366 Days of Anime School Uniforms: Day 13/366 Chu-Bra

Day 13/366

Chu-Bra is about a young girl who reallllllly likes her panties and bra's...

Girl uniforms are a simple sailor suit but instead of a blue skirt they have green ones. They have a pretty ugly pale yellow long sleeved shirt with a red bow. Great for young girls but I can't see a teenager wanting to wear these uniforms in high school. The boys have yet again a typical all black uniform that looks like every other male outfit in anime. The gym uniforms are actually quite cute though. I like the yellow around the arms, neck, and bottom of their white t-shirts. The red shorts are a good match too. Very childish, but still cute.

 Overall: Mmmm nope don't wanna wear it simply cause I hate this anime.

chii’s Does Not Want List

So since I did a favourite anime of all time list I decided to do a list of anime that just didn't do it for me. Like the favourites, making this list has some requirements. It had to have pissed me off a lot and be bad according to my tastes. I generally let a lot of bad things slide by without much thought so these anime ended up leaving a nasty enough impression on me that just made me not able to forget. I have absolutely NO desire to re-watch any of these shows and I generally can't stand the attention they get from most anime fans. Some are failed potential that betrayed my feelings so much that I just can't let it go and some are sequels that completely let me down.

If one of your favourite anime happens to be on this list do not bother leaving flame comments. It will be deleted. Take note that everyone in this world is completely different and so their tastes are different as well. Some people are more compatible than others. If one anime happens to be a masterpiece for someone could be another's poison. These happen to be my poisons! Like my Favourites List I'll update this one when something decides to be a terrible anime that just has to make the list.

Review of 2010 Anime Part 1 ~Winter~

Like last year I made it a goal to watch everything that aired this year. With a few exceptions of course. Season 2 of shows I haven't seen were counted out and shows that I had seen a lot of but knew I couldn't just stomach anymore. Yup that means no Hidamari Sketch for me this winter! I still can't stand that so many seasons of it are being made... Cobra The Animation was the only other show I didn't watch that aired. It is something I've been wanting to watch for a while and this as certainly bumped it up in my want to watch list. Here we go with Winter's Aired Anime.

Winter actually was a really short season with only 13 shows that aired. Katanagatari started but it only showed one episode per month for the entire year so I don't quite count it. Only 2 shows ended up being 24 episodes (Durarara and Qwaser) and carried onto Spring where all the others were 12-13 episodes. So everything pretty much ended for new spring anime to take over the airwaves.

Winter honestly was a pretty boring season. It had some winners but half my list is on the lower half, out of 10 score wise for only 13 series... Everything was new except for Hidamari Sketch, Cobra, and Heartcatch but since I only started Heartcatch that didn't really matter to me. I was expecting new and fresh from everything but all I got was lame and crappy for the most part.

Katanagatari did something new. Something I haven't ever really seen before. Well in more ways than one honestly. Some of it was cliche like the one episode per sword capture type deal but mostly it was unique. The art and music were amazing and not to mention that you only got one episode per month! That was something special to me. I had always honestly wondered why no one had ever really done a show like that before (There might have been but I'm too lazy to research it) spanning an entire year with 12, 45 minute episodes. Generally I hate shows that have long air dates but Katanagatari was reliable for when it was going to come out. So I knew I would get my show once a month no matter what.

Best Show of winter for me, aside from Katanagatari because that is the winner for overall best anime of 2010 was Durarara. I was looking forward to it from the moment I saw it announced. I watched the first episode and wrote a little something about it and then I actually ended up waiting till it was finished to watch anymore. I'm SO glad I waited too because there's nothing worse than waiting to see one of your favourite shows one episode at a time over many, many weeks. Some people love that but I just can't stand it with something I'm totally into.

Worst Show of winter for me would be Chu-Bra... Even though it's THE only series I have "successfully" blogged all the way through... ._. ...I love panties but not from the eyes of a 12 year old. I'm not even going to chew this anime out anymore. I think I've done that enough already. Urrg.

