kano review
"Kare Kano, or Kareshi Kanojo no Jijo
(His and Her Circumstances) to give it it's full
title is proper shoujo. And I don't do that stort
of stuff... right?
I mean, there's no mystical curses in Kare
Kano; no futuristic or fantasy setting; no unrealism;
there aren't even any magical girls or comedy
(there's a few laughs, but it's not played for
laughs, if you see what I mean). No, Kare Kano
is a proper romance with real people in real situations,
experiencing real emotions and going through real
character development.
Or not. Ish. You know how all those Richard
Curtiss rom-coms are in one sense real, but also
in many sense unreal. They're often about foppish,
upper-class twats and a sort of polished, shiny
version of reality, rather than real, gritty,
hole-in-your-shoe-letting-the-rain-in type reality."

| po-po-tan
review
"Po-Po-Tan was adapted from an ecchi
game, which again strongly suggests more of a
plot would have had to be infused into the anime.
What I'm building up to in this lengthy pre-amble
is that what the anime makers seem to have tried
to do with the Po-Po-Tan is give it a strong storyline,
but also maintain the ecchi element too. Or, to
put it another way, they tried to have their cake
and eat it.
Unfortunately for them, it seems that this
particular cake, instead of being of the delicious
double chocolate variety instead turned out to
be part chocolate and part fried egg. Or, to unscramble
the similes, they've taken two things that are
quite nice on their own, and put them together
to form an unpalatable mess."
