If I hadn’t watched so many crappy anime for this series, I’d think that Pita Ten was a lot worse than it was. Instead of being “awful”, it only ends up being “really bad” (to say nothing of say, “transcendentally terrible”). It’s almost entirely filler, but it’s not the worst filler I’ve ever seen. I can barely differentiate the characters, but there have been totally unnecessary ones. And the voices are grating, but at least my ears didn’t bleed.
why is it that koge donbo's stuff always gets crude humor added in for the anime?
Filler: Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne and Sailor Moon SuperS were the worst. SMS was almost insultingly dumb in its filler plotlines. KKJ didn’t know how to make filler that wouldn’t completely interfere with the main storyline. In Pita Ten, the filler was literally 24 of the 26 episodes, but it at least was completely inconsequential and meaningless. The fluff level of the filler also made those last two episodes really weird when they tried to actually be serious and it just did not fit. at. all.
Characters: E’s Otherwise was the worst. You could literally remove most of the characters from that show and it wouldn’t actually change a single event in the show. Pita Ten is pretty bad here, but most of this has to do with the 24 episodes of filler. It’s like they couldn’t even get to the second chapter in the manga or whatever where they would actually differentiate between the characters. For example, I’m sure Misha does things that are angel-like in the manga, but if you removed the first episode from the show where she says that she’s an angel (sigh, whatever happened to show, don’t tell?) you would have never guessed. On a related note, I’m not sure why I’m supposed to actually particularly care about anyone, mainly because again they’re so nondescript.
Finally, voices: Nothing, NOTHING will ever top Tenshi ni Narumon here. Misha was very annoying, but Yukari Tamura (who I like) managed to keep it about one octave underneath the ear-bleeding level. Tomoko Kawakami, on the other hand, was more like one too high. Also, Misha had the advantage of being generally cheery rather than bratty, so while there were plenty of KOUTAROU-KUUUUUUUUUUUNs like how Tenshi ni Pokemon had its YUUUUUUUUUUUSUKE-SANs, it did not have any IRANAI IRANAI IRANAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIs.
And, in an gift from the heavens, I somehow did not want to stab myself in the face every time I heard Rie Kugimiya. I think I will now change my position of “Ugh, don’t want to watch anything that she is in” to the more accurate “Ugh, don’t want to watch anything where she’s a playing a tsundere role.” It’s probably just that streak from around 2005-2007 that did it, as I’ve realized that I never had a problem with any of her roles before then (this, Rizelmine, Gals, Nanoha, and of course, Full Metal Alchemist.)
Would I watch it even if I weren’t forced? DO NOT WANT
I really liked Shia because she was fainty and cute.
Huh, I really liked this anime idk might’ve been because it was one of the first ones I watched :\ even though it was stereotypical and full of fillers I thought it was fun to watch especially the episode where Misha went to that bath house to “cleanse” kotaru’s soul and all you saw was him levitate to the sky and soap fly to his skin like he was reenacting the exorcist in anime form.
Oi. Koboshi is tsun-tsun and dere-dere. Just not over the top. Not enough Shino.
That said, the manga is better. Nyaa-san is cute. Nyaa-san vs Sacchun is fun to watch.
That said, they made the anime when the manga was only 5 volumes in.
This was also one of my earliest anime watches and so I totally forgot why I liked it. Maybe because I was just starting out on the moe~ genre and I saw the characters look totally cute. If I were to watch this today I may have similar complaints as yours.
the manga actually had a really GOOD story (and I had my books signed by Koge Donbo herself :3)
totally loved Shia, the weak/nice/friendly devil girl next door…
It’s true, tsundere characters bring out the worst in Kugimiya Rie. Oh and tacos too.
Hinano, I’m so jealous of you at the moment. xD
it was an exciting moment, I even got to speak to her in my crappy japanese telling her that (at the time) I liked her manga Kamichama Karin, so she asked my name and wrote “to (my name)* rather than just signing her name like for everyone else
The manga is pretty good. I’ve only heard the OP for the show, and I liked that. :v
I wish! Hello! Wake up angel! Mune no naka no~
There is also insufficient Shia x Misha H out there.
insufficient?
any existing is too much!
Shia is so innocent!
Damn, I want to use that toilet paper dangerously.
Shia breaks hearts.
Somehow… I have forgiven the fact that the anime butchered the original version given the fact that stuff is crappier these days.
