Tonagura!

Tonagura! is basically an ecchi anime. There are a lot of fanservice and the requisite male character who always finds himself being slapped, kicked, and hit because of his perverted ways.

I like the premise of the story because it deals with a childhood friend and crush who the female character meets again. Trouble is - the person Kazuki remembers from her childhood is not the same as the one she is seeing now. But as the series progresses, you might become annoyed with Kazuki for her continuous (and sometimes unfair) abuse for Yuuji - who is just probably just a little bit more perverted than boys his age.

One of the more interesting characters who shine in this anime is Kazuki's older sister who is perfect - her evil, sadistic ways notwithstanding. She cosplays a lot - depending on the menu. But my favorite character would have to be the teddy bear gun-toting Marie, the younger sister of Yuuji, who deals out 'divine punishment' whenever her brother gets too perverted (which is most of the time).

It's not really the best out there, but it could get you a few laughs and give you your fill of ecchi-ness if you're looking for one. read more

This anime being a simple childhood love story, is pretty good. It can be great but it lacks some important things in the creativity department. This is not a "must-watch", but it's also not a "not-watch"

Tonagura starts out well. A girl's fantasy that went wrong and then the funniness begins. It has good comedy, enough to make you laugh sometimes and it has a bit of drama too. Good, satisfactory story.

The art is the main problem here. It wasn't consistently good. Everything looked fine, but just fine and nothing past that. I'm most disappointed by the hairstyles. Most characters don't look very good because of that. The violence lacks creativity too. The first two punches are funny, then it begins to loose its magic, but it regains a little afterwards. It's a zigzag of improvement and disappointment. Anyway, all is fair. The art isn't that bad. Only some characters and some animation punchlines were made disappointing.

Sounds are okay. Just at the okay limit, nothing to be impressed about and nothing to be depressed about either.

The characters give hope to the show and somehow saves it from completely failing. The main boy, Yuuji, is the one that keeps the show good and funny. Supporting characters, Marie her sister, and Hatsune-neechan are there for backup when Yuuji starts to become boring. The other characters are just for story completion.

Tonagura is enjoyable, but not so much. Watch it incase you run out of comedy titles.
