Maji de Watashi ni Koi Shinasai!

[contains some mild spoilers, some suggestive language, and some comparison to the visual novel]

What a slaughter.

Maji de Watashi ni Koishinasai (TV) is one of the two visual novels that was adapted this fall season. In comparison to Mashiro-iro, which was a decent adaptation, MajiKoi’s adaptation was pure shit. In Mashiro’s review, I stated that Mashiro was considered an “average visual novel”, which made the mediocre storyline understandable. But, MajiKoi doesn’t have the luxury of using the excuse “the visual novel was bad”, it was considered a great visual novel (8.71@VNDB). In other words, it was a great source with great potential.

Now, why exactly does the ... adaptation blow? Is it because they adapted it into a generic harem instead of an enjoyable slice of life? Or is it because they completely slaughtered the characters, and developed the cast of respectable female characters into homogenized whores craving the main dude’s dick. Well, it would have to be a mixture of the two; but predominantly the latter.

Now, I can understand that Western tastes and tastes in Japan differ. They like excessive fan service, I find it irritating. There’s an obvious difference, but it’s bearable for the most part; it’s not as prominent as it could be. But there’s a limit to everything too. When every other scene is censored due to nudity, it’s basically blatantly insinuating “Fuck you, buy the blue-ray release”. It’s probably a really effective way to catalyze sales in my opinion, but it’s still a douche thing to do. That could be ignored if the other aspects of the show was actually adapted decently, but they weren’t. .

My first major gripe would be the harem aspect of it. The first arc of MajiKoi, before branching out and choosing individual path, was essentially, a slice of life. It’s really extenuating more on friendship then it is with the individual intimate relationships, it’s reminiscent of AnoHana in a way. The main arc in the visual novel basically contains little to no romance and it’s not hindered by infatuation until you begin to branch (but that’s still only with one character). The arc is more than enough to be animated into twelve episodes, it took six hours to read. That’s reading with skipping the majority of the voice acting, basically spamming enter. It’s inevitably understandable on why they would adapt MajiKoi as a harem over a sexless slice of life (It’ll probably sell well), but it was still something that could have been done.

Now, the second gripe that basically ruins the visual novel, is slaughtering the characters. It’s similar to reading a book and developing the “ideal archetype” of the character, only to see it getting completely revamped in a movie adaptation. By slaughter, I don’t mean some slight miscalculations, it’s some pretty noticeable stuff. Some pretty notable ones would include the main character, Yamato. Now, in the visual novel, the main character is basically portrayed as an intelligent, devious tactician when it comes to facing everyday challenges; that carries on over in the anime. But in the VN, he wasn’t lusting after his friends, and his philosophies were more complex. In the anime, he was basically painted as a kind person as a kid when it came to taking in Miyako. In the visual novel, he just mentioned that she could stay if she wanted, it wasn’t through any good will, he was a nihilistic kid, I don’t think he really cared. On the other hand, each female in the visual novel had their own individual personality, in the anime, they’re basically homogenized into lusting after the dude(most notably Chris, she hated his devious dishonorable personality initially in the visual novel, however, in the anime, she doesn’t mind it). In the VN, they thought of him as a friend, and nothing more unless you pursued it while branching out.

Objective Score: 2/10. It’s a disappointment. It did one of the worst things you could do in an adaptation, it slaughtered the character. It turned something with little fan service into something based off of fan service. Action was actually the focal centerpiece in the anime, in the novel, it’s more of an underlying theme.

Subjective Score: 4/10: If you didn’t read the visual novel, you might actually like this. Most people reading the visual novel will probably dislike this immensely, it slaughtered the personalities of the majority of the characters. I guess you’ll like this if you like action, boobs, and cliché characters (excluding Miyako, she’s basically the only characters that’s pretty damn awesome in both versions, but then again, adapting a chick who’s going after the dude probably wasn’t the hardest in comparison to the rest).

First of all, my purpose writing this review for this anime is to clarify any negative comments about this anime, since so many review saying this anime is horrible because the anime itself didnt really like the VN. really? just for that reason? Honestly, why do people comparing the VN with the anime itself? we're talking about the anime in here not VN. oh god...

