Mikagura Gakuen Kumikyoku -- eps 1-2

Dropped.

Oh, this is another bad one. Our heroine is Eruna, who is a raging lesbian, or maybe would like to be but doesn't yet have any actual experience doing that.

...not that there's anything wrong with that... I think is what I'm supposed to say at this point.

She makes Kuroko the Teleporter look calm and stately. But what she's actually been doing is playing dating games and imagining herself "getting the girl" -- and then running off to the nurse's office at the school because there are beds there.

She is near to graduating, or has graduated, from middle school and doesn't seem too interested in finding a high school to get into. Her cousin is just as weird as she is. His name is Shigure and he's hung up on Eruna and makes no secret about it. He keeps reminding her that since they're cousins it's legal. (Which is the case in Japan.) He shows up with a brochure from the high school that he attends, and she leafs through it.

She declares that the school uniforms are cute, and she also sees a picture in it of a gorgeous girl. He tells her that her name is Seisa Mikagura, and she's the granddaughter of the founder of the school. Eruna instantly falls in love lust, and decides to apply there.

The application process is bizarre. First, she's given an exam which is absurdly easy, consisting of things like "1+4 = ? 1+5 = ? 1+6 = ?".

And then there's an interview. The interviewer is a talking, flying cat, and he eventually tells her that anyone who can see him gets admitted.

And it gets crazier from there. The whole thing is run at farcical levels, and for that to work you need a single sane person in the middle, a rock in the storm for the audience to hang onto. There wasn't one as far as I can tell. It sure as hell isn't Eruna, who spends about half of these episodes drooling with lust at the various girls she meets.

There's probably a story here, but I don't care enough to keep watching to find out. There wasn't enough fan service to cover up all the flaws (as in, "there wasn't any at all") so it doesn't even have that going for it. I'm not sure who this is supposed to appeal to, but it sure ain't me.
