Dakara Boku Wa H Ga Dekinai

[TypicalIdiotFan]

I thought about using a translation for the title, but there doesn't seem to be a consensus on it.  The literal translation is something like "but I can't do H", which sounds stupid.  Crunchyroll translates it to "So I Can't Play H" which is really stupid.  Thus I'm not going to bother.  I think the title is supposed to be from the vantage point of our hero, which seems to have been explained by the end of the first episode (wherein his shinigami partner wont allow him to do H things to her).  So, whatever.

I like guilty pleasures that try hard to be more than just a retarded guilty pleasure.  So far this one is on the right track, though watching it on Crunchyroll is going to be damned near impossible.  Much like R-15, the censorship is just obnoxious.  How am I supposed to enjoy pervy goodness if everything is covered up by a magic white beam of light?

The annoying thing is: The manga is much more entertaining. They changed a bunch of stuff for the sake of fanservice.

So what you're saying is that magic white beam of light... or BETA laser... is avenging the original manga by covering up the added fanservicy bits?

Whatever happens with this series, you won this thread with that line.  Good show, sir.

[leokiko.]

No. I mean that the comedy is much better, the character's personalities are much less annoying and there is less fanservice. =]

I skimmed my way through this episode.  This series is just so boring.  I'd rather watch Maken-Ki again.  That was a much better show, haha.

OH GOD THIS SHOW IS JUST HI-LARIOUS.

[SQA]

Did something funny happen and I should watch ep 4, or was it just even more stupid?  I, somehow, can actually watch most tits shows, but this one just doesn't work for me.

Too many shows on hiatus, so I ended up watching this episode.  Mostly out of boredom.

So, I just watched a MC memorize parts of a dictionary to recall erotic memories/magazines so he can power up the main Harem member's powers.   Yes, it really is that stupid.  Oh, and the two side female harem members are really down on the MC for no apparent reason.

I don't honestly give a damn about the show itself anymore.  I just want to watch the MC be as perverted as possible from here on out.  There's something about the unapologetic horndog that I find appealing.

That was ****ing weird. It wasn't even funny; it was just weird. What the hell happened? Felt like the episode was done by a different director or something. Why this sudden memorizing-words shit? It doesn't even make any sense. The horny Ryousuke and tsundere Lisara were working just fine; why tamper with something that's just fine?

Update:

Up to episode 7 or 8 or something.  Anyway, the show has deviated into a rescue arc, which has an accompanying physical phenomenon wherein my wrist fractures from putting so much of my head weight upon it.  I'm not sure what makes my head so much heavier during those moments... maybe it's the permanent scowl on my face.  Has there ever been research done on whether physical facial characteristics can influence the mass of one's dome?  Someone should look into it and find a cure, because my wrists can't take much more of this.

Man, is this show taking a turn for the most depressing. And I'm not really enjoying it. Whatever happened to the days when the show had fun portraying Ryousuke simply as this horny bastard? This show doesn't recognize what works for its own good.

[SQA]

I think you're assuming Ryousuke worked as a character in the first place.

[TypicalIdiotFan]

I think he has.  I mean, for an extremely limited comedic character, yeah.  But AC's right, when they try to go this grimdark on us, it doesn't work.  Then again, pretty much everything since the beginning of the "rescue arc" has been out of place.  The rescue felt like one of those rushed and stupid anime-only endings that have all the impact of a feather boa on Hulk Hogan; yeah, it kind of works if you're not concerned with aesthetics but, what the hell are you doing?  But for this to go beyond the anime-only ending and head straight into world apocalypse seems a bit heavy.  As Syndrome put it in The Incredibles when referring to Mr. Incredible killing someone, "this seems a bit dark for you..."

And it is.  Like Mr. Incredible's bluff, nobody is buying it.  And a lot of it has to do with every character just being one big gag to this point.
