“Renai Bouken” aka “Love Tyrant” is an adaptation of a comic fantasy manga from the web manga magazine “Comic Meteor”. For the first time in a long, long time I was laughing so hard that I was crying at the first episode. This is classic gag anime – a stupid premise fulfilled by idiot characters with great comic direction and timing.

A teen named Aino is confronted by a girl named Guri who is dressed as a shinigami and who carries a “Kiss Note”. Guri has written Aino's name into the Kiss Note and pleads that Aino kiss someone so that she won't die. Aino figures that he can get rid of Guri by kissing her, and he does, but that doesn't work because Guri didn't write her own name in the book. However, the kiss fascinates Guri who decides to stick around for more.. They then go to Aino's school where, in theory Guri can't be seen by anyone other than Aino, and Guri notices that Aino has a crush on a beautiful girl named Akane and so she wants to write Akane's name into the Kiss Note. But Akane can see and hear Guri and it turns out that Akane has had a secret and fatally possessive crush on Aino and now she is murderously jealous. Anything that can go wrong in a hilarious way does, and the mess just grows from there.

The first episode was everything that I enjoy in a gag comedy – fast pacing, non-stop visual and spoken jokes, and general non-stop goofiness. This is mad fun and I hope that it can keep it up. My initial rating is B+..
