First Impression: Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatteiru

For some reason I believe there will be traps in this show. Don't even ask me how the fuck did I get that idea because I don't even know. It all came to mind when I saw the synopsis when I wrote the preview. However, the thoughts of traps kind of make me excited to check this show out so here hoping that there will be traps, regardless.

Ah shit, no traps.

Ah shit, halfway through the episode I was bored as fuck so I decided to stop watching. I don't care about Yui either.

This show is about "curing" Hikigaya, who is an anti-social. He was forced to join the "service club" where Yuki is the one giving the service to better the humanity and change the world. She's blessed but has become victim of jealousy so she's pretty much a loner now. I don't buy that crap even for a second. I just think she's ungrateful.

But on different note, Yui is cute and I hope she ends up with Hikigaya. Ah crap, I already have an OTP for this show >_>

Anyway, regardless, this show brought up some interesting issue. Why do people feel the need to change other people just so they conform to your belief of what is acceptable by society? By wanting a person to change, s/he is no longer him/herself. Isn't that messed up? Some people, no matter how weird they are, are comfortable in their own skin. They don't need to be saved. So before you wave your finger pointing at them, asked yourself if you're comfortable in your own skin. Is it you who need saving?

I might saving this for later days. At the moment, it is just not something that I want to watch.

First Impression: Sekaiichi Hatsukoi

The only yaoi/BL show of the season (I'm not including Sex Pistol because it's an OVA) so naturally it was compulsory for me to watch it. The animation for this one definitely reminds me of Junjou Romantica, quite possibly the worst yaoi show I have ever watched.


Ritsu Onodera knew and acknowledge himself as gay even when he's in high school. In fact he was quite a stalker. This lifestyle of his lasted until he's an adult. From what little flashback that they show, he was quite a player.

He worked at his family's publishing house but when he heard his co-worker thought that he's using his connection, he quit to prove himself that he can be successful with his own effort. He was then assigned to the shoujo department and met the Editor-in-Chief who is quite an asshole (duh). He's good at what he do though so that's how he earns Ritsu's respect (and eventually his ass as well). And as I have expected, Takano is actually the same guy that Ritsu confessed his love at the start of the episode. Only in yaoi XD

The good thing about this show is, it doesn't feel rushed. Other yaoi (like Junjou), the protagonists can't seem to wait to get into each other buttholes. Sekaiichi Hatsukoi takes it time marinating that part until it's totally appropriate and/or reaches it peak. The kissing part was totally unexpected (on Ritsu's part that is) and it makes me chuckled because it didn't lace with fake feelings.


I got to say that I really enjoy Ritsu's monologue. I found it entertaining because most of the time, it turns out funneh. He's witty. Also, since they work in a shoujo department, I get to learn some the process of creating a successful manga (even though I don't read shoujo). At least I'm not totally clueless as why the pages sometimes so white and sparkly...

I'm not familiar with Takashi Kondo but since Ritsu sounds so sexy sometimes, I have no choice but acknowledge that he is good at what he does. The other seiyuus are quite a line-up (Katsuyuki Konishi makes Takano came to live) but their characters are yet to be introduced. It just something that makes me look forward to the next episode.

The OP is shit though and thankfully the ED kinda better (but not really). I'll skip both of them the next time I watch this show.

Enjoyable? Fuck yes if you love yaoi.
