Aesthetica of a Rogue Hero

“She’s a pink-haired princess. He’s a panty-snatching perv.” That brief summation from funimation.com perfectly sums up what this wacky anime series is all about. There’s a basic plot to the series, about how the ‘he,’ a guy named Akatsuki, after fighting a war in the Fairy Tale Tealm is protecting  the ‘she,’, a bouncy babe named Miu, put into his custody by her defeated father, the Demon King. But the real reason you watch it is for the spirited hijinks Akatsuki gets into as he trails Miu through her adopted lifestyle at the local high school, where he has to battle the uptight student council on a daily basis. The art work and the action are good, and it’s clear that the animators have a really fun time drawing animated boobs, but what makes the series better than your average anime T&A extravaganza is the voice work of Eric Vale as Akatsuki.
