Anime fanatics gone “banzai!” as a new piece of Shojo anime masterpiece just reached Philippine T.V.’s shores and is currently a hit among otakus. It is a crazy mix of romance, comedy, friendship and pure hardcore silliness that will surely tickle the anime-lover kid in you.

The story revolves around Sunako Nakahara, a not-so-typical female protagonist that is actually a fan of the dark and creepy things instead of the usual sweet and fair stuff you see in most stories. That’s twist enough but there’s more: she actually has to live in a big mansion with four super handsome guys until she becomes a “real” lady.

Yes it sounds as if it’ll be super romantic and all, but believe me, it’s more of light, innocent fun than whatever you’re probably thinking of. Actually, it’s stress-relieving to watch, take me for my word.

It’s now airing at TV5 every Mondays to Thursdays at 6:30 pm and every Saturdays and Sundays at 5:00-6:00 pm. Try and watch it!

Hairspray is a remake of the 1988 film with the same title. There is also a stage adaptation of this musical which has been on production on stage since 2002. It is about an overweight girl named Tracy Turnblad (Nikky Blonsky) who joined a teen dance TV program “The Corny Collins Show” in which she exclaims her support on integration. In this version, Tracy evaded the cops and made her way to the crowning night of Miss Hairspray, while in the two other versions, she was arrested and put to jail after a riot due to racial discrimination. Another ironic detail is that John Travolta played a drag role, dressing up and acting as a female, while his belief in Scientology is strongly against homosexuality.
