SAEKANO ANIME HOW TO
SAEKANO ANIME SERIES

Other than the boring first episodes and the one above, I find Saekano charming in its own right. It is funny when the scene is really for fanservice, but maybe not in some serious situations. I sometimes do find those camera angles a bit weird especially if the scene is serious.

I’m talking about those camera angles on where they are not supposed to be. The anime does not hide its fanservice, and there are a lot of this in every episode. Ethical is a direct translation of the Japanese. Ethical” Not really sure as I’m just a beginner in Japanese, but Ethics Boy sounds natural in English, unless Mr. Aniplus calls it “Ethics Boy” while Amazon calls it “Mr. Of special note is Kasumi’s referral to Aki as “Ethics Boy”. As I watched the 1st season on Aniplus, I can’t help but compare their word choices compared to the one on Amazon Prime, where Season 2 is currently streaming. It does not look okay once my laptop or iPhone goes to “Night Mode”. Sometimes I like the color inversion, but sometimes I get distracted. There are constant instances where the colors get inverted as if you are looking to a camera or video film. Something should be said of Saekano’s animation. Kasumi’s flashpoint happened in Season 2 so I will leave it at that for now.

Megumi is just being Megumi and I’m sure she’ll soon be the focus of the series she’s the main heroine after all. It’s plain jealousy maybe, but I really like Eriri as she’s the one who has probably displayed more emotions throughout the first season of the anime. Eriri sees Michiru as her rival for the title of “childhood friend” to Aki while she sees Izumi as someone who challenges her superiority in art.Įriri also has an important flashpoint in Season 1 as she strives to improve her art that will someday make Aki proud (because Aki publicly declares his like to Izumi’s art). It’s important to note that both Michiru and Izumi both has a dynamic with Eriri. Are they not threatened by Megumi? Joining the cast later in the 1st season are Michiru – Aki’s cousin and composer of the music of their game, and Izumi – a young girl who sees Aki as and inspiration while Eriri her rival. Eriri and Kasumi seem to be in constant quarrel but they are both at least nice to Megumi. Maybe Megumi was really the person that inspires him to create this game. I’m not sure if Aki even has a crush on Megumi. The dynamic within the four of them is kind of weird. Kasumi now grows fond of Aki and wants to write a novel whose ending is something Aki wants (is this even part of the 1st season? I’m so sorry if it isn’t). Aki is a fan of Kasumi’s novel, which, by the way, became popular because Aki wrote about it on his popular otaku blog. I think she has a major crush on Aki as she wants her to notice her and her work. Eriri is a childhood friend and an ero-doujin artist. Gradually we get to know more of Eriri and Kasumi. I just dismissed it as necessary for plot device. He never noticed her until he meets her on a slope while the wind flutters and the leaves fall. For me, it was incredibly outrageous for Aki to never noticed Megumi when in fact they are classmates. The anime first focused solely on Megumi and her so-called transformation to become the heroine she should be. The other member of their group is Megumi, who is the basis of the heroine in the galge game they are creating. It’s not really that directly implied but I think they do have a crush on Aki. Both Eriri and Utaha have something on Aki.

Aki decided to bring together a famous doujin artist Eriri who was also her childhood friend, and Kasumi – a famous high school novelist and a person Aki admires. It’s probably very personal to the main character – Aki, and perhaps to the heroines as well. This is similar to what I have experienced in the anime Working (the It’s an anime that discusses something not out of this world – like Yo-Kais and such, but an anime that could have happened somewhere. Truth be told, I was always falling asleep in the first few episodes. Watching the first episodes of Saekano is a bit boring for me. So I guess at that point, the only thing that matters is not whether this is something that has been done before, but rather if it is interesting. The idea of an anime about creating a game could have probably been done before.

In the midst of me trying to find new anime to watch, I stumbled upon Saekano – How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend – on Aniplus (should also be available on Crunchyroll and Anime Strike).Īt first, it just looks like another harem anime which we have probably watched a thousand times.
