Ecchi Deathmatch ‘08, Round 2
FIGHT!
I see that I wasn’t the only one with this idea. Can’t seem to find the link to who else did it, but they used a buttsecks series for their third party… anyway. Resolved! it was CCY, much love and I hope you’re ok after the experience. On to round 2 of this abomination!
In the near corner, hailing from Xebec, it’s the returning champ Kanokon! This week the Wolf Girl Panty Brigade is so confident, they’re taking on a tag team. In the far corner, contender one also from Xebec, back for more abuse, it’s To Love-Ru aka Trouble — alongside newcomer from the manga of the same name, with a budget weight of the change found in Madhouse’s sofa, Kamen No Maid Guy! As always, this post is broken with a “More” link because it’s very pic-heavy and … dirty.
Bento Battle
Kanokon starts with the bathtub, but otherwise is off to a slow beginning. Seems they’re trying to curtail Trouble’s “plot” work last week. But no… it’s only a prelude to an intestine-annihilating Bento Battle. Chizuru goes as far as to cut and burn her fingers. But can this Moe Attack work for such a bold panty-flasher?
Trouble’s OP is still a force to be reckoned with: stylishly and sexfully delivered, but it’s starting to look like a red herring — there’s more T&A in the OP than there has been in the whole season. With Lala in school, though, there’s plenty of chance for an early advantage when her classmates start fondling her tits in school.
Seven minutes in, Kouta has eaten some nasty shit but the fans are out here rioting in their seats, asking: Where are the panties?
Trouble finds Rito the Bitch trying to spit out a half-assed confession to Haruno, but he fails miserably — and with nothing else planned other than dissolving clothes that barely do any dissolving, it’s time for a TAG! Kamen No Maid Guy rushes in with a creepy-ass KE-KE-KE and a tit obsession to find Naeka doing… what? Burning her own fingers! And executed with real comic timing in flashback mode! Shrimp bite and mouth foam go! Looks like the food is awful in every part of this match.
Return of the Underpants
At ten minutes a brief panty-shot and a briefer hint of violence puts Kanokon back in the game.
But if it’s violence you want, Kogarashi delivers when he takes two knitting needles to the ear all in the name of comedy. Itai! Forget the vague air of unhinged menace, Maid Guy is for the lulz!
Kanokon wants you to laugh too, and the prawn-vs-fish Kaiju battle in Kouta’s stomach might do it for you, as might the live fish and crab thrashing on his desk. But still, the fans demand more panties.
Maid Guy implies yuri with its Love Potion #9, or is it some kind of grape ecstasy punch? Girl on girl will get you everywhere, people! How will Kanokon come back from this, especially with Kogarashi’s “I’m going out now. I’ll give you an hour.”
Final Blows
Ho. Lee. Shit. I shouldn’t have asked. Chizuru strips to her drawers, rubs herself in frog oil, and humps the living hell out of Kouta. As Ezumori joins in, Kouta’s mumblings about rice cakes can’t beat “dear goldfish in heaven I’m becoming a man,” but OH NO it’s a boner! We have acknowledgment of erection! Unless you can tell me something else happened right there, Maid Guy is OUT!
Tag out for Maid Guy, and Trouble comes back with renewed strength and a weird-ass aquarium employee stripping for lulz! Lala follows suit, but she does it for sexfulness! And pretty soon it’s a naked girl riding a shark through town. Beat that for implausibility! Plus, crazed aquarium guy delivers more laughs than screen time.
Kanokon can’t beat that, and they know it. They’re trying the faux-Moe approach again, I’m not sure what the benefit is there, it’s a little on the sweet side but wha… what… what is this? THE PANTIES ARE DOWN! Oh SHIT! Smack that ass, Kouta! He is the erotic king after all! She’s a bad girl! It’s all over! Maid Guy tags back in with some more Yuri, even adding glasses to the mix, but they cut away too soon and there is nothing they can do with this situation. It’s a shame screencaps can’t moan, because Kanokon has managed to shock and horrify again.
Aftermath
Maid Guy continues to amuse me with Kogarashi’s threatening and creepy presence, but next week’s preview promises a little more of his underwear fetish. To Love-Ru continues to NOT amuse me in the least. Rito is a portrait of how anime is almost an anagram of “anemic,” as in his ability to accomplish pretty much anything. A naked woman in your bed on a daily basis should really do something for your confidence with girls by now, son. And Kanokon… what can I say? Just when you think they’re down for the count, they sock you right in the balls, so watch the fuck out. This episode wasn’t an all-out assault, but that surprise attack at the end was just too much.
And the victor, for two weeks straight, is KANOKON.
I have no idea what you’re talking about in this post. And what the hell is ‘lulz’??
well, it’s hard to get the motivation to do recaps for people who have already seen everything you’re summarizing. So… gimmicks away! Here’s the simple rundown if you didn’t actually see the shows:
Kanokon’s plot involved Chizuru and Ezumori vying for Kouta’s perverted little heart by having a bento battle, with escalating levels of nasty food. As you can see, there is also humping and spanking, because it’s Kanokon, but it’s only loosely related to the plot, which is already loose.
To Love-Ru was more of what it does best, or rather, worst — Rito and his little sister take Lala shopping, her clothes start to dissolve because, that’s just how things work, and they end up with Haruna in their group. Rito can’t tell his feelings to Haruna because he’s a little bitch, and some crazy aquarium employee convinces Lala to get nude and swim around with sharks, which she does.
In Kamen No Maid Guy, Naeka gets a love letter, and flashes back to her first real crush. She nearly killed a guy with her fried shrimp, so Fubuki teaches her how to cook. The love letter, turns out, was from a girl. Kogarashi creates a trapdoor into a pink hotel room sorta love-nest, and traps Naeka in there with the girl, who presumably sexes her.
That’s me, wishing that I had picked Kamen no Maid Guy instead of Junjou Romantica.
Thrilling play-by-play color commentary yet again. I think somehow you have made a male-orientated fanservice show even more appealing to guys by adding pro-fighting style yelling and screaming, except instead of shouting “Give him the chair!” the fans shout “Give him the panties!”
So would you say KnMG is actually a show worth watching for stuff other than fanservice, then? It’s the only one of the trio I haven’t tried.
rad, thanks! I knew it was somebody I read, but I went through my feed reader and couldn’t find it for some reason.
As for Maid Guy, I think it’s pretty funny actually. Kogarashi is bizarre as hell.
No contest. Kanokon beats everything else hands down this season, and I can’t actually see the results changing.