When i finished this series i was kinda surprised, because the score in MAL itself didnt represent how good this anime was, i dont say this anime was the best but its quite entertaining, that 6.99 is just so UNDERRATED. remember ... that.

I have seen the VN itself but i am not gonna compare it, so i judge this anime purely based on how excited when i watching this anime.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

STORY - The story itself , i am not quite sure if this anime have a plot. I though the preview in MAL has explain it all. its about a bunch of girls and some boy who lives in under one roof, they represent theyself as kawakami family (sounds like a mafia, huh?), and the first of the episode you will see a war (yeah a war) which happen like in three kingdoms era. if you're thinking WTF is this, then i said this was an extracurriculer from the school that they attends. Shortly, for me Maji de Watashi is like Angel beats (Bunch of people) + Oda Nobuna (the war from edo era).

At the first, it would quite hard to follow what happen in this anime since so many things that would make the viewers scratching their head. It cant be helped since, many scenes of this anime is slices of the Visual Novel itself, no wonder if the story is kinda messed up and didnt focus on the plot.

be reversed from the story itself, The jokes that appears in this anime was really hit the spot, its really funny and quite amusing. 6/10

ART - The artwork that the Maji de Watashi have is literally good, its not something that really exaggerate. The biright coloring that they use is pretty much increasing the atmosphere, Colorful scenery, and the character design itself is pretty well made, though the quality is seems a bit lower for the other anime but the art in this anime is still pretty enjoyable to watch. However, sometimes there is a lack in character drawn quality. In some scenes, the character face seems quite been "distracted", but thats doesnt really bothering. SO, 8/10.

VOICE ACTOR - I am really attached by the voice for each character, they really represents the trait of each character, like Momoyo, she is tomboy, and the voice that they present was really like a real tomboy person, heavy voice and yet its cute. and anoher thing that should we mention is Gotou Yuuko. As the voice actor for MAyuzumi Yukie, her voice was so adorable and cute. No matter how many times you hear it, you wouldnt bored and helped to fallin love 8/10

SONG - This is maybe the reason why i love to watch Maji de Watashi. especially the OP song + the animation for the OP itself. "U-n-d-e-r--STANDING!" by Endoh Masaaki, Kitadani Hiroshi, Misato Aki is quite catchy rock song, The beats is really hyped up the viewers like me, nor it was perfectly fit with the anime.


CHARACTER - Well, its like any other harem anime, we have a tsundere (Christiane Friedrich), Dandere ( Yukie Mayuzum), the energetic one (Kazuko Kawakami), Big boobs (Momoyo Kawakami), and of course the obssesive one (Miyako Shiina) which reminds me of Sacchan in Gintama and for the main lead we have Naoe Yamato, which is very fits for the male lead, he is smart and yet its doesnt easy to tease this guy with the flirt from all the girls and a point plus for this male lead is he is not "shy" like any other harem anime.

We have a bunch of unique girls, of course it was the standard of all harem. but somehow i found its really amusing. 8/10

CONCLUSION - Basically, its lack of the story like everyone had said. but i am not really like concern about that problem since for me harem anime is just for entertaining, so i score this anime based on how satisfaction i am when i watching this anime, so did i satisfied with this anime? yes it is. its funny and yet admirable, especially for each character. so 8/10 for me.

We have Lerche's adaptation of the Minato Soft's adult visual novel that was originally release in 2009 for PC.

The first episode is full of action, the next ones are full of fanservice, but then we have this comedy drama overload with a bit of action, and it's not a great combination.

The art is awfull compared to the VN, but that will always happen, anyways, Mayumi and his co-workers made a great job.

The music goes perfectly with the scenes, Katsuhiko-san is good with his work on this and Mirai Nikki.

Every character is different, specially the female ones. personally, I fell in love with Koyuki and ... Kazuko, Mayo is so cute (kawaii) and that thingy called Kuroko it's so random. Also, I'm a big fan of Asakawa Yuu, she made a great job with Momo, and even when i hate Yuko Goto's voice, she's wonderful with Yukie and Matsukaze.

Enjoyment? well, besides this genre mess, it was a good anime, and I know that the VN is 100% better, but if I have the chance to buy the BDs, I will...

