Hataage! Kemono Michi (Kemono Michi: Rise Up) Introduction and Story

Tiger-themed pro wrestler Animal Mask is in the middle of his final fight with his greatest rival MAO when he and his cute canine sidekick Hiroyuki are transported into a new world, summoned by Princess Altena. Animal Mask—a.k.a. Genzou Shibata—already had plans for when he won his last fight: to live surrounded by animals. Lucky for him, this world is full of anthropomorphic animals and other half-animal beasts! Appearing before the princess, Altena explains that she has summoned Genzou as a hero to slay the demon beasts in the land which have been causing problems in her kingdom. Unfortunately, what some consider “demon beasts”, Genzou considers the most adorable and huggable creatures! Genzou is not ok with this request and German suplexes Altena, exposing her butt for all to see and then running away with Hiroyuki in his arms. Running around in his wrestler garb (basically a speedo and a mask) and holding a small dog, Genzou manages to shock and terrify most of the locals, who understandably peg him for a weirdo perv. Genzou takes off his mask and encounters a couple of ruffians meaning to rob him—a cat-girl named Misha and Wolfgang, a wolfman—which sends him over the edge with excitement thinking about petting them and touching the catgirl’s ears. After subduing the wolfman with belly rubs, he comes across a wolf-girl being dragged to be sold. Of course, as an animal lover and chivalrous man, Genzou intervenes, which freaks out the man as Genzou is still just in his underwear. Shigure, the wolf-girl, thanks Genzou as he finds out she was not getting kidnapped; she actually owed the man money and agreed to be sold as collateral… She’s a sneaky one that Shigure! Seeing that his dream of being surrounded by animals—or at least demon beasts—is more likely to come true in this world, Genzou decides to befriend and collect animals/demon beasts and open a pet shop! And since there is always work for “demon beast slayers”, he always has the opportunity to meet and love a new furry friend. Of course, anyone who calls him a demon beast “slayer” will face the wrath of Animal Mask and suffer a German Suplex like Altena did.

Why You Should Watch Hataage! Kemono Michi (Kemono Michi: Rise Up)
[sourceLink asin="" asin_jp="" cdj_product_id="KAXA-7843" text="" url="" ]

1. It’s Just Hilarious

From the opening scene where musclebound Animal Mask is in his dressing room pre-fight holding Hiroyuki and daydreaming about being surrounded by animals, Genzou’s love for animals keeps the audience chuckling throughout the season. He falls in love with a married anthropomorphic cat-woman because that is so much better than just cat ears! The constant misunderstandings, random wrestling moves, Wolfgang’s trauma, Genzou’s obsession, and Shigure’s cheekiness are definitely a highlight of Kemono Michi!

2. So Many Cute and Sexy Creatures!

Of course, an anime all about a man obsessed with animals and a world that has lots of demon beasts to slay is full of cute, fuzzy creatures. But not just that. Though Genzou may be more interested in the fluffy Kobold cat-woman, there are many very sexy human and demi-human girls in his harem. There really is something for everybody in this anime! Genzou and MAO are well built, the girls are either cute or sexy, and the animals are super cute. You will not get tired of watching Kemono Michi. Especially with all the suplexes Genzou puts the girls through!

3. It Has an Original Isekai Setting

It seems as though every isekai setting has been done, but an animal-obsessed wrestler transported into a fantasy world filled with animals is definitely a first! Genzou is not generally OP, his only gifts are his physical strength and experience as a wrestler and his ability to overcome any beast he encounters with belly rubs, snacks, love or all of the above! The constant references to wrestling moves and such are a nice bonus for wrestling fans and those just looking for something different alike.

[ad_middle class="mt40"]
Why You Should Skip Hataage! Kemono Michi (Kemono Michi: Rise Up)

1. No Deep, Meaningful Story

Hataage! Kemono Michi is above all a comedy. While there is a storyline and it progresses, it’s more of an episodic, silly romp for the most part. You won’t find much character development or deep social themes. Kemono Michi is just a simple, relaxing, kemonomimi harem anime to make you laugh and enjoy looking at pretty/cute things.

2. Some of the Jokes Can Get Old

While the comedy is good, there are plenty of running gags that may feel a bit repetitive after a while. For example, every time that Genzou is referred to as a “demon beast slayer” someone gets suplexed; Wolgang develops PTSD after his first encounter with Genzou and so every time he sees him he either runs and hides or is pinned by belly rubs again; and since Genzou doesn’t care for regular, non-fuzzy humans, he’s constantly annoyed by or suplexing those around him that don’t fit the criteria.


