Teizokurei DAYDREAM

This kind of anime certainly isn't my thing as for starters, it is an ecchi title. But for some wacky reason, I noticed the large numbers of ads that Geneon was putting on numerous anime websites and thought I'd give it a look.

I have to say, the images used in the ads were much more attractive than what was in the actual OAV. I got to tell you, that was kind of a surprise to me. Sheeze, if you have to juice up the ads to get people's attention, then the people discover that the actual product isn't as billed, well how does that make your company look? And people wonder why I refuse to buy stuff sight unseen.

As to the story, Misaki-san has two jobs. Her "main" job is that of a dominatrix, and she also does photo shoots of herself in various costumes as a dominatrix. While she's not too keen on that job, she's also not to keen on her other job with Souichiro, where they try to get ghost to pass to the other side. Misaki likes to yell a lot, scream "Baka" a lot, and isn't too happy when the girl from her first case suddenly starts hanging around. She's also not happen he the girl's classmate Fujiwara-kun is always around to see the woman he calls "queen."

The cases can be pretty messed up and the humor, mostly centering around Misaki, didn't do much to counter the gloom of some of the cases. With only four episodes, there isn't much time to flesh out the characters and make them good. And I didn't like Misaki as a dominatrix, though I guess that is supposed to be funny considering her special gifts.

Bottom line: proof of why one should never trust an advertisement when it comes to buying stuff. While not horrible, it's nothing much beyond a kill of two hours.
