Having that cut and replaced by “fangirls of Mirako went on the internet spreading rumors about Hinako being a girl which resulted in the rival yankee school and the students at Shishiku to catch wind of it” kinda felt weird and I really enjoyed the plan and lead up to how the game resolved Mirako’s rumors by having Hikaru stand-in for Hinako and have his bare chest exposed for everyone to see that Hinako (AKA Hikaru’s twin sister who’s covering for him) is not a girl… The anime kinda tries to shoehorn that part in the last minute of the anime but it didn’t feel right.
They also seemed to cut the part where Mirako-senpai basically sabotaged Hinako’s school life at Shishiku by spreading the seed of doubt that she’s not a boy which resulted in the guys around her who accepted her as the top 1st year to turn their back on her. Now about things that the anime kind of cuts out is some scenes that makes you understand characters and how they tick, like scenes between Hinako and Hikaru where in the game it shows the contrast between the twins, how Hikaru is better at making female friends than Hinako and can act like a more feminine girl than our protagonist who had being trying hard in her life to make friends (that is until she finds friends at Shishiku Academy). It doesn’t have to be “canon” it can be something for the fans to look forward to to see their favorite characters get into some new content and mischief, but whatever lol. I mean if they just wanted to do shorts for Kenka Banchou Otome, why not make it like a bonus story, where they’re just comedy shorts about the cast doing stuff that wasn’t shown in the game and maybe have some goofy adventures. Makes me wonder if its for the fans who played the game (even though story elements and scenes were cut) or if it was for making people interested in the game, who might get confused when playing the game because the anime isn’t quite closely written to what the game’s plot was. The way I feel about this anime is that it’s not bad, but it’s not great either. I guess they kept it short because its more like advertisement for the game but at least do it properly. Y’all know they’re gonna end up with their respective girl who they’re crushing on, it ain’t that deep. I don’t really understand why they opted to 8 minutes per episode (would’ve been great if it were maybe 12 or 14 minutes if they were gonna go with “short, but still cover the main plotline properly”), meanwhile you’ve got an anime about boys hooking up with girls in convenience stores in Konbini Kareshi that doesn’t have much plot going on but still has 24 minutes per episode. The Kenka Banchou Otome is a 12 episode anime, spanning around 7~8 minutes, and basically covers maybe half or more of the common route in the game… even though the story telling is kinda all over the place and having to cut scenes to fill the run time. Sorry about that! Anyway, I’ll try my best to remember and give a quick, thorough comparison between the anime and the game. You’ll have to keep in mind that its been a year since I played Kenka Banchou Otome so I might not remember things properly and may even say thing that are inaccurate. In commemoration of the release of Kenka Banchou Otome~Kanzen Muketsu no My Honey~ (fandisc) this week, I’ll be giving Kenka Banchou Otome -Girl Beats Boys- a little mini review 😆
