ANN wrote:When a college dropout stops for a late night bite at a mysterious ramen stand, he crosses paths with a self-proclaimed deity of matrimony. This bizarre meeting sends the young man hurtling through a horrifying flashback to his not-so-glorious college days when the influence of a cruel new friend turned him from a hopeless romantic into a mischievous “black cupid.”


Are you fast readers? If so, check this out. Awesome show. :awesome:

The first episode was pretty exceptional. This has to be one of my faves this season.

yojou han episode 1
In case anyone is curious, it was about 4500 words.
A usual anime episode is more like 2500. Action filled shows with little talking can be less than 1800.


That's a lot of talking. :ying:

It will be nice when this show gets dubbed, I can barely keep up with the subs on this thing >>;

I'm not entirely sure how much I like this show yet, but I do really like the style it has going.

Turns out the director is Masaaki Yuasa, the same guy who did Mind Game, Cat Soup, and Kemonozume. No wonder it's amazing.

I thought that was quite obvious when looking at the art style... :uhoh:

You can't overlook Kaiba when listing Masaaki Yuasa's work, Ish. D;

Ozu, you evil, evil bastard.

Spoiler :
I think I'll be happy with this show even if it doesn't have Akaishi end. The protagonist has yet to prove himself worthy of her. The only thing that would make me rage to infinity would be Ozu + Akaishi end.
