Kanokon Episode 4 Review

It seems like the creators of Kanokon heard my ranting about the lack of bunny suits in Code Geass R2 because they seem to be delivering. At least in Kanokon episode 4 they had Chizuru prance around in bunny attire for more than half the episode. A bunny suit that drains life energy is wicked evil. A bunny suit that also transforms every other chicks clothing has to be a gift from the devil. I mean, how could something so delightful, so tasteful, so revealing be evil? Apparently it can, much to Chizuru’s grief, and the pleasure of everyone else. So I say, why look a gift horse in the mouth?

I’m starting to wonder what Nozomu’s role in this anime is. Asides from being the obvious love rival to Chizuru her role so far is just rather dull. Her jibes at Chizuru are pretty good, but her character lacks…character. It’s like her presence is only to be a thorn to Chizuru. It would be nice if something could fill her out a little.

Kanokon episode 4 so far still follows the general temperament for this type of anime: lots of fan service; shallow and ridiculous plots; and some chub getting the ladies. Disappointing? A little. I’m still waiting for something to happen, although I am quite aware that it is probable nothing interesting will occur at all.
