My Wife is the Student Council President!

When the "plot" is more important than the plot, you know you're dealing with a second-rate show. Okusama ga Seitokaichou! isn't the type of title that requires any sort of in-depth analysis to explain, it's pure fanservice in animated form. With that being said, this review will be brief. The 1st episode of Okusama is perhaps the biggest troll of the 2015 summer season. It caught many by surprise and rightfully so, as it seemed to have devised a way to get past Japan's impenetrable censorship law, leaving its rival ecchi titles in the dust. While most shows were caught up in the red tapeof censorship, Okusama was delivering the 'goods' with no filter whatsoever. This prompted many viewers to loosen their belts for what was expected to be a "plot"-driven ecchi title that wasn't afraid of going the extra mile to please the audience. But just as quickly as it garnered attention, it seemed that it couldn't maintain it, as the following episodes showed that the initial climax was well behind us. Lack of censorship, the only benefit Okusama had going for it, was quickly stripped away, bringing with it a tidal wave of flaccid onlookers. And as the buzz dissipated into a soft murmur, Okusama fell in line as yet another xerox copy of the same ole shit that has come before it and will continue to be produced long after its 15-minutes of fame was up. Like most ecchi comedy series, the story of Okusama is basically the same setup seen countless of times before. A guy is forced into some odd relationship with a girl under circumstances that he has no control over, lots of sexual comedic mishaps happen, yadda yadda yadda, you know the drill. It's the tired trite that makes up a majority of the shows within this genre. The only purpose of the narrative is to compress as many titillating encounters as it possibly can in the limited time-span given. The cast, as to be expected, is composed of one guy and a plethora of girls. The only girl of relevance, Ui Wakana, serves as the main love interest and also the source of grief for our protagonist. The rest of the female cast can simply be defined by a personality quirk and their breast size. Possibly the only saving grace for this title is its protagonist Hayato Izumi, as he's among the very few ecchi leads that aren't afraid to take action if his hormones boil over. Of course, he pussies out like any other beta-male, but he still does a lot more than other counterparts delegated to his role. But even with that being said, don't hold your breath, as the TV release was still censored to all hell, with raunchy scenes being swapped out for what I can only describe as collage screenplays (sometimes live-action), leaving the audience to only imply what might be going on. It's more frustrating than funny since it defeats the purpose of it being an ecchi. Watching censored ecchi is like watching an action movie with all the action scenes being blacked out. It's utterly pointless, and really, that's Okusama in a nutshell, utterly pointless. Overall: 2/10 If you just want some fanservice or enjoy being cock-teased, then look no further, as Okusama seem to be dead set on doing just that and nothing more. But honestly, with ecchi shows like Prison School, Highschool DxD and Queen's Blade around, it's hard to even recommend this show even on such simple merits. In this day and age, Okusama is already antiquated.

