At first glance, one might expect ESUMI Fuuka to be a high school student or perhaps even a college student. She is tall, with flowing hair, long legs and a full figure. But she is really just an elementary school student and she behaves like one - with no understanding of what boys are really like. And then she has to move into Jiro’s house. Jiro is just a normal sexually frustrated teenaged boy who finds himself having to put up with the antics of a young girl - who does NOT look her age.

Animation by Studio Pierrot.

I picked this one up hoping for some humor and silly antics, especially after reading the synopsis. However, there wasn't much of it....

Art, Animation & Character Designs
Artwork shows it's age. Character designs weren't great and lacked details. Was it me, or did the artwork seem too low of a budget production.

Music
The OP was a catchy piece with female vocals..... but a short one. The soundtrack mostly consisted of some light background music that sounded like something from old 80's or 90's sitcoms.

Series and Episode Story
Every episode of this series opens up to a shower scene with Yoko's naken boobs. This series doesn't shy from serious fan service. Even though Yoko is suppose to be an elementary girl, her body is all woman. So aside from the gratuitious nudity and suggestive scenes, we actually have a surprisingly enjoyable (slightly) series with silly moments and antics.

Overall, it's barely a watch. I think it's the fact that the series focuses too much on fan service and not enough on the story.

(Three episodes watched):

Have I missed an episode? Episode one doesn't seem to offer much of an explanation of how Fuuka wound up with an adult body. That's kind of unnerving, because this show is perverted to hell and back. I fear that there never will be a fairly interesting sci-fi sort of story to this, rather we'll just get flagrant nudity, which the makers would argue is OK since Fuuka is just a naive child, and isn't trying to seduce us, right? But that just seems a creepy cop-out to me, and not the sort of show that I would like to be associated with. Episode two was a little less sleazy and I got a few modest laughs out of it. But there was still no explanation of Fuuka's situation and in the end my conclusion is that this is nothing more than animated softcore porn. No need to watch any more of this.

Actually, when episodes three and four came out I had forgotten my original conclusion and watched some more. That was fortunate, because episode three was kind of amusing. Plenty of fanservice regarding the female body--Fuuka's, that is--but also a number of boner jokes which gave the impression that this show isn't just oglng her but is also making fun of teenage sexuality in general. It was good for some modest laughs and didn't leave me feeling dirty at the end.

After having to tolerate a number of lolicon titles in which a young girl acts and behaves inappropriately, I stumbled across this one.

This is kind of a reverse and perverse twist on the lolicon genre. A young girl with the body of college student, who acts and behaves like a young girl (much to Jiro's chagrin).

In any event, this is still a perverse lolicon title with lots of topless action and inappropriate behavior. My question would be that: if you are really into this type of anime, why not go for the real stuff (as in p*rn*).
