Anyhow, despite these grandiose plans, Yamada isn't simply just a virgin, but she's also never had a boyfriend, which makes her more than a little clueless around guys. What's more, she's not exactly the most selfless and understanding of people, so when she literally bumps into a guy named Takashi Kosuda at a local bookstore (who, naturally, later turns out to be in her class at school) and decides that he's the one to ease her into a life of non-stop sex, things don't exactly go to plan.

While the concept of this show is at least a little different from the norm, and the comedy to be derived from the scenario it portrays is more than a little obvious, B Gata H Kei falls flat on account of featuring possibly one of the most annoying female lead characters of all time. To put it simply, she's a selfish bitch with no self-restraint and not a care in the world for anybody else, and although doubtless the series will progress to see her fall in love and become a thoroughly nice girl, she's succeeded in putting my back up so much in this opening episode that I honestly don't care. Mix that in with some pretty average at best animation, a male lead character who is as dull as dishwater, and jokes that largely fall flat on their face, and you I can't think of any reason to persevere with this particular series. I don't think I've ever dropped a show on this 'blog after a single episode, but there's a first time for everything...
