Kanokon (DVD) [Dyn-DVD]  

.
Given the comments here, I was expecting there to be a storyline of some sort.    I gave the first three Eps. credit for setting the stage, but then it took a left-turn into incomprehensible stupid.  At least a dozen points were clever enough they could have been developed into something interesting.  Sadly, every single situation was turned into a mechanism

Yeah, well, buckets of more-or-less pointless ecchi splashed all over just about nearly every minute.  Art style and rendering were fairly meh; adequate for the vehicle but hardly memorable.  Several times the giant tits behaved so much like helium balloons in zero-G that I was left wondering if the "artists" had actually ever seen a naked woman in RL.  Specials are really flirting with borderline hentai, and they are little more than ~2 min fanservice clips.  I didn't really care for nearly every character in the show, yet the special fanservice bits were so over-the-top gratuitous that it made me feel embarrassed for them.  I've watched (and done) a whole lot of ,,,interesting ... things in my life, but this is one of the very few times I ever actually felt like a perv.  And not in a good way.  Deleted within 2 minutes after finishing, a new record for me.

[ EDIT: @dazedheroine - welllll ,,,just because I found it lacking in some aspects, I had no intention of discouraging others from giving it a shot.  I felt my "review" is more of a Truth-in-Advertising warning sorta public service to balance against some of the other comments that seemed to imply there was a so-called plot involved.  There is still some gratuitous entertainment to be had.   ]

After seeing your comment datora I must DL this lol

Random i sore this ages ago when it came out . i herd there might be a season 2 ? dose anyone know? this is a prity cool Anime  even know the story was abit lost in it self  =D

anime like this one dont have a very complicated story line, but it is stil very hilarious to watch.
i sertantly dont watch it for the story but just because its soo.. much fun to watch

I saw this anime at my school's anime club and I liked it since. This anime is awesome.

considering the comments i recommend people these animes
for extreme ecchi "kiss x siss"
for complicated storyline "true tears "
for ecchi harem and gender bender "kampfer"

@ datora
Thx for the useful 'review'. I'm in the process of deleting 'stupid' shows from my HDDs, as I never liked gratuitous ecchi (unless it has story or is something really creative or special). Lol, there was a time where I DLed anything. Now checking AniDB and comments on BBT to see if these seems-no-more-than-ecchi shows have some other redeeming quality, mainly story (or even realistically) wise

Same here. It's called growing up. lol.

Well...

Y'know... shows like this and Rosario+Vampire are really a shame. The producers (XEBEC and GONZO, respectively) had such great source material to use and they just went and re-wrote most of it to cater to the least common denominator... Believe it or not, in the manga, Kouta is actually a decent character who isn't spineless. He's a bit reserved sometimes, but he's not the effing wimp/lame-ass harem lead/etc that XEBEC made him out to be in the anime. Unfortunately, the manga hasn't been completely translated. I think there are like 2 or 3 volumes left to go, and yes, it has a really good plot and you actually can understand what's going on and why everybody is after Kouta (I can't remember if they explain this in the anime or not). Anyway, if you like tits and ass and wimpy harem anime, get this... If you like kemonomimi anime w/ DECENT plotlines, get Wagaya no Oinari-sama or smth like that.

I was so surprised at how different the anime is from the manga. The manga actually ha a plot

Indeed, YoShawnYou. The manga is awesome.

Are the subtitles orange-colored?

thanks for this.

What you said explains my thoughts correctly.

Is there going to be 720p?

I saw a Russian upscale that was really well done a while back floating around. I have no idea where it is now. As far as an official HD release....I highly doubt it.
