First Impressions: Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu -Purezza-

Summary: The second season of Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu is stupid and horny, and I mean that in the best way.

If you missed the first season, which aired last year, Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu (Nogizaka Haruka's Secret) tells the story of the most beautiful girl in school. She's a rich princess, and everyone loves her and has high expectations of her. That's why she can never let on that she's a major closet otaku. Only one boy knows, the everyday-man named Yuto Ayase.

Yep. You called it. This is a romantic comedy. A harem anime. The worst offender. The last season was more about the two secret keepers getting to know each other better, and I assume that this second season would show how they further their relationship. But you wouldn't know from the first epsode. Really, no time is wasted. The show opens with an onsen episode. Breasts are bared, as are asses. While the last season slowly worked up to this, starting with panties, season two goes all out!

Um, yeah.

I'm sure there's a good story to be told as far as the couple's relationship goes, but we'll have to get a few episodes in first. So far, all we know through this first episode onsen-based character recap is that Yuto is surrounded by hot girls that shed their clothes often. The fact that Haruka is a closet otaku is barely even touched on.

It wasn't all horny, though.

I'm sure that the love story/comedy will unfold. It's what made the first so fun and entertaining. You can already see hints of "the other girl," Shina, secretly loving Yuto from a distance. Haruka's crazy maids still follow her around, everywhere and now there's a new addition to the team. And to be fair, the episode ends on a sweet note.

This really happened.

But wow. What a way to come out. There was even a scene where a girl was kneeled in front of Yuto, saying that she was forced to suck on something "long and hard." It was wasabi, of course. Onsen on the first ep? What? Is the summer swimsuit episode next?

What I liked:

  • The trick intro (you'll see)
  • In-episode store Animers (Gamers, anyone?)
  • The shameless T&A already

What I didn't like:

  • The trick intro (you'll see)
  • The lack of story
  • The shamless T&A already
