Review of Sumomomo Momomo: The World's Strongest Bride

Warning possible Spoilers Being a Martial Artist person myself I was actually interested in seeing where this would go, but after 22 gruelling episodes I was just meet with disappointment and quickly forgot this one. The story begins with the fathers of Momoko Kuzuryuu and Koushi Inuzuka who made a deal that their kids would get married, but when the time came for this Koushi wasn't exactly on board and now his life was about to become very different from his usual days. Now the story was pretty disappointing to watch not because it was boring or even annoying it just didn't turn out the way I thoughtit would, I did like the diversity of the Martial artist families that would show up from time to time and the whole meaning of what it means to be a martial artist, but what really annoyed me was the chemistry between Momoko and Koushi now to be honest it's pretty much Koushi's fault really because he is unlikable as hell which I'll get to in a minute, the pacing was pretty meh as well even it was fillers with some story episodes as well it just didn't mix well for me and I just couldn't get interested often.

The characters were really a mixed bunch, the male characters weren't really likeable, but the female characters weren't too bad and were pretty much what kept me going on the show.
Momoko is the Main female character who is a loli and is a dragon of the Chinese Zodiac who wants to get married to Koushi so she can have a strong child, she is also a very hyperactive and strange person however that doesn't mean she was a bad character because I was actually rutting for her throughout the series and actually felt really sorry for when her advancements didn't get any notice.
Koushi the Main male character is a bit of an asshole because he is has quit doing martial arts because of an incident with bullies and wants to be lawyer instead, but his interactions with Momoko make him a very unlikable person as he treats her like a piece of dirt even when she does all the house work for him he still doesn't show much appreciation for her efforts and even when he tries he does it so poorly it just annoyed me so much.
Sanae Nakajima is Koushi's classmate and his class representative although secretly she is the Horse of the Chinese Zodiac and has a heroine persona called Tenchū Senshi Uma Kamen or Divine Punishment Warrior Horse Mask, her costume which looks like something out of Kill La Kill enhances her martial art skills, but they only get more powerful if she reduces the amount of clothing she is wearing, now she isn't a bad character and you understand her resentment to martial arts since she has feeling for Koushi, but she has to put up with it to uphold her families legacy.
Iroha Miyamoto who is a 15 year old assassin who tries to kill Koushi, but she eventually falls in love with him and goes to the same school as him to get to know him better, Iroha is pretty much a Tsundere since she likes hitting her subordinate around whenever he does something wrong or wastes their money, but she wasn't a bad character since she does help the others from time to time.
Hanzo is Iroha's subordinate and has a crush on her so obviously to find out she likes Koushi hit him real hard and makes him grow a hatred for Koushi, but he is a pretty unlikable character not as bad as Koushi, but his personality created more harm than good for the others.

The artstyle didn't really stand out for me, but I did like some of the martial arts moves that Momoko and Sanae did from time to time and I also liked the look of Sanae's outfit despite how ridiculous it looked.

The action was solid and did keep me entertained since it showed how badass Momoko was when it came to fighting other people which showed she was a useful person and the final battles in the final episodes was actually pretty good too, but it was too far between all the parts that were pretty dull.
The Romance was painful to watch because it was just annoying watching Koushi acting like an asshole to Momoko all the damn time, there were a few sweet moments, but they were too far between all the annoying as hell stuff.

Overall this was a very mixed bag and by the end I was just glad to be done with it, it had something going with it with the female characters which made me feel this should've been an adventure anime about them beating up bad guys or something which would've been way more entertaining, the only reason you should watch this is if you're a martial arts fan because if you're a Romance fan all you'll get is disappointment.
