(All episodes watched): I started watching Koikoi 7 several years ago, but only part of the series had been fansubbed and it went into hiatus. At last, the remainder is available and I've begun rewatching it (from the very start, since it's been so long). This one holds a fond place in my heart largely because it's so shamelessly risque; what Tesuro sees in the nurse's office in episode one made me exclaim "OMG"! This is one of those jaw-dropping shows that is fun largely because you'd never see anything so politically incorrect in this country. The quality of individual episodes varies wildly as they parody different anime genres; sometimes they are boring, sometimes hilarious. Tetsuro reminds me of Suguru from Mahoromatic while Asuka is a lot like Kurumi from Koutetsu Tenshi Kurumi, and "eyepatch girl" (Celonius 28) is clearly a Rei-clone. The colors are grating; I suspect there are six members of the KoiKoi 7 because there are three primary colors and three secondary ones, just enough for their identifying hairstyles. Originally I disliked the raucous OP song, but now it's growing on me. What really disappointed me is the fact that there is never a real end to the story. Episode twelve ends with a crisis apparently approaching, but in episode thirteen things are pretty much back to normal--I thought I had missed an episode somehow. Mia-sama, who I had come to sympathize with, never learns her special friend Tetsuko's secret, nor do we learn how the six girls wound up as cyborgs. There is, however, a brief omake segment, entitled "Koi Koi 7 Special Reflection". This roughly three minute piece (see episode 14) is like an extended trailer for the final episode which I thought we'd be getting. Better than nothing, certainly (hilarious, actually), but I still can't help feeling disappointed with the overall conclusion. Still, KoiKoi 7 as a whole will always bring a smile to my face whenever I think about it. A crazy, shameless, jaw-dropping show--if only it had had a better ending Last updated Saturday, August 04 2007. | ||||||||

Drama : Low 9 Episodes Watched If you are looking for a plot, this isn't the place. It's mostly parody. Ok well you got me hooked. It isn't the best anime or the funniest but it parodies Maburaho my favorite series! It also parodies Gundam Seed, Steel Angel Kurumi, Project A-Ko, Ikki Tousen, and Martian Successor Nadesico. So who can't watch it? First episode is almost exclusively dedicated to Maburaho and Gundam. It funny but not extremely so, I'll keep watching it for a while. Favorite Line : There are only 6 of us, be we are called the KoiKoi 7! So far the storyline is introducing each of the Characters and tons of fanservice. Edit : Episode 4 turns down the fanservice (But still has plenty) and adds a STORY OMG! hehe. Last updated Wednesday, January 11 2006. | ||||||||

Who really needs a plot if you have a lot fan service and echii shots, along with lots of mondo teen-girl mecha and big weapons action? And it does get thrown about in a fast and furious manner! The Student Council Leadership are rich enough to afford combat helicopters and over-hyped big-mecha-robots, while the six girls of Asuka's Koi Koi Seven group are a mixed batch of teenage amazon super-warriors, each with a special skill or ability. The innocent Tetsuro quickly becomes a pawn in the struggle between the two girl-gangs, but Asuka is very protective of her Tetsuro and she is very clear on her lewd and possessively intimate intentions keeping him close to her. This series is worth a watch, perhaps a rent if you like gratuitous amounts of school girl panty scenes. I found a few chuckles in the parody scenes, which are cute and fun, but are not really worth mentioning. First episode is out as a fansub. Last updated Friday, July 22 2005. | ||||||||
