(Four episodes watched): "Spastic" is the word which came to mind while watching episode one of this show. Action and comedy bounce wildly about (plus a healthy dose of fanservice)--this is definitely radically different from the original Futakoi, which didn't seem to have much other than overflowing cuteness going for it. The animation here is vastly better, including somewhat more detailed character designs. It looked like a winner to me! Having watched a few additional episodes, I am confused... what happened to the wildness of episode one? I was hoping the series as a whole would go that way, but episodes two and three seem drab and uninteresting in comparison--are they trying to parody a different anime genre in each episode? Number four gets back on track with the amusing "Gothiloli Sisters", but I won't dare to guess where things will go from here. Still, I wish a few other shows would be given the "alternate" treatment... Last updated Tuesday, August 15 2006. Created Tuesday, August 08 2006. | ||||||||

Drama : Low Comedy : High Action : HIGH SciFi : Med Ecchi : HIGH (Revised from None! LOL) 8 Episodes Watched Wow this is defintely not Futakoi. Same Characters , Same Voices, but boy is the plot taken a 180. This is all action starring our favorite characters from Futakoi. But add in Excel Saga. I will add parody because all the other main characters are stolen from other Animes. Example the #2 guy in the Gumi (Yakuza) is a dead ringer for Ban Midou from Getbackers and the Lady who bakes croquettes is from GTO or Angel Tales. It's really just a way for the Animators to blow off some of that steam when they made Futakoi and just let the characters go. I'm definitely going to watch this, it should prove a good laugh. Edit : 7/21/05 - Wow I wanna punch the makers of FA! They tell me it's a major action anime and it turns out it's a very good drama! I feel cheated and happy at exactly the same time. UFO did a wonderful job with this. The secret of why Sara and Souju are at Rentaro's is finally out. The saddest story is the one with the teachers Ai and Mai. It was very good and very sad.

With an opening scene reminiscent of Full Metal Panic, the twin middle school amazon warriors, Lulu and Lala are having to defend their airborne AWAC plane from a tentacled marshmellow monster. With skirts flying, they try using fully automatic rifles, 45 pistols, RPGs (in an aircraft?) and even grenades to unsuccessfully stop the monster. With the airplane fully trashed and in flames, they bale out over Japan and parachute down into the city of Futagotomagawa. Rentarou has set up his private detective agency in the city of Futagotomagawa, where he runs his business with the help of two twin high school students. Rentarou has his hands full dealing with an angry Yakuza boss over a little issue of his dead bird. Souju ends up helping out an injured friend by running her croquette shop. Sara decides to accept a new client who is escaping punishment (murder) by a group of gangster debt collectors, who are pounding at the office door. To cover their escape, she sets off a bomb, while she and the client jump out of the second story window and flee on her motorbike. The gangsters set off after them in a screaming car chase, but as her motorbike has a rocket-propelled-ove As this is Futakoi (Twin Love), I am going to suspect that Rentarou is going to have a lot of problems with cute twins in this series. But based on the opening credits and the first episode, they might all be bloodthirsty amazon warriors with special forces training, armed to the teeth with all sorts of nasty and lethal toys. The first episode of this series is pretty funny, with lots of SD characters and scenes. I will say that it is A LOT MORE FUN that the lame first season. Lets see if can keep this tempo, or if it just dies a wimpering death due to a dull story line. Last updated Saturday, April 16 2005. Created Saturday, April 16 2005. | ||||||||
