Iketeru Futari

One of those cases when the viewer only gets to experience the small fraction of an otherwise great story because the rest wasn't adapted and most likely never will.

There is never a dull moment with Iketeru Futari - characters (especially the female lead) are great, comedy is gold, fan-service is tasty and the romantic dynamics are unfathomably wholesome and cute. What's even better, with its short episode length, even those who suffer from attention span issues can enjoy it to the fullest. Aside from not being completed, the only other downside this anime has is the animation quality, however, it's not really an issue ... and won't hinder the delight one is provided with while watching this rare gem.

This anime, held up to modern shows in the same gerne is now kind of generic. It is very effective in showing a lot of fan service but ultimately has a undeveloped plot. The plot has the potential to be ahead of it's time and very intriguing but it fails on most fronts to be compelling. It feals like there was something holding it back from being an above average anime. The animation is very dynamic and almost lively. It has a lot of energy but over all looks dated and poorly aged. Comparing to shows that came out around that time it looks slightly ... above average. It a good watch it because your bored show not a watch it because it's good. It's might be worth a watch to experience some older ecchi anime.


A remake of this anime would be very interesting in a modern anime world that is more open to certaint content. If it was redone now it could explore some of the subtext of the shows charter relations more in depth.

Iketeru Futari is an anime I will always remeber; I have never seen or want to see an anime that bad. (Well, I have seen one, but it's good for the metaphor).

I found Iketeru Futari around a year ago, when I was bored and looking for some anime to watch. Long story short, I found an episode on youtube, and because it was decent (and had ecchi) I decided to watch the whole series.
...Which turned out to be a mistake, because I hade to make myself sit and watch it untill the end.

Now, more than a year has passed since I saw this anime, ... but I still remeber the horror:
First, the anime has almost no story AT ALL. Yes, in the first episode there's a story, and even an interesting one (Alice), but from then on it's just the main character (Saji?) trying to get the girl. Nothing else worth noting.

Now, the art - Yes, I did watch it in horrible quality, but it still didn't cover for the lame art - the characters are just plain ugly.

The only reason I give this anime a 5 on music is because I don't remember the soundtrack. Lucky for you.

Characters - The characters had nothing to them - just plain students, who we know or care nothing about. Add to that the fact that Saji is so perverted it's not even funny (I mean, it's just plain lame), and you get some horrible characters there.

Enjoyment - like I said, this series is horrible. So why did I give it a 3? The reason is this: It's short. It's short, and you can complete it in about an hour. Which means it's useful for passing time, but I won't recommend it to you unless you like watching crap.

Overall, this series is a serious candidate for the worst anime ever made. Please, if you value your anime, do not watch this.
