Iketeru Futari

A hilarious Romantic/Comedy with plenty of fanservice. Here you'll find that Saji is the most perverted character in Anime existence. ^_^

This anime follows Saji's struggles, to be liked by the mysteriously cute girl, Koizumi. There isn't much to say about this short anime because there barely is a storyline it follows, just a series of random events with some character development thrown in. Just like any other romantic comedy you get the classic moments however as an ecchi anime and a very exXxtreme one at that, so you'll find a lot of funny $exual moments too. One thing I can say is that this ... has to be the most ecchi anime I've ever seen, definitely not one to watch around your parents.

This was very fun to watch at times, but the fact that each episode is only 5 and a half minutes long, is good and bad in a way. The good thing was that I could watch it whilst downloading the main animes that I wanted to watch, but this bad because I could easily finish this anime and each episode left me unsatisfied. At least it made use of the time it had although I felt it could have done better if it was at least 10 minutes long.

The animation quality was just appalling, with terrible character models, especially the big-breasted girl XD. But I didn't really expect it to be any better than it already was. The music was pretty much non-existent but what made up for it was Koizumi's funny but cute moans (when her pager vibrates). ^_^

To summarize, this was an okay show at best and no matter how funny it was, it couldn't hide the fact that it had a stupid plot and barely a storyline. The ending for the show has to be the worst part. The show ended with such an opening ending that I didn't at all feel as though it was over. I really did get so confused by Koizumi, one minute she liked him and the next she didn't, "Make Up Your Mind!" The ecchi was funny but way overboard and I could barely go 20 seconds without watching something lewd or $exual. One thing is for sure and that is that Saji is the most perverted anime character ever created and I bet the creators are proud of that XD.

All I can say is that I recommend this to anyone like me; someone who enjoys romantic comedies and needs something to watch while downloading another anime. Don't expect too much from this, enjoy.

— shamelessly so. Practically every other episode begins with a sexual fantasy, there are detailed panty-shots galore, and plenty of bare breasts. If you like fanservice, then boy...you’re probably better off somewhere else. The anime also tries to have a bonafide story, and at only six minutes an episode, you can see where the problem lies. Given how much of the runtime comprises of Saji being a lecher and dumb jokes, attempts to be serious are laughable and jarring.

The anime focuses on Koizumi, Rei Ayame’s slightly more emotive, dimensionally displaced twin sister. Her only notable traits are that she’s diminutive in size, mysterious, and ... cagey. Why is she mysterious? Who knows? Who cares? The anime didn’t give me any answers, so I just rolled my eyes whenever her mysteriousness was brought up. It doesn’t help that said mysteriousness is stated, never shown.

While Koizumi is boring, Saji is downright insufferable. He can barely function because if he’s not groping someone or staring at their panties, he’s having a sexual fantasy that he conflates with reality. The anime tried to push a romance, but it’s unbelievable thanks to the fact that Saji will get his rocks off to any woman.

There are a few other recurring characters, but they might as well be cardboard boxes. There’s a love triangle with Saji’s childhood friend that ultimately goes nowhere, in case you wanted your time to be even more wasted.

Character relations don’t make any sense. In the first episode, Koizumi has a fun night with Saji. Okay, fine. The problem is that the next day and for the rest of the series, she goes on hating him. If the anime was going to have Koizumi dislike Saji, it should have did away with their date at the beginning of the series. Koizumi’s feeling toward Saji flip flop so often that I was just left confused.

The anime also tries to be comedic, but none of the jokes landed for me. The comedy amounts to Saji screaming (which I found obnoxious), Koizumi and other women beating the living crap out of Saji (which was justified, but not funny), and Saji making goofy faces (which still weren’t goofy enough to garner a laugh).

Despite sex-appeal being this show’s biggest strength, it’s not even that good. The cel-shaded art automatically places this as an older anime, but the nostalgia stops there, because the art is pretty average, and at times just plain bad. The character designs aren’t too striking, which is practically a cardinal sin when making erotic animation. The only thing that would help is accented features, and for the most part, proportions are fairly plain in Iketeru Futari. Sure, there are times when the show is sexy, but those moments are few and far between.

The last episode is a perfect example of the show’s faults. It’s a dramatic episode, but we don’t really know why the characters make the decisions that they do. It ultimately ends with character relationships back to square one, with nothing resolved. I guess I prefer that than the show trying to pretend it had dignity all this time.

Iketeru Futari is a comedy that’s not funny, a romance that’s anything but romantic, and an ecchi that’s seldom sexy. If flounders in nearly every aspect. To add insult to injury, it’s just plain gross. The short runtime doesn’t make it more enjoyable; it makes it more bearable.

5/10

D-

Iketeru Futari is an anime I will always remeber; I have never seen or want to see an anime that bad. (Well, I have seen one, but it's good for the metaphor).

I found Iketeru Futari around a year ago, when I was bored and looking for some anime to watch. Long story short, I found an episode on youtube, and because it was decent (and had ecchi) I decided to watch the whole series.
...Which turned out to be a mistake, because I hade to make myself sit and watch it untill the end.

Now, more than a year has passed since I saw this anime, ... but I still remeber the horror:
First, the anime has almost no story AT ALL. Yes, in the first episode there's a story, and even an interesting one (Alice), but from then on it's just the main character (Saji?) trying to get the girl. Nothing else worth noting.

Now, the art - Yes, I did watch it in horrible quality, but it still didn't cover for the lame art - the characters are just plain ugly.

The only reason I give this anime a 5 on music is because I don't remember the soundtrack. Lucky for you.

Characters - The characters had nothing to them - just plain students, who we know or care nothing about. Add to that the fact that Saji is so perverted it's not even funny (I mean, it's just plain lame), and you get some horrible characters there.

Enjoyment - like I said, this series is horrible. So why did I give it a 3? The reason is this: It's short. It's short, and you can complete it in about an hour. Which means it's useful for passing time, but I won't recommend it to you unless you like watching crap.

Overall, this series is a serious candidate for the worst anime ever made. Please, if you value your anime, do not watch this.