There are basically two types of people who watch anime, Type A and Type B.

I'm going to discuss Type B first because that's probably the main audience for this anime.

Type B anime watchers are people who enjoy having loads upon loads of characters, flashy action, costumes, lightsabers transforming robots, service, etc. without needing much reason for it to be present. In short, they don't care, as long as they have as much shit stuffed on the screen as possible, they'll eat it.

If you fit within that category this anime is for you. I'm not going to try and explain any further because you probably ... abandoned any sense of reason a long time ago anyway.

Now for the Type A watchers who place story and development over flashy gimmick, in short, my fellow brothers.

Story

From the start of this anime I knew there was a problem... sub par art and the feeling that nothing was making sense from the very beginning. This was a rip off fusion of the concepts of Baka no Test and Dog Days. No improvement on the material, they manage to fuck it all up from the first episode.

First of all there is no clear power gap between Classes S and Classes F. What happened to the classes in the middle? Does the S Class even exist? They seem to be equals, Class F seems to be stronger even, maybe it's because S if further back in the alphabet than F is, I do not know and I do not care.

There is also some romance plot shoehorned in with characters we have never seen before but are forced to show some sympathy when shown out of nowhere flashbacks that has nothing to do with what was happening at the time. If that's not bad enough, I have a reason to believe there was incest involved to some level. What the fuck does this do to progress the PLOT (word of the fucking day)? I hope they explain it in later episodes if they haven't managed to lose me by then.

What peeves me off is that near the end there is a fight and the participants shout names of their special attacks every time they use them. It was pointless and was trying too hard every time they did it. It's alright and when used at the right moment, really cool to yell the name of your finisher move when you do it, just don't shout it for every freaking move that you just pulled out of your ass on the spot.

Art

This was the first thing that I noticed that let me know this was going to suck. The budget of this anime suddenly became clear and with what came after I began to realize that I had made a mistake somewhere in my life that led into me watching this anime. I look a sigh of disappointment as the cheap animation continued, with latest technology sincere art through anime is possible... They didn't even try. I have seen hentai with better animation than what they have in this anime.

Sound

This is always a hard category in a review. This anime makes it harder. What hell do you want me to say? If I was asked I wouldn't even remember if there was even a soundtrack or BGM worth noting. No memorable score, but I have to give it to that robot Cookie. It's voice was kinda cute.

Speaking of voices, they have lots of high class seiiyu in this anime. However that does improve anything, it actually worsens it. Sugita Tomozaku could have been doing something worth a shit with his time. Oh well I guess he gotta eat too. I hope he gets paid lots.

Character

Too many. I am confused, I can't remember any names. We don't learn about any of their pasts, what their dreams are, why they fight. Sure that might follow in later episodes but its unacceptable presenting this crap as the first episode.

Pointless filler characters everywhere trying to desperately out categorize TVTropes, when will it end.?! It's retarded, it's as if they're trying to piss me off on purpose. Mission accomplished dickheads.

They don't even try with the character designs. All the clothing is bland, hair is unoriginal, Kyon is bald, and their personalities are a complete mystery or just the same crap you've seen a hundred times before.

That red haired eye patch chick, I've seen her in some hentai before... No really, I mean it. I'm more sure of it than the other characters.

Enjoyment

This was a big waste of time. I stared agonizingly at the run time of this video, groaning every time I checked the progress to see that only thirty seconds had elapsed since I last checked...

Overall

It's too late for me. I've already started this anime and I can't drop it now... I have to endure cause I can't let this shit beat me.

But it's not to late for you, fellow Type A viewers. Spare yourself the pain and watch something that actually has something to offer. There is nothing for you here, NOTHING, and there probably won't ever be.

"It might get better as it goes along."

BULLSHIT!

This review was not helpful for your ass. Screw me like this anime did.

What is worse? An anime that sucks from the beginning or an anime with promise that bombs? In my opinion, it's always the latter, because one never invests times in the former.