Final Thoughts

Isekai is definitely not a new genre and it’s getting to the point where some anime fans even overlook anything isekai related. KonoSuba was one of the first titles to parody the genre and make it hilarious, Kemono Michi: Rise Up follows its footsteps well and adds its own twist to the new-world ridiculousness. If you like comedy, silly harems, and kemonomimi, you will enjoy Hataage! Kemono Michi. Even more so if you’re a fan of wrestling! Did you watch Kemono Michi? Is Genzou your husbando? Who’s your favorite character? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below! Nya~!

Discussion Time

The ending of chapter 117 of Ao no Exorcist shouldn’t be surprising, as we know the inevitable fate for these characters, but for some reason…it still was a shock to read. Our chapter begins with Shiro still being possessed by Satan and trying to show how much he changed to love a human. However, as Yuri points out, some actions aren’t human and prove our main devil lord is just a monster. Yuri’s actions cause Shiro to regain control of his body as Satan leaves it but, of course, this doesn’t mean the exorcists are okay with allowing events like this to happen again. Yuri is to be executed for bearing Satan’s kids and the two boys are to be observed by the committee to ensure their powers don’t ever go out of control. Despite being an exorcist himself, Shiro doesn’t take kindly to possibly losing his love Yuri and betrays the group by pointing his weapon at them and escaping. The Grigori—the older lady who wished for the actions above—makes a haunting claim as the other exorcists are to not follow Shiro and his love…Yuri is going to die even without their action. We then see Shiro lead Yuri out and the two head towards a secret hideout he made from an abandoned tower. Despite feeling ill, Yuri names both of the children—Rin and Yukio—and tries her best to give them a motherly embrace for as long as she can. We say that because as the Grigori predicted, Yuri’s body gives out as they trek through the snow-filled landscape and eventually perishes as she hopes Shiro will be the children’s father as best as possible. Shiro doesn’t have much time to mourn as a Yeti appears and attacks him. Now near death, Shiro is left dying in the snow thinking he was more of a monster than the ones he has faced. Our 117th chapter ends on a defeated Shiro and we now are left to wonder…what next!?!? How will Shiro be saved and what leads him to truly becoming a father for these two demon-like children? We once more must wait a month for the next chapter but, like always, this gives us a chance to explain why you must read this chapter of Ao no Exorcist right this second! Well…after you read our review, obviously!

Why You Should Read Ao no Exorcist (Blue Exorcist) Chapter 117
[sourceLink asin="" asin_jp="" cdj_product_id="" text="viz" url="https://www.viz.com/read/manga/blue-exorcist-volume-21/product/5779" ]

1. An Unsurprising Death

Rin and Yukio’s mother we knew was going to die but seeing it occur made this unsurprising event still pretty powerful. Yuri wasn’t a mother for long but even in her short time as one, she gave the two kids their names—with some silly thought behind them—and even tried to feed the kids with her last remaining strength. Yuri was a mom for maybe several minutes—probably longer in the world of Ao no Exorcist—but in our minds, she was a great one.

2. Monsters in Human Form

Satan may have taken human form by possessing Shiro’s body, but that didn’t mean his actions were human. Likewise, Shiro felt he was a monster due to his inability to save Yuri and be just a bit kinder towards the woman he loved. Ao no Exorcist has always been about monsters and those who fight them but this chapter shows being a monster doesn’t always mean you need horns and fire…sometimes being a monster just means your actions counter the humanity within you.


Final Thoughts

Ao no Exorcist 117 was powerful and that’s surprising to us. Usually, when you know the plot of a story and know how things will turn out, the impact ends up being less powerful. That wasn’t the case with this amazing chapter as we knew how the bigger picture would form but seeing it form was the shock to our systems. Did you feel the same as us? Comment below with your thoughts on chapter 117! Be sure to keep stuck to our hive for even more Ao no Exorcist chapter reviews done by us here at Honey’s Anime!

