DVD Reviews of Girls Bravo (Vol. 1)
DVD Review: GIRLS MAKE HIVES
Summary: 2 Stars
Yukinari has always had a problem with girls because his small size and weak nature made him so repugnant that even females beat the crap out of him as he was growing up. Even now in high school, they won't give him the time of day, except for his neighbor and childhood friend, Kirie. But even she picks on him all the time, but it really seems like annoyance of his passive character and also a desire for him to be attracted to her. Kirie also has a habit of dropping in at Yukinari's house unannounced since his parents are away on business most of the time. One morning, Yukinari comes in on Kirie in the shower and after a fight he falls in the bathtub water and into the parallel world of Seiren, where the population breakdown is 90% women and 10% men. Of course, all the women there are after him to bear their children. Yukinari escapes back to Earth, but unintentionally brings back an inhabitant of Seiren, the cute but gluttonous Miharu, who seems to be the only girl that doesn't make Yukinari break out in hives. The comedy ensues as Miharu begins to try to fit into a normal teenager's life even as she makes Kirie have jealous fits and also attracts the attentions of Fukuyama, the school's resident pervert and rich playboy.
Girls Bravo suffered from an identity crisis as it tried to straddle the line between cute comedy and bawdy soft porn. You have fullblown nudity and fan service all over the place in this first volume. For example, especially repulsive without being funny was a scene in which Miharu samples her first banana with all the phallic implications that brings to the table. It was more disturbing than sexy or humorous. The character of Kirie was pretty much the only interesting character because Yukinari is so effeminate he doesn't elicit much sympathy, and Miharu is the standard "How can I serve you Master?" caricature from so many anime. Girls Bravo is entirely formulaic. Miharu has been the only Seiren in the forefront of the show but there has already been foreshadowing that one by one, more girl characters will be introduced with one trait personalities until you have all these people crowded in the house, which one will Yukinari pick etc. blah blah blah. If you like this kind of show, the "harem" comedy, then you should like this. If you like variety and innovation in your anime, then stay clear.
Special features are pretty standard, clean opening/closings, and line drawings.
I would also recommend Ai Yori Aoshi, Angel Tales, and Midori Days.
