First Impressions – Boku no Tsuma wa Kanjou ga Nai

Summer time correct kicks off with, because it occurs, the final sequence within the preview (although reality be advised there’s often not a lot distinction in expectations with the “Modestly ” class). I’ve typically heard fairly good issues in regards to the Boku no Tsuma wa Kanjou ga Nai manga. And the anime has a fairly good director in Yoshimura Furihiro. However Tezuka Productions has change into some of the dependable producers of bland and cheap-looking anime, and sadly Boku no Tsuma is not any no exception in that division. That’s nothing the story can’t overcome if the writing is sweet sufficient, but it surely does trim the margin for error.

If I’m being brutally frank right here, my early take is that it most likely isn’t. This premiere wasn’t unhealthy but it surely was type of clunky. And I imply, the premise – lonely loser man falls in love together with his robotic housekeeper – is hardly a groundbreaker. That conceit may be emotionally impactful in the fitting fingers, and we may nonetheless get there. However greater than something I discovered the interactions between Takuma (loser) and Mina (robotic) predictable. And only a bit creepy, too. Possibly that’s simply me, possibly not. If not, I’m unsure but whether or not it was intentional.

In any occasion, Mina is a “second-hand” housekeeping robotic who in principle can solely prepare dinner from her preset recipes and wash dishes. Takuma is a youngish salaryman who appears to not have any type of a social life. It quickly turns into clear that Mina is taking cues from Takuma – offhand feedback about her being his spouse and such. She places of a love love message in ketchup on his omurice, she forces him to remain hydrated (this really appeared kinda harmful) when he drinks an excessive amount of beer. And when he drunkenly tells her to get into mattress with him, she does.

That is principally performed for laughs at this early stage. However Mina being so childlike somewhat unsurprisingly casts an unsavory air over Takuma’s advances on her, even when he hasn’t completed something actually improper. I don’t suppose you’ll be able to actually get a learn on this type of story in a single episode, and this present specifically looks as if it may go in a pair radically totally different instructions. I’m not a lot impressed with the opening salvo however I’ll give it one other probability to reset my perceptions of it subsequent week.