KurtzPel - Fallen Light

[en]What You Need to Know: [/en][es]Lo que necesitas saber: [/es]

  • KOG Games today announced the launch of a new karma (weapon) called Fallen Light. The new weapon is a magic cannon named "Elemental Buster" and takes on the role of a long-range magic slayer. Unlike other long-range Karmas, this Karma does not gain any auto-targeting assistance, and all shot projectiles will follow the player's aim. Fallen Light also utilizes a new resource called "Magic Bullet" which can be used to enhance skills or deliver a stronger attack.
  • With the addition of a new karma, some changes are being made to the Karma system. Chasers will now be able to acquire Dual Soul and Sacred Guardian Karma with significantly reduced CP (in-game currency). The max growth of Karma will be increased from three to five and new skills will be taught through the new Karma UI instead of NPCs; chasers will be able to learn new skills and abilities by leveling up their karma.
  • There are other large changes coming to KurtzPel in this update, which we'll highlight below.

[en]Source: [/en][es]Fuente: [/es]Official Press Release

PVP Season 2 Changes

In order to judge the Chaser's ability on many different aspects of PVP, Chasers will no longer be able to select certain modes when matchmaking. However, once matched with opponents, players will be able to change their weapon and skills before the match starts. Before, players were afraid of their ranks decreasing during the season and stopped doing Official Probatio after reaching a certain rank. From Season 2, players will be rewarded based on the highest ranking achieved during the season, so you no longer need to be afraid of ranking down and can continue to try your best to achieve the highest rank. As fun as it is to rank up to a higher rank, many players felt frustrated whenever they lost. In order to assist with this, points lost upon losing a match will decrease and the number of stages required to rank up will be decreased to 3 instead of 5. PVP Missions will no longer be separated by Practice and Official Probatio. Instead, they will now be separated to Duel Mission and Challenge Missions. Duel Missions will match players from 3 to 5 Vs, and there will be no rank decreases if a match is lost. However, because of that, players will only be able to reach up to Rank A in this mode. New 5 vs 5 Maps will be added to enjoy PVP with more Chasers at once. In order to accommodate the large-scale battle, the 5 vs 5 maps will be bigger and Conquest Mode map will have 2 Capture Points. There will be a total of 2 Deathmatch and 1 Conquest Maps for 5 vs 5.

PVE Changes

PVE will be separated in to 3 different modes: Patrol: You and 2 other allies will fight a random humanoid monster Annihilation: You and 3 other allies will fight multiple random monsters Raid: You and 5 other allies will fight a designated boss monster.

New Items

A Season Pass has been added to the existing Season Level system. When the Battle Pass is activated, players will receive additional rewards while also receiving the rewards for Season Level. The Season Pass will provide greater rewards than the purchase price such as Season Pass Exclusive Costumes and Weapons. Other new items include: Magic Stone allows players to apply stats to Weapon and Costumes Settia Costume (Invisible Costume) for Shirt and Pants Character Name Change Ticket Character Appearance Change Ticket Basic Motion Change Item Players will now acquire different items from extracting items. All existing Essence items will be removed and automatically exchanged for the new items. See here for more details.

System Changes

Eltheca has undergone a visual revamp. A new inventory function and UI will be added so players can check all their items. A mailbox system will be added to be used for event rewards and compensations. A new currency, called DP, will be added and will be received by clearing missions. A new shop that uses CP will be added. A new in-game cash shop that uses KP will be added. To learn more about the changes coming in 2020, visit the KurtzPel Steam page.

Yakusoku no Neverland (The Promised Neverland) Chapter 163 Manga Review – “So Close…”

Discussion Time

Yakusoku no Neverland truly knows how to hit the reader in the gut! In this 163rd chapter, our two good demons have succeeded in reviving one of the elders via Mujika’s blood. After hearing the situation, the elder quickly agrees to help Sonju and Mujika but a problem soon arises destroying their plan. A big ceremony has commenced in the town square and the demon public learns of their queen’s demise. Making matters worse, this demon speaker seems to already have a new set of laws and is quick to announce that those who seemed responsible for the queen’s death are to be killed! At the center of it all, a human stands watching as his plan unfolds and most will probably realize this most likely is Peter Ratri. As those responsible face possible annihilation, Sonju and Mujika are also shown as culprits and find themselves forced to run as fast as possible to somehow escape! Our duo doesn’t make it far, though, and are captured by demon soldiers, leaving their fate in the hands of a new order…the situation has indeed turned quite dire folks. Will our demons survive this ordeal and get the elders to somehow change the current demon way? We thought Neverland was closer to a change but chapter 163 of Yakusoku no Neverland has made us question everything. Here’s hoping for a miracle in the next chapter of Yakusoku no Neverland but until chapter 164 drops, let’s examine further what we loved about chapter 163!

