Well this anime season is shaping up to be somewhat interesting
thanks to Ore no Kanojo to Osananajimi ga
Shuraba Sugiru and Maoyuu Maou Yuusha.
Both are laid back dramas that rely on the characters to put on a show. So have
they started out of the gates in first or are they already trailing in the back
of the pack?
Well let’s start by talking about Ore no Kanojo to Osananajimi ga Shuraba Sugiru. It’s a harem
revolving around the…idk the nice and average Eita? He is kind of a bland male lead but he seems like a honest and good person. We already talked about what
happened in episodes one and two (Masuzu asks out Eita and uses a book Eita misplaced
as collateral against his will so that people will stop bothering her) so what
happened in the third? Well in typical anime fashion some tears were shed and
some emotions went a little too far over the top (not Sword Art Online over the top but pretty close). In Masuzu’s quest
to make Chiwa (who is adorable btw) the most popular girl in the school, she
and Eita accidently trample all over Chiwa’s feelings causing her to get very
emotional by the end of the episode. Masuzu’s plan consisted of trying to make
Chiwa noticed by one of the boys in Eita’s class. The plan succeeds and she is
asked out by said boy but in reality Chiwa wanted the plan to fail. It has
become very obvious that Chiwa has no intentions of letting her feelings
towards Eita disappear as she is being misinterpreted (oh anime male leads when
will you ever not be so oblivious to a young maiden’s heart?). Other than that
however nothing else really happened in the episode. There was a scene
involving Masuzu showing some skin to Eita during a conversation between Masuzu
and Chiwa that was interesting to watch. It showed that Masuzu may not have the
social mannerisms as say a normal girl her age. Overall the episode was
enjoyable to watch; cannot wait for the next one to air.
I have to say that I am ashamed that I did not notice the
similarities between Maoyuu Maou Yuusha
and one of my favorites Spice and Wolf.
Both series revolve around a mystical female and involves trade and economic like
characteristics. Both shows even have the same feel and pacing; it’s a very
striking resemblance. So what happened in episode three? Well time has skipped
ahead as the Demon King’s harvesting plan has proven to be a success. The
episode also brings up that in the past so amount of time the relationship
between the Demon King and the Hero has not improved (errrr progressed). They
both end up taking a trip to a church in order to show off one of the Demon
King’s food ideas. While there, they meet one of the Hero’s old companions, the
female Knight. She informs the Hero that after he went missing, the female
Magician went on a search in the demon’s country. After hearing about this
information, the Hero leaves to find the Magician. We also see a scene where a large trading company is planning something against the Demon King. She sent the company an invention (a compass) and they rather not have to pay any royalties to the inventor. So yeah not a lot happened
in this episode but it was still enjoyable to watch. Hopefully everything keeps
going according to the Demon King’s plan.
Overall these two shows are very enjoyable (especially Ore no Kanojo to Osananajimi ga Shuraba
Sugiru). I wish there was a good looking serious anime this season but I
cannot complain too much since there are a couple good slice of life dramas.
