My Review of Oreshura
…
Oh, who the hell remembers why I had this on my randomizer list? As long as it doesn’t have anything to do with the Fate franchise, I’ll watch it.
Eita Kidou is heavily focused on his studies and nothing else. Love? Pfft! Fuck that noise! He has no time for that shit and we can thank sucky parenting for that. A few years prior, his parents decided to divorce each other, get new partners, and ditch the family. So that’s why Eita chooses to study, so he can become a doctor, and not get involved in trivial bullshit of the heart.
And now let’s meet the new girl in school Masuzu Natsukawa. She’s beautiful and as a result, has been hounded by the boys at school to go out with her. I think she said it was like 60 times in two months. But Masuzu is much like Eita and wants nothing to do with love. And so she asks Eita to be her fake boyfriend to keep the horny rabble in class at bay. Two apathetic, aromantic teenagers together! Eita flat out rejected this until Masuzu blackmailed him. Apparently, she somehow got ahold of a journal that belonged to Eita and is going to use it to get what she wants.
Eventually, three other girls get involved in Eita’s love life including his childhood friend Chiwa, an even older childhood friend Ai, and Himeka who is in the middle of her chunibyo phase of life. Let’s see how long Eita stays single with four thirsty girls after him.
BETWEEN THE SUB AND THE DUB: Hmm…How old is this anime? Almost 9 years old. So chances of there being a dub is slim to none at this point. Ah, Yukari Tamura! It’s always good to hear her again and play a manipulative bi-atch. Here’s what you might recognize these folks from.
*Eita is played by Ryouta Oosaka (Cross on Pokemon I Choose You, Marco on Attack on Titan, Climb on Overlord, Naoto on Tokyo Revengers, Yuki on Tsuritama, Isogai on Assassination Classroom, and Sekke on Black Clover)
*Chiwa is played by Chinatsu Akasaki (known for Nurse Joy on Pokemon XY, Miitsuru on Fruits Basket 2019, Felt on Re:Zero, Alice on Food Wars, Airi on ERASED, Nibutani on Chunibyo, and Yoriko on Tokyo Ghoul)
*Masuzu is played by Yukari Tamura (known for Rika on Higurashi, Lizzie on Black Butler, Tenten on Naruto, Suzuha on Steins;Gate, Mei on Clannad, Nui on Kill la Kill, Kanako on Oreimo, and Nanoha)
*Himeka is played by Hisako Kanemoto (known for Ami/Mercury on Sailor Moon Crystal, Zenith on Mushoku Tensei, Erina on Food Wars [season 3+], Kururi on Durarara, and Squid Girl)
*Ai is played by Ai Kayano (known for Darkness on Konosuba, Menma on Anohana, Alice on SAO: Alicization, Sylph on Mushoku Tensei, Ryouko on Food Wars, Anna on The Promised Neverland, and Mayaka on Hyouka)
DISLIKED CHARACTER: You know, I’m just going to say it. I wasn’t a fan of nearly everyone in this series. But I seriously had a disdain for Masuzu and her younger sister.
SHIPPING: Okay, all of these women have 0% chance with this guy. Eita has no interest in falling in love. So let’s leave the dude alone and not put him through a harem.
Nah!
Eita x Chiwa: Chiwa is Eita’s childhood friend and…Okay, it has to be asked.
DOES THE CHILDHOOD FRIEND EVER WIN IN THIS SITUATION? I am legitimately asking. They always poll high in many animes, but never get to be the winner.
I want to believe in this one though. Eita’s other reason for studying up to become a doctor in the future is in the hopes of one day curing Chiwa. Prior to entering high school, Chiwa was in a horrific accident that broke several bones in her body and forever preventing her from doing kendo or anything strenuous again. As for Chiwa, we know she likes Eita otherwise she wouldn’t have run out on him when Eita was happy for her getting a date with some other guy. Don’t worry, she gets over that and constantly butts in whenever Masuzu is too close to Eita.
Eita x Masuzu: Wow, you are such a manipulative bitch! Get a guy to be your fake boyfriend, blackmail him with spilling his embarrassing thoughts all over the internet, and occasionally read from his journal out loud in front of people just to torture him. Yeah, Eita isn’t that likeable but that’s just cruel. I know this is supposed to be the main ship of this harem, but I’m not a supporter of it one bit. Even Eita’s aunt can see she’s a two-faced phony.