Maji de Watshi is about a high school dude with no power surrounded by chicks with a lot of it. A plot we've seen a million times. This one is hardly refreshing. The only difference is that this anime tries to make some political statement, but fails in every way imaginable. In the meantime, there's cheap ecchi that's terrible and rehashed episodes within the arc itself so that one's viewing displeasure isn't focused on ... just one thing. Awesome, right?

Maji de Watshi is easily one of the worst anime I have ever watched. Not only is the main character rendered so impotent by weakness and stupidity, enough to make Perez Hilton look macho, but at the same time, the story is expecting the viewer to believe he's actually a genius tactician!!! The animation is fine, but the logic is missing in all aspects. One scene actually depicted a girl who is supposed to be able to move quickly enough to fight 5 people at once, shooting a bullet through an arrow AND through the string of the firing bow while in motion. Then, five seconds later, the powerless main character somehow grabs her arm and stun guns her. Epic retarded laziness is the only way to describe this.

There's no payoff, by the way, if you're looking for something to hope for. It ends as badly as it begins. Avoid... this... show!

Ok, so I've just finish this 12 episode anime, I must say that I generally describe this anime a chaotically crappy for something that is taken from an adult visual PC eroge novel. Ok so before the last 3 episodes I was able to forgive this anime's short comings co'z of the comedy and the ecchi (even though it's censored) things in it and there is this thing that I was hoping that the muchacho (Yamato) goes for Shiina, however things turned around with a corny ending. All the genres describe for this anime pertains not as a whole, but was divided each on ... a per episode basis that adds to the chaos, so for the story it is a "POOR" number 3.

Art: Mediocre number 5.

Co'z the art bears resemblance from another anime ""Kimiga Aruiji de Shitsuji Ga Ore De," where Kuki Ageha came from.


Sound: Good number 7.

Since I like both opening and ending themes and I also like the seiyus who did the voices of the female cast.

Character: Poor number 3.

Ok, let’s go to each of the main characters:

Naoe Yamato- his character has him being a muchacho who prefers brains over brawn; actually he uses 2 heads one on top where he does all his thinking, analyzing and planning and one below his belt where he reads porn on one hand and plays with it.............. I'll leave to your imagination. He's a bit of a letdown co'z everything about his character falls short of expectation, this is due to the fact that everything about his role is a dichotomy: examples are; he proposes his love for Momoyo in 1st episode but in another episode he makes gestures that he'll be willing to marry Momoyo's sister, Wanko, he has a vast collection of porn paraphernalia, let alone some of his winky flash to Kokoro and yet he’s very reluctant to bang Miyako, his bragging that he prefers brains to brawn yet he ends up being a damsel in distress and what irritates me is his ridiculous and stupid excuse of giving this anime a corny ending about his pet hermit crabs to his harem. Actually, my rating for this part falls on him.

As for his harem:

Friedrich Christiane - her character has her to be part of Naoe’s gang and class, she is a fencer by fighting standards. Since this anime has a harem genre in it, her role completes that of a rich tsundere with feelings for the muchacho (Naoe). The author of this anime seems to have limited her assistant Eberbach, Margit to a cameo role; she could have added something for this anime if she would have been made part of the main cast. Friedrich certainly adds certain class and finesse to the harem . By the way, I really hate the way she wore her uniform.

Kawakami Momoyo- she's the muchacho's love interest, she's one superb fighter and she's bisexual, it is now establish the she does love the muchacho. Since part of this anime's genre is super powers, it is safe to say that her character is that genre.

Kawakami “Wanko” Kazuko – By fighting standards she’s pike man co’z she armed with a naginata, she’s basically completes the harem genre as being wife material to the muchacho (Naoe) as well as an able competition from her elder sister, Momoyo.

Mayuzumi Yukie – Well, obviously she’s a samurai and part of the harem, she’s probably the only member of the muchacho’s harem who’s a bit weird co’z she has a dual personally which compose of; the shy and conservative Yukie and the opinionated and outspoken Matsukaze which is represented by his horse like cell phone strap thing. What makes it more wired is that one can’t determined whether or not if every cast knows about her condition or they just assumed that the horse like thing is has a mind of its own, if this anime has a psychological genre in it, she’ll fit right in.

