Ookami Kakushi

Ookami Kakushi

I started watching this series today, and also finished it today. That's a good thing considering I probably wouldn't try to watch this tomorrow, or any other day. Lets start off by saying this anime is slow. Like, so zeta slow. The first episode starts off with a preview of wants going to happen later in the show. I'm usually okay with this type of story telling, but with this... What they showed didn't even happen till the end of the sixth episode. I had to sit through six slug inching episodes just to see the attention getter? Fuck. I should of just stopped at the first episode really, but of course, you can't judge a book by it's cover...or the first twenty four minutes.

First off, the anime has a really distinctive style that you catch right off the bat. All of the character designs were done by Peach-Pit. So everything is moe moe cute. And at first, I thought this anime was done by them. Unfortunately, no. It originated as a PSP game, which makes a whole lot of sense now, because for one, Peach-Pit makes fairly decent stories. This, not so much. It was actually made by the people who did Higurashi and Umineko. Coolio, I enjoy Higurashi, so I should enjoy this, right?

Basically, the whole town is infested with these werewolf type people. But they do not turn into hairy beasts nor do they sparkle in the sunlight. The werewolf people are attracted to regular humans, but if they kiss them, that person turns into a werewolf with side effects. So, basically whats happening, is all these cool werewolf people are trying to get in bed with the main character cause he smells good. Yes, I said it, BECAUSE HE SMELLS GOOD. The main character, Hiroshi, meets attractive girl who is a werewolf, then werewolf wants to rape Hiroshi. Then the Werewolf rape brigade comes in and kills the werewolf that had the hots for Hiroshi. This happens about three times through out the whole series.

The anime just reeks of bad PSP AI Love visual novel games. They tried to throw in some occult, mystery murder bullshit, but it was obvious that this was just a dating game.Once again, I was shot down thinking this anime would be good.......NOPE. All I can say is I am in love with the Character design of Kushinada, and its really really really making me want to cosplay her even though I don't like the series.