Eita x Himeka: So Himeka isn’t formally introduced until halfway into the series. And all you need to know about this is if you’ve seen any episode of Love Chunibyo & Other Delusions, this is what this is. Because Himeka is a chunibyo! Something about Eita being her lover from a different time and yeah, don’t read too much into it. But it’s still better than Masuzu!
Eita x Ai: And around the same time we were introduced to Himeka the anime adds a tsundere! She secretly likes Eita so much that she plays hard to get by lying about having a boyfriend already. Not just that but forces her friend Kaoru to say nice things about her in front of Eita. This girl is pretty reachy! But as it turns out, Ai was actually a childhood friend turned tsundere. Yeah, she met Eita long before Chiwa did. But once her feelings are out in the open, Ai tries to get Eita to sign a wedding registration form.
IS THAT A JOJO REFERENCE: Watching this anime in recent ages, I was able to quickly pick out all the Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure references. Masuzu is a big fan of the manga so it seems. But it seems that all the references only go as far as Part IV since this anime came out in 2013 and Jojo’s anime had only gotten off the ground with the first part. But at least they mentioned the Dio Brando kiss steal. Fitting since Masuzu’s little sister stole her first kiss with Eita.
ENDING: Let’s see how we’re going to end this! They’re shopping for bikinis so…Christmas festival? Pfft, ha! Yeah, it’s the infamous beach romp!
Unfortunately, the beach plans are at a stand-still due to lack of funds. And in comes Eita’s aunt whom we haven’t really seen up to this point. But she’s technically Eita’s guardian, so whatever. She meets the other girls (since she already knows Chiwa) and wonders who Eita has taken as a girlfriend. When Masuzu announces she’s the girlfriend, Eita’s aunt didn’t believe it. She can see right through this FAB. That’s right, FAKE ASS BITCH! In fact, she believes the tsundere (Ai) is a better fit. Hell, even the childhood friend and the chunibyo have a better chance. Besides the third degree this aunt is giving, she ends up allowing the kids to get their beach trip after all. But she wants them to help her as she’s a game developer. Apparently there’s an event where girls go on stage and confess their feelings to someone they love.
Now because of auntie coming in and mucking things up, we have a bit of a problem. Masuzu’s cracks are beginning to show because of what the aunt said. Others are starting to question how Masuzu and Eita ended up getting together. Even Ai got suspicious and almost caught on. As for Eita, it was time to choose whether he wants to have an actual harem or have a war breakout with all these women after him.
During the trip, Masuzu changed a bit in front of Eita. While she was still having manipulative thoughts like pressuring him to kiss her, that comment from Eita’s aunt was really eating her up inside. Eita ends up learning about Masuzu constantly putting up a façade in front of people in part thanks to her father. And the night before helping Eita’s aunt, Masuzu drops a bombshell on Eita. She will release him from being boyfriend and girlfriend at the end of the trip and even give him back his blackmailable journal. Masuzu found the page where Eita vowed to become a doctor to heal Chiwa. On the day of the event, Masuzu is nowhere to be found. Eita ends up talking to Masuzu’s little sister and gets a little insight into his fake-girlfriend. At the event, Ai, Chiwa, and Hime all say their feelings to Eita on stage, in a public setting.
But then Masuzu goes on stage and let’s out everything. And Eita runs on stage screaming about loving her or some shit…Yeah, my fuck level is at zero. You know where this review is going. Fake-ass girlfriend and Fake-ass boyfriend love each other and kiss on stage for everyone and all the girls to see.
In the aftermath of this, Eita has Masuzu for reals this time. Now to quell the brewing storm that’s about to hit after doing what he did on stage! All of those confessions and he goes to the girl who tried to blackmail him and use him as a shield, Goddamn! First, Eita tries to come up with some cock-and-bull story for Hime to take since she’s an easily to impress chunibyo. That backfired and made her love Eita more! With Ai, things got worse. He accidentally gets a paper cut and smudges a marriage certificate Ai has. And now Ai thinks that he stamped it and they’re going to get married. Chiwa…I know, she says something to Masuzu about waiting nine years or some shit.
God, this anime was blah. I’m trying to find the right word for this and blah is the only one I can think of. I wasn’t really a fan of this story or the characters or the shipping or really anything about it. This was just one of those animes I was just happy to get over with. Not because I hate it or anything, but I just found a disinterest in nearly everything. If you liked it, good for you. I’m an odd duck and my opinion should be taken with a grain of salt.
If you do want to watch this though, Crunchyroll has the entire series on their site.
