Skin,
skin, and more skin! That pretty much sums up this series.
Girls Bravo is borderline from becoming a hentai. There
is so much flesh bouncing around on the screen you'll find
yourself hypnotized by nipples! Ooooohhhhhhh......boooooobs.....oh
wait, there's a story too.
Yukinari
is your typical clueless harum-anime guy that could get
more play than Hugh Hefner if he wasn't so dense. Well,
he is allergic to girls, but that's besides the point. Ole'
Yuki gets transported to a world where 90% of the population
is all women....beautiful, sexy women at that. This is where
he meets Miharu. Yuki gets transported from his own bathtub
via some interdimensional portal (in his bathtub) and ends
up in Miharu's spa....while she's bathing....in the buff
of course. Miharu had visions of his arrival and calls it
destiny, yadda yadda yadda, she goes back with him to Earth
to live...all in the first episode.
Once
back on familiar soil Yuki and Miharu live together as roommates
to the dismay of Kirie, a female childhood friend of Yuki's.
Kirie, a very well endowed and feisty girl, has a love /
hate relationship with Yuki. She loves him....but pretends
to hate him most of the time and beats him up about three
times an episode. For some odd reason she's also a sexual
target for lesbians.....very interesting indeed.
The
main antagonist of the show, at least early on, is Kazuharu
Fukuyama, the playboy of the school Yuki attends. He's an
absolute pervert and fiend that's willing to cart off any
girl willing or not. Now once he gets his eyes set on Miharu
its game time. Every chance he gets and every word he speaks
dishes out sexual innuendo and explicit favors. Good thing
Kirie knows his ironic weakness. Just as Yuki is allergic
to women, Kazuharu is allergic to men...and thus despises
Yukinari.
A few
episodes in we get to the rest of the cast. There is Koyomi
who is scared to death of men and very shy. Tomoka, the
token cute little magical girl of the series, tries too
hard to let everyone know she's powerful and mature. Lastly
my favorite character, Lisa, a very cute blond who's hobby
is black magic and demon worshiping.
Girls
Bravo is actually made up of the first and second seasons
set together to look like one series when marketed in the
USA. The story for the first half, more like the goal of
the first half, is to see what kind of situations the girls
can get into where they get to take off their clothes. It
can be funny and sweet but a majority of the time its plain
cheese and cliche with flesh abound.
The
second half picks up reminiscence of a story. Evil is afoot
in the other world of Seiren and their goal is to ruin all
hope and love at Yuki's place. At least that's what I got
out of it. Lots of attempts are made to try and tear apart
Miharu and Yukinari as well as break up rest of the household.
Miharu gets kidnapped by the "Space Management Bureau"
and the rest run off to rescue her. Eventually they do.....and
in the process get another female house guest who is probably
the coolest looking character in the series.
Girls
Bravo won't rock your mind....it will rock your pants. Undoubtedly
its a fun and entertaining series. The main problem is character
development. The two main characters are supposed to be
Miharu and Yukinari, but Kirie turns out to be the most
developed character both cosmetically and emotionally. You
start to wonder why Miharu is there....kick her out and
stick with your life long friend ya dummy! Miahru's character
gets minimalised time and time again and the focus gets
placed on other characters. She's even the dullest of the
bunch. Sure, she has the "star mark" that allows
her to travel between the two worlds but she has no other
defining trait other than big knockers. To win over Yukinari,
Kirie is willing to fight to the death using her vast array
of martial arts skills and Lisa will summon demons from
the pits of hell just to help her cook him an exotic dinner.
Miharu will cry a little and maybe drum up enough courage
to make a motivational speech while eating a banana provocatively.
Not that I have anything against bananas.
All
in all Girls Bravo is a fun flick with so much eye candy
you'll get a sugar rush. Its a perverted situation comedy
complete with nudity. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll lock
yourself in the bathroom for five minutes. |
