She will go to any lengths to protect her friends Kuro and Mimi, including harassment, extortion, threats, and sexual blackmail. And yet, with her friends, she is kind, caring, and self-sacrificing. Can Daisuke gain Rin's trust and save her from her dark side without falling victim to it himself?

Kyou no Go no Ni
Alt titles: Today in Class 5-2
- OVA (4 eps)
- 2006
Fifth grade is a time for learning and growing and... getting into a whole mess of trouble! Class 5-2 is a "typical" fifth-grade class whose members always seem to be up to something. The leaders of their group are Ryota and Chika - Ryota's childhood friend who has a crush on him that she can’t seem to confess. While Chika continues on, remaining a close and valued friend, Ryota continues to be a typical boy who is oblivious to her feelings. Furthermore, he can’t seem to stay out of trouble with the ladies! Different situations keep their lives busy during school – everything from loose teeth to getting locked in the PE storage room. School is much more enjoyable when you are young and full of dreams!

add recDespite not caring for either series, I think people who like ecchi comedy centralized around young school-aged characters would like both Today in Class 5-2 and Kodomo no Jikan. Both series press the thematics of lolicon comedy and revolve around a set of young characters in a school-based environment. The difference between the two are that Today in Class 5-2 is a series of short stories within an OVA series, while Kodomo no Jikan is a progressive story.
Both series are taking place mainly in schools and combine the best and funniest ecchi elements in every episode. No unneccesary panty shots, no awkward positions. If you like ecchi anime with a good and entertaining story, be sure to watch both!
Ryofuko-chan

Ryofu Housen (Lu Bu) is a powerful general from the Three Kingdoms; alongside Chinkyuu (Chen Gong), Ryofu suddenly finds himself falling to Earth, and landing... in the body of an elementary school student?! With their new lives as flat-chested, women-loving children, Ryofu and Chinkyuu follow their hunger and their desire to get back to their old lives somehow; but it will be difficult, given the variety of obstacles in their way including old enemies, epic monster battles and the most important thing of all, trying to get their hands on Eri-sensei's mammoth F-cup breasts!

add recNow, I know you aren't supposed to recommend something you haven't seen; so I'm going to use the "I'm the site founder" card just this once and break my own rule.
Ryofuko-chan is over-the-top loli, to the point of being flat out wrong to watch. Every single blog post or comment I've read has likened Ryofuko-chan to Kodomo no Jikan (and furthermore, say that Ryofuko-chan makes Kodomo no Jikan seem tame in comparison). So I have to make the recommendation in this case. Watch both and prove me wrong, and then I'll take this down. XD Don't follow my example though... recs should always be for two things you've seen! ^_^;
Loli :3 Both these animes have a central lolicon theme to them. Kodomo no jikan takes on a more real life, believable situation as opposed to Ryofuko-chan's, which is highly unlikely. They both have lots of fan-service and comedy in them while I found a bit of drama in Kodomo unlike Ryofuko. Either way i'f ya want something to watch check it out.
Gunslinger Girl
Henrietta is a young girl who works for a "welfare group" that does the government's dirty work. Cybernetically-enhanced and specially-trained, she is one of a group of elite hit-girls, remorseless killers with no memories of their past. Jose, her partner, has taken care of her since she was brought into the organization following the murder of her family, and struggles between his affection for her, and his opposing duty to his employer. But, time is running out.. for with each bullet they fire, Henrietta and the other girls lose a little more of their humanity.

add recBoth Kodomo no Jikan and Gunslnger Girl deal heavily with the turmoil of adolescence under strange circumstances, taking care to honestly approach the situations and express the emotions of the characters reasonably. Kodomo no Jikan uses perverse comedy as its medium of expression while Gunslinger Girl uses violence, but both give an intelligent, often dark, and often harsh view of innocence and adolescence in a way that is not usually expressed.
Rizelmine
- TV (24 eps)
- 2002
In the present, the Japanese government has been conducting experiments to genetically engineer a human: a girl named Rizel. The experiment was a success -- sort of. While healthy and cheerful, 12-year-old Rizel also ended up possessing the uncanny need for “love” to further her development, as well as tears which were in fact volitile explosives! When sadness can end up destroying a city block, what's a girl to do except... get married?! For Iwari Tomori, the young man chosen as the most appropriate partner for Rizel, life is about to change, for better or for worse!

add recBoth of these anime involve a little girl that is in love with a boy/man that is older than themself. I watched Kodomo no Jikan way before I had ever watched Rizelmine, but watching Rizel I kept thinking of KnJ. I also enjoyed both a lot, so if you enjoy one of these series, chances are you'll like the other just as much.
