Girls Bravo 02


Well, color me surprised. This show is actually quite funny.

The writing and direction has a sort of wittiness you don't see all that often, and the physical comedy is more laugh-out-loud than annoying (*cough*, Love Hina). I couldn't stop smiling.

And, unlike some, I find Miharu adorable. Her mannerisms, her bottomless pit of a stomach, her appearance: too cute for words. And, of course, there's the Kawasumi Ayako factor as well. I like her in her "cute" roles.

Anyway, if the rest of the series can match this episode in terms of execution and playfulness, this is going to be a truly enjoyable show.

I agree! It's good to see that this title didn't fall into the ultra-saccharine harem genre (a la Maburoha), and the over-the-top violence was quite amusing. As long as this title continues to place a premium on scripting over fanservice, it's golden :-)

Not quite sure if the Miharu comment was partly aimed at me, so let me clarify: Yes, she is adorable. She's cute, sweet, friendly, helpful and fluffy - the incarnation of "Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice". However, I think that in the long run this alone is a very limited (and losing) definition. I hope that she will be less than perfect in the future, and thus gain some extra depth.

However, yeah - it's a great show yet :)

Out of curiousity, have you checked out DearS? I'm finding that I like it a little more than Girls Bravo.

And the fog in this show is freaking annoying.
