On the second day of Christmas my true love gave to me…

2 Guchuko’s

And a cruise on a nice boat for free!

While School Days was undoubtedly the most talked about show among the summer anime this year, Potemayo was the real sleeper hit, in my opinion.

The sheer silliness of the concept and the slapstick humor made it surprisingly enjoyable, as well as giving it lots of replay value.

I didn’t initially bother to watch the series when it first aired. I was finally convinced, however, when I stumbled across an episode summary that included some screenshots of Guchuko scything Moriyama’s front door in half, only to carefully tape it back together again before leaving.

This was all it took to convince me to watch.

While Potemayo, the show’s namesake, was also wonderfully entertaining (SHAAAAAAAAA!!), Guchuko really stole the show. With her deadly attacks and scowling face in stark contrast to her fuzzy, plushie exterior and frequent blushes, Guchuko is the very epitome of what it means to be tsundere. Even her tendency to slice things in half only to put them back together afterwards is evidence of that.

A purple-haired, scythe-wielding, beamspamming, tsundere moe blob? Come on, how can you not love it?
