarotte with the semen *insert roll eyes*. But of course, like most harem shit, he will pretend that he is not interested when a young healthy girl wants to give him a fucking blowjob.

To be honest, I'm getting sick of seeing Rie playing the same old kind of characters over and over again. In fact, her characters are getting on my nerves. Try something else Rie, why don't you. Do more Kagura. As for the other character, I like Judit a lot. She might be into S&M which is fine by me. She should be the main character. Then it would be funneh. Also, why don't they pick a guy to be Naoya's seiyuu. He already looks like a pussy, he doesn't have to sound like one too! *facepalm*

why Judit is great

Overall it wasn't bad but it wasn't good either. The art and animation were average at best, something that we have come to expect from subpar anime. This has potential to piss me off in the future so maybe this could be the last time I'm watching this unless someone can convinced me otherwise.

First Impression: Shinryaku! Ika Musume

Shinryaku! Ika Musume is pretty straight forward with the title. The story is supposed to be just that: a squid girl invading the land and punish the humans for polluting the sea. It was a noble idea but obviously her plan will see a few hitches. She started the invasion at a small restaurant at the sea side but as expected no one takes her seriously. Somehow, instead of invading, she was being recruited as one of the workers there.

Ika Musume has 10 tentacles. They are the pride of her power since they can do many things and move any where she desired which of course is a very useful power to have as a waiter. It was because of her tentacles too that she managed to recruit a subordinate, a young boy who gets fascinated by the tentacles to the point of masochist.

I must be getting soft but I found Takeru and Ika Musume extremely cute when he tried to emulate the squid. The scene was kinda necessary I think to show us that Ika Musume is nothing but a simpleton creature living in the sea. She even help selling squid-ink spaghetti to their customers.


Hmm, I have basically describe Ika Musume as a character there. Next is Eiko, the second sister from that LEMON restaurant. She kinda forgettable. Chizuru on the other hand is awesome. She's the big sister and despite her gentle manner, she's a fucking bad ass. She only opens her eyes when she wants to threatens people. Last but not least is Takeru, the younger brother who I mentioned as a masochist before. The characters line-up aren't incredible but they'll probably make this work somehow.

At first I thought the OP has the potential to give me headache. I also thought I will probably end up disliking Ika-Musume because of her voice. But then I change my opinion after the first few minute. Hisako Kanemoto does a great job with the slang and it wasn't too sugary and sweet. But I still don't like the OP though. As for the ED, nothing spectacular, a boring ballad that kinda fits perfectly with the show. I also paid way too much attention to the sound the tentacles made when they are being used, squishy squishy squishy ^_^"

This is the first time I have heard of Diomedea studio. I think they did a good job with the overall art and animation for this anime. Ika Musume in particular reminds me of Nagi from Kannagi. Maybe it's because of the hair color.

So did I enjoy the episode? Well somehow I did but this one is forgettable. Nothing really stands out. I found it is regrettable that they kinda forgot about the environmental awareness towards the end. It only last like the first minute of the anime? They should take the matter more seriously, imo.
