[Anime] Lovely ♥ Complex

On the .com I complained about the Kansai-ben that everybody speaks, but I'm actually loving it now. Kansai-ben is hilarious in itself, and the show's writing is pretty great also. The art is the only thing I'm not really sure about, but it's original and I feel like I may just not be used to it, and will grow to like it.

My only major worry is that it's going to turn out really sappy later on. That's not really this show's strong point in my opinion.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

That was one of the best episodes so far, some really funny jokes in that one. And it almost seemed like there's some small character development though I'm not fooled by it yet. I'll believe it when I see it.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Episode 6 was hilarious. Best episode so far, it was so funny I had to watch it again. I'm glad there is some form of development in the relationship though, I was really worried it would turn into another Ranma 1/2, but it's totally working so far.

My favourite joke of that episode was when

Spoiler:

Nobuko kicks Koizumi in the back for arguing with Otani after she blows the "Otani-kun~ <3" speech.

I was laughing so hard during that whole scene I couldn't even follow the next few minutes and had to rewind.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I thought this episode was mostly hilarious, but it did have a serious edge at the end. The All Hanshin Kyojin comedy show was super funny this time, too.

I recently rewatched the first episodes, and this show has really taken off compared to the first 3 or 4 episodes, which I thought were still sort of iffy at times. It's becoming one of my favourites. Each episode so far has been better than the last, and I'm really looking forward to it now.

But I almost certainly never would've tried it if it wasn't for this thread. <3

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

That sounds like a great plan indeed!

I really liked this episode, this show seriously becomes better as it goes on. I still think episode 6 and 7 are my favourites though, so many funny faces in those two!

It seemed to improve a bit with proper subs, but episode 10 certainly wasn't the strongest ever. I'm still really enjoying it though!

I'm not sure what you're trying to say Bukkake Bandit, but okay.

Oh man, I don't know if anyone else is watching this show still, but I absolutely love it. The writing is unbelievably good! I've never seen a Japanese love comedy with such expert development and pacing, it's incredible.

Of course I'm posting this now because of the recently released new episode, but it's overall absolutely true, I'm just in love with this show, and every time I think it might become lame it does something so awesome it makes me completely love it again.

FELIPE NO

Just thought it was an interesting note.

I thought I wrote a post about this already, but it seems to have disappeared so yeah, they're speaking Kansai-ben. Although "aho" is actually used in Tokyo too but it's very grave as an insult, but in Kansai-ben it is the other way around completely (baka is really rude and aho is kinda friendly-playful). When I first started this show I wasn't that familiar with Kansai-ben and I was pretty weirded out by all the "aho"s flying around.

I love Kansai-ben as an accent, it's so goofy! That's one of the main reasons I got into this show, and then I was drawn in by the great story of course.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?
