Anime Review: Seitakoi no Ichizon
Alrighty, time to review Seitakoi no Ichizon. Personally this was one of my favorite shows this year.
Summary: The show focuses on the daily meetings of the Student Council. It consists of four female members and one guy, Ken Sugisaki. Together the five get very little done and have fast-paced conversations full of references to various anime, games, and general Japanese culture.
Length: 12 TV length episodes.
Pacing: A little odd. Several episodes have little to nothing going on plot wise, while other episodes focus on a plot or backstory.
Conclusion: Nice full circle ending. I honestly didn’t expect the show to have much plot development, but it did and it was well executed.
Characters: The four main girls are based on generic character types, and they have varying degrees of depth. The main character, Ken, starts out seemingly flat but actually has a good amount of personality.
Entertainment Value: Depending on how much anime you’ve watched and how many games you’ve played, your mileage may vary. Anyone who enjoys silliness and spontaneity will find some amusement, but a large portion of the jokes are references to other works.
Rewatch Value: Moderate Rewatch Value, you’ll probably catch references you didn’t catch the first time.
Lessons: A few lessons about friendship and hard work sprinkled in, but not the main focus of the show.
Recommended For: Spontaneity Lovers, Anime Lovers, Gamers
Not Recommended For: People new to anime , people looking for something less silly
Other: I’m hoping for more of this, or something equally good from studio DEEN,
