Fan reviews: sekushii boisu ando robo

keal · 28 Dec 2009

As long as the characters are enjoyable to watch, I'm happy with the dorama. SVAR has such a good cast. Everyone is so wacky, but Niko balances it out with her mature approach to everything. The stories in each episode start out interesting and usually funny, then slowly turn into heartwarming stories that stick with me long after I watch it. Robo really represents the otaku well in this show. Pretty much all the funny parts involve him. The funny parts often make me laugh so hard that my sides hurt!

Niko (Suzuka) really made the show for me. Adorable girl, and she acts so mature! My favorite actor now, over Yuko Takeuchi and Hiroshi Abe. If there's a movie or dorama with Suzuka in it, I want to see it!

Probably no season 2 in the future, but hopefully a Sexy Voice And Robo special or movie someday? If not I have no problem watching this series over and over, though.

Kenichi Matsuyama is perfect in this role!! he is truly a versatile actor able to play so many different roles so well. Ohgo Suzuka is a great actress who is perfect in this role. She is enjoyable to watch, and very mature at her age. I think many actresses can learn from her!!

I may be generous with my voting, because I just finished watching it.

I think the two main actors, Matsuyama Kenishi and Ohgo Suzuka, did an excellent job in this Drama. An Otaku, a little bit childish and not willing to accept reality, and a 14-year-old girl that is confronted with reality and looks for ways to handle it.

Besides the nice humour and partly surreal and crazy cases that the two of them have to solve, also the more serious parts of this drama kept me attached to it.

Nikos thoughts on her own problems, which lead her to theories about our world in general, seemed often very true to me.
It never got too emotional; meaning kitchy~

Many people disliked the ending, and I supose it's not what you'd expect after watching the first episode ... but I found it very natural and not really sad.
I liked it a lot and if you've some time left, it's definitely worth watching.

Thank god there's a few people out there that wish to stir the boat and stop modern day j-doromas from spiralling into the waters of cliche after cliche - that's what the people from Sexy Voice and Robo attempt to do and full credit to them. Despite the badly translated english title, an at-sometimes frustratingly simple and dull script, this drama survives via the undeniable quirkyness of its plot and the vivacity and spirit given by the two main actors (both of whom are quite excellent) to their characters. People will be frustrated by this drama because it lacks any real plot development, and on the surface the characters each seem restricted as a result. But if you attempt to read between the lines, you'll find a terrified young girl fighting against her parents, friends - basically everyone she knows, and yet somehow she finds peace with an odd, otaku boy who has no special gifts, but somehow is able to understand her. Their relationship is amazingly pure and as deep as any one you'll see in a j-dorama, period. Matsuyama is a star

Sexy Voice and Robo seems to have been overshadowed by some of the bigger name idol dramas happening in the spring 2007 season in both japan and the online drama community and that's a shame because it's actually pretty entertaining.

The drama relies heavily on "weird" humor so if that's not your thing you probably will end up hating this drama(see review above). I personally was looking forward to every episode, partly because of the quirky story but mostly because Suzuka Ohgo is one charimsatic 13 year old. People like to praise Shida Mirai in the child actress department but if Suzuka continues to put out performances like she did in this drama I'm guessing that she will end up being the more successful of the two later on. Matsuyama holds his own as the big otaku and has pretty good chemistry with Suzuka.

Each episode ends with a voice over monologue by Suzuka and this is usually my favorite part of the show as it never failed to leave me with chills as the last line is delivered right after the music cuts off, in a sea of dramas that use the same repetitive format for story telling it's really refreshing to see a drama that breaks the mold in that aspect. Even how the drama finale ends is pretty different and is more in synch with how life usually goes for most of us (although it did leave me a little unsatisfied).

There is nothing ground breaking about this but it really is a fun little time waster that I didn't want to see end. If nothing else watch it for Suzuka Ohgo's fashion, I swear that the world would be a better place if all girls dressed like that!
