Fortune Arterial
Lately I've noticed Daisuke Ono is getting casted as the protagonist of a bunch of VN adaptations, not that I have anything against it. I wonder if he's trying to corner the market for booze money or something...
Anyways, to the show:
The other feel show (the first one being Yosusga).
Plot revolves around a guy, who's always being transferred, gets transferred to a school with a student council consisting of a couple of vampires. Except the guy with glasses, he's not a vampire. Neither is the loli. Yeah, that's pretty much it.
Thoughts: I didn't play the game (I came close though, more on this later... maybe), but having gone through the manga, they've definitely got this thing on fast forward. Three chapters of material are gone and they've used up some of the joke material rather poorly as well. They also decided to get the big reveal out of the way, probably because it's in every plot summary so it's not like the audience that sticks to this show would be shocked.
Everything comes out kind of... mediocre. Going by the cast list apparently they also didn't budget to hire Shizuka Itou, so this can only add to its mediocrity, though I'm hoping this is just a non-reveal. It still does kinda stick to the plot I read though. The visuals and jokes just didn't amaze me.
I am however upset that in order to get the reveal out of the way, they had to cut Kuze's intro to next week... hopefully. Gah, I'm hoping she's going to be the saving grace to get me through this.

Re: Fortune Arterial
Well this show didn't suck nearly as much as I had assumed it would, kinda the opposite as MM! But yay vampires I guess?
One thing that made me enjoy this show was the avoidance of using mis-communication as a plot device, the way the whole going into the wrong bath scene got resolved was perfect. Hopefully the getting stood up at the lover's tree problem gets resolved smoothly as well.
Anyways......
Kouhei makes girls orgasm just by shaking their hands, what a pro
lol @ food lunch card, they must use ASU Sun Dollars
TETSUJIN, the iron man is BACK!
I suppose I'll be following this show.

Re: Fortune Arterial
Well they introduced Kuze, though it was rather boring compared to the manga presentation. I guess I wouldn't have minded the if box scene played out differently to add to her personality. On reflection though, the decision is probably to push Erika so it's probably expected they scaled back Kuze's stuff.
Still, the episode did better at keeping my attention, and I'm glad to see they didn't forget about the vampire thing since most of the episode worried me to no end.

Re: Fortune Arterial
Whatever, I'm happy at least that he got to apologize to the Vice-Prez and not have those shenanigans go on for another episode.

Re: Fortune Arterial
The president stacks the cards in his favor, what a cheater.
Plot progression is always nice, I was happy to see that he didn't get his memories erased, TBH I took it as a possibility even though I was kinda sure something was gonna happen for him to decide otherwise.
My only concern is that I think he took the existence of vampires a lil too easily.

Re: Fortune Arterial
I already knew he wasn't getting his brain wiped, though post ED I kind of wished they cracked the joke about how he didn't get mind wiped in order to preserve the image of seeing Sendou in the bath.
As for the acceptance, well he did have a couple of days for it to soak in.

Re: Fortune Arterial
i was actually really pissed of by this main character the whole episode he did not ask one fucking question about what was like what was going on. its was just and if i refuse? like who would be put in a vampire situation and not ask 3000 questionsjust about who the vampires worked? let alone a why me?

Re: Fortune Arterial
So I'm pretty sure at some point there's going to be a closed-island-type scenario where Erika and Kohei get trapped alone somewhere and leads to her needing blood and then he's there with his "special" blood and it's like omg your blood is so hot....yeah...
I really like how this show has handled ecchi-type encounter misconceptions aka. the library scene. Normally the guy would somehow fall on the girl with his hand on her chest and her skirt flipped up and then she'd all be angry, this show goes above and beyond, I like it.
Lastly, I'm enjoying this show, but I fail to see where it's going to go so far. Although the introduction of a mysterious character will help the plot along nicely.

This show exists in this weird state where I'm hardly excited with each installment, but isn't at the point where I want to drop it. I think if they made Erika more violent, that'll get me fired up.

Re: Fortune Arterial
They made so many unnecessary bloomer shots in this episode. Also I want to do the water balloon race IRL

My memories of ep 5 are dominated by nekomimi Kuze.

Re: Fortune Arterial
Wasn't this show supposed to be a romance? The most romantic thing they did was her sucking his blood once.......
This show ending just feels like a waste of time, either they keep going and give us something good, or just don't make a show like this in the first place.
If you think about what actually got accomplished, you realize the show was Hasekura helping Erika break away from her mother so she could live at school without a servant; this could have been resolved in a 4 episode OVA.
I wanna go write about Amagami so whatever, this show is done.
