Etotama Review

Overall Rating 8.1 out of 10 - Almost perfect waifu show with only a few issues.

I recommend watching.

Finally, a good waifu show and there is whole 13 of them in this one. Actually, I watched several other good waifu shows recently, Frame Arms Girl, Busou Shinki and SeHa Girls, but I wanted to say that anyhow as so many other shows failed to live to my expectations. 

There are 13 girls in total and most of them are very likable. Personality wise Mei-tan (sheep) and Shar-tan (snek) and Uri-tan are the best. I like appearance of chicken-tan as well as of Nya-tan.

They all are very well drawn. All slightly wider at the hip area, just like girls should be. Even with semi-chibi appearance you can see wideness of Nya-tan hip bone. Also, these huge innocent eyes. When it comes to drawing Eto-girls sexy and innocent at the same time, this animator team leave many other far behind. Each girl is different to suit different tastes in women, but none of the 13 annoys me for any reason, quite an achievement considering that some other shows manage to annoy me with every single female member of the cast.

What is even better is that all these girls live and work on male approval alone. They call it Sol/Lull. That is so convenient in managing them. It's so adorable how they crave it. The uwu moe level of this show is probably even higher than that of K-On!

Art is great even beyond girls themselves. Vibrant colors, sophisticated decorations that look both very modern and very traditional at the same time. Modern because of the neon colors they are colored with. And traditional because of curvy roofs and tori gates. The show is beautiful through and through. 

Zodiac theme and chibi battles adds well to the whole idea of the show. That gives a story excuse to make girls themed after animals. That is good because I like to degrade girls into animals and objects. Cat girls are cute, so Nya-tan is in even if there is no cat in Chinese Zodiac. Vietnamese Zodiac does replace bunny with cat, but then we would not have playboy bunny girl. Girls transform into smaller versions of themselves and battle each other. There battles are well animated and interesting to watch.

They have comedic elements as well, because of them it's never boring to watch. It's not a full blown Gintama but fun and nice in its own way.

One somewhat upsetting part is the whole Chu-tan story. You cannot fix deep rooted grunges in such a way. Al least her battle with Nya-tan was very entertaining to watch. However, this is a minor thing compared to overall enjoyment of the show. 

I like seeing girls abusing each other for my entertainment, this show has plenty of that. More than plenty in fact.

Overall, I recommend this show to everyone. Lo and behold a real entertainment and waifus that are actually attractive. Thus spoke Emperor Thor.
