Nuki Doki! Tenshi to Akuma no Sakusei Battle

OK, fellow lion tamers. Here we go, with my first review. Unfortunately, I have to say, Nuki Doki! Tenshi to Akuma no Sakusei Battle; leaves a lot of stuff out of the mix. Those of you have seen part (or all) of this anime, know enough about this that I should not have to itemize by scores, where I am on this anime. PoRO needs to be horsewhipped. They've done worse work, and they've done better work. Nuki Doki is simply not worth anybody's time. Don't know why I bothered. I ran into episode 1, some time ago, and was mildly intrigued. I waited, then I waitedsome more. Finally episode 2 arrived (on several sites). I was shocked to find that there was no story continuation, no meaningful expansion of plot lines, no reasonable expansion of the characters. In fact, things tended to get worse. The male protagonist, Mr. Yamato is utterly interchangeable. He also does absolutely nothing except acquiesce to every sexual approach attempted by Sera and Filika. OK, that might seem good, for some; but when he turns down Filikas' contract (purported to be for purposes unknown, never really explained) I said to myself "... OK, maybe this guy has some brains ...". But no. He becomes a golem, with no attitudes at all, no commentary of his own, no real astonishment that Filika keeps dismembering him, as if that will help her scores (pun intended); no commentary about maybe he is sick and tired of being stolen out from under Sera (even though the plot, the stuff they give us, plainly points out the Filika and Sera may not interfere in any way with the other persons' sexual activities). Filika is the first character we are introduced to. She plays a demon from the fires of Hell (you get to pick the one you like. After all the Chinese have over a thousand of them). She complains about having to appear to her target male, via a toilet; even though virtually anyone from Hell would be pleased to be handed ice water. The toilet and sewer pipe are drawn clean, and she stays dry. She complains. She is arrogant, petulant, and stupid. She has carried out the wishes of her superiors, without regard to ground rules which might be used to determine the winner of the internal struggle. And she never even asks. Sera is the other combatant, in this supernatural struggle. She is proported to be an Angel, we don't know from where, and the story doesn't say. We are forced to make ludicrous assumptions. She is exactly the opposite of Filika, in most ways. She is polite, commiserative, kind, helpful, and generous in all ways. The only similarity between the two girls is that she is more incompetent than Filika. She performs a task, which saves the life of Yamato (something so unique that Filika can only stand and watch in amazement); only to let this pass. Anyone else would have demanded this action be scored, and be delivered the victory. This story should have been immediately over. There is no possible response to balance this action, from Filika. Even Filika's bosses would not want the target male to be killed before the end of the contest. Afterward, who cares. OK, general commentary. Both girls in the contest are stupid and vapid. In every single case, there is significantly more going on inside their sex organs, than there is between their ears. In short, they are blow-up dolls, having no capacity whatever to give pleasurable feedback to a male partner. The artwork is up to PoRO's high standards (and the women in the show are drawn beautifully), and so is the sound and the dialog actors performances (although, just between you and I; I have no idea why they bothered to perform so well). The basic story is initially intriguing, but then falls completely flat leaving nowhere for this story to go. We can see the problem, more clearly, if we ask some questions: Do I care if either girl wins? No. Do I care what happens, after the show finally meanders its way to an ending, to Mr. Yamato? No. Do I care about the conversations between our two lovely judges? No. DO I have any sexual fantasies about having sex with either blow-up doll? No. Is the proper ending, the splitting of Mr. Yamato in half and placing each half on the wall of each relevant judge as a trophy? Yes, yes yes! Should each contestant female be made to pump water for the house plumbing, in which they have been living (for weeks), forever? Yes, yes, yes! Should the judges, as pretty as they are, be fed to the creatures of the 10 realms? Yes, yes, yes! And there you have it. My first review on this blog. I give it an overall 5, and only because the artwork and voice acting is above par; the rest is unredeemably bad!
