Girls Bravo

This multi-season series of Japanese Anime, centers around a teenager who is so small for his age, that he grew up being beat up by the girls of his school, so much and so often that he's developed an acute case of gynophobia, not just fearing all girls, but breaking out in hives every time he comes into contact with any.

This includes the girl next door, who, unlike most of the rest, has a crush on him, in spite of being just as willing as the rest to react violently to his faux pa's.

The one exception to his gynophobic reaction, is a girl he meets on another planet, who follows him to earth, and stays with him-- And that's when the adventures really begin! Add to the mix an insanely rich androphobic guy, his literal witch of a little sister, their not-so-covert security/intelligence team, a darling but androphobic secret agent from the other planet, a young sorceress from the other planet, and more, and you can't help but hope the fun doesn't end.

There is nudity, which for many folks might be too taboo to begin to watch the series enough to begin to enjoy it, but, the messages in many of the episodes indicate that the creators are including the nudity as a mode of introducing the taboos of nudism (and beyond) and a portrayal of the need for less nudity (and beyond) in social settings, especially among teens, so, I, for one, believe the nudity to be necessary, not only from the standpoint of ratings, but, as a basis from which to portray the taboos around which many of the episodes revolve.

More anime should be like this!

I watched this as a 13 years old and its one of the few animes that shows peoples nips and suprised that its shown on japanese television i am 14 now i love the anime wish theres a sequel but it been 15 years now i like the pink hair girl in the anime she looks like astolfo.

I found this series interesting and also a bit shocking. I was surprised to find that this series was shown on TV in Japan considering the strong sexual content.

It's about a young boy named Yukinari who has been picked on all his life by girls and thus has developed an allergy to girls and women. If a girl comes close to or even touches him, he breaks out into hives. After a mishap with his one friend (who happens to be a girl), he get teleported to the parallel world of Seirin. There, Yukinari meets a cute and very sweet girl named Miharu. For some reason Miharu is the only girl that doesn't cause Yukinari to break out, and thus they quickly become friends. Unfortunately, Yukinari finds out that Seirin's population is 90% female. What could be worse for someone who is gynophobic? Well, when other women find out about Yukinari, they all fight to make him their husband. He eventually escapes back to Earth with his new friend Miharu, however his troubles have only just begun.

While there isn't much of a central story, this was still an decent situation comedy. I liked the characters for the most part, although they could get mean spirited at times which kind of put me off. The soundtrack was arranged very nicely and I enjoyed both the opening and closing tracks. Some of the silliness got to be a little excessive, but overall not bad.

Be warned though. This series has a lot of nudity and strong sexual situations. Although not pornographic, it does get strong enough to warrant an NC-17 in some episodes. Anyone who is looking for a mature rated anime comedy, Girls Bravo is a series to try out.
