Taichi takes the ideal of the nice-guy harem lead to its logical conclusion. He’s such a selfless person that his role models are “jobbers” in wrestling, who let themselves get beaten up.

As usual, here’s my rankings of the season’s new shows based on the first couple episodes. You can click the links for details, so I’ll keep the discussion of each short.

I wanted to enjoy this show, I did. How could it go wrong? It’s about SPACE PIRATES!!! It has a fabulous setting: a vast galaxy filled with mysteries and treasure, and a crew that’s ready to do some piracy. What could possibly go wrong?
But instead of a swashbuckling adventure, we were treated to an adaption of Afternoon Tea Time in Space. The main differences are that a) instead of a variety of snack foods, we are limited to parfaits, and b) instead of a cute turtle, we have spaceships.
Which is cuter?