Shiina Miyako- according to info, she was once bullied and was saved by the muchacho during their elementary days. Question, how was she able to become a skilled archer, in a span of just a few years? It is also implied that she’s not just any ordinary archer but she also has the same quick reflexes as all the members of the muchacho’s harem. Frankly she also adds to the muchacho’s dichotomy were it is implied that the muchacho may have a thing for her and yet he shoves her like some stray animal who wanders into his backyard. But one thing about her is that she contributes a lot to the comedy and ecchi genre of this anime.

And the rest of the muchacho’s gang:

Kazama Shiochi, Mooroka Takuya, Minamoto Tadakatsu and Gakuto Shimazu – well, it is kinda disappointing that the author has just limited the 4 to be support cast whereas
they have the potential to spice up the anime, however it is only Kazama Shiochi who is the true support cast among the four since he has more air time than the rest whom were just limited to cameo roles.

Others:

Kuki Ageha – I really don’t get as to why the author has to borrow her from another anime, when he/ she could have just come up with a new character.

Cookie – I don’t know what to make out of that character and so are the rest.

Enjoyment and overall: Poor number 3.

Ok, so as I’ve mentioned this anime is taken from a PC adult eroge visual novel, so it is a PC game, the enjoyment is only on the ecchi and comedy part of the anime which only extents up to the 8th episode and according to another review writer, the anime “Majikoi” didn’t follow the intended arc of the title in fact the title itself doesn’t fit well and I agree, if we’re to assigned this title to another anime I’d say that the title should fit right with “School Rumble,” as for the said animes title “School Rumble” I’d say that is more appropriate to be assigned to this anime since the setting always involves the students of Kawakami Academy.

First episode and so many character introductions, it was hard for me to keep up. We see each character possessing a clearly unique, dare i say, supernatural ability that seemingly obliterates any hope of the other side winning the interesting battles that are the common theme of this show. I enjoyed baka test because of it's characters, comedy, and the idea of the battle system. It was hard of me to find a favorite character and it's only the first episode but for now it will be Miyako eince im a huge archery fan, love the bow. There isn't one character ... i dislike so far, each of them are loveable in their own way.
Moving into art, it's not the best but it kicks butt and it could have been a lot worse so i'm thankful it's not. Sound is good, storyline is interesting to say the least, characters are a go, here's to hoping it stays a 10 till the very end, which it probably will since it earned my 10 just from episode one, it can only get better from here!

If you have not read the VN, it could be considered at best a mediocre harem antics/slice of life show. Decent characters, enjoyable enough, manageable length.

However, should you have read the VN beforehand, STAY AWAY FROM THIS. Dear God. I cannot emphasize this enough. It is completely detached from any of the VN routes, is not loyal to the personality of the characters, and is generally not an outstanding anime to begin with.

I would strongly suggest avoiding this one.

If you fan of an harem or ecchi based anime,fine you can go for it but this may be one of the anime works which I consider not bad/but not much fun as other anime.But if you;re not,just forget this anime. Allright lets make my review short.

Storyline:
I think the first impression of audience is the most important in anime storyline. For my first impression. I was Shocked, the anime started with no clues but more to action and then the development of the story is quite slow.The story has a few flashback,but I think the flashback does not even make me sense anything.(Shocked again).Recently, I ... just discovered the main hero and heroin on the 2nd episode.(Shocked again)

Arts:
The arts ,umm I can only give this anime for 7/10 . I recently watch other anime which is more quality than this one. You can see it by yourself.
P/S: Ro-Kyu-Bu has better quality.

Character:
Too many character.Sometime I quite confused,who is this and who is that. As the anime is harem anime,no wonder 4 girls is in love with their own brother,which is in love with his older sister.(All of them are siblings..Hahaha)

Enjoyment:
I dont really enjoy this anime,but as the story is confusing me all the time.At least this anime has the harem,romance, and ecchi elements make it more enjoyable but not the storyline.

Overall:
Its not to late or it maybe too early to judge the anime.I misjudge some other anime by first impression but the end,it was a succesful work.For now,my overall rating for the anime is 8.

There will be fanservice.

Much fanservice.

But I loved it. The first episode really caught my eye. It came from the middle of nowhere with memorable characters where I was already beginning to pick favorites from and humor that's suited to my tastes.