Why You Should Read Yakusoku no Neverland (The Promised Neverland) Chapter 163
[sourceLink asin="" asin_jp="" cdj_product_id="" text="viz" url="https://www.viz.com/read/manga/promised-neverland-volume-12/product/6058" ]

1. SO DARN CLOSE!!!

Sonju and Mujika were able to revive one of the elders proving Sonju’s thoughts on Mujika’s blood to be spot on! The duo even had the elder agree to help them change the world by creating a new system for the demons to follow! Now, our two heroes have been caught and their situation couldn’t look direr! Let us pray our two demon allies don’t perish in the upcoming chapters!

2. Peter’s Game

The Ratri clan has quiet for some time in the Yakusoku no Neverland series…at least we thought they were being quiet. If chapter 163 has taught us anything it would be that Peter seems to have had this game all planned out. Like Norman, Peter Ratri seems to have a broader picture in his mind of how things should play out. The only question we have now is what will Peter do with his newfound demon ruling?


Final Thoughts

Even if it has been a few weeks since chapter 162, this latest chapter of Yakusoku no Neverland hasn’t missed a beat. Just when things looked up for our heroes, they now are captive and could face death by the demons being controlled by Peter Ratri. Will our human kids face a similar fate or can they stop the demons at their old home? Comment below with some theories as we’d love to hear if they match ours! For even more Yakusoku no Neverland be sure to keep stuck to our glorious hive here at Honey’s Anime!

Since Ao thinks that anyone who learns about her father is going to assume that Ao is at least somewhat like her pornographic papa, Ao's solution is to just not talk to other people, especially boys. All she wants to do is study and get good grades so she can go to a school far away from her family. And that's why Takumi Kajima is driving her crazy! He keeps trying to talk to her, distracting her, and causing her to think about the kind of things she'd rather not think about… which is why, suddenly, AO-CHAN CAN'T STUDY!

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate – Mr. Sakurai Presents "Byleth"

[en]What You Need to Know: [/en][es]Lo que necesitas saber: [/es]

  • Combat class is in session! Byleth, the renowned mercenary and professor from the Fire Emblem series, is ready to teach Super Smash Bros. Ultimate players a lesson in battle. In a video released today, Masahiro Sakurai, the director of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, unveiled for the first time the battle-hardened Fire Emblem character in action, who will enter the arena on Jan. 28 as the game’s newest fighter. Sakurai demonstrated Byleth’s unique ranged play style, and revealed the Garreg Mach Monastery stage and 11 new music tracks from the Fire Emblem series, all coming to the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate game for the Nintendo Switch system later this month.
  • All of this new content will be available to players who own the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Fighters Pass or purchase Challenger Pack 5 separately.* In addition to Byleth’s reveal, new details were announced about the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Fighters Pass Vol. 2, which will include six more fighters currently under development. By purchasing Fighters Pass Vol. 2 for a suggested retail price of $29.99, players will get access to six more yet-to-be-announced Challenger Packs as they release. Each pack includes one new fighter, one stage and multiple music tracks. Those who purchase Fighters Pass Vol. 2 will also receive an exclusive costume for Mii Swordfighter, the Ancient Soldier Gear from the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild game, available in-game starting Jan. 28.
  • Byleth joins the ranks as the 80th legendary video game character included as a playable fighter in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, which features the biggest crossover of video game characters in history. Drawing upon Byleth’s chivalric exploits, their inclusion in the roster will change the tide of every battle they appear in, with clever strategic choices motivating each defensive posture and offensive attack in their move set. With a sword, axe, lance and bow in hand, prevailing in combat will often come down to selecting the right moments to hold ground or advance.
  • Byleth’s accompanying stage, the Garreg Mach Monastery, also features a variety of cameos from popular characters in the Fire Emblem series, including Edelgard from the Black Eagles, Claude from the Golden Deer and Dimitri from the Blue Lions.
  • Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will also receive a new Spirit Board, which features some of the other popular characters from the Fire Emblem series, along with a new classic mode route, “A Heroic Legacy,” which highlights classic Fire Emblem stages throughout the series’ storied history.
  • Additionally, new Mii Fighter costumes inspired by Cuphead, Rabbids, Altair and various Mega Man games will be available for purchase on Jan. 28. Players who purchase the Cuphead Mii Fighter costume will also receive a new music track, Floral Fury, which was originally featured in the game’s classic Cagney Carnation boss battle.
  • Finally, two fighters from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will have amiibo figures available for purchase at select retailers beginning on Jan. 17: Samus’s mysterious doppelganger, Dark Samus, and Simon Belmont’s whip-wielding echo fighter, Richter.
  • Additional new fighters, stages and music will also be coming to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate through the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Fighters Pass Vol. 2. Players can also continue to purchase the current Fighters Pass for a suggested retail price of $24.99 to gain access to the first five Challenger Packs. Playable fighters Joker, Hero, Banjo & Kazooie and Terry Bogard are all available now, with Byleth joining on Jan. 28. For only $5.99, players can also purchase the packs individually.

