Girls Bravo: Second Season

So I can't decide if Tomoka is the best or the worst character in this series. I watched the English dub for some reason, I guess I just can't resist the sultry tones of Liam O'brien. But the trade off was that the English voice for Tomoka was awful. Couldn't stand listening to it. It seems to be a trend with loli characters that in the process of localizing for an American audience they just have no idea how to create the right tone for the character and just end up being loud and annoying.

The story delves a little bit more into the world-building and ... how exactly the magic portal to the girls only planet works. We spent most of our time the first season just on Earth but we get to actually go back to Seren... Seran? Oh Seiren. Had to look it up. Anyway they spend a bunch of time back on Seiren toward the end, and we get a few more members added to the harem.

I actually really like Fukuyama as a character even though you're supposed to think he's the worst. He basically a huge chad who knows what he wants and doesn't pussyfoot around crying anytime a girl tries to talk to him. I wish more protagonists had his energy, I honestly kind of hated Yukinari. Yuri Lowenthal doing his best to sound young and timid was just weird, and the character trait of being afraid of girls in a harem anime is so played out and annoying.

7/10

Girls Bravo (Seasons 1 and 2)

You know how in most harems, the main guy is afraid of women or has no idea how to act around them? They’re so afraid of the boobies and close contact, right; well in Girls Bravo, our MC has a ridiculous reason for being afraid of girls! He’s been bullied by them all his life and develops a rash/hives that permeates throughout his entire body when a girl touches him, sucks, right?

Our MC is Yukinari Sasaki, he lives alone in his large home and has a really kind neighbor/childhood friend that takes care of him. The neighbor is ... Kojima Kirie, a really pretty girl who’s loud, slightly obnoxious and very strong, you don’t mess with her.
The main girl for Girls Bravo is Miharu, she comes from a different planet, a planet that has a population of 90% females who are all looking to get married and messed up (You know.... oh trust me... you know) to any man they can find; though Miharu isn’t like this at all. She’s kind, sweet, extra cute and is the only girl that doesn’t cause Yukinari’s hives to break out; pretty neat!

There are a few recurring support characters such as Fukuyama Kazuharu, he’s the super perverted, grope you in the middle of class type of guy. He’s aggressive and loves the girls, he’s not afraid to get a little dirty, but to make things funny, he hates guys; so he gets hives whenever a guy might touch him; really funny stuff. We also have his imouto, Fukuyama Risa (Lisa), she too is in love with Yukinari, she’s also a bad ass witch who deals with black magic and is a super gorgeous blonde girl. There is also Koyomi, Ebi and Tomoka; Ebi is some sort of creature from Seiren (The planet with a ton of horny girls) and Koyomi and Tomoka came from Seiren to help find a groom for Miharu’s sister Maharu. The cast is all really funny and because there are a good handful of characters to look out for, you never get bored or annoyed with any of them, (well maybe Kazuharu and his really perverted ways).

The story: Uuuhm, you’re not watching this show for a story, you’re watching it for the boobs, really…. A lot of boobs, I mean, there are a lot. Any story that is shown is self-contained in each episode, because the anime is very slice of life and episodic, but who cares about that, let the oppai consume you, embrace the ecchi and lewd nature that is Girls Bravo, it's for the best, after all =).

Sound: Yes, there is music and ambient sound and BGM. It’s good, but not 100% memorable really. The OP and ED for both seasons however are good and very fun for what Girls Bravo is, really enjoyed them for sure.

Animation/Art Style: Hehehe, well I liked the art style and animation, the show aired in 04, right before or during the time that anime started to change towards the extra shiny and super cute look. Girls Bravo retains a more hand drawn type of look, (as in, late 90’s type of look). It’s unique and very pretty. All the girls are drawn very well, there are no strange issues that really occur, but there also isn’t much detail in the world either. A lot of the focus is on the faces and cloths of what the characters wear, things like that.

I personally enjoyed Girls Bravo. I was feeling a little down and watching this made me quite happy. It’s a series full of laughs and fun, though I suspect the MC and his hives antic will tire people out. If it matters; it’s not until the last 2 episodes of the 2nd season that things actually progress in the story, so most of it is very very slice of life. It’s fun though and I think it looks good too. Boobs

Well I just finished the series, so I am gonna try to review the important points:

Story: 5
The story is kind of not the forte of girls bravo to be honest, there is not anything depper, at the end they try to do something with it but like I said I think the story is not that good.

Also for me I dont think they dealt with the harem thing very well, I mean in a harem the boy is supposed to at least put some interest in more than 1 girl, but here it always seemed that yukinaru was only interested in 1 girl.

Art: 7
A ... good art, more for the ecchi lovers xD

Sound: 7
Good sound overall, I think the sountrack fits the series very well.

Character: 6
I think they could have developed the character a litte bit more, but I guess it was ok, too bad we didn´t got more character developent for the people that appeared at the final episodes.

Enjoyment: 6
I am gonna say I enjoyed the series but for me it was kind of a filler anime, the fact that the guy had almost already made the decision about the girl was kind of a mood killer for me
