Anime of the Month
Well, while [patiently] waiting for all 96 episodes of Kenshin-ness to download, and (getting side-tracked with the download of 43 episodes of GTO), I just HAD to watch something to keep me entertained for the time being. After suffering through the confusion and mediocrity that is CLAMP's X TV series, I needed a good laugh.
So what else was I supposed to do, but to turn to Tenshi na Konamaiki (TnK), which is one of the funniest series that I know of. TnK has the weirdest character design, and for the un-acclimated people, the anime looks plain fugly. Anyway, what makes this anime great is its comic timing. If you don't mind the kick-in-the-groin type of humor, you'll find that TnK is funny as hell.
The basic premise of the story is that Megumi, a 9 year-old boy, gets turned into a girl, against his(her) wishes by a magic book. Megumi help an old man, who gave her a magic book. He wished the be the manliest of men, and was turned into an "angelic" girl. (If you ask me, I don't see how anything could look "angelic" with TnK's animation) The anime takes place 6 years later, when Megumi enters high school.
The story revolves around a bunch of Megumi-crazy guys going ga ga over her. It's just so funny because their actions are so over-the-top, and she's still bent on turning back into a guy, so she feverishly tries to ward off all advances.
Anyway, I suck at writing, so I'm not doing TnK any justice by writing any more about it. Here are so screen caps:
The main protagonists of the series: Megumi and Genzo. Genzo is supposed to be a super tough guy who eats gangsters for breakfast.
The 9 year-old Megumi, when he(she) first realized that he(she) had been turned into a girl.
Genzo turns SD when he thinks about his Megumi-chan.
Some of the supporting cast. They're basically perverted retards who contribute to a lot of the comedy.
TnK -- I highly recommend it, based on the 20ish episodes I've watched before. It's my anime of the month, as I'll be watching it during my dinner time for the next two or three weeks.