Ohayocon 2020 Post-Show Field Report

$

0

Website: ohayocon.org As a new decade dawns upon us, Ohayocon is ready to celebrate in style! This anime convention draws over 20,000 people to Columbus, Ohio to revel in all things nerdy for one fun-filled weekend in the doldrums of winter. We were on the scene for all three days of the con, so let’s see what Ohayocon had to offer this year!

Basic Info

When it was Established January 2001
Length of Event 3 days, January 10 – 12, 2020
Location Greater Columbus Convention Center in Columbus, OH
COST If you pre-register early enough, you can get a weekend pass for as little as $45. At the door, it’s $70 and cash only. Single-day passes are in the range of $20-40.
Hotels The convention center is physically connected to three hotels—the Hyatt Regency (where Ohayocon has a block of rooms), the Drury Inn & Suites, and the Hilton. But since it’s located downtown, there are other options nearby such as the Red Roof Inn Plus.
Event Message for Attendees Explore the natural beauty of anime with your cure for the wintertime blues!

What to Expect

Ohayocon has taken place annually for almost 20 years now so it’s a well-oiled machine at this point. Panel rooms are clearly marked, the scheduling app works well, and Accessibility Services makes sure that those with disabilities can easily navigate the spacious convention center. The venue itself has a food court with a variety of options, a convenience store stocked with any items you may have left behind (such as scissors for opening figure boxes or earplugs for that roommate who snores), and on-site police officers to make sure everything goes smoothly. If you have the energy to venture outside the convention center, Ohio’s capital city of Columbus is well worth exploring. Just across the street from the Hilton is North Market, an indoor food hall with warm bowls of ramen that can bring you back to life after a crazy weekend. And if you’re a crafter, the Joann Fabrics at Polaris Towne Center is one of the largest in the country and features an area to test drive sewing and embroidery machines!

What to Bring

Donations for the Manga Library – Ohayocon’s Manga Library and Maker Lab is only in its second year of operation, so its collection is pretty tiny. But if you have manga volumes, light novels, DVDs, or other nerdy literature lying around, you can donate it to the library in exchange for discounts on your next badge. With enough donations, you might even be able to get a free badge for next year! Ribbons to Trade – The ribbon game is a fun little “sidequest” that’s been popping up at conventions in recent years, and this is the first time it’s been listed as an official event at Ohayocon. You can design and order small badge ribbons to trade with other attendees, competing to get the most ribbons possible. And even if you don’t have the time or money to order ribbons, passing out small trinkets with your Instagram handle on them is a great way to participate in the game and spread your brand at the same time! Emergency Rations – Cons tend to be frenetic affairs, so normal routines for eating and sleeping get tossed out the window in favor of going hard all weekend long so you don’t miss any of the fun. However, you still need to eat, and the food court is often crowded, so it’s a smart idea to bring along “emergency rations” like protein bars and fruit for those times when you can’t spare a minute to sit down. Make sure these snacks are healthy, or else you’ll suffer from a sugar crash later on.

What to Do While There/What is Available

Dealer’s Room/Artist’s Alley – Our favorite part of any anime convention is the dealer’s room, where you can purchase all manner of nerdy figures, art, clothing, and assorted trinkets from your favorite series. One of the standouts this year was Ohio Kimono, which partnered with The Kawaii-est Little Stationery Store to bring a smorgasbord of imported Japanese and Korean paper products—the art nouveau-style stickers, in particular, are so gorgeous that it’s a wonder how affordable they are. Sorbet Jungle also made an adorable impression with its food/animal-themed products, our favorite being a set of “Crononana” plushies dangling from a banana hook that each come with their own adoption ceremony and certificate.

