Let's Talk About Mitsudomoe
Oh my, the haters are hating this one. Let’s start with a quote, shall we?
Mitsudomoe’s opening reminds me of everything that is wrong with anime today. Well done. – The Golden Waste
So far it seems that Mitsudomoe is the Seitokai no Ichizon of this season. It’s the one show that I find hysterical, yet everyone else finds it totally unfunny, lame, or even creepy. And there’s the people criticizing it simply because it has “moe” in the title, without even knowing the actual meaning.
You might not find this show funny, and that’s fine and all. The humor’s not for everyone. I’ve run across plenty of shows that people claim are funny and yet had no effect on me whatsoever. Humor is subjective, and this seems to be no exception.
That said, I freaking love this show so far. Every minute in the first 2 episodes was full of non-stop laughs for me. The three girls are just so crazy, abnormal, and random that it completely cracks me up. Yes, the three sisters are character tropes we’ve seen before, but the way in which the jokes are executed are what make this show so good. Right when I’m about to recover from laughing my ass off at one joke, another one pops up in my face. I barely have time to breathe when I watch this show.
Definitely try it out if you haven’t already. The humor is definitely meant for older audiences, but that doesn’t mean this show is “lolicon” or anything creepy like that. The three girls are very good at keeping their clothes on, so unless you’re scrutinizing every detail and deliberately looking for it, you shouldn’t find anything creepy about this show.
Mitsudomoe is available on Crunchyroll

Neat. I thought a more colloquial meaning for Mitsudomoe was “three-way battle” or something like that. Shows how little I know.
Mitsudomoe seems to be your stock comedy – either you find it funny, or you don’t.. but there’s really not much else on offer in case the humor doesn’t do it for you.
Sense of humor’s a funny thing in and of itself.. I mean, I didn’t laugh much at all while watching Arakawa last season, but Gag Manga had me in stitches.
For a slightly older guy like me the show’s “creepy” less in a lolicon manner, and more for the fact that the kids get away with things I wouldn’t have gotten away with in my time.
And I’m just in my 20′s, so it creeps me out either way; either kids are just really getting away with a lot these days, or I was just stuck in a horribly boring primary school.
Hey look, one person is hatin’ on Mitsudamoe. That clearly means everyone else is!
Really now, I’ve seen very little in the way of hate for this show. Most people seem to kinda like it or don’t find toilet humour particularly funny.
Every season there’s ALWAYS a show that gets picked on by the wolf pack, this time it’s mitsudomoe. I mean, it’s not a particular blogger, suddenly a whole horde of them get aggressive
Personally I wouldn’t find it creepy even if it was lolicon, but I’m still amazed at the fact that people always try to find something morally questionable to criticize a show instead of just accepting they don’t like it and moving on
And well, I think it’s normal for people to have different tastes, so not everyone is going to like a particular show. I know I don’t like many anime, even popular ones. I don’t really like HOTD, I dind’t like Durarara, but when you just don’t like something, I think most of the time the most sensible thing to do is just drop it, and forget about it. But for some people, criticizing is just a form of entertainment
@Scamp: I cited one example, yes, but I personally have seen numerous other posts / statements criticizing the show. I feel the one quote I provided was sufficient enough (also note the “Retweeted by 4 people” in that tweet).
I find it funny in many ways…the nurse, what a clutz…i’m glad we never had to submit pee samples in school…sheesh
I find the show funny, but like any humor show out there the humor is subjective. Now I think there were some jokes that went close to being done for too long, the “urine sample” scene in Episode 2 is an example, plus the cicada scene in episode 2 wasn’t really that humorous, but overall it was still very funny.
I’m kinda iffy about picking this anime up the description felt kinda creepy when I think adult hanging out with 3 little kids I think lollicon >.<
This anime is seriously got ups and downs. While it might have humor inside of how an elementary school teacher is having trouble with bunch of elementary school kids – it kind of shows of what it might have been in Asian school community. However, the major down side was that the Japan animation community have brought this subject in a wrong way. Title is kind of very wrong to choose for people – especially international fans. The word “moe” will make them think that it’s quite lolicon-ish subject. But I am sure license team will translate it into a different title.
Aside from the fact that the series do keep it to it’s right subject (no pantsu, no naked contents) – Except the Teacher. But anyways, that’s not the point. The point is – I haven’t noticed any ecchi contents. It’s been 2 episodes, and 3rd one will come out. But we’ll see how the series goes, yes?
I still give my opinion of 3 out of 10 on this. Not because it’s “lolicon” subject, but because I haven’t found the humors of this anime to be exactly funny.
