 Sharing the Princess Hour timeslot with Final Approach, it's W Wish (apparently pronounced "Double Wish", in case you were wondering)...
1 - Junna and Senna
Junna and Senna are orphans - their parents were killed in a car
accident when they were young, an accident in which Junna also lost his
memories. This being anime, rather than living with relatives, they're
now living on their own together. Their school's not too happy with
this arrangement, though, and tries to persuade them to live on the
campus dorms - but Junna and Senna don't want to be separated...
2 - Help Help Club
It's time for that old staple of anime, the School Festival, and
Junna's class is putting on a haunted house - not that there's any real
enthusiasm for it. Junna's saved from the planning session when Sana
Fujie , a junior student, hauls him out of class for 'Help Club'. Seems
he's been 'volunteered' by Tsubasa Ohtori, the school rich kid, to help
her out. Senna's not too happy at seeing her brother with other girls,
though...
6 girls in the OP, so I suspect a harem's on the way, with 3 down
already. Junna seems to have a bit more personality than the average
harem male, which makes a pleasant surprise - especially since the 'no
memories' trick is usually used to make a character as bland and boring
as can possibly be, so chalk up one good point.
Less good is the 'everyday school life' setting, which has really
been overdone lately, and the rest of the cast, which are pretty much
cookie-cutter stereotypes of the sort you see in just about every other
harem / h-game anime of the past few years.
For all that, though, I enjoyed W Wish, although I couldn't
honestly give you a reason why. The character designs are appealing
& there's a reasonable level of fanservice, but it's been a while
since they were my only reasons for watching a show, and wouldn't be enough on their own to keep me watching W Wish.
All I can say is that there's a certain 'feeling' or appeal to the
characters and setting that has me intrigued, so I'll be watching for a
while yet. |
