What I’m Watching: Girls Bravo!

Lisa, Miharu, Kirie, and Koyomi

Poor Yukinari has a problem. He’s allergic to girls. Whenever he comes into contact with one, his skin breaks out in a rash. The only exception to his allergy is Miharu, a pink-haired girl from the planet Seiren.

Honestly, his allergy isn’t much of an issue. Aside from some red dots that appear on his skin when a girl touches him, he suffers no adverse effects. It’s kinda like having non-contagious measles or chicken pox. I don’t see what the big deal is, other than girls being scary an’ all.

Miharu is a naive girl who has to learn how things work on Earth. There was a delightfully perverse scene where she first discovers bananas. The marketplace vendor weaves a nostalgic tale of his first taste of bananas and how it led to his desire to sell fruit, while Miharu demonstrates her fellatio techniques on a banana in the background.

At first, I figured Girls Bravo was a typical boy-meets-girl comedy anime with Miharu set up as Yukinari’s one true love (or whatever), since he can actually touch her without the hives. But the show quickly turned into a harem series as more cute girl characters were added. They all, of course, live with Yukinari, except Kirie, the buxom, athletic human girl who secretly harbors affections for Yukinari.

I’m ten episodes into the eleven-episode first season, and I’ve come to realize there is no overall plot to the show, which I guess makes it reminiscent of a sitcom. It’s not a bad way to spend a lunch hour thanks to Netflix streaming, but I probably won’t be adding this to my collection anytime soon.
