Ookami-san: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

At Otogi Academy, there is an organization that helps people out, the Otogi Bank. Headed by the Kiriki cousins, Liszt and Alice, their members consist of the maid Tsurugaya Otsuu, the mad scientist/witch Majolica le Fay, the couple of Otohime Ryugu and Taro Urashima, and a prominent fighting duo, Ryoko Okami and Ringo Akai, the wolf and Little Red Riding Hood. One day, Ryoko is confessed to by the painfully shy Ryoshi Morino, who finds himself <s>shanghaied into</s> joining the Otogi Bank to help people.

** This is not the first [[Spice and Wolf|wolf]] that [[Brina Palencia]] has played.

*** To a lesser extent, Nekomiya is [[Jerry Jewell]]'s second [[Fruits Basket|catboy]].

* [[Alertness Blink]]: Every once in a while, including in the first episode.

* [[Anything That Moves]]: Momoko Kibitsu (alias Momo-chan-senpai), who hits on both Ryoko ''and'' Ryoshi within minutes of her first appearance in episode 5.

* [[Battle Couple]]: Ryoko and Ryoshi.

* [[Beautiful All Along]]: Subverted; we knew Otohime was cute before we found out she used to be [[Hollywood Pudgy|a little bit fat]] and lost weight, becoming the beautiful, insane girl we see in the show. Of course, the reason why she decided to lose her extra mass is [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|absolutely adorable.]]

** Is there a stigma in the anime world between this trope and [[Black Lagoon|those names]]?

* [[Buxom Is Better]]: Disciplinary Committee Chairman Momoko Kibitsu is revered mostly for her "talents".

* [[Cannot Spit It Out]]: Averted with Ryoshi, who immediately confesses to Ryoko in the first episode. However, played straight with Ryoko, who constantly either avoids the issue altogether, or something else happens that then requires their attention and is forgotten. Machiko calls Ryoko out on this in episode 12, and she still doesn't exactly give a clear answer.

* [[Catgirl|Cat Boy]]: Saburo Nekomiya, the mysterious boy based on ''Puss in Boots''

* [[Death Glare]]: Ryoko's ''default'' expression.

* [[Deliberately Cute Child]]: Ringo. Don't let her demeanor fool you.

* [[Distressed Damsel]]: Averted. While the delinquents in Episode 2 have kidnapped and bound Ryoko, she's not sitting still and waiting for a rescue. We see her actively trying to cut her own ropes before the rest of the team show up to lend a hand.

** Played straight in episode 12.

* [[Everyone Can See It]]: Nearly everyone in the club gets a smirk on their face when Ryoshi and Ryoko are near each other.

* {{spoiler|[[Evil Former Friend|Evil Former Boyfriend]]: It's implied that Ryoko and Hitsujikai had something going until the whole attempted rape thing.}}

* [[Extremity Extremist]]: Ryoko is a boxer.

** Saburo fights exclusively with kick attacks.

** Also, Momoko [[Gainaxing|provides]] [[Whip It Good|plenty]].

* [[Fan Disservice]]: The narrator actually lampshades this during Ryoko's shower scene in the first episode of the dub, if only because of Ryoko's [[Pettanko|lack of assets]].

* [[First Blood]]: Things got real in {{spoiler|Ryoshi and Shiro's fight when Ryoshi's counter drew blood. Until Liszt and Ringo decided to show up.}}

* [[Fractured Fairy Tale]]: Most of the characters are based off of fairy tale characters or stories, though the characterizations often have been warped beyond recognition. See Characters for their tales.

* [[Gainaxing]]: Otsu in the anime's OP, and Momoko ''all the time''.

* [[Genre Savvy]]: Machiko Himura knows the anime rules for getting attention, deliberately invoking [[Late for School]] and a [[Panty Shot]] (panties with her name on them!).

* [[Gold Digger]]: Machiko. {{spoiler|Though mainly because she wanted to get her and her father out of debt.}}

* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: The narrator is [[To Aru Majutsu no Index|Shirai Kuroko]]

** And Mimi Usami? She's [[Rie Kugimiya|TEH RIE]]! She is not lovable in any way though.

** Looking at the Japanese cast list, one can be forgiven for thinking they are reusing the cast of ''[[To Aru Majutsu no Index]]''.

** Ryoshi's English VA sounds exactly like another [[Sekirei|guy surrounded by girls.]]

* [[Hit Stop]]: In Ryoshi and Shiro's fight.

* [[Hope Spot]]: {{spoiler|Ryoshi had one during his fight with Shiro when he thought about why he was fighting and what Saburo said to him before the fight.}}

* [[Hypercompetent Sidekick]]: Though Liszt is nominally the president, it's Alice who does all the work.

* [[Identity Amnesia]]: {{spoiler|Ryoko has an interesting variation of this in episode 7 where she reverts back to her pre-assault persona.}}

* [[Punch-Punch-Punch Uh-Oh]]: Happens when Ryoko punches the delinquent boss in the second episode.

** And again when Ryoshi punches the same guy in episode 5.

* [[Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs]]: Shiro's style of fighting.

* [[Real Song Theme Tune]]: A cover of Lazy's "Akazukin-chan Goyoujin" is the ending theme.

* [[Saying Sound Effects Out Loud]]: In the first episode, "Staaaaare~".

* [[Saying Too Much]]: After her bout with [[Easy Amnesia]], Ryoko is walking home with Ringo. Ryoko informs Ringo that she doesn't remember anything from the time where she had regressed to her younger self. {{spoiler|When Ringo asks Ryoko if she's hungry, Ryoko tells her she's still full from the parfait she ate. Except she ate that parfait during the time she claims she can't remember. Ringo quickly realizes that Ryoko does indeed remember, and uses that information to blackmail her into wearing [[Hair Decorations|a cute little ribbon in her hair.]]}}

* [[Slasher Smile]]: Hitsujikai has one.

* [[Shout-Out]]: Loads of fairy tales and loads of anime.

*** Made even funnier considering their enemy, and the one who they were dressing up to undermine, is a pink haired loli with a sadistic streak, voiced by [[Rie Kugimiya]].

** There's also [[Hans Christian Andersen|Andersen's]] Girls School and [[The Brothers Grimm (Creator)|Grimm]] café.

** Otsu references her seiyuu's catch phrase, that [[Mahoromatic|"Dirty thoughts are bad!"]]

* [[Sound Effect Bleep]]: Specifically in Episode 3, swear words are covered by Pig Squeals made by the narrator...

{{quote| You OINK-ing lying SQUEE!! Why don't you go put some deodorant on your SQUEAL!! ''[[Crowning Moment of Funny|("Oh, so many words we're not allowed to broadcast.")]]''}}

** Ami also counts. After being given an umbrella by one of the baseball players, she starts sneaking into his house to do chores/make dinner...and roll around in his bed and look at his girly mags. (Ringo, of course, finds this delightful in an even creepier way.)

* [[Stealth Hi Bye]]: Ringo does this at least once, and the club president does this as well occasionally.
