Ookami-san – 12 (end) – Series Review
I suppose it was too unrealistic of me to have expected anything more than what this last episode offered. Ryouko to the end remained pretty shy displaying her true feelings toward Ryoushi, which is okay with me since Ryouko is too good for him anyway! Even without more episodes, the series ends with our hero couple on solid footing to develop their relationship. So in that regard, I’m glad at least something of merit was accomplished within these 12 episodes.
Ookami-san – 11
The fight between Ryoushi and Shirou was actually pretty damn good. A fluid, hard-hitting, and no cut-away fight sequence that was rather enjoyable as compared to the previous mundane brawls of the show. Too bad it was so short, curse the President for ruining the fun by stopping the fight midway. That makes two slingshots destroyed by Shirou’s super sharp man nails now. Ryoushi indeed has some bad luck trying to use them effectively against him.

About freaking time the show tackles Ryoushi’s phobia with Saburou training him out of nowhere. Though I do suspect he’s not exactly on the good guys’ side as you can’t trust a dude wearing a Robin Hood hat you know? Not to mention he has spied on Ryoushi since the start of the show. I totally thought Saburou was a tom-boyish girl by the way for like one second, curse you Japan and your ambiguous character designs. He is a dude right? Oh dear …

Hinted back in episode six as the problem she has run away from, the story finally delves into Ringo’s dilemma. With much disappointment, it’s nowhere as compelling as Ryouko’s situation since well, Ringo did nothing to cause it, besides being born I suppose. I do understand Ringo’s guilt for her mother’s actions in which she partially blames herself, as she must feel terrible in kicking her half-sister out of the mansion and separating a daughter from her father.

Sadly this picture had nothing to do with this episode or otherwise this would have been the best of the series yet. What we got instead was something of a return to the regular light-hearted episode with its standard take-away message of the week. Heir to a large corporation, this week’s mission revolved around finding a young boy his bride. Luckily and what saves this episode from absolute boredom is that he is followed around by his insult-happy butler who just loves to point out all the terrible qualities of each candidate bride they come across.
