Hello everyone,
Here we are for yet another post, this time we'll talk again about Softenni, a fanservice series that I'm quite liking this season (probably the best of this season). The premise is simple and probably devoid of any special points, but the execution is very well managed and is able to make you laugh more than once.
The characters, the life of this series, are all well defined and charismatic. I'm liking all of them except maybe the cow Chitose Akiyama. My favourite character of all time is Elizabeth Warren with her cute voice and style (second place to Asuna Harukaze with her dirty mind and energetic personality)
...but unfortunately there is a major setback that makes me suggest to you to wait for the dvd release...yes, I'm talking about the absurd censoring this series is receiving from the tv stations.
While I can understand some of the content is a little "too much" and need to be censored, but hell they do censor almost everything, even things that are commonly used in many other series even more light in fanservice than this.
I suspect this is a decision to increase the dvd sales, and unfortunately they are reaching their objective (at least for me).
Returning to the story, in the last couple of episode we got introduced a new character that is probably the cutest ever after my lovely Elizabeth. I'm talking about Shidou Misaki, a national level soft-tennis player that somehow tries to destroy our girls spirit ending up with her spirit destroyed.
I loved how she continually end up in embarassing situations like the nekomimi costume they make her wear in the 8th episode! (It was really "Omochikaeri" with that costume!)
Next episode (the 9th that I still haven't watched even if it has been aired already) seems to be regarding Kotone's struggle related to her love for her teacher after the misunderstanding of the 8th episode.
That's all for now, but we'll likely have another post on it before or at the end of the air!
See you soon,