I didn't expect to enjoy it and found it while randomly scrolling through youtube, but I did.

This is adapted from a eroge visual novel and while the art isn't amazing and is a little generic--I love the characters.

I don't find any of the characters useless or annoying. The characters are strong and everyone has their fair share of time with the audience. ... I'm entertained and when it comes down to it--that's why people make anime, draw manga and continue on with their stories.

I really don't have much to say except to give it a try and hopefully it suits your tastes.

Seeing the first 3 episodes of this series made me play the actual VN the Anime was based on.

The impressions I got from the first 3 episodes are hard to put into words, since I was truly left with mixed feelings. Yes, it is an Eroge adaptation. Yes, it looks generic. But I just LOVE it. It's funny. It's enjoyable.
In additional, I'm a big fan of Itou Shizuka's (Hinagiku Katsura, Haruka Morishima) voice. And Christiane Friedrich (or Chris for short) seems like a character of perfect fit for her. Just your same, awesome Hinagiku, only with a thing for Justince(!!) and a noble bloodline.
If you'll ... have the hots for Chris, I recommend you play her route in the Visual Novel. You won't be left disappointed. She's all innocent, sexy, just, strong, weak, ridiculous, and funny.

I'd give the series a 10, but since we're just 3 episodes in, I'll stay on the safe side and settle for a 9.

I highly suggest googling Ageha and watching the series she's from. It would make this series a lot better (at least it did for me. I get goosebumps everytime I see her in the OP)

Story: Like many people have said, it doesnt have a "story" per se (at least not yet since theres only 2 episodes). However if you are into the kind of shows that have a lot of ecchi action fights and girls who all adore 1 guy then this show is perfect for you.

Personally I am more into the harem aspect of the show, the action is just a bonus for me.

Art: ... Looks very nice. Very bright, and vibrant.

Sound: The OP is really good. I tend to skip OP but due to the fact that Ageha is in it, and that each girl is shown with their trademark abilities/weapons it just draws me in even more. Can't seem to remember the Ending though since I tend to just go to the next episode unless it's the ending of Fairy Tail (The one where Gray is walking alone, that song fits the animation so well)

Character: The characters are the usual bunch. Super Strong leader/object of guys affection but doesnt feel the same way about him, foreign german girl who is not used to the customs of Japan, spunky/cute/optimistic one, Psychotic/obsessed/loves the main guy like no other, shy/flustered/good cook chick.

This actually reminds me A LOT of Infinite Stratos now that I think about it.

Enjoyment: Very enjoyable. I understand how people can either LOVE IT or hate it but I for one am not one of those nitpicky people that dissect shows and analyze every aspect of it.

Give me a good story, with good art, cute girls and some romance. Thats all I ask for.

I am writing this review based on what this anime is about: harem and action. Everyone compares it to the VN, I personally have not played it, so this is an unbiased review.

Story- there really isn't one to speak of, other than trying to beat the former DEVA. It's the basic harem where the girls try to get the guy, but the girls are more forceful than other harems(miyako is my favourite, she would strip naked in public if Yamato asked). The action just from the first episode is so over the top with added superpowers makes it just awesome.

Art- the art is enjoyable, ... the characters are well drawn, the backgrounds too. The fights, anything involving momoyo, are fast, which all you see is arms going back and forth, so it's like they got lazy. The art isn't amazing, but it's still good.

Sound- it went good with most scenes, the fights had excellent soundtracks, the OP and ED were good but not catchy enough for me

Characters- they all followed their respective archetypes, but were more or less open with their feelings, except momoyo. With a half season, the show didn't focus on character development but the action aspect of it, each fight being better than the last.

Enjoyment-I watched this show purely for the harem and action that it had. If you don't like this type of anime don't watch it, if u think this is like the VN don't watch it cause u will bitch about it the whole time.

This anime didn't try to be anything that it wasn't, on the action part, it nailed it, the harem, miyako dull it down and mayu be just a little less awkward, the ecchi was fine, always just in the bath, never in fights to keep focus on the action. It was enjoyable, but it could've been better with 24-26 episodes and a clear choice on who he would choose out of the five.