In recent years, the concept of what is allowed in anime in terms of any kind of lewd media has slowly been changed. It's to the point that the shackles have completely been broken and focusing on which girl has the biggest breasts or who can scream the most lewd has become top priority. And so we have Okusama ga Seitokaichou, or My wife is the student council president, a show that tests this idea, but not as intensely as one may think. Story: Okusama (as I will be calling this show) starts off with our main protagonist Izumi Hayato, a boy who triesto get the student council president spot in order to lead the school into a new era. That is...until his rival, Wakana Ui crashes the party and wins the election by a landslide by promoting a "healthy relationship policy", forcing our main protagonist to become the vice president of the school rather than the coveted student council president. Even more to beat a dead horse, he finds out that this same girl is also his fiancee as organized by their fathers in a drunk meeting when they were just kids. And well, that's...really our story. As a television short, Okusama has a very short runtime and doesn't really give much in terms of content for the show. For the most part during its seven minute runtime, the show gives a quick overview of a given chapter in the manga, with most of its time centered heavily around the more risque areas of the chapters. For the most part, any given episode is a general gist of the setting or period of time that's happening, usually with Hayato thinking "No, I'm not doing anything with this girl", and then proceeds to do stuff with said girl, usually resulting in breast suckling, inappropriate touching, and lewd screams. There really isn't much to say for the show in terms of progression because the characters for the most part stay the same the whole way through and the only real development is time passing with every new episode. One of my biggest complaints about this show is simply the fact that it is a television short. A lot of the story and characters could've become more fleshed out if they were given a proper 30 minute timeframe rather than a tiny seven minute one. In the end, this short didn't really serve to do much more than create sexual tension between an adolescent boy and girl, and there really is already enough of that in the world of anime as is. There wasn't really any variation because it was all ecchi, and ecchi doesn't always make a good show. Plus, the ending was quite lackluster since it just...stops at a random chapter in the manga. Overview: +/- Very ecchi centered (if you're not into that, then you won't like it) - Entire show is basically all ecchi - Not much variation from one episode to another Characters: Characters in Okusama are a bit of a definite distinction. There's Ui, there's Hayato, and then...there's everyone else. Let's start with Wakana Ui, our main female protagonist. Ui is a doubled sided coin. On one hand, she is the dominant president at school who will do everything in her power to enforce her "healthy relationship" policy, and on the other, she's a little kid who begs her "husband" to do everything for her. Her personality is mostly focused on the idea that she is a girl who accepts the engagement and wishes to be a good wife to the main she is "married" to. As her persisting trait, she attempts to get Hayato to love her back the same way which creates the most prominent gag in the anime, which proceeds to create some very dangerous situations. (I will get back to that later.) Apart from her innate traits, she is very one-sided, not broadcasting any form of character development or anything of the sort, so don't expect anything like that. (This is just a seven minute short after all.) And then there's Izumi Hayato, the male protagonist. Unlike Ui, Hayato is very resentful to the idea of the marriage the two of them share, as he doesn't like the idea of having Ui as his wife and is very much against the idea of this girl just coming into his life and proclaiming that she is married to him. That is, until the male hormones kick in, then things get interesting. Unlike a lot of other male protagonists that share a similar situation, Hayato does have a "breaking point". Most male characters that have a temptress flaunt their goods at them tend to just shy away or even run from the situation entirely. Hayato isn't like that. Instead, he will dive straight into those boobies and suck out whatever they're good for. While it is honestly quite refreshing to see this trait, it also serves as the show's downfall. As a direct result, it creates these low brow ecchi moments that really don't serve much purpose aside from cheap and overused fanservice. Does a justice, but hits the series hard at the same time. Aside from those two, the other characters in the series include Misumi, the disciplinary head with the cow tits, her loli boobrest Sawatari, other members of the student council, and Ui's parents. All of them are presented as one note characters, with each getting about ten or so minutes of screentime maximum since their purpose in the series is to become a plot device that only either drives the story along, or serves to create more ecchi moments. Cause lord knows we can't have enough of those. :p Really though, they're only plot devices in this anime, so they're not worth talking about too much. Overview: + Different character trait for an Ecchi Protag - All of the characters are very one sided - Side characters are simply plot devices above all else Art: The art for Okusama is very standard for this day and age. It has a very light color scheme so everything shimmers off to the point that everything kind of looks like Key's Clannad (right down to the eye designs, kind of) and it all looks rather