Good evening readers (Unless of course you're from America, good morning, or the UK, then good afternoon),

Well today I will be reviewing a comedy anime, "Inu x Boku SS!"

Soushi (Left) & Shirakiin (Right)

Our story begins when Ririchiyo Shirakiin, an ojou-sama (rich girl), moves into the apartment complex Maison de Ayakashi. She has the standard character of an ojou-sama, obnoxious and full of pride, however, she's very soft inside.

Everything appears normal in the first few minutes of the first episode, just a girl moving into her new house, but then I find out what the 'SS' in the title means. SECRET SERVICE. Yes, this is no normal apartment complex, its one with PERSONAL SECRET AGENTS at your command.

Like every other normal person's, Shirakiin says NO to her assigned agent, Soushi Miketsukami. However, the very same day, burglars break in and its then when she realizes another thing. EVERYONE in the apartment has SUPERNATURAL POWERS. Because of that incident, Shirakiin, touched by Soushi's self-sacrifice, accepts Soushi as her agent.

One MORE THING, Soushi looks like someone I've seen somewhere, is it just me?

Okay, its getting a bit weird, Supernatural Combat Secret Service Agent Servants weird.

So that's it, I don't have much else to go on. Oh yeah, this IS AN ECCHI by the way. Compared to the other animes I have watched, this season's ECCHI standard has become more severe.

Awwww...

Yeah, so ECCHI don't have much plot, but hey, I could be wrong. It seems that a seriously good plot is developing in this anime.



For theme, it is a servant-master sort of relationship going on throughout Shirakiin and Soushi, which at most times is very hilarious for some scenes.

Atmosphere, since the ECCHI is not randomly expressed, it has a smooth progression, in which there is plot and action, but sometimes, the action scenes are very random with no meaning as to why they occurred.

LESB?

It's a good anime if you're looking for some laughs and moe I guess, but other than that its not really at the top of my list. (BRS is. XD)




Inu x Boku SS has 12 episodes, and premiered on January 12th, along with the Winter 2011 season. It is currently at episode 5, and is being fansubbed by EveTaku, Hadena, Commie (Where I went to get it) and Zenyaku. There is also a manga with 6 volumes.



Hint: BRS? (Ha that's not a hint, that's the answer!)

Enjoy SCSSAS!
