Asobi ni Ikuyo

Asobi ni Ikuyo! – OVA

June 19, 2011Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAsobi ni Ikuyo
Comments (0)

Asobi ni Ikuyo! was one of the very first series I blogged, and I always had a sort of odd relationship with it.  I think I said in the series review that it was “hard to love but impossible not to like” and that still seems about right. If you […] Read more

Asobi ni Ikuyo! – Series Review

September 26, 2010Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Asobi ni Ikuyo, reviews, Series Reviews
Comments (1)

Asobi ni Ikuyo! was a series that was hard to love, but impossible for me not to like. It was never guilty of taking itself too seriously (thank goodness) and presented the occasional moment of genuine inspiration, an incredibly catchy ED, and some of the best fanservice of the season. […] Read more

Asobi ni Ikuyo! – 12 (End)

September 26, 2010Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Asobi ni Ikuyo, reviews

Finale week continues, as Asobi ni Ikuyo! finished its run at 12 episodes. And what a frantic finale it was. There were basically two threads hanging as this series wrapped up – the romance thread, and the main plot concerning the crippled Catian ship. Fittingly, the latter was resolved with […] Read more

How appropriate that here, almost at the end of this series, we finally have a cat fight. And it was a good one, too – if all too brief. Aoi and Manami got into it after Manami “confessed” to clueless Kio on Aoi’s behalf – without Aoi asking her to. […] Read more

Asobi ni Ikuyo! – 10

Oh, dear – things really hit the fan in episode 10. After the wistful melancholy of episode 10, Asobi ni Ikuyo takes a Seikimatsu-like turn and gives us a non-stop action episode. Things were quite as insanely paced as the latest offering in that series, but still frenetic by this […] Read more

Asobi ni Ikuyo! – 9

September 9, 2010Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Asobi ni Ikuyo, reviews

You know, we’re nine episodes into this series and I’m really nowhere close to figuring it out. Already, we’ve been switching pretty liberally between action, extreme ecchi, harem romance and clever parody. Now this week brings us easily the deepest and most somber episode of the series, complete with an […] Read more

Asobi ni Ikuyo! – 8

August 30, 2010Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Asobi ni Ikuyo, reviews
Comments (1)

The theme of this week’s episode is the humble Yanbaru Kuina – small, almost flightless and extremely endangered. It’s apparently the most famous bird in Okimanwa, and continues this series’ progression as something of an Okinawan travelogue in addition to a very bizarre comedy. While episode 8 of Asobi no […] Read more

Asobi no Ikuyo! – 7

August 25, 2010Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Asobi ni Ikuyo, reviews
Comments (1)

I must give credit to Asobi no Ikuyo for sticking to its guns. This show has the ability for groan-inducing humor, and some of the best fanservice of any series out there. The lack of pretense is what sells it for me – it’s a series that’s very happy to […] Read more

Asobi ni Ikuyo! – 6

August 17, 2010Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Asobi ni Ikuyo, Current Anime Series, reviews
Comments (1)

It would be hard to call any episode of this show “serious”, but after the extreme silliness of the last few weeks this one qualifies. The ecchi quotient was turned down quite a bit (though not all the way) and the episode focused mostly on the relationships between the major […] Read more

Remarkably, Asobi ni Ikuyo continues to get sillier. Aoi and Manami in thong bikinis on a speedboat. Kio wearing Eris’ jumpsuit. A giant AssistDroid suit with a loli inside it. Combat maids battling dog-eared aliens in the name of a nekomimi worship cult. Yes, this is certainly odd stuff. We […] Read more
