Papa no Iukoto wo Kikinasai Released: Jan 11th 2012 Studio: feel Genre: Comedy/Romance
Initial Thoughts: The story follows Yuta Segawa, a college freshman whose life is thrown into disarray when he suddenly has to accept custody of three precocious little girls - his nieces. When their mother, his sister, goes missing after taking a flight abroad, Yuta assumes responsibility for raising the girls so that they won't be adopted and split up. This could be good or bad. The production studio, feel, is pretty new and I've only watched one of their previous productions, Mayo Chiki! They seem to do a lot of visual novels with character-driven, romantic plot arcs. I tried Mayo Chiki! for a few weeks and found it quite well-drawn, but there wasn't enough action to hold my interest. Oh well, if this is funny enough I might stick with it, but right now my expectations aren't too high.
Post-credits Verdict: Maybe I was in the wrong mood to be watching this but it just seemed sort of bland and boring. There weren't that many funny moments and an unsettling amount of lolicon fanservice. There's some other characters who are Yuta's age, but I feel like they won't get as much screen time as the three little girls. It's a shame because that's kind of what I relate to most at the moment. If you're looking for a slice-of-life show that offers a lot of fluff, then look no further. I, on the other hand, will have to look elsewhere for anime worth watching.
