The Manzai Routine
Calling all comedy lovers!
Hi everyone! I bring to you one of the funniest comedy acts in Japan: The Manzai Routine! Also known as the "Boke-Tsukkomi Routine"
What does this mean exactly?
Well the person playing "Boke" would normally make a stupid comment and then be "punished" or tsukomu'd by the Tsukkomi who corrects him/her. This type of comedy is really funny and is evident in anime and manga as well!
Here are some examples:
In the manga Love Roma, Hoshino's relationship with his girlfriend is usually in a boke-tsukkomi style because of the Always-Honest-Hoshino and the embarrassed girlfriend ^^. Hoshino even claims their relationship to be a Manzai one:
Note: You may have to click the image to see it better (alternatively read this on mangafox here)
It's quite a wonderful manga and I highly recommend it if you like comedy/romance ^^
Another funny Boke-Tsukkomi relationship is from Lovely Complex:
This anime is about a romance between a very tall girl and a very short boy. You can imagine the comedy in that. Although this anime is quite old, it's still a very good story =).
Lucky ★ Star also has some very funny Manzai moments. Take Kagami and Konata for example. Kagami is always quick to jump into her tsuntsun half of her tsundere personality to pounce on the ridiculous comments Konata has to offer. It's also very funny ^^.
Sometimes when the Boke is punished, they actually enjoy it! Take Toaru Kagaku no Railgun for example. Everytime Kuroko annoys Misaka (the Railgun) with her awkward comments, she shoots her with an electric shock that looks very painful.
Another funny Boke-Tsukkomi example comes from my favorite anime: Clannad!
As Kyou tries to teach Kotomi how to play the Tsukkomi role, she ends up being the Boke as Kyou tsukomu's her. Here's a video clip of this in action!
Note: This comes from episode 11, and is a partial spoiler.
(Uploaded myself of course ^^)
And thanks to Chansu for the contributions from the Touhou department:
In this one, Cirno is announced as the "new tsukkomi"--wait! TWO tsukkomis? This has got to be interesting...
A Touhou collection of studio Ghibli jokes... or should I say... Shibli? If you're a fan of My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki's Delivery Service, Ponyo, or any other Ghibli movie, you're sure to enjoy this:
So as you can see there are tons of Boke-Tsukkomi duos out there in anime, manga, and even fan-made videos, so if you like this type of comedy, don't hesitate to check it out! ^^
That's all for today, thanks for reading!

Awww Vs. Pathetic
This is my newest comparison post series called "Awww Vs. Pathetic"
I'll compare two anime crushes, one heartwarming, another straight pathetic.
For inspiration, for reference, and most importantly for laughs.
Awww: Risa and Otani
The lovely complex stars, Risa and Otani, were once rivals and once the class clowns because of their contrasting height. Since they've become so close they've developed feelings for each other but have alot of difficulty revealing them to each other. They're really cute <3
Pathetic: Kondou and Otae
Kondou is the leader of the Shinsegumi police force in Gintama. Once upon a time a depressed Kondou went to the host club to seek some cheering up. His host, Otae, kindly said to him that she would marry someone like him (even though he's hairy) and the next was history. He's been her number one stalker ever since. INSTEAD of using tact and grace to persue her, he's resorted to hiding outside her house to get close to her and popping up wherever she happens to be. Dude don't come on too strong!
Hope you liked my first installment of "Awww Vs. Pathetic"!

Welcome to
The Otaku Reviewers
The Otaku Reviewers
This blog, "The Otaku Reviewers", was started in February of 2010 on this very same platform, Blogger. At first, it was a venture into the informational and informal world of comics, anime, video games, and Japanese culture. In other words, just a random blog.
Over time, the founder of the blog credited with the pseudonym "RPGhero" was joined by two fellow bloggers and friends with the names "Chansu" and "Deretsun". Together the three bloggers looked up interesting Japanese culture facts, recommended new anime, talked about their own "otaku" interests, and traveled across the United States to various anime conventions.
There have been off periods when the blog ceased production of content and there have been times when there would be dozens of blog posts per week. The schedule varies depending on the lives of the people behind the alias'. However the pattern is that we always get back into the game with even newer information about Japanese culture, anime, video games, and other nerdy hobbies.
The motto of our blog is:
"A cure for your apathy and an inspiration for your dreams. ...Applies to Otaku, anime fans, J-pop junkies, and the like"
The purpose is to blog about cool stuff related solely to anime and otaku stuff. There's no other reason we're doing this.
