Continuing on with the chaos, the second episode of Dokuro-chan bring about high school love and the trials of going on an date. Of course such situations are difficult for the average teenager in an normal setting but add in an angel that gives you more trouble than all annoying little siblings combined, and you just know trouble is abound.
I was in luck when all of this arrived yesterday, including the Ichigo Mashimaro Prologue DVD. For $20, one gets a nice single case box that includes an 30 minute promotion of sorts plus a nifty 2005 desktop calendar with the girls on it (which I have and will not open). I really hope Geneon continues to do the trend of releasing prologue DVDs of upcoming series (another one to note is He is My Master which I’ll be reviewing shortly). For the average anime fan, importing R2 DVDs isn’t cheap but at $20, these prologue DVDs are a nice starter and a great way to collect series one might be interested in but may not want to actually buy all the R2 DVDs.
The disc is broken up into three parts: an 5 minute prologue of the girls coming to “invade” earth, 20ish minutes “seiyuu talk” (as I like to call it), and a 2-3 mintue promo of the OP including various scenes from the series. The best part, for me at least, has to be the “seiyuu talk” where I can put faces to the names and voices of various female voice actresses I like; for example, was a first finally seeing Ayako Kawasumi & Fumiko Orikasa and how they normally sound. 
Before you continue on, let me apologize in advance for the not so great screencaps. This is my first time capturing from a DVD source as I just queued the thing up on Windows Media Player Classic and did my usual. Unforuntately the captures were alittle “shrunk” so don’t be surprised if everyone looks a little “tall” and “thin.” Once again, sorry about that.
Yuu centric episode as Kazuki and co head to Yuu’s family hot spring resort for the local Kansai Comic Party.
Naked girls covered by censor steam, other various fanservice, plenty of Yuu screen time, and a question popped to Kazuki by Yuu that may change his fate all lead up to a funny if not predictable Comic Party style ending. If you’re a Yuu fan, odds are you’ll enjoy this episode however since I’m not a big fan it was somewhat dull for me. But don’t let me ruin the episode for you, as there are plenty of other scenes to help satisfy non-Yuu fans like a mad Ikumi that’s too cute for words!
Chisa’s printing business is in a big pinch! Her father has collapsed from exhaustion and she’s the only one that can run the place, especially with the next Comic Party so close. And just when Kazuki thinks he could round up the troops to help out Chisa, seems like everyone is too busy getting ready for the convention. Even Kazuki himself has to finish his manuscript…
… a light of shining hope comes at the last minute as Subaru offers to help! Will the unlikely combination of Chisa and Subaru be enough to keep Chisa’s printing shop open or will it be the final end of the Tsukamoto Printing Store?
It’s a cosplay showdown! Will Mizuki or Reiko win with Kazuki’s fate as an manga artist on the line?! And wait.. who’s that Konomi cosplayer!?
Comic Party Revolution starts off in high gear as we’re treated to more of the great wackiness that make up the series’ quirky cast of characters. The anime is definitely heavy on the comedy so sit back and relax as Mizuki’s hatred of otakus is tested to the limits, Taishi’s long lost “sister” is found, girls in cosplay, Taishi’s love for To Heart 2, and Kazuki’s hidden talents are revealed.
NOTE: DO NOT click to check out my full entry unless you want to be totally spoiled. I advise either waiting for the episode to be subbed or watch the raw before reading my review and seeing my screencaps. Otherwise, it’ll ruin all the fun of the ending.
