Kotoura and the ESP society go to Karaoke, her first time. Yuriko thinks Kotoura should tell Manabe how she feels, or at least start making his lunch. A bitter, enraged Moritani tells her dojo members to “rough up” Manabe, telling them he’s a stalker. He misses school and is in the hospital. Kotoura knows Moritani’s [...]

Kotoura-san 03 – Blushing, Kicking and Forgiving time! First half of the episode is comedy. I enjoyed the joke from that little guy. Hilarious. Relationships are established in a sort of a way. There are tons of moments where Kotoura blushes well, almost all the time during this first half. Karaoke time, We see Kotoura sing. Another kawaii moment. Of course, She sings like hell. Second half of the episode, We see drama! Tons of them. Manabe was hurt pretty badly by some guys sent by Moritani with the excuse that He is an Stalker. Things got out of hand and He end up in the hospital. Moritani got luck that Kotoura has a good heart! Bad thing that Kotoura takes the blame for what happened. Things end up with a cliffhanger. I hate cliffhangers!

This bitch (still don’t know her name www) is still bent on making Kotoura have a shitty (school) life. The jealousy of women is a really really ugly thing. And isn’t it her fault Manabe ‘got taken’ from her? She wasn’t assertive towards him, didn’t tell him how she felt about him, nor even spoke [...]

Haruka’s meeting with Manabe may have been a cathartic moment in her life, but it doesn’t mean that all of her problems would suddenly disappear, quite the opposite in fact. By getting to know Manabe, Haruka has arguably taken herself into the public eye as it were, with others, specifically Moritani and her two friends [...]

I really like the blend of comedy and drama mixed into this show. It shifts to either without being awkward. The character designs may give off a very typical slice-of-life...

The mindset someone has while viewing a piece of media – book, art, movie, anime TV show – will, obviously, effect how that person will react to that piece of media. My mindset doesn’t often visibly bubble up when I want to talk about anime; though, I’m sure it subtly does all the time. As [...]

Kotoura-san #02 This show proves to be funny but also has its dead serious moments. Suicide, bullying, prejudice, you name it. Good to see Kotoura san has new friends and a knight in shining armor, even when He is also a dead serious pervert...No, honest...Manabe has dirty thoughts all the time and this torments Kotoura. Funny moment of the episode, the ESP clubroom! Bad moment of the episode, the bullying...touching moment of the episode, Manabe defending Kotoura from bullying...and now this bring another interesting thing...Moritani hates Kotoura and bully her because She looks Kotoura as a rival in love for Manabe...and for what I saw, She joins the club in upcoming episodes. Probably, there will be a moment of change for her and that is going to be fascinating. p.s. I think Yuriko gave Me some "Misato" vibes from Evangelion. She even has the looks, Weird huh?

Kotoura-san #01 Dont let this image fouls your perception about this show. It is not like that. Kotoura san reads minds. Unfortunately, She never knew the consequences of her power. Due to that, her parents got divorced, her mom hates her, her friends are not that anymore...All because She never knew to keep this secret or have Professor Xavier advice her. Fast forward to the present and She meets this weird guy, Manabe. Despite knowing her power, He accepts her as her friend. I think the funniest part was when He had dirty thoughts about Kotoura to catch her attention. God, People can be really mean and yet, We have this guy. Last part of the episode was touching indeed. We have a winner here for this season folks!

Like I said last week this show is going to be in my “must watch” list alongside Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai NEXT. I could conclude that this is the most depressing anime of this season. I haven’t watched anything this depressing since Madoka Magia. Although I always maintain that I watch anime not for … Continue reading »

By TheBigN So far, of the shows  I’ve watched so far this season (a list which slowly grows the more free time I have and the more interesting statements I hear about it from others), Kotoura-san two episodes in has been the one that’s grabbed me. It helped that I didn’t know anything about the show before [...]
