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.

Big breasts, panty shots, nosebleeds, and the classic perv getting the **** beat out of him. Every anime lover has run across a few of them. This is another one of those shows. Personally, I love them, and this one is at the top of my favorites list.

The story is a little hard to follow due to the fact that each episode is 5 1/2 minutes long (2 minutes are just ecchi scenes). It just focuses on the Koizume and Seiji. Its a classic boy loves girl (obsessively) and girl doesn't want anything to do with boy (evident in the amount of ... blood she leaves splattered on the walls). The ecchi scenes are what makes it funny. This dude knowingly puts himself in dangerous territory just for the sake of talking to this girl ( and taking a peek at the underwear of the day). Also a person, may get confused because you never really are sure what actually happens and what just happens in his mind.

The animation is passable and the sound had nothing to jump out at me.

THe characters were all straightforward. The perv, the mysterious girl, the bigbreasted childhood friend (who is only in 4 eps), and the mysterious girl's friends (who they dont really develop on).

I just loved the ecchi scenes. The violence and the perverted parts where just funny to me (i'm a little blood thirsty).

I know my review might not help many people but please please, PLEASE watch this show.

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.

This anime consists of little more than panty shots and girls kicking boys' arses. I don't know the exact definition of "ecchi", but this wasn't really what I'd call "perverted". Just lots of panties.

The animation is sub-standard, but the facial expressions of mainly the main guy are often hilarious. Background music is pretty meh, but I really liked the voice acting. Sure, it's mostly screaming "AAAAAAA, LOVE ME!" and yelling "EEEEEE, GET AWAY, YOU PERV!", but it is one of the best "screaming and yelling" anime I have seen (or rather heard).

The story has been seen many times before; a guy tries to get the ... love of a girl, but gets rejected and physically massacred over and over again. Love Hina comes to mind, but here the problem is not the confessing part (This anime must set a world record of confessions per minute). It's more like... um... the girl not wanting to commit or something. Nothing special here, really.

What's cool is that this anime is so compact; it's just 16x5 minutes long, so you could just watch this instead of all the similar animes and save yourself some time.

Most of the jokes are predictable and cliché, but once or twice per episode a hilarious line or facial expression will actually make you lol for real.

I don't regret watching this at all. Sure, it's stupid and not uniqe at all, but it's funny and not very time consuming.

Now this is a peculiar show. Different types of episodes and a great anime in general, lets get on with the review.

Story/Characters- There is the main character, who is a huge perv, and then there are a bunch of girls, who put a spin on it. I don't want to spoil anything, because honestly its not that big of a show, but it is a great story with twists around every corner. Same goes with the characters. That is why they both got nines.

Art/Sound- The art and sound are good, as the voice acting and animation go. There really isn't much to say about that ... though. Just generally good animation and sound were put into making this.

Enjoyment- If you are a guy (Most girls wouldn't like this, for it is not a piece of shoujo crap), you will enjoy this. Some girl's might enjoy this, either if they are a man, or they aren't into extreme lovey-dovey shoujo crap. Lots and lots of man humor is in this and you guys will enjoy it.

Overall- This is a great series for two reasons: One being that is well-rounded, for the animation and character development is done very well, and the sound and animation are ok. The second reason is that you can be very flexible when watch this show, considering you can watch this any time you are near a computer. THE EPISODES ARE 5 MINUTES LONG! You can virtually watch it whenever you want, or watch them all at once for an hour or so of enjoyment. That is why this deserves a nine.

One of those cases when the viewer only gets to experience the small fraction of an otherwise great story because the rest wasn't adapted and most likely never will.

There is never a dull moment with Iketeru Futari - characters (especially the female lead) are great, comedy is gold, fan-service is tasty and the romantic dynamics are unfathomably wholesome and cute. What's even better, with its short episode length, even those who suffer from attention span issues can enjoy it to the fullest. Aside from not being completed, the only other downside this anime has is the animation quality, however, it's not really an issue ... and won't hinder the delight one is provided with while watching this rare gem.

— 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-

This anime, held up to modern shows in the same gerne is now kind of generic. It is very effective in showing a lot of fan service but ultimately has a undeveloped plot. The plot has the potential to be ahead of it's time and very intriguing but it fails on most fronts to be compelling. It feals like there was something holding it back from being an above average anime. The animation is very dynamic and almost lively. It has a lot of energy but over all looks dated and poorly aged. Comparing to shows that came out around that time it looks slightly ... above average. It a good watch it because your bored show not a watch it because it's good. It's might be worth a watch to experience some older ecchi anime.


A remake of this anime would be very interesting in a modern anime world that is more open to certaint content. If it was redone now it could explore some of the subtext of the shows charter relations more in depth.
