OtoBoku Vol. 2

Today, I received OtoBoku Vol. 2. I enjoyed it just as I did the last one. Here is my review (Note: the real boxart has orange text instead of blue, I will upload a picture later on for you too see).

OtoBoku Vol. 2

Price- $13.50 at deepdiscount

Language audio- Japanese

Subtitles- English

Video- The visuals are fantastic to me. Great backgrounds, colorful, and nice animation. The quality never drops, keeping keeping up the calm feeling with a smooth frame rate.

Audio- The audio was great too. The seiyū do fantastically by making the viewer feel as if real emotion is there. The quality of the audio is alway high. I didn't notice any drop outs or fuzziness.

Story (WARNING: There may be spoilers beyond this point)- This volume starts with the summer and goes to fall. Focussing a little more on the supporting cast, they talk about why Mariya has such a grudge against Takako . Yukari opens up to Mizuho about her Onee-san also. For those that want to see Mizuho and Mariya together, you may be in luck. Though the cliff hanger last episode for this volume left me wanting more. Overall, it has a nice story, not over the top in any way, and they don't make Mizuho a pervert. Even though it's an all girls high school and there are some lesbian hints, you don't come away feeling dirty.

Pros- Nice animation, clean visuals, COLORS!!, nice audio, good story, funny, heartwarming.

Cons- Needs a little more extras, cliffhanger ending, 2 or 3 minor typos.

Final Grade- A
