Himegoto
ひめゴトThe main protagonist of Himegoto, Arikawa Hime, is in serious trouble. He’s being pursued by loan sharks for the debt his parents left him with. That is, until the Shimoshina High School student council steps in to bail him out. These "kind" girls help Hime by paying off his debt and accepting him into the student council… as a beautiful girl, that is! Hime just happened to be wearing a French maid outfit when the council came across him, and now they won’t have him any other way. In return for paying off his debt, Hime must dress as a girl and be the council’s pet dog for the rest of his high school years. Still, things could be worse. After all, Hime is now surrounded by beautiful girls who constantly dote on him, expose him, and do naughty things to him. Thankfully, Hime has at least one person trying to get him out of this predicament: his little brother, who also happens to cross-dress. And then, of course, there’s the head of the disciplinary committee, who is… another cross-dressing boy!? This is getting ridiculous!

Himegoto is served in 13 eps, which is each ep duration around 3mins (so sad it's so short -sobs-). After gave brief description about the story, I will start the review from the story itself. The story seems so grim for the hero who's forced to be a girl, dressed as a girl, and bullied because of it. The funny moments gently flows from that misfortune of the hero-in-debt. Based on quite simple probs, the school life turns into scenes full of laughter. Honestly, it isn't enough to enjoy the series in 3mins. There are also lessons from the series, especially on the last two eps of cherish the friendship.
Now, about the characters (wwww~ I even laugh when type this paragraph). The story centers around 8 characters involved, 4 of them are student council members, include the hero, named Hime Arikawa. 4 others are from public morals committee, who never get along w/ student council. Collision of opinions and acts between them happens frequently, so absurd (゜ν`(∋─━┌(`・ڡ・´ ┌)! Uniqueness among all of the members is the tastiest reason why you should try to watch this one! Don't jump to conclusion so fast, you'll reveal the hidden truths of the characters one by one, not to mention, in a humorous way.
How about the music? So lively I could say! When I usually skip the OP after watched it once, I didn't treat Himegoto series OP the same as others. I wait it patiently and stemed-up to the song. I personally don't know and never had to search before whether there are characters song available or not. But I can say by the OP itself, it's nice and fit the series.
The last aspect may be the graphics. Not much to say from the graphics use for the series. No special or superior thing on it, but please note that the anime is well prepared, different from some short series w/ somewhat below average for graphics. The colours are mixing right, not too bright, tends to emphasize the prominent colours. The details and movements of scenes or characters are good.
Summary, for the trap genre as the main points which is rare to be animated, I really idolize it. Override the plus points from my point of view, I give 8 for Himegoto series. ╰( ´・ω・)つ──☆
Pros:
- Trap as main dish
- The characters which bring joy
- Sounds lively the music
Cons:
- Mostly trap topics
- Somewhat average graphics (and censored, well I watched the non Blu-Ray ver wwwwww~)

It was very 'interesting" and let me wanting more. The characters grasped and when himesan felt embarrassed, I cringed. I truly, with all my heart want one person to not be a trap.

Short and sweet this anime has been possibly the best 52 minutes of my life. Important and relevant to the way we see gender in today's society, I would recommend this to a friend easily.

Boku no Pico, make way for the hippest new anime of the 21st century! Never in my life have I seen a better anime. Hands down a masterpiece with character development that will have you in tears by the end. I mean, sure I've only seen one episode but... it was good. Trust me.

This is one of the best shows i have ever seen, and i have a seen a lot of anime in my time. The animation is flawless, the plot is a masterpiece and the character development rivals that of the giants such as Cowboy Bebop and Gurren Lagann. Never before have i enjoyed a show as much as i have enjoyed Himegoto, one might say "Why, why do you like this show so much, is it because of your unhealthy addiction to boys who dress up as girls? is it that you crave a woman with a penis?"
I might answer them with a simple shake of my head, for no - such lustful ideals are not why i enjoy this show. The heartwarming story of Hime Arikawa has left a huge impression on me. Not to mention, the advanced fan-service shots are literally so far beyond our time that i fear we may have finally reached the pinnacle of chinese cartoons.
I hope you all enjoy Himegoto as much as i did.
