Alot of jokes don't get off the ground because they're bleeped out and i don't From episode one, you can tell this is only worth watching if you got the DVD version (if there is such a thing). With that aside, for what its worth, the show minus the loli porn wouldn't be that bad BUT there are ALOT of things wrong with the show in the technical sense. What can I say about this show that isn't absurd, offensive, or down right politically incorrect? As a forewarning to those who are offended by lolicon-esque (kids in ecchi situations) anime DO NOT WATCH THIS SHOW. Overall, I give Kodomo no Jikan an 8 out of 10. The end result is quite commendable though, assuming one watches this without a die-hard need to find as many disturbing details as they can. It is not anywhere near the horror that it was constantly advertised as prior to its release, nor is it entirely redeemable due to its abrupt swings between the drama and its uncomfortable brand of comedy. The ED is a hyperactive J-pop number that the audience this kind of show often attracts will enjoy greatly.įor me, KoJikan was a mixed bag. The OP is one of my favorites, not for being a good song, but because the lyrics fit the tone of the series to a T. The music didn't stick to me but I don't remember it intruding in any way. It's a slightly above-average job all around. Outside of this flaw, everything looks nice and neat. The art is bright and cute, though the character designs are a little off-putting, especially Rin and Mimi's hair. It's territory anime often skips in favor of taking the "moe" way out and its nice to see a series that portrays kids as kids. However, the series should be commended on portraying 8-year-old girls with relative intelligence while acknowledging that they are still physically and mentally children. For now, the only real depth is in Rin and her cousin Reiji. Unfortunately for most characters, they are relegated to often insulting cliche traits substitued as personalities, though this may change in future seasons. This is in great part to the main character being far more than she appears on the surface, especially when her laudably deep and complex emotions are explored. Likewise, no series has dared to have characters like KoJikan's and gotten away with it. It may flawed in its execution, but its heart is in the right place. Though KoJikan still handles issues it brings up head-on, it does so in an abrupt and awkward presentation, constantly and abruptly switching between drama and comedy. It's a touchy subject, but handled with precision and never crossing the line, though toeing it on occasion. One of its more important plot aspects is the recognition of children as having the same emotional needs as the rest of us. and unique relationships, the context of which have never been explored up until now. Had KoJikan been solely about the fanservice, this series would deserve all the negative criticism it has received, but there's a heavy dollop of character-driven drama No series has dared to tell the story KoJikan tells and gotten away with it, but for all the underage fanservice it provides, the heartwarming drama beneath the disturbing ecchi comedy ultimately shines. But like most controversial titles, its subject matter is not exploited in vain, and the end result is something that can be credited, at the very least, as a decent series in its own right. Kodomo no Jikan is a heavily controversial title, and with good reason.
