Im not a big fan of the New ecchi genre. Wow what a way to open up this review. The New Ecchi genre is out there, in your face and some are borderline porn. Some anime that fall into this are kiss Xsis, High school of the dead. High school DXD and all of To Love Ru series. Im more of a fan of the old school ecchi genre. the occasional panty flash, you get the perv guy groping and the girl slapping, the girl changing into her bra and panties shot and the occasional Hot spring episode that doesn’t turn into a freaking orgy.
Anyway back on topic. Walkure romanze. I wasn’t going to give it a chance because i already knew that this fell into the “New” ecchi genre and that will be a few episode in before guy end up in a harem and girls will be trying to fuck set guy and their will be blurred out breast and crouches every where and i really don’t have the time for it however, Me watching at least one episode of every series of the fall season before i decide what i will and will not watch (sometimes i already know just on cover art alone what im not going to watch) i decided to watch it because the main character Mio reminded me of Utena if Utena was set in a parallel universe and the majority of the main cast consist of noting but girl and one guy and the plot instead of it being about dueling it was about jousting instead.
Seriously who ever made the main character had to had been inspired by Utena in some shape or form because not only does the cover art of mio looks like Utena from Adolescence of Utena but in the anime Mio looks like Utena from the fucking show and she basically has the same outfit but instead of wearing a pare of shorts she wears a skirt
While watching Walkure romanze i knew there were going to be ecchi moments and there were a few but to my surprise the visual ecchi moment were very subtle and of that of the old ecchi style. However the pure full on ecchi moment for this anime came in the form of ‘DOUBLE SEXUAL INNUENDOS” OMG well let take a look at this:
(actally happen in episode 2)
No he was just telling you he has a massive Cock! Anyway will i keep watching this show that is the real question. For what it is worth it does has a decent plot about Jousting something i know nothing about and it seem interesting but will be watching this show? I will but a few episode here a few episode there. This isn’t a show that i say to myself “OMG IF I MISS THIS EPISODE IM GOING TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH HEARING ABOUT IT ON ____” or “OMG IF I MISS THIS WEEKS EPISODE I WILL NEVER KNOW WHAT HAPPENS TO ____” because it follows the standard ecchi format Guy meet girl-guy has somewhat of a interest in girl-guy get involved in a harem somehow-guy get girl. I know im really not missing much if this show follows the same format.
SHE IS FUCKING UTENA JUST FROM THE TV SHOW HAD SHE HAVE ON THE FUCKING WHITE UNIFORM FROM THE MOVIE THEN YOU GUYS WILL AGREE TOO. NOBODY CAN’T TELL ME THAT WHOEVER MADE MIO DID NOT GET INSPIRED FROM UTENA!!
