Seitokai Yakuindomo begins

This was sudden. Before I took a stock of the situation, I already watched six episodes. And just recently I thought I might quit anime altogether.

I blame the circumstances. I had a training flight cancelled, ostensibly due to thunderstorms, but actually I wasn't feeling well anyway, and so I did not feel like working instead. Thus there was a gap. And although Shingu and Sunred are great and all, rewatching them over and over does get old. So I thought I'd have a short look at what Youtube has to offer... And the rest is history.

My expectations for this show were largely formed by Evirus calling it "crass" with "an element of tenderness", which is what I would call just about everything these days, from Mitsudomoe to Kampfer. The formula works. And Seitokai Yakuindomo certainly delivers. Although, some of the attempts to insert interesting moments between the sex jokes left me very confused. I am talking about the umbrella-sharing segment in particular (ep.4). What were they trying to imply? When Nayuta and Hajime do it, it's understandable. When Tsuda and Prez do... not so much. I suppose the lack of any plot into which these segments can be mapped is what makes the happenings weird.

Another strange thing, I still cannot open Gatakei propely. In 4 attempts, I managed to reach 07:57 into the episode 1. And that's a show that I very much prepared to love. How does that work!
