M POWER~!! To my surprise, this episode actually ended up being pretty dramatic. It served as a good follow-up to the previous episode. They highlighted Yuno’s traumatic experience with her ex-boyfriend once again. The scene where Yuno broke out into tears was actually handled pretty well. She was scared of the calls the other guy [...]

Bullying and Abusive Relationships has been a hot topic because of the recent suicides that resulted from prolonged bullying. In the last two episodes, Yunno, a soft-spoken girl developed a fear for men as a result of an abusive relationship she had in the past. In the third episode, she ran into her former boyfriend, [...]

I cannot accept this. This is his punishment for scarring a girl, hitting her, and even spreading nasty rumors about her. The punishment is a simple threat, don’t get close or talk to Yuuno or this will be released to the public. He might keep his promise and keep his distance but what would stop [...]

  Remember, rape’s only a joke when it’s girl on girl. Or involves flutes. Impressions: They didn’t do nearly as good a job with the drama this week as last. I particularly didn’t like the flowers and clouds and puppy dog delusion in the middle of Yuuno have a complete mental breakdown. That was jarring [...]

So hey, we have another girl with andra…andre…uhh…a fear of men. And just like our previous lady, she packs a punch. Though I didn’t expect the source of her fear would be revealed so fast, expected a hint and a conclusion in a later episode. But that’s fine. And on the other side of the [...]

Masochistic or not; MM! is definitely on my Autumn watch list. Talking about getting pleasure from pain and suffering it certainly looks like the main protagonist is getting a lots of heavy blows from Mio. Ouch! Odd enough is, Taro Sado will always looks unbruised and unmarred from a previous heavy beating. It seem like this will be a fun-filled season with plenty of “Pain!” and comedies from this anime. I wonder, will the episodes ever be developed into a SM style beating from the almighty Mio? Oh, did I mention that traps will be included ...

When I first saw the synopsis in Scamp's chart, I thought that this show might be interesting as it focus on masochism. What I didn't expect however is how fucking stupid this platform can be if they fucked it up.The person who has the masochist tendency is none other than the protagonist, Tarou Sado. One day he went to the 2nd Volunteering Club (WTF is with that name anyway? It represent shit about the club) to tell about his "problem". Little that he know the president is a psychopath. Fortunately though this just works perfectly for a perverted asshole like himself, who loves being abused and fuck he was being abused from start to finish. Jeebus, it gets on my fucking nerves.For fuck sake, if you want to cure someone who is a masochist, fucking stop abusing them! But then again Mio is pretty much a tsundere sadist. I say fucking cure yourself first, you slut!Whoa, I was ready to give this shit up when suddenly I was hit with a BL plot?! WHAT?! This is so not fair!! Thank fucking heaven that the BL ended before it even started otherwise I might be forced to watch this shit till the end >>The fact that Tarou is voiced by Jun Fukuyama and Tomokazu Sugita even has a role in this one does nothing to calm my rage. I can't believe I just wasted half and hour on this shit.art and animation 5/10story 3/10character 4/10sound 5/10enjoyment 2/10overall 4/10

After I watched this episode, I changed my mind about MM!. This episode like the last episode focused on the various problems the people in the club want to resolve. In this particular episode, it focused on Yunno’s androphobia that have been developed as a result of her trauma in the past. Yunno reminded me [...]

OHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!! HOLY FUCKING GOD TATSUKICHI! Oh My God Fuck I died twice. First when he declared himself the most beautiful in the world and second when he grabbed Mio’s (non-existent) bust. Tatsukichi confirmed in competition for EPIC-EST TRAP OF THE YEAR. On the other hand, this was actually a Yuuno episode and boy, she’s like my favourite girl of the [...]

Episode 02 – 「似たものどうじのディスタンス」(Nitamono Douji no Disutansu) “Distance between Similar People” If the first episode was about introducing Taro’s extreme masochism and Tatsukichi’s love for cross-dressing, this episode deals with Arashiko Yuno’s androphobia. While there were still occasionally disturbing jokes based on the main characters’ mental disorders (especially, Taro), it looked like the studio XEBEC [...]

Is this seriously Xebec? Impressions: An actually rather nice, calm, and surprisingly, even a little bit touching episode. Although now that I think about it, LvB also had a very nice episode after it’s somewhat painful opening one. They handled the scene of Yuuno’s trauma from her boyfriend trying to force himself on her and then attacking her very [...]

MM! Studio: Xebec Premiere Date: 10/2 First Impression: Are they really trying to build an entire series around this? Tarou Sado is a first year high school student with a problem: he’s a hardcore masochist. Whenever a beautiful girl strikes him down with her words or fists, Sado is turned on beyond losing control. After confiding his problem to [...]

Let us get this out of the way first: MM! is all about a girl that goes all Ultimate Fighter on a boy who happens to become sexually aroused by being beaten by girls. …and it’s pure awesome. Violent female protagonist are nothing new to anime. For that matter, the basic concept of this show [...]

Time to get punished! In a gist MM! is about Sado Taro (Fukuyama Jun), who has a ‘disorder’ of being turned-on when abused by women. It’s so bad to the point he enters absolute ecstasy each time he’s abused. Wanting to be cured of this disorder his best friend Taksukichi Hayama (Satou Rina) sends him to seek help from Isurugi Mio (Taketatsu Ayana). It is with this girl, who think she’s God, that he seeks to find a cure but all she does is give him more pleasure than anyone else. Well ...
