Fall 2008 Season Opener Reviews Part 2

Hyakko - Episode 1

To continue with the season opener reviews, I will give a brief review of the new series called Hyakko that has also just recently began.

First off, the main reason I even decided to take a look at the anime is because I thought that the art style looked very nice and a little bit different from the typical. So, is it the typical romantic school comedy that it appears to be from just the picture of the show? From the looks of the first episode it does seem to be very typically comedic and set in a school setting, though no romantic elements have hit us over the head yet, thankfully.

The first episode sets us up with the four main heroines of the show, though if you asked me to recite their names, I would laugh in your face. They all have their different personalities and seem to get along to some extent. The episode centers on them inside their school, being lost because it's so large. Other than that, nothing much really happened besides the resolution to the minor conflict.

Who would I recommend this series for? The awfully bored, looking for something to watch, crowd. It's not very exciting and it's not horrible. I will watch maybe a few more episodes to see where it goes from here, and let you know whether it's worth your time or mine.

That's all for now, stay tuned for further reviews.
