kanokon, i’m going to feast on you?

Oily rice cakes… ?

1. The symmetrical dry humping of Kouta using the sweat oil of a DFC loli while in a gym storage shed is probably the fanservice softcore event of the year. Then I remembered we had a similar occurrence last episode… sans bras. I’m almost sure XEBEC can print money on trees if they place alternate H episodes on the DVDs.

2. One of the great joys of Kanokon has to be all the people complaining, “It has just fanservice! There’s no plot!” Does one go into KFC expecting sushi? The fanservice genre is all about fanservice. What do you expect? Expecting anything else is as silly as trying to order sashimi at KFC, find peaceful, Christian messages in Tupac’s body of work, and stopping a hawt female fox spirit from forcing herself on a Mamiko Noto-voiced character. And Kanokon excels at fanservice without any annoying baggage.

3. “So you’re going to keep me waiting, and bully me in this way, right?” Somehow an episode about cooking turned into a storage shed ecchi fest to spanking. Gotta love how the show cuts away to credits right after Chizuru drops her pants and then Kouta starts spanking her. Kouta better be walking around like Hugh Hefner crossed with Bill Clinton with a cigar in his mouth the next episode. Either that traumatically messed up and sobbing in the fetal position. I’m down with either. But it better be either.

(I was going to start tagging Kouta as a poor spineless male lead, but he actually went back and spanked her more. So I’m rethinking it.)

4. Oh gosh, I’m so confused.

(The toast scene in the morning… I can’t be the only one thinking, “Rei-chan!”)

5. Delicious food, you must eat it. I think the moral of the food escalation battle is that ingredients do not make the meal. For example, neither Chizuru nor Ezomori got their original “simple” recipe right, and both quickly escalated to exotic ingredients and recipes that only got progressively worse. Maybe it’s a lesson in that no matter how great the material is, if you don’t polish it correctly, it’ll never shine properly. Or the lesson maybe is that all cooking disasters will eventually lead to S&M play.

(That and based on Mahoromatic, Clannad, and Kanokon, the correct “flag” for any situation where a male harem lead is presented food simultaneously by more than one haremettes is to scarf everything down quickly and simultaneously.)

  1. Hmmm haven’t taken a look at this yet…perhaps I should… FIRST!

  2. One of the great joys of Kanokon has to be all the people complaining, “It has just fanservice! There’s no plot!”

    I’ve always wondered about that.

    Most anime viewers are 15-21 year old males who feel a certain something just looking at a table leg; yet time after time they’ll hop onto threads about fanservice shows, to condemn all the service (especially poor Omni’s blog and AnimeSuki threads).

    Are they religious, gay or hypocrites? I’m curious.

  3. No, we’re not condemning the service. I enjoy ToLoveRU, and that has plenty of service. I like the service to some extent; Kanokon is just boring to me for some reason.

  4. Porn needs some plot,so it doesn’t degenerate into IKEA sexuality i.e. put tab A into slot B. It can be lower quality,but it must exist,must keep above a certain line of coherence.

  5. For plot … the same says it all, Kanokon=Girlfriend competition.

  6. You forgot Martian Successor Nadesico

  7. Chizuru is love (Ayako sure knows her business). And you’re right Jason, who needs a plot when a series is pure fanservice.

  8. You’re not the only one thinking of happy toast Rei for the record. I’m wondering if Megumi is collecting royalties off of that bit..

  9. >>You forgot Martian Successor Nadesico

    And Shakugan no Shana.

  10. I almost died laughing at the transfer student flag scenario. Hearing the DFC completely deadpan each part was my favorite of the (non-fanservice) parts.

  11. For food, I think I’ll take that meguro-man takeout from Nyan-Nyan.

  12. zOMG teh Rei!11one!! Also I love how he kept on spanking her repeatedly.

  13. fanservice! fanservice! fanservice! fanservice! fanservice! fanservice! fanservice! fanservice! fanservice! fanservice! fanservice! fanservice! fanservice! fanservice! fanservice! fanservice! fanservice! fanservice! fanservice! fanservice! fanservice! fanservice! fanservice! fanservice! fanservice! fanservice! fanservice! fanservice! fanservice! fanservice!

    yes!!!! fanservice!!!!!

  14. That was sweat oil? The DFC loli didn’t look all shiny the way Chizuru did, so I thought it was a different bodily fluid…

  15. >> Porn needs some plot,so it doesn’t degenerate into IKEA sexuality

    Anyone who watches pr0n for plot automatically qualifies for Derailed by Darry’s Most Broken Reader award.

    No, the ‘plot’ just provides the excuse for the s3xx0rs and how the characters happened to be in the same room. Plus, they’re not completely broken until they’re dreaming about Hosaka and Mako-cakes.

    Or they do art for Danbooru of the two. Those bastards.

  17. Kanokon is like a hentai without actual sex scenes. It doesn’t make sense.
    Either give me the plot or give me the sex!

  18. I couldn’t believe it when I heard the slapping, but Kouta has a damn fine pimp hand. Based on the situation at hand, it seems like he needs to use it more often.

  19. TheBigN – “Pimp hand.” Excellent Observation! And Jason, I totally agree! When one is presented melon-pan and rice cakes at the same time, it is only natural to want to bite into both at the same time. Symmetrical IS the only right anwer.

  20. no way kouta is typically spineless, that kid really is the erotic king. BigN is right about the pimp hand.

    Besides, have you seen to love-ru? now there’s a spineless lead. not to mention that show has zero plot and not much fanservice either.
