Ōkami-san & Her Seven Companions (TV).

Okay I give up. I can't figure out who the maid and wizard chick are suppose to parody. Also the president and vice-president, I guess Alice is suppose to be Alice in wonderland at some point but I'm also guessing they are also suppose to be that tale about the ant and the grasshopper? I'm basing that off of the ending credits for that one.

Also Blood-, I believe episode 2's tale was an inversion of the wolf in sheep's clothing fable. In this case its a sheep in wolf's clothing with the sheep being Okami; given how the narrator kept talking about clothing or skin or whatever. Then phobia guy being the hunter from all the stories like someone already pointed out. Episode 3 is a that tale about Urashima Taro and the turtle princess thingy as well as the tortoise versus the hare if all the visualizations weren't clear enough. I liked how Taro didn't end up being the "unfatihful flirt" guy you'd assume he would have been.

I'm enjoying the series. I don't think its a big a disappoint as people are making it out to be. I think its well done. Not "best of season" level but still a good series so far. I enjoyed the narrator in ep. 3 too. She wasn't as intrusive as she was in ep. 2. It's been a pretty fun series to watch so far. And its kind of funny the episode Terrier appreciated the most so far is the heavy fanservice one. But story-wise it was nice how they worked in the fairy tale element with the character development and backstory.

Also does the ending song remind anyone else of Ranma 1/2 style endings?

Truthfully, I still don't know why a "mad scientist" or maid are even in a show like this. One, I don't know who they are parodying and two it just doesn't make much sense. I get that the maid is there to help out with the tea and snacks, but the mad scientist seems really out of place.

I know the main character has to fight people, but making new inventions and improving them seems to fit a action show, not really a slice of life show. Granted, I like the two better than the narrator (please, for the love of cheese and the show, talk only once in a while.) and the miniature Ringo (the mother in law types get really annoying quick.)

Oh well, I still enjoy the series, it's not masterpiece quality, but it is better than the other shows that came out this year and isn't at all creepy.

Episode 4 was pretty good, I had a few good laughs and it was good for back story stuff on the maid of the group Otsuu.

I found the Hansel and Gretel bit funny, wounder if we are going to get a episode with them down the line?

Over all I liked the fact by the end of the episode Otsuu changed a little, or at least now thinks of the group as friends / companions and not people to return favors to. Everyone in maid outfits wasn't bad ether.

Well I am still enjoying the series so far, though I do keep getting the feeling that there is just one thing missing from makeing this a "great" anime, but can't quite pick it. Though I am still enjoying it and I look forward to it.

I am also quite enjoying the character Ringo now, I guess I enjoyed the fact she knew spoiler[all about the books, and the effort she put in. And that she Ookami is more innocent then her.]

Also I think we might have seen some more dere dere, though it is still funny in that a lot of the scenes where she is doing something she doesn't like, you can see a constant angry face, feels refreshing or something.

It is much easier now that I understand what everyone is meant to be from, especially when I can pick it out in the ED song, and the fact I knew Otsuu's made it easier in this episode.

The maid thing was enjoyable, spoiler[the slamming of the door did remind me of when Toma did it to alternate Index, but I probably shouldn't contribute that laugh.]

On the subject of Hansel and Gretel, I first spoiler[was thinking "aren't they brother and sister, and of course they were 8O .]

I totally thought the spoiler[ author of the books would be a lady in her 40's-60's that would be a very kind old woman but would also know that Ookami was interested in Ryoushi. Didn't expect her to be his aunt, much less the author. Much less did I expect her to have a husband. ]
