Hey guys! Otaku-kun here with a brand new review on a new anime!
So I first heard about this anime recently while scrolling on Myanimelist.net for this season's anime. Then I got to see a clip on Facebook, and was officially inspired to watch the anime. REVIEW: (P.s. I was writing this at night... so it probably has quite a bit of grammatical errors, & a lot of spoilers... read at your own risk! <3 ) So the intro is super, super cute... it's like the epitome of a father-daughter relationship, a child's imagination, food, and kawaii children's drawings. We are suddenly tossed into this adorable realistic world of a father (Kouhei) and his child, and the efforts he has to make in being a single parent and a math teacher. His young little girl, Tsugumi, is an aspiring Magi-Girl as we see in one of the first scenes where she's looking for her dress. During a conversation with one of his co-workers, it is revealed that his wife died six months ago. It is known previously that she had died, as a photo is revealed showing a young woman and incense. However, it appears that his daughter doesn't quite know or remember that her mother is dead. As later on in the anime, the little girl asks her father to write her mother a note to make her meat, in which the father quickly takes her over to a restaurant. Did I mention Tsugumi sleeps like I do? Sprawled out across the bed. Also hugs are the best medicine.... < Life-Advice from the Wise Otaku-kun The girl at the restaurant, named Kotori, happens to be the girl who they previously ran into at a Cherry Blossom festival, and a student at the father's school. The little girl had run over to Kotori when she was crying over the fact she was alone and her mother was busy. At the restaurant the girl attempts to make them rice, which she hasn't appeared to have made before. However, upon finishing it, it appears to be prefect. The little girl and father both agree that it tastes very well. To which Kotori blushes in reply. Kouhei promises his daughter that he will start trying to make good meals for his daughter, and that they can enjoy them together. The episode ends with Kotori asking if she can cook and eat dinner with Kouhei. Tsugumi just glaring between the two of them, a mouthful of rice stuffed in her mouth. Overall thoughts: This first episode was soooooo cute!!! I loved it so much! I can't believe I didn't start watching it until now! It was super cute and I can't wait to watch the rest of it!!! Questions: Do you ship anyone? No... not yet at least.... am I supposed to? Will you continue the series? Do you not breathe air? Does your not heart beat? Of course, I'll be continuing this series!!! Will you read the manga? O.O Yeaaaaa, hand it to me!!! Favorite Characters so far? By far has to be Kotori and Tsugumi. :3 - Otaku-kun

Alright, so I'll admit I am posting this super late in the game, considering the anime is already over. However, I was having some troubles with my old laptop, which finally died on me, and my new laptop as having difficulties playing Hulu & Crunchyroll videos. Finally, however, I have fixed said problem and was able to get back to this anime!!! Forewarning, there won't be many spoilers (as I try to avoid those like he black plague), but please forgive me if I accidentally type some in. EP. 2 Review: Plot (You can skip this part, if you don't want spoilers): So here it was Ep. 2, we left off with a ragtag group connected by this project which allows them to feel each other's pain. We still don't know too much about them yet, however that all changes just ever so slightly once this episode begins. We are suddenly tossed into the characters' "Darkest Secrets," and watch as they are exploited one by one in order to secure their lives (aka if they don't say their darkest secrets they get punished, and they could easily die if they don't answer fast enough). So as the episode continues, their secrets are revealed one by one. (NOTE: I'm no longer calling them "dark" because although it has to be a secret they wouldn't share with anyone.... some of them are just flat out not horrifying as you would think). We are shown an entirely different side of these characters, and suddenly realize they may not quite be exactly as we took them for. We are thrown into the ending once all their secrets are out in the open, and they are told their main goal. Also there's some really cute ship stuff in this ep... so be prepared for the feels. In order to exit Kiznaiver, they must survive the summer. Sounds simple right? Oh, I can tell you otherwise... but let's not spoil the whole show, kay? Ep. 3:
Plot (REMEMBER, this is where the spoilers live, so feel free to skip this): Here we discover that Katsuhira & Chidori live in the same apartment complex, and that their apartments are besides each other. Allowing a hilarious scene between Tenga and the gap between their balconies (Owwwwww). We also discover there is a final character needed, #7. We discover this when everyone feels a sharp pain and they notice the sign D-7 on their wrist. Did I ever mention I really ship Nico & Tenga? Cause I do. <3 After quite a bit of violent actions and a chase scene, we finally get to see and hear the 7th Kiznaiver member. Of course we also discover he's uhm... well... a masochist. Yeah, it's really odd, (& absolutely nothing like the S & M moment in Inu x Boku S.S.). Overall thoughts on Ep. 2 & 3: I have to say that I'm still thoroughly enjoying this series. However, I don't quite know what to think of this new masochist character. Let's just say I think he's the reason why Netflix or Hulu would put this at a PG-14 rating. XD Questions: Who does Otaku-kun ship? I ship Nico x Tenga, Chidori x Katsuhira, and lastly, Yuta x Maki. Are you still going to continue watching Kiznaiver? As long as my player can load, YES! I still enjoy this series. Thanks for reading! - Otaku-kun |
