goshuushou-sama ninomiya-kun 1

Yet another ridiculously-premised harem anime featuring hawt meido… so of course I’m stepping in.

The ridiculously-named Goshuushou-sama Ninomiya-kun (wiki) is an unholy combination of Girls Bravo, Full Metal Panic, and High School of the Dead. I’m not sure where to begin for this raunchy light novel turned anime. Since it is a harem anime, let’s go through the checklist:

Loser guy? Check. Shungo is teased and picked on because he’s allergic to women. Do you remember the look that Rossiu had when he realized that the Anti-spirals were waiting for Arc Gurren in space? Shungo has that face pretty much the whole time.

Ridiculously hawt girl forced to be close to loser guy? Check. Mayu fits this to a tee. As an added twist (so maybe they don’t violate Girls Bravo‘s territory), Mayu is actually like X-Men’s Rogue and can drain the life energy from guys. If you kiss her, you die, just like Yoko. (Promise: that’s the last Gurren Lagann reference this post.) And, of course, Shungo is randomly selected to be her Sagara-class bodyguard, only he’s nowhere as awesome as Sagara.

Ridiculously awesome house/setting? Check. It’s almost as awesome as Nagi’s mansion, but not anywhere as awesome because the lack of Maria (though Reika has yet to be introduced).

Vapid and bubble-headed plot? Check. I think even for harem comedies, the premise of Goshuushou makes To Heart seem like Mushishi. Guy who can’t touch girls can touch a girl that can’t touch guys. Almost as awesome as yakuza/mermaids, only nowhere as awesome.

Pointlessly ridiculous twist? Check. Much like High School of the Dead, all the men around Mayu morph into zombies when they get close to her (due to her succubus-like powers). Maybe this finally explains where the zombies in High School of the Dead come from, if that damn manga will talk about something other than the orgy bus. (We get it. There’s zombies, and everyone is escaping from reality by re-creating Kid Rock’s last bachelor party. If you’re going to have sexual escapades, at least involve the main characters.)

Dear Mayu,

Stop dressing like a stripper and stop flaunting those breasts. Even the whores in Vegas don’t show that much for free.

Sincerely,
Britney Spears

Dear Mayu,

Have some self decency. The youth of Japan has a severe lack of modesty.

Sincerely,

Dear Ryoko,

Hey, I have no problems handling a heavy caliber machine gun with one hand either.

You’re clumsy.

Dear Mayu,

All you need to succeed in life is a little self confidence.

    lol, Good analogy.

    No!!! I want more! :D

  2. If I started picking up series like this I would have no time for school or work anymore. If only there was more time in a day.

  3. Given the recent rapid flow of posts, would it be fair to say that AoMM hasn’t been so much ‘Derailed’ as ‘Inspired’ by Darry?

    I’m disappointed by the lack of originality on display in the school uniforms in the seventh screenshot.

    I’m also worried about the fact that I’m serious about my last statement.

  4. hold on a sec, what’s her real hair color? orange or pink?
    Yes I do focus on less necessary details.

  5. “I have no problems handling a heavy caliber machine gun with one hand either.” — Well played with “either”, considering that P-90 is a 5.7 mm PDW-class SMG.

  6. I tried to watch this show… Really, I tried.

    But 5 minutes in I just can’t take it anymore… Generic harem with boring twist is… just what it is.

    I loled.

  8. Shungo is teased and picked on because he’s allergic to women.

    To tell the truth, the allergy awareness in Asia is something to despair about, as they consider it more like a mental problem instead of real physical immunity disorder, thus a sign of inferior genes. I have a son who is allergic to milk, eggs, peanuts, and tree nuts, and I honestly believe, my son would already be dead due to Anaphylaxis before age of 5 if he was born and lived his entire life in Korea or Japan. Even if he survived, he would have been branded as inferior being, someone who is sub-human, and be made object of ridicule and contempt.

  9. Mayu is a succubus :p
    And Ninomiya can´t touch girls? Would say he doesn´t beat them up.

    He isn´t like Momonari from DNA2 or whoever was in Girls Bravo so I don´t think that´s correct.

    But then again, everyone has free will and thinks of whatever they want to.

    I´ll watch some more episodes to see where this show goes, then I´ll decide.

  10. OMG! I think we have the winner for “Generic Harem Show of the Season” title! Since the post and those postcards (lol) more or less sum up my thoughts on this show, I’ll rest my case. :P I might check an episode or two to lulz at the fanservice, but I don’t think my brain can handle more than that. When the whole thing opens up with a massive plot hole (why they dropped Mayu at the school when they knew she turns males into “zombies”?) we’re clearly in for a no-brains-required ride.

