Bad Nozomu!
For time constraint reasons and the fact that I’m out of town on my laptop for a family gathering, my posting time has been limited this week. What time I had I needed to update the Summer Preview and my Geass post of the week. So episode 10 of Kanokon got scrapped and I’m doing a double episode post here. Next week I plan on doing the series finale like normal so don’t despair!
Episode 10
Not quite as funny or admirable as Great Erotic King, but also warrants a salute. The man will do anything to bring back those bountiful breasts, and as fellow men we must acknowledge his dedication. And Rollzomu…lol =/ The Japanese onomatopoeia for fondling is awesome btw.
This is one of the few scenes in Kanokon that was really funny without referencing boobs and something perverted. The broke twins are pretty cute and funny, especially in this scene. This isn’t the first story in which food has won women over to one’s side either. I liked the eye effects too, even if they looked cheap at times.
Hah, a really poorly animated fight scene but it’s not like they have the budget for anything else. Was kinda funny seeing all the other spirits in spirit mode, although really lame having emo boy/girl Nue just wipe the floor with them.
Was kinda dissapointed in how brief Nozomu was in wolfu mode, I thought she was going to be kicking some ass, not just getting tied up for a few seconds. Boo.
We got a LOVE POWER moment and then an ok animation quality fight which was entertaining to watch. I knew eventually Kouta was going to have to kick this baddie’s ass, but I was kinda surprised that he turned into 9 tailed fox trap shouta. I’m sure this means something plot wise, but with only one episode left (11 had zero plot) I’m not expecting the imouto to come back nor much in the way of plot revealed.
Episode 11
Mmmmmm, yeah. Sorry guys but I’m not a DFC guy so I really couldn’t find myself excited about this. I appreciate Chizuru more so I’ll leave Nozomu to her fans. But it was certainly…an inventive way of using band-aids.
Holy mother of monstrosity those are huge. It’s nice to see our resident MILF back in action, I give it my stamp of approval.
The boob animation was a little weird in the scene before this with just Chizuru and Kouta, gave them some bounce against the laws of physics. However, never missing a chance for oil rubbing, you knew it was coming when they finally got around to a beach episode.
Good for you Tayura, your tsundere queen is giving you some dere dere love. Score! I like the guy so I was always rooting for him, despite his bad taste in women. I like tsunderes in general, but she’s pretty annoying so she’s not really my type.
Ahhhhhh silly relationship drama go away please! The whole moping Chizuru and this crap I could definitely do without. But in these types of shows they have to end the series with some sort of resolution after a conflict of the heart unfortunately. I’m just hoping it’s not too horrible and I’ll be able to survive it.
Next Episode:
Final episode, but the preview gave us no clue what’s going on except a passed out Kouta with some goo on him!

I’m not hoping for much, but I hope this show got good ratings in Japan. I really hope for a second season on this. The show is so unique, you can’t help but have another one. ^_^
ever since she was in that nurse outfit, i kind of understand what does he sees on her…
Oh Japan!
Well, show’s over episode 12 can only make it worse.
Goo?
…I’m thinking the wrong things, aren’t I?
Wow, I think I’m gonna stop watching this show.. Its getting worst by the episodes..
What I really like about this show (aside from the FanService) is that the characters are really funny. Nozomu’s deadpan reply to her “swimsuit” takes the cake.
The irony here is Chizuru getting upset about Nozomu’s swimsuit when Chizuru has thrown herself at Kouta many, many times naked or nearly naked.
Unlike most ecchi shows, Kanokon excels with the development of its characters illustrated here by Tayura and Akane in episode 11 and Chizuru and Kouta in Episode 10. Sure, it’s a lot of gratuitous T&A shots but the characters are more than that. They have a bit of heart and it’s easy to sympathize with a lot of them (Ren & Ai, Tayura the poor work slave, and even Chizuru who wants nothing more than to have Kouta return her feelings).
I’ll admit when I first started watching Kanokon I thought it would be another empty fanservice show. I’m glad to say that I was very mistaken. I’ve come to enjoy this series a lot and there are lots of interesting things about it (How did Kouta initiate the merge with Chizuru anyway? Why are there so many Yokai at the school? etc). I’m hoping this show has received enough attention to warrant a second season because I think there’s more to the story and more left to tell about Kouta’s relationship with Chizuru and Nozomu.
actually, there are 26 episodes to this season…at least that’s what i heard…
@Webbmaster62
I dunno, I think 12 episodes is perfect for a show like this. I think we can look forward to some other ecchi shows as a replacement, like Sekirei next season.
@EvilDevil
Touche
@The Sojourner
An expression I tell myself constantly while watching this show.
@Blue
When it comes to this show it’s impossible to think of the wrong things, it’s almost always the worst (read perverted and demented) possible.
@Halcyon
They give development without relying too much on the silly melodrama that other shows of this type often rely on. It’s refreshing to find a show that can do it so easily.
I wish my Japanese was better because I am actually pretty curious as to how the story pans out and I’d like to read the novels.
@Homina-homina
All official sources I’ve seen say 12.
you know in episode ten Kouta only has 5 tails not 9
Agreed all anime databases say 12.
Not quite sure I see this character development you guys are mentioning…
Tayura and Akana…I can see but that was given a few minutes in the second to last episode. Chizuru and Kouta’s thing started with promise but really ended with nothing. I was for some growth…like Chizuru learning it’s not ALL about boobs (actually it is…) and Kouta accepting Chizuru regardless. He was surprisingly hesitant to…
The characters all still seem the same to me. Kanokon to me is nothing more than a good laugh and boobs. As Halcyon says…they could have explored so much more…but they didn’t. Still enjoyed this though =).
whoops
Akane acts like a Tsundere but, she is actually a meganekko! They can often act similar though!
its very good the end of kanokon we ount more kanokon do we they are so (cute) togeter its prete cool that!!
