Photo Kano
I will rate this after I am done with other anime and stuff
I Can Play Games For This Crap
Yup I am done with this one, I just cannot bring myself to watch it anymore. I am not one to not watch an anime just because it feels like a chore, but this one feels like torture. I think it is because all of the emphasis is on how well Maeda has managed to manipulate all the girls around him into private swimsuit photo shoots.
I really think that is the main reason why I will not watch this anime anymore. It is all the time and effort that is spent giving a realistic feel to the camera and the photo shoots the Meada seems to keep on doing. Really that is all there is to this anime. Do not get me wrong that it is all fantastic, but there needs to be more to the story. Especially in a dating sim one.
Again it seems like the writers are making the wonderful mistake of just writing a story and trying to shove all the events for all the girls into the story. Which is just fine in a story where there is only five or six girls tops, but there are like eight or nine in this one and that is just too much. I mean you have to seem him hit a couple of different flags with a bunch of different girls each episode and that just gets annoying. Why can't they follow the example of Amagami SS?
This anime might be tolerable if the main character slowly went through all of the different stories the girls have, that is the main lure of dating games. The fact that all the dating games have lots and lots of different paths which lead down to different roads and all that wonderful stuff. I mean, what the hell, why is it so hard to do something like that. I mean christ you could still have the sexy photo time for each girl, just not all at the same time.
Then there is the fact that the story really makes no sense. I mean suddenly there is this flock of girls always surrounding him. I have never really figured that one out. I mean he is not even doing anything. I guess for some reason the main writer thought that the camera would make the main character some kind of lady magnet? I do not know, it really makes no sense. They try and play him off as an awkward kid, but even still he just seems to constantly have his harem hanging around. Which gets kind of... odd.... I mean I am not one to talk, but still. I do not know, it just gets kind of weird when they try and play everything as so real.
If this was more of a goofy romantic comedy anime I would probably enjoy it more. I mean I would not have waid through all this stupid drama and crap. However, this anime is so incredibly based in reality it is almost depressing. I am all for animes having to follow the laws of physics, but seriously this is too much. I want a little fantasy with my anime. I mean why bother watching anime if it is just going to show me real life?
So yeah I am done with this anime, I cannot deal with it anymore. I just want out, I bet the original game is lots of fun, especially if you can use motion controls to control your photo shoots. However, calling this anime a joke would almost feel like a compliment. So I quit, have a good one anime where there are tons of over endowed girls who just seem to want to be with the one loser in the group because there is more to him than meets the eye. Come back when people start making weird faces and beating the crap out of each other.