Here's my big list of Best to Worst shows of winter 2010:

1. Durarara 10/10
2. Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu 8/10
3. Hanamaru Youchien 7/10
4. Sora no Woto 7/10
5. Heartcatch Pretty Cure (still airing) 6/10
6. Seikon no Qwaser 5/10
7. Dance In The Vampire Bund 4/10
8. Ookami Kakushi 4/10
9. Ladies Versus Butlers 4/10
10. Omamori Himari 2/10
11. Chu-Bra 1/10

Surprise enjoyment: Hanamaru Youchien I expected to be just another one of those perverted school kid shows that everyone thinks is cute. It ended up being much, much more.

Surprise fail: Ookami Kakushi I don't even know what that was...

Honorable mentions: Cobra I honestly can't wait to sink my teeth into. I put off watching the new one because I haven't seen the old. This is something I shall be completing in the year to come for sure. Sora no Woto I actually expected to hate a lot more than I ended up. It was total win though. Well not total, it could have been a little less slice of war life like and a little more awesome even though what was there in general was pretty darn awesome. I'm still not sure of my overall thoughts of the show. Heartcatch has brought Pretty Cure back up to my magical girl standards. It was shattered with Fresh last year so I was expecting the worst. Thankfully I got the best. Seikon no Qwaser I think digiboy said it best here "purposefully awesomely bad".

Chu-Bra 12 END

Haruka immediately starts freaking out after she learns that Hayama is leaving. She goes on to say they aren't friends anymore and that it's the end of the underwear club... WTF? Where did all that random anger come from? I understand learning that your best friend is leaving, at that age, is a big thing, but gees talk about blow way out of proportion. So about 15 minutes of the episode is about her being butt hurt about Hayama leaving and how Komachi, Kiyono, and especially Yako can make the girls make up before Hayama leaves for good.

Because of this boring issue we are left with 5 minutes of actual good bye time. Uhhhg. At least that's something to be thankful for right? This episode was a real shitty way to end this series. Not that the series was amazing by any means but I was expecting the last episode to have a laugh or 2 in it like the rest of the series. No laughing here. Well maybe at the end about that Underwear Club  for Men club that Komachi decided to start. XD

Anyway it's never a good sign when the viewer can't wait for the show to be over. I for one am very glad it was only 12 episodes as well. The plot of the show was "unique" in a way but not a very interesting one. (At least for a girl IMO) School clubs can be fun and all but one based around panties and bras is just a little weird for me. I probably wouldn't have been part of it if it was at my school. The subplot was a little more interesting even if you had to dig through the panties to get to it. Growing up is something that everyone has done. Some grow up fast, some slowly, and honestly some never at all. It's something that everyone can relate to and think back to exactly what it was like for them. I know this show did that a little for me, but honestly isn't nothing like the memories that Hanamaru Youchien brings back to my surface. These memories are I suppose a little more depressing in a way. Where Hanamaru Youchien is full of joy and the discovery of being a kid without having to worry about these growing up problems.

The sound and animation were nothing but average to me honestly. The animation was slightly more impressive actually but not all that much. Things were drawn with cute details but I found it to be pretty fuzzy at times. The OP and ED are very forgettable and I couldn't tell you what the music was like throughout the show.

Characters are an on and off thing in Chu-Bra. Some episodes they are interesting and engaging while in others they are stupid and annoying. None of them stood out as being original which is fine and all but it would have been nice. I can't even say any left an impression on me other than Komachi. His struggle with the club, wanting to be first in the school grade wise, and plain old boy issues with panties everywhere was entertaining to watch.

Like I said in my character of the day overall for Komachi I wouldn't suggest watching this anime unless you have watched EVERYTHING else. Even if you are a fan of the genre it probably won't live up to your standards. I struggled to keep watching and boy I was glad when it was over because the enjoyment level just wasn't there for me. If anything go into this anime with no standards and you might be ok. I like panties and all cause everyone has to wear em, but I don't really need or want a 12 year old explaining why these articles of clothing are amazing.

• Story 2/10
• Animation 6/10
• Sound 5/10
• Characters 2/10
• Overall 1/10
