Mixed Feelings
Too Long Don't wanna Read: Yea, Ookami-san to Shichinin no Nakamatachi isn't bad, but its not good either.



REAL REVIEW:
The whole thought of an anime based on fairy tales intrigued me(which is why I watched the entire thing) yet fell short when they dropped the whole fairy tale thing near the end.

There are some logical fallacies like how the "hunter" in this story is in love with the "wolf" and not "little red ridding hood" - if I get my facts straight hunter kills wolf and saves granny-(not seen) and red ridding hood, but w/e.

Hansel and Gretal are seen at brief intervals during the anime with some-sort of incesty feelings towards one and another but they deny their incest so i guess its ok.

They do some referencing in the anime-notably ToraDora and some other anime.

Again these are just lentils compared to the real chunk in which we dive now.

The main characters work at a "favor" bank where they do favors for students expecting favors back. weirdly enough they seem to be spending favors faster than they could make em seen in a swimsuit ep(sigh) where they blow their savings on telling the students not to vote for their own bank employees.

Anyhoo that being the setting the real dilemma is that something happened to Ookami(wolf) by a mysterious guy which turned her mentally into a man, being aloof in trait and does boxing,

Due to that trait Morino(hunter) and Akai(Red Riddin) get attracted to her, where they get feelings of "ooh she is strong" and "I want to protect you" which seems to be the generic feelings these days of making girls strong yet need to be protected - because they are girls.

Also Morino is sociophobic which means he unable to look at people, reason for it- because he is a hunter and takes comfort in seeing and not being seen, which is weird because Snake in Metal Gear Solid takes this to an extreme and he himself is not sociophobic at the least. Anyway He confesses to Ookami because thats what sociophobes do, and tells her his confession to which he gets denyed but denial isn't something that bothers Morino because later he joins a team with Ookami and uses events and flag points to sway her to his favor.

Ending goes something with enemy school de la ghetto decides that even though they got beaten by Morino and Ookami, they can take the entire bank, which starts with kidnapping Ookami. Ohoho but soon they realize that it was all masterminded by Ookami's past loved one, and as Morino and (past loved one) fight it out, (which oddly PLO had a knife yet never used because advantages are unfair) Ookami gets over the past trauma and Morino and Ookami both win, which is to say until the Bank decides to leave them alone and negotiate through IMs.

Last Minute Notices:
Narrator talks over the people sometimes, which is annoying as hell.

This anime parody's scene shots which is funny till overused.

Morino has a lisp and is very bipolar with his sociophobe so take it to account.

Other than Ookami and Morino, all other characters are very minor, even the main bad guy.

So in the end this anime is like putting ketchup on potato chips, yes its something you might wanna try, but there are so many better things to eat, like potato chips in sandwiches.
