Natsu no Arashi! Akinai-chuu ep. 1-4
Tags: Natsu no Arashi!
Akinaichuu starts out with a beach episode surprisingly. When it comes to well-endowed girls in alluring swimwear, that could mean the worst for our good friend Kamigamo Jun, who still hasn’t told Yasaka about her real gender. Now, we’ve gone through this multitudes of times so I think we can pretty much grasp the situation easily, what more do we need? Ironically, I think Jun should man up and tell him he’s actually a she. I liked how Arashi made a Ranma reference just before she was told the entire story. The best part of this episode? Kanako with glasses equals attractive meganekko.
The second episode continues on with the gang staying at the hotsprings, where Yasaka yet again attempts to drag Jun down until she’s bearnaked. Well, it almost worked. After seeing it so much I’m getting kind of sick of the charade. The scene with Yasaka chasing Jun around looked a bit awkward in terms of art and animation, but if you look closely, Jun runs past several School Rumble characters in yukata.
It gets better by episode 3; firstly we have Yayoi finding someone she can connect to… which happened to be a dog. Can’t say I saw that one coming. In the second act, Arashi forgets how she and Yasaka connected and goes back in time to find out. The constant talking of DOING things definitely put a lot of things out of context, but I guess the true reason was Arashi’s ET moment. More accurately, it’s because Yasaka fell in love with her. No kidding? I found scientific Yasaka hilarious though. Using the laws of science and physics he came up with some preposterous things, my favorite being the 10 meter jump explanation.
As much as I liked seeing Jun in a wedding dress, episode 4 went into another phase of “Don’t Let Yasaka Know I’m A Girl.” As I’ve mentioned, I think it’s getting old. I know it’s for comedy purposes, but does Jun really not have any clothes? Besides, why does she have to hide the panties and junk anyway? She could just say it’s her sister’s. The only problem would be the pictures.




























Better late than never, huh?
I haven’t finished Akinai-chuu yet, but as far as the first four episodes are concerned, it’s high on entertainment value. And they did a really hilarious beach episode without focusing much on skin. Most importantly, I loved how they continue to poke fun (so to speak) on Jun’s sexuality. I bet my ass that Jun has already fallen for Hajime.
