Lovedol - 03 - I cried, but not because it was touching

Panorama of emo-chick for all you fanboys ————->
Rating: 5/10
This episode was filled with way too many corny lines and what I like to call “warm fuzzy” feelings. I seriously couldn’t take it, and had to pause the show after every scene to catch my bearings and do something manly to redeem my sexuality once more (no I’m not talking about fapping). It was just “too much” for my tastes, but still somewhat enjoyable in a laugh-at-how-stupid-this-is kind of way.
I’d just like to mention that my viewpoint on this anime is extremely skewed, mostly because I’m not their target audience, so naturally I’m going hate it. BUT, it doesn’t mean I’m not enjoying it (does that make sense???). Even though I can barely handle watching a full scene because of the gallons of warm fuzzies being thrown at me, I get a kick out of it. How could someone possibly, 100% truly enjoy this show? My only answer is that they’re either an extreme fanboy or they’re a young female. By young I mean young, like around the same age or younger than the main cast.
The content is such that I was smacking my forehead every time a girl said something that was supposed to be important. For example, a girl would turn back to her friends and say: “Lend me your strength!” or “Lets go, together.” At which point, I’d let out a groan as I fall backwards out of my chair due to the force with which I smacked my forehead. This is indeed a well-made anime. I mean, they’re doing what they aimed at and they’re doing it well, but MAN it’s fucking painful! Also, emo-chick flashing back to the same damn scenes 100 times was driving me nuts! How easily she was swayed by Mr. Pimp, sigh.
If the girls start doing a photo shoot or start wearing some swanky cosplay or something, I’ll definitely be all over their young bod–eer how about I forget their age for now *hears police sirens in the background*. One thing that trips me out is how much the characters look like some of the Shuffle! characters. Sure they’re both made by Navel but DAMN they’re similar! The girls are also not that different from each other in appearance other than their hair, which is kinda sad. At least their voices are different, although you wouldn’t be able to tell by how they sing.
Damn you Lovedols! I won’t give in to your corny lines, warm fuzzy feelings, and loli bodies!!! Grow up so I can fap without feeling asha–wait, I mean DIE!! (can’t escape it!)
Short “Summary”:
Mr. Pimp’s younger sibling is quickly accepted by his whores. Little did they know she’s actually an insider to see if any of the girls are holding back on their earnings, tsk tsk. Then the reject 5 girl Lovedol squad go to see a performance by older Lovedols. I heard “stage, dance, and nurse outfit” so I’m assuming it was some sort of strip joint practice session (gotta teach ‘em when they’re young).
But alas, their costumes are missing, so the rejects take it upon themselves to show Mr. Pimp how much they know already. Yeah, that’s right, they’re already pro. Who the fuck needs lessons from those two old geezer lovedols anyways, these 5 are in their prime…you know, 10 years old. Just before they go on stage, guess who arrives! Emo-chick was like “Don’t let me miss a once in a lifetime chance to cut myself on stage” so she joined in. Huzzah, they now have 6 members and can now run rampant on the streets without shame! Now, they’re off to conquer the world…or something.

This was a humorous read, Rets. I love the Emo-chick though, she has massive potential to like, try to jump off a building or like let a waterfall of teras flow down her face for no reason. I think she’s the token CRAWWLINNG INN MY SKIIIN character we are not meant to sympathize with, but meant to hate with a burning veangance!
Also, its obvious Lovedol is very much for the “Pedobear” demographic of people. I mean if a few nubile young girls doing their “thing” for their “Manager” (more like Brothel overlord) don’t rub it right with Pedobears, I don’t know what does :p.
More like a burning vengeance to jam it in for most people. they’re just too young though…too young.
LOL!
Ah well, suffice to say, I am enjoying this series, even though it is made up of a lot of shameless fluff. I just zone out when they focus on the five girls of the third batch. I find them to be the weakest characters in the show. In fact, I kinda forgotten what they were talking about in the third episode.
The characters that grab my interest in this show are Mizuki, the Manager, and his Aneki.
