My Mental Choices…
deals with reject high school student Kanade Amakusa who has been plagued for
the past year with a unique problem.
Randomly he will be presented with a set of things to chose, all
internally located. He must decide what
item from the list he will immediately do or suffer excruciating pain. The choices usually involve him subjecting
his self to extremely embarrassing situations.
This random and bizarre behavior has made him one of the most abhorred members
of the student body. In one episode he
ends up choosing a girl falling from the sky, enter Chocolat. Chocolat is a messenger from some god who has
been sent to assist Kanade with succeeding in a serious of missions he begins receiving. Upon successful completion of all of the
missions he will be free of his Absolute Choice curse.
This is a bizarre
and somewhat annoying series. I kept
trying to look at it as a slight on fan service and harem titles. In some ways it is, in other ways it is
not. The character designs are atypical
of eroge and fan service anime. There are
plenty of gratuitous panty, cleavage, and other fan service shots and segments. This was pretty annoying, but the wit and
oddity of the show somewhat countered them.
The humor reminded me of Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge and Toki Meki
Memorial ~ Only Love. The animation is
sub-par for today’s standards and the voice acting is over the top. The story really does not conclude with the
10 episode arc but a number of questions are stealthily revealed in the last
two. It makes sense that there isn’t a
conclusion as the series is still being created. Who knows, perhaps in the future there will
be another installment of the anime. If
there is I will probably watch it, but I have no intention of reading the
novels of the manga, this title just adds to the pile of less than enthusiastic
series in 2013.
The series is
available in North America on Crunchyroll and an 11th episode is
slated to be released with the next volume of the light novel in 2014.
