Bad Anime-Cliche Proto-Twist
While reviewing 'Itsudatte My Santa!', Anime Americas Robyn expresses her disdain for the beat-up-the-accidental-pervert cliche commonly found in anime. However, she ultimately decides to let it slide when this OVA uses it because A) the original manga the OVA is adapting is from the 90s, before the cliche became widespread; and B) the use of the cliche in the OVA also has a humorous twist that future examples would lack. Something that Robyn finds satisfying.
