ookami-san basically is a retelling of some of the fairy / folk tales we've heard and known since our childhood into a somewhat more modern and slightly refreshing setting. but more surprisingly, it seems that there aren't many people who favor this series here as apparent from the amount of haters accumulated right from the first episode [ some of which were remnants of kuroko's haters back in the railgun days ]. well anyway, ookami-san - for short - is done by the same j.c. staff team that gave us toradora and to aru kagaku no railgun [ and technically is my favorite production team within the studio ], thus it has as well brought forth the same art style / design and visual direction / execution seen from both toradora and to aru kagaku no railgun.
okay, so once again we get to see a merry party of slightly odd and not-so-peculiar characters, and this somehow reminds me of the not so captivating series mamoru-kun megami ni shukufuku wo [ both series however seems to make very good use of very long titles for themselves ]. but the uncanny 'otogi bank' party aside, my interest were grounded more into the leading trio, most especially the titular star of the series,taiga ookami-san and her pushy loli companion komoe-sensei ringo; very interesting to note [ well some of you should've already known this for ages now ] is that both leading females were directly inspired from the classic fairy tale 'the little red riding hood', although both of their roles in this series seemed to breakaway greatly from their classic folktale counterparts :3
among the major key elements which held my interest high into the series was the loose narration by satomi arai-san, which were both funny and dramatic [ especially when arai-san had it done in the same style / mood / tone-whatever as kuroko's ], as well as the narrator's quirk of inducing several 4th wall breaking gags from the characters due to her insulting commentaries laid on them. +not to mention her narrations added in some sort of interactivity between the characters and us, the audience :3 . oh, and yes my dear people, i may have not being quite fond of kuroko's way of speaking back when to aru kagaku no railgun were still airing [ in case you've read my first impression post on the said series before ] but since then i've grown to love and became more attached to it, and thus to be listening 'kuroko's return' as the narrator [ +having parts of kuroko's personality intact within the narration ] definitely is some sort of a blessing for me.
i guess we can now resign ourselves from reminiscing on working !!, as ookami-san to shichinin no nakamatachi for one is a pretty solid comedy series for this summer if i must say myself - just like the former, for me that is. and regardless of the hate it gets at the moment, well frankly speaking i am wholly impressed by the first episode, alone. period. well haters definitely gonna hate, and let's let them be :3
p/s : oh and btw, neko knuckles ? *thumbs up*
