Futakoi Alternative

Futakoi Alternative

Futakoi Alternative. Another anime. A strange anime. It's cute, funny, bizarre, and makes you go, "huh? oh.."

A bit of backstory: First there was a show called Futakoi. If you break that apart and translate it, you get "Twinlove", basically. What was it about? Well, twins... and... love. Anyways, it was about a boy who returned to his hometown after being gone a few years. The town was... full of twins. He had cute and cuddly adventures anime style with different sets of twins. It was mushy and cute in your classic anime relationship style.

Well, now there's Futakoi Alternative. They took the same sets of twins from the first show... and put them in wholly new and strange settings. The same girls who, in the first series, were just typical silly 8-10 year old girls, are now a pair of gun-wielding secret service girls fighting strange blob monsters on a large cargo jet. While it's flying. The story revolves around one of the lesser pair of twins (in the first show) and a completely new male lead, Rentarou. They are detectives... and random, random things occur. It's simply... bizarre. As an example, the ending sequence is done completely in claymation.

So, of course, I love it.