From the OP and the ED, it is fairly obvious that Mizuki is only acting ‘tsundere’ to the Manager. She ain’t gonna sing with them for her own motives; you just know she wants to bed him, and bed him hard. I bet if the Manager had been any less ‘cuter’, she would have ignored him like the rest of the pack.
On a side-note, I keep expecting Mizuki to have a guitar-case ala Desperado. “REVENGE! REVENGE! MOTHERF***ERS!”
Also, is it only me, or did anybody else interpret Mizuki’s abduction scene in a perverted way? First of all, the Manager drags her in against her will, then the gang of girls coerce her into singing with them.
That scene of her in the changing room after the performance made it look as though she had been violated or something.
I guess it will only be a matter of time before Mizuki is lobotomised, and becomes as… ditzy as the other girls. ;_;
Cheers.
ADD] One thing I will congratulate Lovedol about is the level of animation consistency thus far. It makes watching it that much more enjoyable.
Narf.
It is indeed true that at least some things are consistent with this anime. I dunno how you zone that out man, it’s crazy. I seriously had to stop the anime and leave the room a few times because it was causing my brain to itch or explode.
I too like Aneki, but she’s also just the generic manly sister who pwns the younger brother or whatever kind of relationship they have. Still, their interaction is usually fun-spirited and entertaining.
She was definitely abducted, and I’m sure this isn’t the last time either. Next time will probably be to his house. Then to his bed. Then onto his pimp-rod (no not the accessory). Seriously though, if they get any ditzier I’ll really start crying. Mizuki is the only true contrasting character in this happy-go-lucky world of young pop idols. I’m just disappointed she complied so easily. What happened to her damn spirit, her bravado?!? He grabbed her hand and she went passive, it was disgusting.
Even weird girls find true love. Write that down.
“Who the fuck needs lessons from those two old geezer lovedols anyways, these 5 are in their prime…you know, 10 years old.”
LOL, good one.
I am yet to watch to this episode but the frequent smacks on the forehead caused by the incredible levels of cheesiness describe my opinion of it quite well. Do continue with these funny reviews, there is a lot to make fun of in Lovedol.
You are clearly a hardcore anime lover if you can sit through this and not have internal brain melt down. Well…I couldn’t bear to watch more than the first 8 minutes of the first episode…but i will return to it at some point as some masochitic test of me saying “I’m going to watch every episode of anime in the world ever!”…but I’ll save this series till near the end, when i’m going deaf and blind (thank God!), along with other vomitingly cute teenage girl fodder such as ‘Candy Candy’ UUGH…I think perhaps i can skip watching the episodes and just read your blog about it as it’s probably more entertaining!!
lol ‘warm fuzzy feelings’ sounds like an anime series about hamsters hugging! Kawaiiii.
@Matrim: ;p i’m glad we see things on an even plain. Did you know I love the name Matrim? Same name as my favorite character in Wheel of Time.
@Hazel: Lol, I’ll take that as a complement. I can’t even begin to imagine what Candy Candy would do to my mental health. Lovedols is bad enough as it is. I’m sorry that my “summaries” aren’t exactly what happens, but if you use your imagination a little, you can probably figure out what happens in the episode.
Talking of the Wheel of Time, where do you think I got this nick from? Exactly from there and it was because this particular character is my favourite, too.
Anyway, I made a great effort and watched the third episode. I had to pause often and skip the annoying flashbacks from the previous episodes but I did it! I watched it to the end! I can’t believe somebody actually got paid to write this script. The fans of those two older Lovedols were quite a fetishist bunch - I guess they wouldn’t have even recognized their idols without their maid costumes or at least that’s the implication the show made.
Nice, glad you like WoT as well!
You sir, are a brave BRAVE man for watching this, even after knowing it could very well kill you. I found it rather coincidental that the sisters can’t preform without their maid costumes. Like, seriously, what??? They can just sing in their stylish expensive clothing that they where everywhere. Cop-out to let the 3rd group debut, yawwwwwn. I hate cop-outs.