Like it or not, the anime is actually based on the eroge, a dating sim game that only found it Japan. However, while list most eroge have adapted into H anime since it got most of the H since, some of the eroge theme School Days, Koihime Musou series, and even Happy Days are adapted into the regular Ecchi anime since they are much more better in the non H anime and much popular to the Moe fashion that became the popular phenomenon in manga and anime industry.

Nevertheless, like most of there type, the anime itself focus on the fighting genre and ... romance which I have never seen since 2005. As most of the fighting genre anime almost found in Shoenen only or gory like Baki the Anime, this anime is the only fighting genre might actually combine with romance and ecchi elements.

So overall, I give the artwork 9/10 as I like the way the art was drawn. Hopefully that the anime really dosen't let us down.

Ever had a feeling of watching a show that was really close to another? Well I have been having that with this show. This show is much like that and reminds me of Martial Heart although not as bad. Both have school girls fighting duals against other people in many different get ups from kimono’s to bad ass ninja clothing and they all have a different way of fighting. There is also a lot of nudity, the difference though being that the nudity isn’t actually in the fighting. It’s all in the school life drama that unfolds. The school life is just as it sounds ... like, like every other school life genre with the gags running wild from perverted school mates to love life triangles.

We have 5 girls all fighting for attention of one man, Yamato. We have the stupid one, the overly perverted one, the shy one, the girl who is from another country, and then the tomboy childhood friend. Sorry but that’s pretty much how each of the characters are. They may fight really well but under the surface, it’s just another school life. And then they had to add a bit of a underlining story that goes along with the show about the government or something but it just doesn’t seem to fit all that well. And sadly, the government part would be a big spoiler if I explained it so I’m in a little bit of a loss as to how to make this seem like a different show then all the other ones like it.

The only thing that I have to say is I like Yamato’s undying love for Momoyo Kawakami. He pretty much never really falters in his love for her though he is a major pervert in ways. They had to make it so that he would be going after dirty magazines and movies. I guess it’s a normal high school boy thing but it seriously, it’s a bit overboard. And then there is a point where he gets hurt just because the girls fight over him in one of the most stupid ways. He is a weakling and yet all the girls love him. I’m not against him being skilled in mind but he should be a bit stronger if he’s around those girls.

The animation is what I would expect from a 21st century anime and like many before that I have reviewed, it really didn’t stand out much. It was nice and rather clean lines with characters looking standard to the moe genre. That is really all I can say about it, its standard. It was made on a computer which means that the art style is pretty much the same as other bright shows. Not saying that every anime is made exactly the same but sometimes means that there is nothing to really talk about other then its good.

The voices are pretty perfect for the characters with none of them really standing out except for me thinking I heard the same voice somewhere else. The same voice actor that does Yamato, Josh Grelle, is also the same one who did Satan in The Devil is a Part-Timer. The person who did Yamoto’s friend Shoichi also did one of the twins in Ouran High School. Things like that stick out for me because it seems that these people were dominating the voice acting industry when these were dubbed.

I watched the anime and my impression is like "hmmm... okay...". I played the visual novel and it's like "awesome dude...". Actually, it makes me pretty addicted to visual novels after play that one.

Story:
If I haven't played the VN, I'm pretty sure that I'm gonna wondering and goes "Huh?". There's no proper introduction of who they are, what their relation is, how can they involved in the war and so on. You have to guess it yourself. One of the reasons why I give a bad score on the story is because, the story doesn't revolves around the "Kazama Family". It's only the main character ... and the heroines. And it's too many ero scenes. I mean A LOT. It such a big let down if you compare it to the VN. But, I like the battle scenes.

Art:
I like the art. The girls are so pretty cute and the guys are cool. This is one of the good sides of the anime.

Sound:
Well, I pretty much like the opening and ending song. I like how all of the heroines singing at the ending song.

Character:
Man, this is the worst. The main character is a really great tactician in the VN. But here, he's just a shitty hentai. And the girls, how can you have an interest in someone like him. I literally want to cry.

Enjoyment:
Well, if you're a man you're gonna enjoy this. The battle scenes are pretty cool and the fan services is a wow. They serve it without censor. I don't know if there's a censored version or not. But as an anime lover, it's an okay.

