- Walkure, Texas Romanze 01
The PVs had me expecting way more fanservice. There were like, 3 moments of
kinda fanservicy things. I mean, I'm not really a fanservice guy anyway so I kinda like it this way but I mean, Kill La Kill is turning out way more ecchi sketchy than this first episode.
But on to the show.
In the eyes of a shoujo,
The unsuspecting mofo,
Had better know the truth of wrong from right,
Cause the eyes of a shoujo are upon you,
Any wrong you do, she's gonna see,
When you're in Japan look behind you,
Cause that's where the shoujos gonna be.
So, we're clearly being placed in a school anime setting once again, except for some reason everyone is training to joust in a competition. Got it. Hopefully there'll be some exposition in the future as to *why* everyone is a knight in shining boob plated armor, but whatever I'm in this for the Walker Romanze. I think it was apparent quickly enough this is some kinda harem show, and if the existence of a single male in the entire cast wasn't enough to prove that then the OP was!
Our predestined harem lead literally stumbles into the show.
And then our oblivious male harem hero casually walks up to her and doesn't even make a comment about the fact that her panties and bra are visible and barely apologizes for his horny equestrian friend who has a taste for skirts apparently.
Actually, the only knowledge I have of jousting is from A Knight's Tale and that one Medieval Times dinner show. Accordingly, I have never heard of a winning move called "Feather's Fly". I did a quick google search and nothing came up. Maybe one of our resident GAF jousters can clarify what the heck they are talking about in this show lol
All the girls want the B
Mio's sniffing his jacket. I know this is supposed to be cute and things girls are expected to do when they have crushes and stuff but lol they're cutting right to the chase with the wish fulfillment girl idolization of the MC. Way to know your audience!
HAHAHA, she's also a MEIDO. Everything is playing out just perfectly. Why would you choose anybody but her, Takahiro-bro. AND she makes an entire bento box basket brunch for you! Jegus she's like programmed for ultimate waifu-ness. and that girl's name is Ascot. Her name is flipping ASCOT. hahaha I can't take it. and the horse can't keep up with a human running at what's clearly not her top speed. HUH??
Why would you wear what is obviously lingerie under a skirt while you are doing a sport as rigorous and as crotch-chafing as jousting? That's just asking for trouble.
I actually like Mio's voice actress here. She reminds me of that one person who voiced X-J9 in My Life As A Teenage Robot and I loved that voice acting. So hooray, I actually have something of value in watching this show.
Edit: I just found out that Walkure is supposed to really stand for
Valkyrie. Oh well, I'm still going to pretend everyone is a southern girl.