  11. I watched this series last night.

    I blame Seto no Hanayome for the fact that I actually sorta enjoyed it.

    DAMN YOU MERMAIDS! YOU HAVE RUINED MY TASTES IN ANIME!

    *ahem* Anyway, shallower than a kiddy pool, but strangely fun. Ryoko and Mayu’s brother alone made the show fun. “No, go on, kill yourself. I’ll video tape the whole thing. It’ll provide years of memories.”

  12. A Girls Bravo plot-like. Well, at least the main lead isn’t a wuzzy.

    I’ll stick with it

  13. Am I not alone to think that Mayu does kinda look like Miharu from Girls Bravo?

  14. i’m glad i wasn’t the only one who saw the recyclable leads from Girls Bravo in this show as well.

  15. Took one look at the description of the plot over at RC and decided agianst. Looking at Jason’s description i am glad i made that decision.

  16. Dear Shungo,
    You gotta tap that ass.

    I lol’d <3

    Fixed.

  18. he is not allergic to chicks at all
    he just doesn’t jump on them all the time

  19. No cause he don’t like any of those girls that’s why he told them about the “couple” issue. Though he is man after all cause his self restraint seems breaking apart when Mayu is around him.

    To avoid this they should make Mayu wear proper clothes to avoid making Ninomiya limit break.

  20. Almost as awesome as yakuza/mermaids, only nowhere as awesome.

    *head asplodes*

  21. Those postcards are gold!

    Im not impressed by this though, the only harems ive ever latched onto were because they made me laugh. This does not. And it would need Moetan or Kodomo no Jikan style fanservice to hook me that way, which it, again, does not have.

  22. Michiko Neya voices both Ryoko and Melissa Mao.

  23. “Michiko Neya voices both Ryoko and Melissa Mao.”

    A waste of prime VA talent.

  24. “Michiko Neya voices both Ryoko and Melissa Mao.”

    um… which Ryoko are u talking about?
    definitly not Asakura Ryoko, since that’s voiced by Kuwatani Natsuko9

  25. ahh~~ brain lapse, forgot the sis is called ryoko also

  26. Jesus Christ, man. Go listen to Koi No Minoru Densetsu.

    Taniguchi, Mikuru and DRAGONFORCE have an unholy baby of awesomeness.

    Truly, Shiraishi is the hardest metal known to man.

  27. Uh, just a note: the P90 is considered a subcaliber Personal Defense Weapon (PDW) rather than a submachine gun, because it uses hi-velocity small caliber 5.7mm rounds as compared to the 9mm rounds commonly used in most SMGs (excepting the UMP45, which uses .45 ACP rounds). As an elite SRT operative who’s used both weapons before, Mao would be aware of this, and would not class the P90 as a heavy caliber SMG.

  28. Isn’t that a P90? If so, like the MP7, it should not have very high recoil, even if one handing it is a little unrealistic. It’s a pretty light SMG actually, and not very powerful. In BF2, each round is less powerful than a pistol round, although the rate of fire is very high.

  29. The other day, someone told me that an encyclopaedic knowledge of firearms was not, in fact, one of the basic qualifications of a well-rounded human being. So I shot him. True story.

    The crossed-ties-round-the-neck thing (I don’t know the term) visible in the dress in the first picture reminds me of the commentary track to the original Vampire Hunter D movie, which said that a woman’s neck is considered particularly exciting in Japan (the commentator related it to the design of the kimono). Dunno if that’s a true story though.

  30. Kabitzin: If you are quoting BATTLEFIELD 2 as information for firearms… I… I can’t even begin to express how little that actually means. BF2 = Not. Good. Information.

    Wild Goose: “most submachineguns”…. There are plenty of submachineguns using many ranges of calibres. There are many, many more submachine guns using .45ACP than the UMP45. The UMP itself comes in 9mm Parabellum, .40 S&W and .45ACP!

    That’s a ridiculously poorly drawn P-90 though (proportionally ridiculous). With the muzzle brake/flash hinder bent at a downward angle to boot :/

    In other news, the ridiculousness of this anime has compelled me to watch it.

  31. All a true nerd needs to know about the P90 is that it’s the weapon of choice for both SG1 and Henrietta.

    Though since no one in Black Lagoon uses one it loses some points.

  32. Kabitzin: If you are quoting BATTLEFIELD 2 as information for firearms… I… I can’t even begin to express how little that actually means. BF2 = Not. Good. Information.

    WHAT?! Are you sure????

  33. wow…lots of fan service to feast your eyes off! ^_^.

  34. XDDDD

    I liked this a lot more then Umisho so I might actually watch it. I just like succubus’s <3

  35. The P90 isn’t a high caliber weapon…
