Do You Want a Real Friends Too? [Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai]

Posted: 10 Oct 2011 08:23 AM PDT

The first I was attracted to this anime series promotional video is when my eyes caught on a face, a very familiar face. Erio Touwa from another anime series Denpa Onna To Seishun Otoko. All of my other friends are highly agree to nick-named that character as Erio.

Erio Touwa

When I dig deeper about this series, she happen to be Sena Kashiwazaki.

I admit, that was pretty shallow of us to put this anime series into our watching list based on Sena alone. But hey, good production is good. Can you see that?

The Society Is This Bad Nowadays?

With its moe female character and decent looking male character, a comedic storyline … this anime series was actually tried to raise and issue and to create awareness of this social issues.

There’s no real friend anymore?

Now, do you have friends?

How do you sure she/he is your friend?

Do you know his/her favorite food/drinks/color?

Do you know her/his weaknesses or something that will make him/her made that other don’t know?

In my theory and hypothesis, if you can answer the last two question from observation or from being with your friend without actually asking them. Then they’re your friend indeed.

Character Design

I praise the character design.

Although there are chances that the loyal manga readers might hate it or perhaps you guys “enjoice” (Enjoy & Rejoice) with the characterisation enhancement?

Same case for most of other anime adaptions, but this is good wasn’t it? I prefer moe and highly detailed beautiful standardize character.

Yozora, I get to fall in love with her from watching this episode 1. She’s a beautiful one. I like her persona. She give me the same feeling of Kuze Kiriha from the series Fortune Arterial.

Sena, my first sight love in this anime series. She’s a blonde with big boobs, what else can I say? It’s a perfect packages. Wasn’t it almost the same as in Fortune Arterial where Erika Sendo is also a blonde and paired up with Kuze (Yozora)?

Not sure, but her eyes is familiar doesn’t she? (Infinite Stratos)

A nun? Cute, she’s a teacher/sister even though she’s just 10 years old. A familiar concept. (Index?)

… and of course, it’ll not complete without loli and imouto. Wait, can we consider Sister Maria as loli too?

Synopsis of The First Episode

This angry-looking Hasegawa Kodaka is a transfer student. Because he’s late and need to catch his breath. Instead of giving a proper appologize, he give the impression of being delinquent and that image sticks that he not able to make any friend at all.

Caught Yozora talking to her “air friend” Tomo-chan, they then starting a new club.

The sensei look familiar to me.

Not from an anime series, but this …

Dollfie Dream Yukino

Don’t you agree?

Back to the synopsis. The super popular girl, Sena then join the club but she’s not in good term with Yozora. Ah, they will make a good friend, don’t you think so?
