Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (4/25 eps)
I've never seen an anime get so many high ratings for reviews, while I think it's pretty crappy. I saw this anime in the January 2011 copy of the Japanese Newtype, and thought it seemed interesting enough so I decided to watch it. I liked how the characters looked, and it seemed vaguely interesting, but my high hopes were soon shot down. I don't know if I am missing the pure genius of this anime, or if I just see past all the jiggling boobs and girls who want to tap everything, and see the series for the pile of nonsense it is. SPOILERS, KINDA SORTA, DOWN THERE VVVV.

The series had a good start, but after seeing a scene where maids randomly had cat ears and 4 foot bunny ears on, I grew worried of the fate of this series in my eyes. Yada yada, school stuff, yada yada. "DON'T GO TO THE OLD GOLD MINE KIDS" -cut scene to gold mine with girl in her discount sexy time outfit- . Why they decided to buy out a circus and Mardi Gras surplus store, and make the girls dress like they are at a S&M club is beyond me. I just can't really take characters seriously if they are looking like a jester reject while wearing a cheesy gold mask with a beak. Just the whole lair in the gold mine thing just baffles me, everything about it. It just seems so stupid to me. Every time they'd have one of their evil group meetings, I'd be forced to wait through 4 minutes of all the girls re-crossing their legs 40 times, and shots of their legs and garters. God forbid we see their faces. There also sometimes would be random cheering or booing from what I will assume are 100 fat old hairy men lurking in the shadows, since They never really show any of the other members.

In the first 2 episodes, they decided to reuse several scenes like 5 times, and made jokes about 4 times of how wacko, oh i mean Wako is always hungry. There is also really awkward staring scenes between our hero GALACTIC PRETTY BOY and Wako, and throughout the next 4 episodes they try to show that the two are crushing on each other (uh, hello, you already made that clear in the first episode). I thought the mecha stuff was pretty cool, but in the course of 2 episodes having the same type of fights, and the same ending was kind of over kill I think. I'M GOING TO WIN, GRRRRR. -gets destroyed after a few seconds- OH NOO, -stumbles out- FIRST THINGS FIRST, WE ARE TAKING YOUR LITTLE BADGE THING, GET OUT OF HERE AND GO WORK OUT IN YOUR DARK ROOM, YOU AREN'T IN OUR CLUB ANYMORE. Also, what was the point of kidnapping Wako in the first place, if she magically appears in her little bubble thing whenever a fight is going to occur while she is doing random things. Let's just pray that she isn't taking a dump one day, and she is force bubbled into a fight scene. At only 4 episodes in, they don't really explain what all this maiden and mecha stuff is very much. Why do these things even exist? How do only certain people have the power to control them, and why do they have to use those ugly masks?

Oh, and apparently every time someone is about to fight, the random fish girl in the cage has to start singing. After 3 or 4 times of this, I had enough. I have no idea who this fish girl is, or why she is in a cage or anything. All she does is just play with a chain, and tell really boring stories to some guy that uses way too much hair gel and just rolls around on some couch.

Me being a girl, and not a lesbian, the naked scenes, boob jiggling, random make out scenes, and panty shots didn't really win me over. Apparently to be in the villain club and a girl, you need to show everyone you are horny, and either make out with people, try to rape them, or be about to kiss them. Apparently the thing to do is to kiss through glass. A moment that made me "wut" was when the stacked green hair girl starts regaling the class (while the teacher is talking) about how she is married to some 65 year old and how she gets "lonely" at night. Who does this. No on in real life for sure. She also decides to get a hair cut (it doesn't look different) in the middle of the classroom during lunch time.

Why she lives on a cruise boat and has a alligator in some dirty pool, I have no idea. LOL DON'T WORRY GUIS HE IS A FRIENDLY ALLIGATOR!

Overall, this series had the basis for something really cool, but IN MY OPINION fan service and just trying too hard made this series pretty sucky. I really liked the opening though, so props for that. Too bad I don't like the series. It was pretty bland, and could be a lot more interesting. It was also really confusing at times, and I felt as if parts were cut out or that there was a really sudden scene change. The characters had personality, but some of them showed none or only stood out because of there hair color. Maybe this series gets better in the later episodes, but I think I'll pass on this series.
