Komori-san Can't Decline... but can you?

Komori-san Can't Decline currently airs on Crunchyroll every Sunday at 10:30 AM EST. New episodes are for Premium subscribers only, while older episodes are for free viewers. Each episode is only two minutes long, and was created by the same team behind I Can't Understand What My Husband Is Saying.

Komori-san can't decline, but she may need to learn to start, judging by the people she lives around.

Komori is a giant middle-schooler with huge breasts and a very adult figure. She's a modest girl with super-human strength, who likes to be helpful, but is usually taken advantage of by her peers. No matter where she goes, people are always asking her to do mundane chores for them, or lift heavy things for them. Adults, kids, you name it, Komori is getting asked by all.

Not helping are Komori's two frenemies. 

Masako is tiny with long, Gothic-dark hair. She is cynical, and still looks like a little girl. Masako usually gains help (albeit embarrassingly so) by having Komori help her up places as if she was a child. She is a bit judgmental.

Megumi is also very short for her age and also cynical. The blonde-pigtailed, blue-eyed girl usually talks smack behind Komori's back, but is quick to ask for help constantly. She has known Komori since they were small children, and is often jealous of the attention Komori gets because of her looks.

A few episodes into the show, we meet Otani, a very small, thin boy at Komori's school, who wants people to rely on him as much as they do Komori. As of this writing, the two sort of have a mini-crush on each other, but do not fully realize their feelings just yet, making for a few cute scenes here and there.

Komori and Otani are sweet kids, but the rest of the cast is very hard to like. There's a bit of humor sprinkled in this fast-paced show, but the writing goes by so quickly that it's hard to keep up sometimes.

The fanservice is here, and so far to a tasteful limit, but it's hard to deny the creep factor of all the camera angles surrounding Komori's bewbs, which would be fine.... if Komori wasn't a middle-schooler.

It's cute and lighthearted, but has about the same appeal as a stick of bubble gum. It just doesn't last. Still, it's an enjoyable way to start a Sunday morning.

I Can't Understand What My Husband Is Saying: But I Love it!!

Crunchyroll currently airs both seasons of I Can't Understand What My Husband Is Saying for free users. As of this writing, it is unclear if a third season is in development or not. Each episode runs three minutes, thirty seconds.

This is an absolute must-see for anybody in a mixed marriage between an otaku and a non-otaku.

I found this show by accident one night while surfing through Crunchyroll, and it really spoke to me. When I first saw it, I was just a week removed from having gotten married. My husband is NOT an otaku, and usually only watches a few anime titles, while I am HUGE on all things anime.

So this show, a Slice of Life that follows an OL (Office Lady) married to a die-hard Otaku really spoke to me.

Kaoru is  cynical, 25 years old and just barely a newlywed OL. In the first season, we see that she smokes, enjoys fine foods and drinking, and is overall subdued and very plain. Her 23 year old husband Hajime on the other hand is a bit high-strung, collects everything and anything anime-related, and still has more than one anime "waifu" to think of outside of Kaoru. He tries to make a living as a blogger and web designer, but Kaoru is the bread-winner with her 9 to 5 job. (Hajime sounds more like me. Hmm...) On the surface, you would think the two don't get along at all, but in truth, one can't do well without the other. They have a healthy sex life, which leads to Kaoru's pregnancy between the first and second seasons.

Joining the couple is an eclectic cast.

We have Mayotama, Hajime's younger brother, who is getting by as a Boy's Love/Yaoi (Gay Romance Manga) writer. Mayotama is perverted and flirtatious, and sometimes doesn't understand that brothers need to have a healthy boundry to avoid being incestuous. But despite his sexual appetite, he is very loyal to his brother, and wants to do well.

Tanaka-san is an old friend of Kaoru's from school, but is now her doctor. She starts off as a background character in the first season, but is seen more and more as the show goes on. She ends up naming Kaoru's as yet unborn baby girl, Sayoko. She is married to the stoic Yamada.

Nozomu and Rino are close friends of Kaoru and Hajime. Rino's growth was stunted, so she is often mistaken for being a child.

Miki is a cool manga enthusiast, and the object of Mayotama's affection. Miki once asked Mayotama out on a date, but was shocked to find that Mayotama is indeed, a boy. 

The show paints an honest look at newlywed life, and is rife with comedy. It's sweet and silly, and the animation is surprisingly fluid for looking so childish. It's an absolute must. Hopefully the manga will be released state-side.
