Papa no Iukoto wo Kikinasai! Episode 2 Impression (Because I totally forgot about episode 1 already)


First of all, I dunno what to expect from this series when I first heard of it. A light-hearted comedy, something like Usagi Drop, or maybe both? Actually, to be honest, I expected something like Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukenai out of this. I dunno what I was thinking, but whatever. Note that this is my Episode 2 Impression and it will have pics, albeit very crappy one probably. The only reason it’s not a bundle of 1+2? Simple: The first episode was SO boring that I totally forgot about everything. Uh, yeah...... Not a great first episode imo. Since I just watched Episode 2, might as well do a blog about it! :D

Well, the second episode was an improvement from the first. With Yuuta spending time with the girls, I found their personality to be cliche but charming at the same time. Sora is the shy, tsundere-ish (she shows arrogance to Yuuta because of the peeping, but I can still technically call that Tsundere tenancies), dependable kind of girl, Miu is the out-going, cheerful kind of girl, and Hina’s what you expect an anime toddler would be (which is overload with cuteness). So, stereotypical personalities, but I hope there’s some kind of character development later on to flesh out the character more.


To be honest, I expected Sora to be like Haruhi from TMOHS and Yuri from Angel Beats (arrogant is one word. I would like to say “tsundere” but I really don’t think Yuri is a tsundere that much. Of course, Haruhi’s a tsundere to Kyon) because the character design looks ALMOST EXACTLY THE SAME. I MEAN, SERIOUSLY. It’s like the character designers were lazy and were like “ oh, let’s just steal a character design from some random anime that everybody happens to like” or maybe they were trolling us and trying to have a character design that contradicts with her character and make it “conveniently” like another anime character from a certain anime series. Actually, I’m pretty damn sure that’s what happened. ANYWAYS, moving on!







You see the difference? Because I sure as hell don't. Look at all of them! They looks the same, except for the color of the hair! I mean, even the ribbon's almost the same!
I can also say that Yuri is a clone of Haruhi, but Yuri was different in the last episode with that cackle of hers. XD

I expected Miu to actually be a bitch, not a jokester type. Maybe it’s because she’s blond, and I once knew a blond that was a total bitch to me in real life. There’s was also something hinting it in the character design imo. Or maybe I’m a bad judge of character. Probably this. Whatever. Oh, and I expected Hina to be a cute, moeblob toddler, which is what she is. At least I got one personality right. YES! VICTORY! I think. Is ⅓ a victory or a loss?

At least all of them are cute, and I actually felt bad when THAT BIG DEPRESSION seeped in and ruined the cheery mood of the show towards the end. Actually makes me feel bad for them a little.
Argh, I felt all of this was just a rant of the girl’s characters, so off to the episode impression

It kicks off with introductions of all the girls, and to be honest it was cute but it didn’t keep my attention for long. Around the time where the Wii playing kicks in where I really pay attention.





Aw, Poor Hina! :(



Dreaming about his sister, I actually screamed “lucky ass!” when his sister pushed him into her boobs and started to sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Give it up to my pervertedness to envy a character that got pushed into cleavage at a young age.

When Yuuta was sleeping, I really did expect someone to scribble something on Yuuta’s face, but I didn’t expect Miu to be the one who draw on his face. And on top of that, to put a wig, too! That was just, LOL! Yuuta sure as hell does love cosplay!




When Miu grabbed Yuuta’s arm at 10:15, I was actually surprised. Usually in ecchi animes, the MC would be embarrassed because (I’ll try to be the most perverted possible! :P) he’s being pushed into boobs that he can actually feel and gets embarrased and stuff. You know what I mean if you at least watched ONE ecchi anime! But, Miu has no boobs, so I was both let down and smiling at the same time because the scene was so cute at the same time.






OH MY GAWD SO KAWAIIIII!!!

The twinkle twinkle little star was actually pretty well done imo. It doesn’t really fit the situation with the flashback, but it plays significance later on when they watch the meteor shower, which was a nice little touch.






And it’s a nice, cheery scene to lessen the impact of later on in the episode. And when those guys came to tell them about it, I thought the scene was really touching, especially since it has (supposedly) happened before with Yuuta and her sis. With Sora not wanting to leave her step-sisters behind. It was such a great scene imo. Pic below:



And so, the REAL anime begins! Let’s hope it’s good! And Yuuta doesn’t turn into a pedo in the process!

That is all. I will rant about the Opening, the Ending, and the art later, as I feel this is already as long as it is. This was a really good 2nd ep IMO, however it’s still not the best of the season. Let’s see how this plays out!
7.25/10 (good)

BTW LOLOLOLOL SORA HAS A KYON FACE ON! About the most awesomest face in any Slice of Life ever.