[sourceLink asin="" asin_jp="" cdj_product_id="" text="Blue Eclipse Drag Performance (@theartistisme)" url="" ]

Oriana Péron’s Drag Race and Show – Oriana Péron is an Indiana-based drag queen who hosts LGBT-themed panels and events at conventions throughout the Midwest. One of her more low-key affairs is a queer roundtable where anyone in the room can share their coming out stories or ask questions in a safe space. But if you want the full-on sequin-y experience, make sure you attend her drag race (a game show modeled after Ru Paul’s Drag Race) and the drag show (where local entertainers perform in cosplay). Blue Eclipse, the winner of the drag race, brought the house down with a strong performance as Lio Fotia from Promare! Caleb Hyles Sing-Along – YouTube singer Caleb Hyles is known for his Disney and anime covers, as well as his infectiously positive personality. His Saturday concert was a hit, but his Sunday sing-along warmed our hearts to the core. Karaoke can be stressful for introverts, so Caleb picked two fans from the audience to sing with him for each song and displayed the lyrics for everyone else. Even though the whole crowd was tired, we all joined in for a rousing rendition of “I’ll Make a Man Out of You” to close out the panel.

Cosplay

[sourceLink asin="" asin_jp="" cdj_product_id="" text="1920s Jessie from Pokemon (@knockynocturne)" url="" ]
[sourceLink asin="" asin_jp="" cdj_product_id="" text="Lilith from Neon Genesis Evangelion (@flint_locke)" url="" ]

Since the new 20s began this year, Ohayocon got everyone in the spirit by theming itself as a celebration of the 1920s. We saw flappers, bootleggers, and other 20s-inspired versions of popular characters throughout the convention, some presented with a surprising amount of historical accuracy. Standbys like Boku no Hero Academia and Steven Universe ruled the halls and photoshoot areas, while a few retro shows like Fruits Basket finally saw some representation again due to their recent reboots. For pure craftsmanship and creativity, we have to single out Flint_locke for their stunning Lilith from Neon Genesis Evangelion. It’s a wonder how they managed to move at all in that get-up, but it was definitely worth it!


Final Thoughts

This mid-sized anime convention is the perfect escape from the post-holiday wintertime blues. Whether you’re here to cosplay, meet voice actors, play arcade games, or just people watch, Ohayocon is the nerdy getaway you can’t afford to miss! What did you think of our overview? Have you ever attended Ohayocon? What were your favorite events and cosplays this year? Let us know in the comments, and thanks so much for reading!

Pakopako Bitch has a story that is a bit silly and will remind you of most isekai out there. The protagonist plays a game that is rumored to transport him to another world and it works. There he is placed in a dungeon with a busty prostitute and begins to have fun with her. After he is done telling her about her measurements he takes out his dick for a blowjob. Saiha then crudely takes his dick into her mouth and begins sucking him off until he explodes feeling her throat with cum. Before long the charter even finds himself using her nipple rings to tug on. This leads to tons of pleasure for Saiha. The rest of the manga focuses on the two having plenty of sex.

This story revolves around a man who gets a surprise proposition from a girl. He simply has to pay her a modest sum and they can have sex. This one time jerk-off soon turns into a bit more when the couple heads back to school. When the protagonist returns to school he is handed a list of prices from his classmate. After deciding what he wants to order off the menu, he pays for a blow job. As the story progresses the man starts paying for more and more services each day. He even ends up having a blowjob while she is dressed in skimpy outfits. As it turns out though, having sex with this girl is going to cost him quite a bit of money.

Ore wo Suki nano wa Omae dake ka yo (ORESUKI Are you the only one who loves me?) Introduction and Story

Ore wo Suki nano wa Omae dake ka yo—simplified to ORESUKI—follows the tale of a young high school student named Amatsuyu Kisaragi, or Joro as his friends call him. Joro has plenty of friends; from his bubbly childhood friend Hinata Aoi to his baseball hopeful best friend Taiyou Ooga or better known as Sun-chan. What Joro lacks is a girlfriend and that has made him believe he’s not the main star of this series—ORESUKI breaks the fourth wall a lot—to his dismay. However, one day during school, Joro is asked out by the student council president—Sakura “Cosmos” Akino—and Hinata! On different days Joro meets the two thinking these are dates but quickly learns the girls don’t want Joro but instead have their sights on Joro’s best friend Sun! Due to his kindness—Joro’s one major weakness—he decides to help both girls try to win Sun’s heart but quickly learns something is amiss about this whole situation! During his attempts at manipulating his friends—for various reasons we won’t spoil—Joro meets one more girl named Sumireko Sanshokuin—nicknamed Pansy—who has been watching (stalking) Joro for some time. Pansy then reveals to our secondary character that she is not in love with his best friend but loves him! ORESUKI then ends up becoming a strange web of love as various characters reveal their feelings for one another—Sun reveals to Joro that he likes Pansy and the girls begin falling for Joro—making this tale into a comedy unlike many others. Joro’s life gets even rougher as more women are added to his group of potential girlfriends and we begin to learn of nefarious plots from each girl to capture his heart. We won’t spoil the later episodes of ORESUKI—as you need to watch them for maximum enjoyment—but we will say this…ORESUKI becomes a series where love is indeed more painful than any other emotion to be had! Can Joro find his true destined love or will he fail and lose the true love of his life?

