Okusama wa Joushikousei Ep 9 - 10

I'm quite disappointed with what I'm getting from this anime. Frankly speaking, the female lead is the type of girl I can't stand i.e. weak, insecure and overly cute to the extent of being pretentious. OK, I know Asami is meek by nature but the suggestive nature of the anime together with a bland storyline where nothing major happens to them except for the little crisis of Iwasaki or Sakura eyeing Ichimaru is really not enough to keep me staying tuned. Somehow, I get the feeling that this anime is in the middle of nowhere. It's not as wild or intense to bring out the theme of a relationship which must be kept under wraps. Even the circumstances whereby these two got married are not explained properly. I just get the feeling that I'm being brought to somewhere without knowing what led to the situation. Moreover, if the story continues like this where Asami gets insecure and jealous, Ichimaru continues to be ignorant to her internal thoughts and we get other women constantly eyeing him, it's going to be repetitive. To prevent me wasting time further, I'm washing my hands off this anime. This is really not my cup of tea. I'm better off spending time on other titles.

Okusama wa Joushikousei Ep 7 - 8

Well, I had thought that things were heading towards more exciting developments with the suspicion Asami has about Ichimaru meeting Iwasaki after school but it looks as if nothing will happen in the meantime since she chose to believe him. Personally, I would like to see a bit of conflict here instead of the lovey-dovey staff about their relationship. The anime lacks depth in discussing the marriage between Asami and Ichimaru and chose to focus on the ecchi-aspect instead. Frankly speaking, I don't like Asami's character i.e. too weak, dependent and Ichimaru just cannot seem to say no to others. I bet Iwasaki will make use of this weak point to woo Ichimaru since she's totally unaware that he's married. And when that happens, will we see an improvement in the quality of the plot?

I'm not too sure whether I want to continue watching this. I feel like I'm just wasting my time trying to watch this which is totally targetted at a group where I obviously don't belong to (the ecchi-scene lovers) and I simply cannot stand a whining girl all the time. I'll rather spend the time on Suzuka which is more emotinally intense and thought-provoking.

Okusama wa Joushikousei (My wife is a senior high school student)

Finished watching 6 episodes of this so far. Content-wise, I still think more can be done to make it more compelling since it seems to be emphasizing on the graphics aspect i.e. the ecchi-ness. I've said before that I don't really like animes where they draw females who are too well-endowed on the top so this anime got me a bit irritated with some of the suggestive scenes. And Asami, the wife in this anime kept harping on the fact that "nothing" has happened between her and her husband, Ichimaru Kyosuke. I know she must be feeling insecure but does she have to depend on that just to prove how much Ichimaru loves her or whether he's being loyal? Oh well, the anime didn't even go into details on why they got married at this point in time. That is why I think they should get down to some of these issues first before dishing out more ecchi scenes.

And we have some troublemakers in the form of the Sakura family of mother and son. The mother is eyeing Ichimaru while the son admires Asami. Maybe there would be some problems but I guess the bigger threat should be Iwasaki-sensei who was caught behaving intimately with another male student by Ichimaru. I have no doubts that this Iwasaki-sensei will make more trouble than the Sakura mother.

The only familiar voice actor is Namikawa Daisuke who played Ootori Choutarou in Tenipuri.

Oh, by the way, that opening line, "Asami desu. Watashi wa 17-sai no joushikousei desu. Minna ni wa naishou dakedo, jitsu wa watashi kekkon shiteimasu." gets on my nerves. All right, we know you are married. You don't have to keep repeating this, right? I might just stop watching this if nothing improves or the suggestive scenes get more explicit.
