Ore Monogatari – 24 (End) and Series Review

That was an ending that highlighted both this series’ charm, and its limitations. I really don’t think there’s any other way Ore Monogatari could have ended, or perhaps even should have ended.  So I’m not disappointed with this finale in any significant way.  But at the same time, you can’t […] Read more

You knew it had to be coming sooner or later… Here’s my basic feeling after this episode of Ore Monogatari.  It was inevitable that we get an episode focused on a love rival for Takeo sooner or later. It was an episode built around the least interesting relationship amongst the […] Read more

In every sense of the term, I think it’s better this way. It’s funny how even when he’s the center of attention, Suna is never really the center of attention.  This is his moment – after twenty episodes of buildup, the long-awaited exploration of what’s in Suna’s heart.  But the […] Read more

Well, that was definitely worth the wait. After 20 episodes of build-up, the moment has finally come.  Happily, Ore Monogatari wasn’t trolling us, and we really did get an episode about Suna’s heart (I had a nagging fear right up to the end that we were being teased and tortured).  […] Read more

What an odd little charmer this show is. OK, first things first – has the nameplate at Takeo’s apartment always said “Gouda!!”, or was that a one-time gag this week? I’m very often surprised by Ore Monogatari, because for all that it’s a conventional love story on the surface, it […] Read more

Anytime this series goes to the hospital, that’s an episode you don’t want to miss. It’s no secret that Ore Monogatari!! is at its best when it’s bittersweet, because the rest of the time it’s merely sweet.  I love desserts, but any dish that can offer complexity and subtlety of […] Read more

My God, the cheesecake was the least sweet thing in that episode. We’re long past the point of complaining about the warm and fuzziness of Takeo and Rinko’s relationship – it is what it is.  This is not my favorite sort of theme to be honest, but the flipside of […] Read more

Japan sure has some dumb urban legends. Well, there’s another character paired off that isn’t the one we (I at the very least) want to see paired off.  Two of them (well – that’s a pair) in fact – Kurihara Osamu and Yamazaki Nanako.  I’ve tended to like the episodes […] Read more

This is one series where the title is kind of deceptive. It’s happening again.  I can’t help but find the supporting cast in Ore Monogatari more interesting than the main couple.  It’s not their fault, either – I like Takeo and Rinko just fine.  But there’s just not much drama […] Read more

OK, this is a turn I didn’t see coming. I’ll admit that when this episode was in its early stages, I thought it was going to be an amusing one-off – entertaining, but not really critical to the long-term plot.  Boy, was I ever wrong, as the B-part proved – […] Read more
