Results of the entrance test for Izumizaka High School are posted, and somehow, everybody got in, even Junpei. The graduation ceremony comes, and afterwards Tsukasa talks to Junpei. She's finally realized that he likes someone else -- Aya, of course, who he's been constantly thinking about.. and she tells him she's going to be going to a different high school...
And the B part... Junpei wakes up to find an almost nude girl in his bed. It's his childhood friend, Yui (voiced by Mizuki Nana, yay!), who's come to check out the high school she wants to go to.. the same one Junpei's going to be attending. After a run in with some mean dogs, Junpei takes a bath at home.. and Yui comes in and washes his back for him -- with clothes still on, but after she gets wet she starts to take them off.. and Junpei makes a hasty exit. The next morning, Junpei wakes up, thinking Yui's gone since she was supposed to get up early to catch a train.. but she's under the covers yet again, this time no pantsu, so he sees quite a sight. Why didn't he get a very serious nosebleed from that? ;)
So, Tsukasa finally breaks with Junpei. About time, ain't it? Will she really go to that other high school, though?... So now will Junpei make the move on Aya?.. if only 'cause he's thinking ecchi things and having those fantasies about her during school ;) And as for Yui... that girl needs to somehow fix her habit of sneaking into other peoples' beds naked. Would've thought that Junpei would've been rather pleased with that given his previous actions. Hey, Yui's pretty cute ;)
Ahem... well, next time it looks like Junpei'll be back to the usual. "Chichi wo Moge" would be an appropriate song for him ;)
Aya's going to help Junpei study for the high school entrance test, which has him excited.. but he's going out with Tsukasa, not her, so the three of them end up studying together, and then end up in some close quarters... no wonder Aya and Tsukasa were tired after that ;) In the end the entire gang ends up together...
And the day of the exams comes, but once Junpei hears that Aya's taking the test he thinks more about her than the test... imagining her in those ichigo pantsu, whether he likes her with or without glasses (both!), etc., so he ends up rushing through with the little time left. And after the test ends, Aya rushes out again, apologizing to Junpei, saying she hopes they pass.. and if they do they'll be able to make movies together.. Tsukasa, who's at the door, hears that..
Animation quality did seem lower than the first episode, but not enough to really distract me, so I can live with it. So, Junpei's rather in tough situation... because he's doing the things harem guys usually do, thinking more about ecchi things than anything else :P しょうがないやつね... he does change sometime, right?... Junpei would have no problems if he followed Stripey's patented 2NNJ plan, though ;) If I had to pick now, I'd go with no-megane Aya, but anyways :)
life line by line - Ichigo 100% 1
↑ See moyism's blog for full summary and thoughts on this first episode from someone who's an avid fan of the manga (are we going to consider this as two episodes or one from now on?)
And now the view from someone who had zero knowlege of Ichigo 100% before watching the anime.. well, besides the fact that some girl wore ichigo pantsu... ;) But anyways, I rather enjoyed it. For now, Junpei he seems to just be your typical harem anime lead guy, most interested in those kinda things these characters are always interested in. However, he was very entertaining ;) And why exactly did Tsukasa decide to go out with him? きまぐれ? Hmmm... Since the meganekko (seems like typical meganekko: dojikko, smart, etc.), Aya, turned out to be that girl that wore the ichigo pantsu that Junpei wanted to film, things are gonna get a bit complicated for him, it would seem. You know, I've always (always?) said that meganekko girls look their best without the megane :P
Animation by Madhouse was decent, but I do agree with moyism that the background music/sound effects were kinda cheesy. OP is okay, ED is Euro-techno(?) stuff...
Anyways, I enjoyed this first time, 聴視決定！, it's going under Quickie. Yoroshiku, moyism, it's all yours to have fun summarizing ;)
