KokoroAkechi 09/15/17 2:12:32 AM #63:	55. The Kawai Complex Guide to Manors and Hostel Behavior https://myanimelist.net/anime/21405/Bokura_wa_Minna_Kawaisou Kawai Complex is a light romantic comedy about Kazunari Usa who wants to get away from weirdos to stay at the inn the show is named after. However, it turns out everyone at the place is a weirdo but it also so happens that Ritsu Kawai a girl who Kazunari has a major crush on also lives there, so he can handle all the other guys... right? There really is not too much to say about this one. Each character is zany in their own way with Kazunari being the really only normal one. Ritsu is quiet and a bit shy, but also not too out of the ordinary. It's really more the feel the show gives you more than what actually happens in it here. The comedy is good and the characters are enjoyable but it's how they work together as a package. Aside from mainly Ritsu (who gets the bulk of the character development) each character does get some level of development overall and some of them even have serious issues but the show tackles them in more comedic ways. A huge aspect too is the art style and animation. It really fits this almost not totally there type feeling where it's almost aloof in a lot of cases. However, this is much more a comedy than a romance and a lot of it is really just friend zoning with some breaking out of the friend zone potential after the show is over. I do think this is a great series but one that is probably better than the sum of its parts. 54. The World God Only Knows: Goddesses https://myanimelist.net/anime/16706/Kami_nomi_zo_Shiru_Sekai__Megami-hen THWOK:G is the third season (and likely last) of the series. It skips a significant amount of content from season two and I will say that the first seasons are pretty much required viewing for this one. This season continues to follow the exploits of Keima Katsuragi as he has to keep making girls fall in love with him in order to capture runaway spirits that the girls are being possessed with. This time though he must do it again in order to unleash the goddess residing in each girl. I'll be honest... I don't recall why they are awakening the goddesses in the first place. But in terms of like how each conquest is crafted this is the best one in the series. This is by far one of the best harems I've seen with a surprising amount of individual character development and good comedy that doesn't rely on fan service. As for why the series is good overall, it's mostly because the main character is not a complete loser. A lot of times it's the girls who are the main focus, but that's not really true here we are not rooting for a particular girl to win, we are rooting for Keima to win all the time. His departure from a typical harem protagonist is one of the anchoring factors of the entire series. That said because of the way the show works in arcs of conquest there are issues with I can't be assed to remember anything about any of the girls besides Elsie and Haqua. From a technical standpoint TWGOK:G has a great soundtrack and surprisingly good production values from Manglobe (remember this is a studio that went bankrupt). Too bad the shoe never saw the ending. --- Kokoro's Anime Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaIA0gY11FQ_Zh6kLSam5OA Updated: July 27th, 2016. <cite>KokoroAkechi posted [p:886634341] in Kokoro's t...
