Before I start, I will assume that everyone reading this already saw the first episode of “Gakusen Toshi Asterisk” or at least saw my review. I will make lots of comparisons because i have to… Seriously, these two looks almost identical at first and both look dangerously generic… But don’t forget the saying: “Don’t judge a book by it’s cover.”
Just like Gakusen Asterisk, we have yet another school where students duel using swords and magic, we have a tsundere princess, MC walks in while girl is changing, etc… Everything sounds as generic as any other LN right? But… What makes Rakudai Kishi different and interesting is the way characters react… It makes you think you are watching a generic anime, lowering your guard, and making you think you know what’s coming and hits you with something out of ordinary…
Rakudai Kishi handles with the cliches so good that it almost feel like you are watching a parody instead of a ecchi/battle anime… First time I read the manga of this series it made me believe in this genre again, I wasn’t ready for such a refreshing manga… Hopefully they will give the LN justice like the manga did…
Question 1-Ikki walks into the room just to see some half naked girl changing clothes, what will he do?
A)Blush and apologize
B)Be afraid and run away
C)Man up and take your clothes off to compensate
D)Man up and put it in
The answer is C, if you want to compare it with Gakusen… Here, he unfortunately chose A…
That’s some sexy underwear… Damn… First time panties alone gave me boner ever since that particular scene from Sora no Otoshimono.
Question 2-Ikki saw that tsundere girl in her underwear already. Damage is done and now she is mad. What will he do?
A)Blush and apologize
B)Claim that he saw nothing
C)Compliment her beauty and unleash the dere
D)Man up and put it in
The answer is C again, that’s how you deal with a tsundere guys. Learn it… Gakusen’s MC chose A in this one too…
Who is she? We shall see in the next episodes… For now she is there just to prevent CUYE from getting mad…
This made me lol. She creates all those fire&stuff but the fire alarm goes off only after she blushes…
Question 3-That guy who saw her sexy underwear is sound asleep right in front of her. She wants revenge… What will Stella do?
A)Mumble “It’s not like I…….” and run away
B)Draw some whiskers on him and laugh
C)Try to kiss him just to be cock-blocked by some other girl
D)Woman up and put it in
Answer is D this time (Well… almost…)…
You know that look… That’s “I want the D” look…
Don’t ask me what’s happening here… She touched him and his GARness gave her a instant lady boner? Something along the lines of that…
Tsundere captured…
You know the thing where tsundere girl treats the MC like her slave right? I can name like 10 ecchi anime like that in one go… But then, this happens:
Some Manservice… No? Okay…
Endcard…
Omake:
So… What did you guys think after watching/checking the first episodes? I know I sound a bit biased about this comparison thing, but I watched Rakudai Kishi right after I watched Gakusen Asterisk, and Rakudai Kishi was way superior to Gakusen Asterisk (maybe not animation-wise)… That’s just how I felt and we only saw first episodes. So it may change later on…