Overall:
I don't recommend this anime. Only watch this anime if you don't have another collection to watch. I recommend the VN though.

[Contains spoilers, information, and epicness]

The plot of this anime was really unexpected once you start to get in the mood of watching it. Personally, I think that there is more than 1 story in this anime, which is really frustrating. I do love the art, it is the same art for all characters which makes it a great projection. The sound is REALLY funny, and by that I mean, it has some parts in the episode with nudes, but the concept of the english voice is quite funny. Character's in here include one of the following: moe, tsundere, crazy, WTF, etc. Overall enjoyment of this ... anime is great, I really recommend for anyone to watch it.

Okay so this is for those people reading the reviews and wondering what they should be expecting from this anime.

First off I'll go ahead and say that I really enjoyed it, so this will be a positive review. This anime is the epitome of ecchi comedy. I originally started watching it expecting something semi-serious, but that was blown out of the water.

I expected the opening episode to set the scene, but nope. That was just there for the luls. Throughout the rest of the series I don't think there was an episode where I wasn't crying with laughter at one point because of the high ... "WTF Factor".

Anyway, to sum up - if you want to enjoy this anime don't expect a good storyline or events/characters/abilities that make any sense whatsoever. This anime should be bad, but I hands-down enjoyed it more than some higher rated animes.

I've watched quite a few harem anime in my time and I must say this is one of the most annoying,I'll try to leave spoilers out although since there is basically no story I'm not sure how I could spoil it.

ART:5
The art is pretty average,nothing memorable or different about it,it just gets the job done all the ecchi scenes are censored though so if you plan on watching for that sorry to disappoint you. The fight scenes were okay but nothing spectacular.

SOUND:5 The sound like the rest of the show is average at best,the endings and opening themes are what you would expect from this ... kind of show and none of the background music (honestly I can't even remember if there was any and I just finished it) stuck with me.

CHARACTER:4 When the most compelling character in a show is a horse figure you know there's a serious problem. Every girl in the show exists solely to fall in love with Yamato,their entire character revolves entirely around fighting for his attention,and while I understand that's how most harem anime works this show makes it painful to watch every girl does exactly the same thing,they have no defining traits in fact you could replace them all with stick figures with weapons and the show won't change,well except Miyako and Mayuchhi they at least added to the "story" a bit,side characters are forgettable apart from one or two and the MC himself....wow,just wow not since yuukiteru amano have I seen such concentrated uselessness in one place in a school where everyone is a martial artist he can't even beat the fodder,he says he's a strategist but never uses any I swear there is more strategy in Gurren Lagann than in anything this guy says or does,he doesn't improve in any way

STORY:5 This show had no idea what it wanted to be I've seen shows that delivered a solid viewing experience in less than 12 episodes this is not one of them it starts off as a high school battle anime,tries to be slice of life-ish for a few episodes,flips over to the MC who is just a high school student by the way going on about saving the country (yes the same guy who gets his ass kicked by unarmed fodder while holding an energy sword) and then back to the fighting,the whole thing feels like filler for something there is no seriousness,no conflict (unless you count the girls literally fighting each other while saying Yamato every 2 seconds) and the fact that for some reason highschoolers have powers that are never explained and are stronger than the entire army put together baffles me

ENJOYMENT:5 It had a few funny moments,fans of ecchi will be disapointed,fans of awesome fight scenes don't hold your breath and if you're a fan of ANY type of plot at all you'd get more of that in a bowl of alphabet soup than you will here,if you watch any episode watch the festival episode that was hilarious.

OVERALL:5 Mediocre show,annoying characters,non-existent story (or completely random filler-like story if you will) Don't waste your time on this

P.S That running gag with the darkskin character was offensive as hell.

This is probably my 2nd favorite harem anime. The characters break free from your standard harem character archetypes without making them too similar. It's as if the writer isn't an anime writer.

It has little to no story, as your standard anime. But that's not really what we watch these for anyway.

The OST and the op/ed themes are very good. In fact, I think I've had the op theme stuck in my head for about 2 weeks now.

If you're into harem/ecchi this anime is a must-watch.
