    Tokimeki Memorial - 10 - Crazy bandanna girl strikes

    Kasuga’s power level in glomping is–*scouter asplodes*

    Rating: 7.8/10

    I couldn’t decide if I enjoyed this episode or not, which seems to the trend/flaw of this anime lately. There wasn’t a whole lot of important things that happened, so I basically loaded this entry up the butt (whats with all the gay jokes lately @_@) with screen caps. It kind of turned into a tribute to the red bandanna girl whom I’ve wanted to fap to been waiting to see more of, and am finally satisfied.

    Tokimeki Memorial - 09 - Beach tribute

    Even though it was a generic beach episode, I thought they did a damn good job of it. The exciting random nature of the show reasserted itself and did a pretty good job of not being over the top. I liked how everyone randomly showed up at the beach the exact same day that Riku and Kasuga were going on their beach date, because it allowed for a lot more possibilities in terms of humor and drama.

    Disclaimer: Theres quite a few thumbs below, so it may take some time to load. Darkshaunz wanted pictures, so I tried to deliver.

    Tokimeki Memorial - 08

    Drama Drama Drama! Well, not THAT much drama, maybe just one “Drama” would be more fitting. It’s disappointing that they didn’t take the boxcutter route, but hey, there’s still time! Kasuga drama isn’t really that interesting since she’s the screwup of the bunch, but the most important part of the drama is the fact that she’s running into Riku pimping other women.

    Yakuza Chick is bored of Kasuga’s attempts at Riku’s heart

    Finally this anime is picking up some speed, or at least felt like it was picking up speed. I get the sense that the peices are finally falling into place and the drama is going to start movin’. It’s like how the beginning of a chess game is boring to watch, but once it gets moving it can be pretty interesting. The same thing is happening and we might start seeing some crazy Tokimeki drama. Mmm, drama.

    Tokimeki Memorial - 06 - GAR central

    Still not sure what to make of this anime. I wouldn’t say it’s boring, in fact I’m far from bored when I watch it, but it’s just not…interesting? The main girls are pretty cute in their own ways, and they’re all different which is bonus points, but they’re not being worked into the plot enough. I guess they’re banking on the fact that this is 26 episodes and they’re biding their time, waiting for the opportune moment to load on the drama.

    Tokimeki Memorial - 05 - Sayuri wins I think..

    Despite being the source of zillions of cliches and stereotypes, this anime seems to hover around “average” quality. I like the character designs, and the girls all have different personalities, but its failing to excite me. I’m more interested in the outcome and who Aoba will choose than the actual journey to get there.

    Tokimeki Memorial - 04 - Finally a Mina episode

    We finally get some stereotypical harem action this episode. The only problem I’m seeing with this anime so far is that it focuses too much on one girl then the other. There’s no bouncing around from girl to girl mid episode, but instead it basically does full episode features of each girl. I guess this isn’t a huge problem, but it feels a little slower in terms of relationship development. It also makes Aoba seem like less of a pimp, which is bad I guess since people want pimps.

    Ms. Sparkle Yakuza Chicken is NOT amused. Riku runs some more... Ayame(left) pwns Tsukasa(right) My fav. Her marching or whatever was cute

    Rating: 6/10

    This episode wasn’t that great in pretty much any aspect. There were some funny parts but overall it wasn’t that exciting and the chance meetings weren’t cute enough to hold me over. If it wasn’t for those minor comedic instances and the somewhat decent looking girls (plus the mandatory locker room scene every episode), this would have scored lower.
