Inugami-san to Nekoyama-san - Episode 2


Time for more lighthearted homosexual slice of life ridiculousness with high school girls that embody various animals or something. What zany misadventures will the girls get into this time? I don't really know. LET'S ANIME IT UP DUDES AND DUDINES!

What Happens
The episode begins with Inugami tripping over some tiny girl and being all like, "Oh who are you?" The girl replies that her name is Nezu Mikine, some part of which is probably the Japanese word for a mouse since she's small, quiet, eats cheese, and is apparently nocturnal.

CHEESE!

Inugami becomes infatuated with her and later at lunch tells Aki and Nekoyama that she made a new friend. Nekoyama gets jealous because lesbianism or something but Inugami's all like, "You have nothing to worry about! My love for you will never change!" I've decided that Nekoyama is the best lesbian of the bunch so far since she's pretty much got a lesbian mullet going on.

After lunch Nezu asks Inugami if she's in any clubs. She is not. Nezu says that there's something she wants to put Inugami in which seems like it's probably some sort of double entendre in Japanese that doesn't really work when translated into English. The thing she wants to put Inugami in is Biology Club.

After school Nezu, Inugami and Nekoyama all head to Biology Club which is called Alive or something. They talk about this and I'm guessing it's another pun or something that doesn't work so well in English. The club consists of but two people: Nezu and an older girl named Ushiwaka Yujiki. Some portion of her name is undoubtedly the Japanese word for "cow." She has giant boobs and is clumsy and slow.

She greets the newcomers and promptly trips and falls on Nezu who later introduces her to the others as her wife. Ushiwaka tells them that all they really do in Biology Club is hang out and drink tea which the other two are about. Nezu then tells Nekoyama that they should be friends since they're both small or some shit, but Nekoyama gets pissed off and is like, "I'm bigger than you!"

At some later point in time, Aki and Nekoyama go and see Inugami and Nezu. Inugami's hanging all over Nezu so Nekoyama gets pissed off again and then they talk about units. I don't know what units they're talking about but apparently it benefits Inugami in someway and she's super excited about it.

And that's it...

Thoughts
The length of this show means that it moves along at a good clip so if a joke doesn't really land they're on to the next thing before you really even have time to groan. This also leads to the show not feeling overly important. It's cute, silly fun, but doesn't really rise above "gag a day" comic strip level in terms of plot or character development.

Giant Robots: Nope.
Lesbian Subtext: This is pretty much the show's raison d'ĂȘtre.
Boobs: Nope.
Body Horror: Nope.
Magical Teen Girls: Nope.