bland to be honest. Everything is kind of a beige color and there really isn't much color pop for the series to be proud about. And since this is an ecchi show, talking about the ecchi's art in this show is a must. Since the entire show save for maybe three minutes in a given episode is ecchi to some degree, the show surprisingly enough, shows uncensored footage for its release. (Odd for a TV short.) Meaning when you watch this show anywhere, you'll be getting every bit of breast they show, and every sexy moment that they squeeze into a seven minute time frame. Is it done tastefully? Not exactly, but it's not entirely cringeworthy to watch. It does get tired after a while though. Overview: + Uncensored release +/- Average art style - Bland color scheme - Ecchi gets boring after seeing it so many times Sound: The soundtrack for Okusama is just basically its opening and its ending. The opening is the more memorable of the two for being catchy to a degree, but neither song really has much impact on the show as a whole. Personal Enjoyment: As someone who has read the Okusama manga, this adaptation was honestly subpar at best. Looking at the anime at face value, there really isn't much to say about it. It's an anime about a girl and a guy who end up getting into some pretty risque situations before ending the episode and wait till next week where we'll see them tease each other in a different place. There really wasn't much variation from one episode to the next and in terms of basing it from the actual manga itself, was hardly really there save for the story progression and the base character personalities. Did I like this anime? I liked it to a degree. Since I like the Okusama manga, I was tolerable towards this adaptation because I knew what was going to happen and I have a good feel for the character in this series. Aside from that though, not much else. What didn't I like about this anime? I didn't like the fact that the show just focused solely on the ecchi while not entirely focusing on any sort of story elements that occurred within the chapters they decided to animate. Aside from that however, a few important characters, Misumi for example, didn't really play as big of a part as she should've which left a bit of a bad taste in my mouth. No one was fleshed out and it felt a lot more generic than it really should've been. Plus, the ecchi is very distracting. Would I recommend this anime? If you're a fan of ecchi, then you will like this because it's all ecchi. If you don't like ecchi, then skip it. It's a seven minute series that runs for 12 episodes, so it doesn't take that long to run through it, but if you're not fond of seeing fanservice to a high degree, I would very much recommend skipping this.

My Okusama ga Seitokaichou! review. OPPAI My ratings: Story: Pathetic 1. Art: Good 7. Sound: Fair 6. Character: Poor 3. Enjoyment: Good 7. Overall: Pathetic 1. For an 8 minute and 12 episode anime, this was really not a good one, so no more BS. Story (up), the plot was as basic as it can be, it just involves a girl moving into the guy's life and thing were never the same....you might say that there really isn't a story at all, so it was really as pathetic as it can be. Art (up) tbh the rating I gave was for the fanservice since it was the only thing that makes this animefun to watch. Sound (up) well I simply have nothing much to say about the sound except that I do find the opening and closing theme befitting in this anime. Character (up) what can I say, this anime is just all about Ui Wakana and Hayato Izumi, whom I always wish that they just start banging on each other and not just limit it to foreplay, thought I also like Rin Misumi I jaz basically see her as a 5th wheel. Enjoyment (up) basically it's the fanservice and the titillating scene that were the enjoyable part of this anime, everything else are just BS cu'z it was just all foreplay and no actual banging, overall (up) it was really too pathetic even in it's manga form, frankly they should have went hentai with this thing, so that those whom would wanna play with there joy stick can do it in the comfort of their lonesome. Oppai!

If you're just watching it for the uncensored version, then you're fine. But for the rest of us, even if this was just a mini series, it doesn't really offer anything new. There's really nothing much to say. Story: There's not much really to talk about this show because it's a short series, and nothing much at all happens. It's about a pair of couples who promised to marry their children to each other, basically. And now Izumi has to live with and is apparently married to Wakana Ui, the student council president at their school. Art: It's consistent throughout the series. If you're watching the uncensoredversion it's the better of the two since you're not hindered with annoying censorship. The coloring and the animation is alright, serviceable at best. Character: This is show's weakest points. Izumi Hayato is every reluctant brown hair male protagonist archetype. It's no excuse that I say there's nothing much to say, because there's nothing much to say. Everyone is pretty derivative, and don't pull that fanboy shit on me defending it. Wakana has no range as the heroine, unless you're counting the teases. But that's not at all character. The rest of the cast such as the disciplinary committee and Wakana's parents are simply rushed in and rushed out. They're just there. Enjoyment: Characters are average, simply making the ecchi average or worse. It's no enjoyment if the characters themselves aren't anything special to boot. Overall: There's nothing to say, really, I really do mean that. It's not the worse thing I've ever seen, which if it were, I could criticize this show much further and elaborate my points. But this is just Ayy lmao.
