Kodomo no Omocha

[Bob Schroeck]

If you haven't seen this yet, you should get yourself over to Kodocha Anime and buy yourself a few dozen episodes. (Don't worry, they're very reasonable -- something like 3 tapes of five or six eps each for $19.) In short, this is the story of an eccentric and hyperactive 12-year-old actress named Sana Kurata, better known simply as Sana-chan, and of the cast of characters who surround her. I cannot adequately explain the series -- you really need to see it to understand some of its infamous bizarrities; to give you a bit of an idea what it's like, I once described it thusly:

---

"Imagine, if you will, Marmalade Boy, as written by the Marx Brothers and Judith Krantz, on acid. And speed, can't forget the speed."

---

And I think that's all that needs be said on the topic.

And, I should add, it helps in understanding why this girl would ID someone as 'Her Pimp' and not mean it in a way that sends poor Rei-kun to the Emergancy room via the Sangior express."I was an Otaku before those kids came along and changed the meaning of the word."

Until she actually develops something like a relationship with Hayama (and until at the same time Rei and his old girlfriend meet each other again and re-establish their relationship), Sana thinks of Rei as her boyfriend. Until he and his ex-girlfriend hook up again, he humors her, which really doesn't help.
