So, I Can't Play H...

Recently, I ordered So, I Can't Play H...
Never make a deal with a wet goddess you've only just met. That's a lesson Ryosuke Kaga learns the hard way when he foolishly agrees to let Lisara Restole use some of his "essence" to stay in this world. Despite her smoking-hot appearance, Lisara's actually a Shinigami, a Goddess of Death. However, she doesn't steal years off his life like any decent Shinigami would do. Oh no, instead she sucks off his lecherous spirit, draining his ability to enjoy... well, the things that teenage boys normally spend most of their time thinking about!

Now the poor degenerate's only hope of getting his licentiousness renewed is to join the Lisara on her quest, since when she leaves our mortal plane he regains his normal immorality! But Shinigami can be really harsh mistresses, and it's going to be anything but easy to go back to being sleazy!
My local video store didn't carry it, so, I had to order it from my favorite anime retailer. I thought that So, I Can't Play H might be something of interest... It remains to be seen if So, I Can't Play H will be as interesting as the back of the box makes it sound, but, I remain optimistic...

After watching half of the series, my optimism about the series is beginning to fade. Obviously there is going to be some fan service -- which is not necessarily a bad thing. So far, one can expect bare breasts, bare bottoms, a few instances of full-frontal nudity, but, no naughty bits. Clearly, the younger anime fan among us will need to stay away.

And, obviously the premise of the series will require viewers to suspend disbelief to a great degree -- this is also not necessarily a bad thing. There is a fair amount of action in the series. But, as I continue watching the series, I'm beginning to notice a trend towards monster-of-the-week scenarios. I'm finding myself fast-forwarding through some of the battles because it's becoming a bit monotonous.

At the halfway mark, I've reached a point where things are beginning to look a bit more interesting, but, at this point, I'm not as optimistic as I was when So, I Can't Play H came home with me... At this point, I'm inclined to give So, I Can't Play H a 2 out of 5.
