Though the animation is quite pretty I can’t actually say that I really enjoyed the first episode that much. Its following the style of the manga it is based on, by having short sub-episodes or skits making up each main episode (this first one has 8 seperate subdivisions, though they’re fairly pointless due to being fairly contiguous). In general, pretty damn weird, I’d have to say. Though in fact it’s just a guy in a suit…Īnd Kou discovering that Nino is really quite extraordinarily strange, with an apparently quite short-term memory (she nearly forgets who he is after a day) and a penchant for sleeping in the drawer of an antique bed: This includes meeting the village chief, whom is a Kappa: And so the scene is set for a comedy of short skits where Kou is exposed to the very strange events under this bridge with Nino.
Unfortunately, she doesn’t seem to want this, and he questions her sanity since she claims to be from Venus. Seeing that she lives under the bridge, he tries to get out of the situation by offering her a house.
This of course generates a problem: the whole ‘cannot be indebted’ thing is so deeply ingrained in his psyche that he starts to have panic attacks now he owes someone his life and cannot repay them. Whilst attempting to retrieve them, the dodgy girder falls, and he plummets into the river only to be saved by a strange girl called Nino. Anyhow, one day, he is crossing a bridge, and somehow has his trousers stolen by some errant kids, who pin them on top of a girder. I suppose it’s a weird, if sound choice for a motto. He has a family motto of: “Never be indebted to anyone”. Our protagonist is a rich guy called Kou. Please excuse the delay, I was distracted by Pokemon Soul Silver again (up to Elite Four now).Īnyway, we’ll start with Arakawa this time.
