But as it stands, it is a confused story, unaware of its potentials, unsure of what it wants to be. If it were longer, that could possibly have become more a reality than a feeling. It feels less an ecchi anime and more a romance. Every character within the anime is a genuinely kind and decent person, and it is palpably clear that they have feelings for the other with regards to more than just their body. It develops the relationship between the protagonist and their respective heroine in a fairly cute and innocent way, even if there may be a bit (a lot) of sexual tension along the way. Little about Getsuyoubi no Tawawa's story makes it seem like the typical ecchi anime. If it were deliberately trying to be sexy or pornographic there would be little issue, but instead it attempts to be cute and heartwarming. It is as if the show just surrenders to the notion that anime is synonymous with these tropes and is incapable of being interesting without. The main heroine is so lacking in other qualities that she is known merely as I-Chan - so named after her colossal cup size. Getsuyoubi no Tawawa seems to think its viewers are so lacking in an attention-span that they cannot even complete a three-minute episode without the heroines' breasts hitting a dude in the face or bursting through their shirt every thirty seconds or so. Sexual situations that would never, ever occur in reality - not so fine! I find myself in a conflicting position, as, while I am a healthy, adult male who enjoys healthy-adult-male-things, I am also bothered by media that contain these things without good reason- or any reason, for that matter. That Getsuyoubi no Tawawa is also heart-warming and not completely terrible is perhaps just secondary to the visual feast. If one of your most cherished things in life includes big-breasted anime chicks whose gozongas defy physics and regularly burst out of their bra for no conceivable reason, why, have I got the anime for you. I'm not discussing artwork, sound, directing, etc. It's great to see a promising author get some recognition and on top of that, with a very good animation quality. Himura has been growing in the doujin scenario for a while, selling a bunch of volumes on Comiket, but receiving a GOOD anime adaptation of his work like this one is opening the door for many future works to come.

This series in particular could be regarded as special for the future of doujinshi and ONA/OVA adaptations because it marks an accomplishment. Maybe it's not your thing, but the short stories are undeniably sweet and will add an extra sugar on your life. Especially if it's accompanied by cute soundtrack and neat VAs.

Tawawa is also slang for "dropping", "overflowing" obvious reference to the amusingly huge racks of the girls appearing on this series. All the stories happen somewhat near it and all the characters are living relatively close to each other, as to say, in the same prefecture. Tawawa is the name of the train station central to the story, where Ai-chan and Salaryman first met.
Way more than you'd expect from a 5min ONA (Original Net Animation) doujinshi-inspired short story. Which shows Ai-chan and Salaryman's relationship evolving as well as the other characters. They are supposed to be cute and heartwarming, not tell the greatest love story ever told.Īnd yes, there's still a solid, concise and well-developed storyline. The original drawings, which this series is based of, were posted on Himura's twitter and were mostly without dialogue until serialization was considered. That's the point.īut there's no plot, it's just fanservice! The situations take unrealistic twists, the girls are unrealistically perfect? That's precisely why the main characters are Japanese salaryman, new episodes were released on Monday, there's Monday on the title, and the original drawings are all in monochrome blue. The purpose of Tawawa, both in its doujinshi and anime form, is to work as a healing antidote against It's fundamentally a compilation of episodic short stories revolving, usually, a main average couple and a mundane event. Getsuyoubi no Tawawa, or Tawawa on Monday, is the anime adaptation of Himura Kiseki's doujinshi series with the same name. Like it? Watch the rest, it gets comfier.
