Mixed Feelings
Over the years, anime has given us a myriad of varying and powerful stories that chronicles the journeys of its characters through expressive and visual means that grasp and enthrall people with the wondrous worlds that they can create. But you're not here for any of that. Hell, if you're watching Okusama, you're here for one thing and one thing only. Boobs. Story: This second season of Okusama 'continues' off of the first season with relatively the same goals and ambitions of the first season with none of the progress. At all. What's presented as a second season ofthe series comes off as a dozen of 7 minute comedic OVAs with little to no continuity from episode to episode. The formula for each episode starts with our protagonist Hayato Izumi engaging in some innocent situation with one or more members of the female cast (most commonly the two girls who are seen as his romantic interests), which eventually turns into a sexual situation that usually involves touching one's privates in some fashion or another, stopping before anything that constitutes as pornography can occur.
Beyond that, this virtually plotless piece of entertainment doesn't have anything else worth of value of mentioning. Due to its nature as a seven minute short dedicated to entertaining whomever's watching with some relatively high sexual content, I don't really see much reason to go above and beyond with the show's minute nuances. The high school and student council backdrop is a facade that doesn't get used that much, the characters are shallow and not much progress towards character development is actually made, and honestly, I don't see why anyone would actually watch this show for that things. If you're watching this, you're watching this for boobs.
Overview:
+ Boobs (I can't not make this a positive, as it's...probably the two reasons why people watch this.)
- Everything else is shallow. (Plot, story, characters, everything.)
Characters: The characters are the same. Izumi's still holding in the urge to attack any piece of femininity that's hung in front of him, Ui still wants her fiance to notice, love, and probably deflower her, and Misumi's still that annoying tsundere character with too much pride as a morals committee member and jiggle physics. Oh yeah, and I guess Karen, Niikuma, and Sawatari are there too. You met them in season 1, and you'll see the exact same people in season 2 cause nothing changes.
The only new character we're introduced to is Saijou, the president of the photography club. Presented as a comedic flirt who'll get the perfect shot by any means necessary, Saijou's character has the same pitfalls as everyone else, being a character that has no meaningful development or character, but is thrown in as a wrench in the works rather than a piece of meat for the male viewing audience to ogle over. At least, not as much as the others. So yeah, those're our characters. Shallow examples of people with as much depth as a cardboard cutout. Whoopee.
Overview:
+/- One dimensional people (It...kinda works? Mostly cause the show doesn't give them enough time at all to even be remotely developed.)
Art: Produced by Seven, a studio whose biggest accomplishments are Danna ga Nani and...various hentai (whoo, there's a spectrum), it doesn't come as a surprise that in terms of art quality, Okusama has some very average artwork mixed in with some surprisingly well done erotic scenes. But unless you're here for a pair of mammary glands, don't expect the art to be all that spectacular.
Sound: The music's not worth it. Voice acting...you'll get quite a few moans, so fair warning, watch this with headphones, and with your computer facing away from the door.
Personal Enjoyment: To be completely honest, I don't really have much to say. The manga piqued my interest, and I watched the corresponding anime. Personally, nothing about this series really warrants me to like or despise it in a drastic manner. I have my two cents, but in terms of overall enjoyment, I neither liked it nor hated it.
Did I like this series?
Eh...Boobs were nice, I guess? Boobs are always nice. Jiggle physics are a bit laughable and improbable, but what the hell do you want? It's anime.
What didn't I like about this series?
Karen, and...Misumi. Their characters are annoying. And because the characters are as shallow as a one foot pool, nothing about them will EVER change. SO that's annoying, I suppose.
Would I recommend this anime?
If you really want to get something out of your system, or just really like boobs, then I suppose this is a good watch? Keep in mind, the only thing you'll get outta this series is boobs. Nothing more, nothing less. If you want anything more than that, then watch some hentai; it's the next best thing.
