The Comic Artist and His Assistants (TV)

Genres: comedy, slice of life
Themes: ecchi, harem

Plot Summary: With beautiful assistant Sahoto Ashisu aside, mangaka (and cherry boy) Yūki Aito can hardly concentrate on his works, forcing his managing editior Mihari Otosuna to push him (physically) meeting the deadline. With new busty but ditsy Rinna Fuwa and skilled but money-loving Sena Kuroi joining the assistant pool, Yūki's life is more like a harem than a manga studio.
----------------------------------

Episode 1:
Ha, I got some laughs for this. The episode was shorter than the usual 24 minute episodes. Still, it made its point quite well with Aito. Oh and his perverted thoughts....

Anyways, I'll be watching this for the lulz. I wonder how many times the MC will get himself beaten up for saying all the wrong things during the wrong time.

I am glad this is 13 minutes long. I thought it would be a 5 minute show. I loved reading the first season of the manga. Nice to know that Sena will be voiced by the queen of tsunderes.

It sure is weird hearing Yoshitsugu Matsuoka being the boke for once.

Episode 1

Well that was a funny meta look. A part felt like one of the set ups for a certain type of manga. Also kind of think what was going through the minds, of say with Chu-bra, the anime/manga about underwear research.

Episode 2

And of course he gets a slap in the first from spoiler[Ashisu during the flashback scene]. He should of seen that from a mile away. Otherwise, that spoiler[new assistant] is cute.

Awright, the Queen of Tsunderes arrives!

*bows before her majesty*

I haven't really been digging this show too much, but the episodes are a little under 13 minutes so what the hell. However, now that SHE is here, I'll stick around, for sure.

Episode 3

Hmm, there is something familiar about that loli like tsundere personality girl with weak strength and short temper. The character's blonde hair and green eyes make me think of something from Hayate..... maybe the voice actress played a small role in Hayate no Gotoku, I really can't figure it out though. Wink

The candy bit was the best.

Oh this show just cracks me up everyweek. Laughing
The spoiler[porno mag] scene where spoiler[Aito just couldn't dispose of them] was brilliant.

The only problem I have is that when you take away the OP and ED, the shows about 9 minutes long.... I need more than 9 minutes! Lol. Razz

I do like it, but sometimes some of the situations are just stupid rather than funny.

Just something right about a Rie character using spoiler[a whip].

spoiler[New cutie] next week. Man, this is a dumb show. I'm pretty sure if RK wasn't involved I'd have flushed this by now.

Episode 6

I honestly can't think of any episode, of any anime for a while, that made me laugh quite as much as this one did.

Aito makes spoiler['the face' of the season when he's caught snuggling the assistants swimsuits, after they finally decided to let him sleep with them.] Laughing

I also thought the episode flowed much better, only focusing on one story this week.

That was definitely the money shot.

Honestly, what would those girls do without him? They would be boring and bored. I liked the part where they owned up to "not hating" him

Rie Kugimiya character does what a Rie Kugimiya character does, as well as gets what one gets. Branyaa seems to be an actual mascot character.

And spoiler[him being caught] was perfect.
