Softcore at its finest.
1. “A boy is the key, and a girl is the keyhole. Open my door whenever you feel like it. It’s never been opened before!”
Nothing to add. Absolutely nothing at all.
2. “It’s strange to not be obscene in these kinds of situations.”
“Not flab! It’s a girl’s secret weapon: erotic flesh!”
Mmm… really, really weirded hearing these lines out of Mahoro’s mouth. While having Mamiko Noto voice Kouta is sheer genius, I’m still a bit on the fence with Ayako Kawasumi as Chizuru. Ecchi na no wa ikenai to omoimasu!
(Still, I can’t shake the Nagasarete vibes. This episode was the exact same as the one where Suzu and Machi fought for Ikuto in the bath. The only difference is swapping in Mamiko Noto’s feeble screams.)
3. Pork buns vs. DFC. I’m pretty sure there’s a passage in the Bible or Koran or the NFL collective bargaining agreement that speaks of this trial. Still, why does it seem like most anime love triangles involve one melonpan and one DFC? Shana and Yoshida? Mayu and Reika? Mahoro and Shikijou-sensei? Nayuki and Ayu? Pre-time slip Nia and Yoko? Felt and Tieria? Suzu and Machi?
4. I think out of giant mecha, space aliens, time travelers, Pikachu not evolving, Minmay Defense, etc, the least believable aspect of anime is that there’s so many typical loser harem teenaged male characters with all these girls lusting after them, and they literally beat them away with a stick. Unless there were circumstances like “I’m gay” or “If I slept with this time traveler from the future, God will kill me,” why are they beating them away with a stick?! Maybe we should start classifying series like Kanokon as sci-fi instead of a harem fanservice romp.
5. So back during Bamboo Blade, someone (can’t remember who) helped come up with the Dan-kun Theory. The theory is that Miya-Miya is with Dan-kun not because of the 20/80 that Lion-tan and the others think, but it’s because his whole body is a giant penis. I’m bringing it back up again because I think Kouta falls into this category as well. At least in the manga, they explain that because he was from a rural area, Chizuru was attracted to him for that. In the anime, we have no explanation, and Kouta doesn’t even have a farmer’s tan. It’s just… wait… why do we need explanations in softcore? Nevermind. Sit back and enjoy the bow-cha-cha music.

Kouta’s only excuses have concerned other people. He should’ve banged her twice by now if not for interfering spirits.
“Then… I’ll spank you”. Psuedo-spineless male lead?
i suppose the battle of melonpan vs DFC is so that there’s variety for all to love. i’m a melonpan guy all day, i’ve even even lucky enough to taste some. so yea, chizuru can fox me up any day.
“A boy is the key, and a girl is the keyhole. Open my door whenever you feel like it. It’s never been opened before!â€
I’m good at opening doors.. so uhh, ãŠã˜ã‚ƒã¾ã—ã¾ã™ã€‚
i’ve even been*
darn that no edit button =/
There’s lots of service, but this show is still exceedingly dull to me. I think I’ll just stick with ToLoveRU for my fanservice fix because at least it’s kind of interesting.
my only comment is that half the groups subbing this show need to stop and switch to Maid Guy.
This episode was the exact same as the one where Suzu and Machi fought for Ikuto in the bath.
I don’t remember that episode at all even though I went through all of them last week, but now I feel the need to rewatch the entire series again to find it.
Kanokon is kinda boring.
Believe me, I support the idea of an anime where a guy spanks a busty foxgirl, but the characters are far from being charming and Chizuru’s tantrums are becoming annoying.
I have no problem with the typical harem scenarios, but Kanokon only has the softcore porn thing going for it, and that can be found in a many hentai movies out there.
@ Amati
I think Jason meant Ayane. On a related note, I can’t believe Nagasarete Airantou (manga) still amuses me at volume 12.
Wow…..If I realised Kanokon was full of fanservice, then I shouldn’t wait until now to download it..!! ARGGG…
I think the anime is rushing things because of limited time, take the twins that I read in Wiki they show up much later (of course right now they are just part of the background).
After all loli wolf only shows up in volume 2, I understand the need for having to cram things but the problem moves to “flow” of the show, some series cannot be crammed because of how the story flow … they might start to rush up things overall in the end I think they manage to have it coherent.
-_-…My current anime list:
Kyouran Kazoku Nikki
Vampire Night
xxxHolic Kei
Kanokon
ToLOVEruIn the anime, we have no explanation
Not entirely so. The very first prelude cut before the first episode’s OP, we see Kouta meeting Chizura (possibly the first time, since no context is given, and it’s before the show proper) in a sunshower (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunshower –note the section on folkloric names–animals). Sunshowers are called “kitsune no yomeiri” –fox weddings–in Japanese. Not something an average western viewer would pick up on, but it’s kind of a facepalm otherwise. *^^*
>> I think Jason meant Ayane. On a related note, I can’t believe Nagasarete Airantou (manga) still amuses me at volume 12.
Yeah, I meant Ayane. The manga is solid, just the anime was an abortion on par with Rocky V.
…we have moved from fan service, to soft core… next i bet it will be full hentai…

I totally fucking agree with you, what with all losers not giving it up to all melopans, cats and kitties in the world that comes in their faces. I never watch the show but how can a normal guy not run away when she actaully drops her panties and bends over in front of a guy she only met in a matters of days >_< . Why only in japan that these girls will go to the extremes levels just so they play “Spank the Girl Monkey” :P
How you can say no to this……

Hold on dud, that’s chapter # 3, Jason isn’t there yet.

Damn right.

Same here.
>>Mmm… really, really weirded hearing these lines out of Mahoro’s mouth.
Haha, I’ve watched too much Ayako Kawasumi to pigeonhole her in to one single role. After hearing her in Kanokon, I believe she can take on ANY role and actually make it win.
Oh, I can’t wait till you get to episode 3. At this episode, I was still classifying this as “fanservice”. After episode 3, it’s 100% “softcore”.
“why are they beating them away with a stick?!”
Remember what happened to Matoko after he first opened a girl’s door? If these weak-willed pathetic male-leads get any we’re going have another “nice boat” ending which could be fun but I’d much rather find the Higurashi laugh collection on youtube again or, the epic,Rika stabbing herself scene
