If you watch anime because you want to secretly be the protagonist and have all these beautiful girls at school covet you, sleep in your bed, let you touch their tits, giggle when you lift their skirts and get all blushing and innocent even though you have the intentions of a registered sex offender... get a life. I'm sick of stumbling on a harem anime when I was hoping for something with substance.
Also, this anime managed to screw the cliche pooch harder than any in recent memory.
There's the everyguy, shy and reserved Tomo. He has a ghost girl, Misao, following him around. He has already met her in the first episode, so we're instead treated to vague flashbacks as to why the hell this is so. The only role Misao seems to have is that if you're a ghost, and suspended in the air, people are going to see your translucent butt.
Tomo also has a weird shepherd's crook dredlock hanging down from his head, so you wind up staring at it as if it's some terrible sore/tumor that's seeping blood and pus.
What puzzles me is how blurbs always refer to the protagonist as "everyday." If you're an everyday high school boy you pop zits and masturbate all of the time. Miko, gun-wielding demons, yakuza, and douchy "holy order" types don't go kicking in the doors and smashing the windows of the luxury home you live in by yourself with a ghost girl.
So that's the premise. "Everyday" boy has a ghost girl and is heir to a secret briefcase that contains a giant robot thing that everyone wants. He goes to a school where everyone dresses like Nazis who have accidentally bleached their arm bands.
The flat characters from his double life conveniently show up at his school--because the evil types in the world don't hang out in political offices, army bases, etc. They prefer high schools, and the many beautiful moe-type girls he knows also show up and are more than willing to let him have his way with them. But he doesn't. Because that's exactly what an "everyday" high school boy would do, right.
The first two eps have essentially set forth such a ludicrious premise that world destruction, the briefcase, moe demon chicks, and the various goons of the yakuza and holy order are linked. And Tomo (with his mysterious "brother" who remains unseen) is at the centre of all of this.
Gee, where shall this go?
Unless I drop this, I'll update in mid-season.