Why You Should Watch Ore wo Suki nano wa Omae dake ka yo (ORESUKI Are you the only one who loves me?)
[sourceLink asin="" asin_jp="" cdj_product_id="ANZB-13301" text="" url="" ]

1. Harem Comedy at Its Finest

One of the best elements of ORESUKI hands down is how comedic each episode is from the first episode to the last. From simple ecchi comedy to the reappearance of a notorious bench—which some have dubbed as Bench-kun—ORESUKI nails the harem comedy without missing a beat. Never did we sigh or grow annoyed seeing similar jokes replayed as ORESUKI rarely relies on the same gag more than a handful of times.

2. Serious but Not Melodramatic

A big flaw of comedy like ORESUKI is when it tries to delve into the more serious tones. Thankfully, this series rarely ever felt melodramatic. ORESUKI explores friendships that are corrupted due to sharing a love for the same person and it never feels over the top or groan-inducing. ORESUKI stays close to the comedy element to avoid that unnecessary pitfall a lot of series fall into when trying to be drama-oriented.

3. Lovable Cast

From our main man Joro to the stalker-like Pansy, there isn’t a single character in ORESUKI that isn’t well done. Even Joro’s later possible love interests don’t end up getting underdeveloped but instead, fulfill their roles perfectly and only add more characters to laugh with. Most comedy series like ORESUKI have one character that makes you write ten-page long forum posts on—we’ve all done it—but this series isn’t one of them and that is truly an impressive feat.

[ad_middle class="mt40"]
Why You Should Skip Ore wo Suki nano wa Omae dake ka yo (ORESUKI Are you the only one who loves me?)

1. Needs More Ecchi?

This is going to sound strange but ORESUKI actually could have used a bit more fan service in our minds. There’s a joke in the earlier episodes where the series breaks the fourth wall and makes the statement that it used fan service to grab viewers but as the series progresses, the fan service kind of just goes away. Yes, you’ll get the occasional panty shot—usually from Joro’s childhood friend Aoi—but if you were tricked and wanted more fan service from ORESUKI, you might be a bit disappointed.

2. Ho Hum Animation

In our honest opinions, we don’t usually connect harem/romance/ecchi series with good animation. That being said, ORESUKI looks just okay and it feels more like an older series. The character models/expressions are perfectly fine but other elements such as the set pieces and more dramatic events don’t ever look that great. ORESUKI is an amazing series but the animation isn’t anything to write home about.

3. That Ending…

Alright, here’s where we will avoid spoiling ORESUKI completely but still talk about the ending a bit. ORESUKI’s ending eludes to a sequel or possible OVA but the way the episode ends is frustrating. We can’t argue it is going against the way the series is—as it again breaks the fourth wall to tell us this isn’t over—but having Joro possibly losing his “challenge” for Pansy’s heart just as the end credits hit leaves a sour taste in our mouths. Was it a horrible ending? No, it truly wasn’t a bad ending. Just don’t expect for the series to end on the same note as it began and expect that cliffhanger to hit you…hard!


Final Thoughts

[sourceLink asin="" asin_jp="" cdj_product_id="VVCL-1548" text="" url="" ]

Ore wo Suki nano wa Omae dake ka yo reminded us of how funny harem-like series with romance/drama can be even now in 2019! With a strong cast, some laugh-out-loud moments and a truly great style, ORESUKI is a series we could watch again in a few months and find those same scenes just as funny later. If the series gets a proper season 2—or maybe OVA series—we will say ORESUKI is near-perfect but as is, ORESUKI just comes short of perfection thanks in large part to its ending. Still, we highly suggest checking out this wonderful anime by studio Connect and know many of you guys/girls will not be disappointed! For those who already have seen ORESUKI, comment below what you thought of the series! If you enjoyed this anime review we have plenty more to check out here at Honey’s Anime!

