This show is completely nuts. As SHAFT is my favorite anime studio ever, and as they animated this show, craziness was to be expected. But, not that crazy.
A 30 Second Commercial of Arakawa
**I would do an OP and ED review, but there was none yet. I’m guessing that there will be one soon.**
So. Kou Ichinomiya is a executive about to be the president of a famous company. He is introduced, and then the viewers learn he has no pants on. They were stolen and put up high on the bridge.

So, he ends up meeting Nino. A homeless person that claims she’s from Venus.
Kou attempts to get his pants back, and almost flashes Nino. Because something got caught on his boxers, which he should have seen.
An “Under Construction” sign.
The entire pole he’s climbing up drops him into the water. Nino saves him, and he’s now in a debt, which he can get asthma attacks from. So, now he hasĀ to do everything in his power to repay his debt. Reminds me of another series…*coughHayatenoGotokucough*
So, stuff happens and he meets a Kappa. Or, at least a guy dressed as one.

Same VA as Nozomu from SZS. So, "ZETSUBOUSHITA!" is appropriate here.
Anyways, not much to say about this show, other than the fact that it’ll be a mindfreak for sure.
More posts on this series soon. I’m positive of that.
I’m not sure if I can take another SHAFT show so soon after Vampire Bund. Still, I might check this out.
