Actually, I Am…

This anime has received quite a few poor reviews because "it's been done before". I don't believe that's a valid reason to knock a show. I like pizza, particularly pepperoni and mushroom. I order that type from just about any pizza place I eat at, and as long as it's tasty I'm happy. Maybe the sauce or the crust are different at all of them, but they're all pretty similar. Nevertheless, I like them as long as they taste good. I would never complain about a new restaurant that made pizza that tasted somewhat close to other pizzas that have already been done before. Complaining that a show is similar to many others that have come before makes no sense. As long as it's fun what else matters? So, setting aside the silly grumbling about how it's been done before, the show is pretty good. There isn't a lot to the story, but it's fairly well written. It's labelled as a harem, but that's stretching it. It's really just 2 girls. There are complaints about ecchi, but it's barely there - a couple cleavage shots. The characters are cute and enjoyable to watch, but if you see a lot of anime you'll probably forget all of them in 5 or 6 months. Anyway, if you're looking for something that's sort of comedy, sort of romance, sort of harem and don't demand that the show be in the top 500, you might enjoy this. Although I won't watch it again, I'm definitely glad I watched it once.

This Anime is a good show for watching while relaxing. The show itself is has a very light feel to it, and it is easy to follow the story line. The opening and ending theme were good, and the after credits were interesting to watch. My issue with the show was that the story didn't move too much in any direction, and I feel that, although it is not a story based show, it could have done a little more about it. Many of the characters were enjoyable, but they followed the steriotypes a bit too much for my liking - espesially a few of the characters. All in all, I do recommend watching this for just having a good time. [ Secret Santa Review ]

Jitsu wa is a mediocre anime. You might not think so at first: you might think that it's actually something special, as I myself did, drawn in by the comedy, nice animation and good songs, and even after the bland ecchi filler starts to creep (read: rush) in, even after you've heard the two "this is an emotional scene" songs ad nauseam, you might, as I did, hold on to your hope that the snippets of character development and drama the show gives you every once in a while might actually turn in to something. But you, as I, would be wrong. This anime is based on a manga, and the hum-drum, status-quo story of that manga hangs around this anime's neck like a millstone, dragging it to the bottom of a sea of similar shows. Were it not for that, this anime might have been good, but as it is, you can pretty much just stop watching at any time and not have missed anything. And one of the best places to stop watching this anime is before you even start.