Are eSports a Fad? Or Is It Here to Stay?

25 years ago, people who enjoyed playing video games most likely dreamed of doing it for a living (most likely as a game tester), but the idea of competitive gaming being the equivalent to mainstream sports seemed impossible in those days. In the modern world, a teenager can win $3,000,000 in a Fortnite tournament thanks to the rise of eSports. As of 2015, “eSports” has become part of the mainstream lexicon. eSports are now influential to the point that it has been affected by political events (such as the Hong Kong protests), and it’s getting ESPN coverage! Naturally, eSports (as it was with poker, spelling bees, and mixed martial arts) has had its share of criticism regarding whether or not it should be considered a sport. While we’re not exactly here to argue whether or not eSports are an athletic competition, some would wonder if eSports events are just a fad, or are they here to stay?

Spectacle

Long before EVO (a competition for fighting games), League of Legends, Starcraft, and Overwatch, video game competitions still existed. Heck, there was even a movie about old school eSports called The Wizard, where a boy wins a Nintendo competition. As a matter of fact, The Wizard was inspired by the Nintendo Challenge Championship competitions that were initially held in Canada. However, those competitions were more akin to spectacles, as opposed to what we now call eSports. While players today can win anywhere between six- or seven-figure cash prizes in a Blizzard or Fortnite competition, in Nintendo’s first Worldwide Championship in 1990, first prize winners only got $250! Even before the Nintendo Worldwide Championship, there were other video game competitions dedicated to Space Invaders, Donkey Kong, and other arcade classics. In the early half of the 1990s, there were even game shows dedicated to video games such as Nick Arcade and the second season of Video Power. Of course, these were just for the fun of it and not intended to be something like a traditional sporting event. Since video game competitions were already in practice prior to modern-day eSports, it’s a sign that they’re by no means merely a fad.

South Korea

If we have anyone to thank for building eSports as we see it now, it certainly has to be South Korea due to their aggressive plans in providing quality internet connection. As a result of their net café culture that started at the turn of the millennium, eSports got its modern-day start as gamers there enjoyed competing in Starcraft. As those competitions instantly grew, the South Korean government began its own sanctioning body for such events. In recent years, other nations have started to recognize eSports competitors as legitimate athletes. The US has been issuing visas that are intended for athletes to eSports participants and Turkey’s Ministry of Youth and Sports issue licenses to such players as well. If it wasn’t for South Korea’s instant involvement in recognizing and officially sanctioning eSports, it would have probably taken another 10 or 20 years to get to where it is now. Even 20 years later, South Korea continues to be one of the leading nations in eSports.

Internet

As an extension to South Korea’s contributions, without the internet, eSports wouldn’t be where it is today. The internet has done an effective job of connecting gamers and helping amateur players organize their own personal events so they can hone their skills and still have fun. Not only do PCs and mobile devices have internet access, so do modern consoles, which allows the sport to grow. As long as the world has the internet, where players can connect, eSports are here to stay.


Final Thoughts

[sourceLink asin="" asin_jp="" cdj_product_id="X4ZP-8" text="" url="" ]

As crazy as it sounds, the rise of eSports parallels the rise of mixed martial arts in North America in many unique ways. It’s ironic we bring this up because Chatri Sityodtong, CEO of the ONE FC MMA organization, is also promoting eSports. They both originated as novelty events, and not something in which its participants could pursue as a full-time career. As stated earlier, the cash prize for the first Nintendo World Championship was $250 (which equates to nearly $500 after inflation). How does this relate to MMA? For starters, did you know that former UFC Champion Forrest Griffin only made $100 in his debut fight? These days, athletes in both sports can get wild sponsorship deals and bigger cash prizes now that they have progressively grown and gained mainstream acceptance thanks to proper sanctioning and fan support on the internet. Like MMA, eSports are still in their infancy and here to stay. Just how other sports have their legends such as Michael Jordan, Muhammed Ali, Babe Ruth, Pele and so on, eSports also has their share of them. In the world of Street Fighter, there’s Daigo Umehara and thanks to him and many others, eSports are going to be around for a long time as they not only impress fans but bring in new ones as well. Considering how fast eSports has found ways to get organized and maintain its presence, it’s here to stay. Even if Overwatch and League of Legends lose their popularity, there will always be new games to take their place and keep eSports fresh.
