Ribbon explosion
There was a time when ribbons were cute. Ok, it was the Nanoha/Fate “to remember me by” exchange that was heart warming, but still.
Lately I’ve noticed more and more ribbons. Check out these few screenshots, all from new series (Gift, BALDR Force Exe Resolution, Lovely Idol, Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru).
Lovely onii-chan theme too. And the loli saying onee-chan is talking to a guy in drag, so it still counts.
1. Freakin’ big ribbon(s).
Lovely Idol has 3 characters that fit this (you can see all of ‘em at 3). Still, the girl in Otome Wa is the winner here: her ribbon is not just huge, it’s also meant to make her look like a bunnygirl. W00t! Moe!
2. Too freakin’ many ribbons.
The Gift wins by default. It has 2 blinding scenes in the OP, and Riko who is just too frilly for words. Check her out and notice the lil’ ribbon on the right side of the pillow. Pink hair doesn’t help.
3. Wtf? Is everyone wearing a ribbon?
(brought to you by the spectacularly bad Lovely Idol)
I’ll… just stop here…
Unsurprisingly, I’d say the overall winner is Lovely Idol. It has both huge ribbons (3 characters) and an overabundance of ‘em. (you see them on 5 -five!- main characters). Northy said during a synchro that this show consists 40% of ribbons. Well, ever worse, the rest of it is crappy singing and voice acting.
Still, Riko from the Gift deserves an honorary mention for just looking silly with all those frills. Being in an anime that actually pairs her up with her “but they are not blood related” brother gets her bonus points on the Oniiiiii-chaaaaan scale too.
