"Based on a manga by Go Zappa & Sakura Takeuchi, serialised in Young Animal.

Haruma Kawagoe is an only child. A long time ago, at Christmastime, his mother miscarried the child that was to have been his baby sister. That night, young Haruma knelt down and offered up an earnest prayer: "Please make my mother well again, and please give me a little sister." Years have passed, and Haruma has nearly forgotten his prayer. But Santa hasn`t.... one Christmas, when Haruma is least expecting it, he gets an unusual present - his sister." -AniDB

I watched the first two eps from Ryo. The subbing was good in my opinion. The series itself was slightly funny and quite cute. And I have no idea what is the target audience. Well, maybe more episodes will make that clearer. Or perhaps I just can't distinguish (the probable reason)...

All in all, based on the first two episodes, this wasn't as close to Aishiteru ze Baby as I hoped (foolishly, I suppose, but that's why I picked this), but it was somewhat good by its own right, so I'll keep watching.

I was looking forward to this for a while, since I heard Momoko Saito was playing Choko, but it didn't seem like any of the more prominent groups were going to pick it up. I tried Ryo like Kraco, and they are great subs for a new group, even if the audio is really loud.

The target audience is I assume the same seinen crowd as the manga, if not a little toned down.

I do not care for either the OP or the ED all that much, and I'll probably be skipping them for the rest of the series. I really like the cast though, and looking through the list on ANN of the ones that haven't shown up yet, I'll like them too.

Ryo is definitely the way to go.

Its cute, but hard for me to like with the strange premise and Choco's knowledge of the world (hwo come she seems to know how to operate a stove, but not how to cook?)

The daily life of the Christmas present continues:

Episode 3 - Ryoumi

Edit: Honestly nothing much happened in this episode. A clumsy landlady appeared, but that's it. And there wasn't even much humour or anything involved. The very last scene with Choco asking about some obscenities could have been quite nice but it was ruined by the cheap *censored* effects.

Well, I can only hope this was a temporary glitch in the series. Otherwise I'm forced to think the script writers ran out of ideas after 2 episodes...

[Kraco]

After a while Choco gets another chance:

Episode 4 - Ryoumi

Edit: It was certainly a lot funnier than the previous episode. Yet I still feel this series fails to get everything out of its basic idea, and is treading a bit too traditional paths all the time.

Choco got out of the box sooner than expected:

Episode 5 - Ryoumi

I wonder if I'm the only one watching this... For some reason this series wasn't included in Ryllharu's minimized list in the other thread...

[Kraco]

This series seems to be coming back from the dead time after time like the twenty times banned Mage:

Episode 15 - mbt

[Kraco]

Rejoice, denizens of darkness, for the thrice dead has risen again!

Episode 16 - mbt

[Kraco]

I didn't create a necromancer character in NWN2 but nevertheless I can train those dark skills in this thread:

Episode 17 - mbt

[Subiedubidoo]

seems to have some potential.
