Hey everyone! Before I jump into this post, I highly recommend you check out the summary I linked up above. It's very short and concise so it'll only take a few seconds.
I was scrolling through this seasons new anime on MyAnimeList and saw A-1 Pictures was currently airing a new show, Eromanga-Sensei. In case that studio doesn't ring a bell, they're responsible for amazing anime like Fairy Tail, Blue Exorcist and Sword Art Online to name just a few gems.
The art gives me a feeling of Sword Art Online big time. So, if you're familiar with that art style and like it, you'll definitely be pleased with how it's presented in this case. I personally really love it, beautiful and vivid coloring.
Not to mention, comedy is one of my favorite genres with drama not so far along. I'm not a fan of romance anime by itself, but in this case it' obviously much more. So with these few things in mind, I watched the first few episodes.
And ohhhhh jesus was I caught by surprise in all the wrong ways. The first episode had me thinking I was going to see some underage brother and sister action which had me very uncomfortable the entire damn time just waiting for it. I'm glad it never did, I was relieved when the episode had finished.
Then I moved on to watch episode two and whatever happened in the first episode was completely overshadowed by some really, really dark talk from another little girl that comes up. This is DEFINITELY a comedy with episode two clearly marking it. My sense of humor is pretty dark and I was surprised as to how even a somewhat light-hearted looking anime like this caught me completely off guard. It's actually pretty funny in all the wrong ways. I'm confident it'll be something new to any of you who try it out.
My guess is, if you love a good ol' comedy anime but feel like you want something fresh in that department, this is definitely it. If drama and romance are other genres you like, then this will only add to the chances of you liking it. Be sure to check it out and let us know what you think!
