Dakara Boku wa, H ga Dekinai.

On the surface, Ryousuke Kaga is the token perverted teenager, spending his days ogling women and indulging in erotic reveries. Because of this, Ryousuke is ostracized by his classmates. Only his childhood friend Mina Okura knows that behind his lecherous persona lies a compassionate boy who has sworn to be chivalrous to girls, believing they are treasures that must be protected.

One fateful day, Ryousuke runs into Lisara Restall, a Soul Reaper hailing from a noble family, whose primary objective in the human realm is to locate a magically potent person known as the One. In order to fuel her movement with magic, she decides to form a provisional contract with Ryousuke: to use his sexual desires as a source of energy. Carrying out this peculiar arrangement with Lisara, Ryousuke encounters many disparate individuals but also learns of the intriguing yet dark secrets surrounding his world.

Alright, if I could give a 9 score to Darling in the Franx, I think it's very reasonable to give this anime the same because
-this anime has an actually good way of character interactions
-this anime has decent animations for battles lol
-this anime, like Darling in the Franx, doesn't have a super deep and complex plot

Now, the reason I could never rate this anime higher is because
-its clearly strong in it's fan service appeal
-there is only 1 season lol

Personally, I didn't mind the lewdness in this show because it's more normal than you think for armor to be "torn" or worn out in battles, ... so I gave the females a break there. The real unnatural lewdness is with the main protagonist and his absurd fascination with the female body.
Yet, even so, you can argue that a true knight will also care deeply about treasuring a woman, though, I don't think eroticism will be a key point. But it's funny that this guy doesn't cut corners and just says it forthright.

Aside from the weak story that might as well not make sense at all, this anime at least had a good consistency from beginning to end. The story / lore is more like a place holder. It might as well be any ordinary story ever made. But it does its job. So good work.

The REAL strengths in this anime is the romance and character interactions. That's where the 9 score is coming from. Like I said, Darling in the Franx had the same issue of having a weak story but a good base of characters and their motives. This anime is the same, and where other more "serious" productions miss their mark, this anime does a really good job at both comedy and serious scenes. The emotions of any ordinary higher production anime are all there, if you can get past the whole "erotic" edge.

These characters are really great and memorable, except for the childhood friend. I found her the least interesting after the first 3 episodes when she was eventually out classed by all the other heroines. This anime, as goofy as it seems, had a better couple than most higher production anime that I've seen.

10/10 a fun short time to rewatch some day.

Mixed Feelings

This one seems like it could have been good it seemed like they were setting up for a second season. The animation was (ohhhh my god) it was so GOOD like unbelievable. The music was fantastic but the ambient sounds would ring for way too long during dialog scenes and it killed the mood. Then the story, it was all over the place. Like the only good scenes were with the mc and heroine besides that. My god what a freaking waste kinda seemed like it had some kind of idea what it was doing at the beginning but by the end you are just ... waiting for it to be over. I liked the end, but its like… we all knew which girl he was going to choose just look at the thumbnail also the ed video has them kissing in it. Idk man I was holding on to this for a while cause I was hoping it was going to be good but mheeeeee. It gets an extra point for the animation and music but 5/10

Not Recommended

At first I thought from the title of the show that is was some sort of social drama regarding poor NEETs who couldn’t score or play erogames, but turns out it is something entirely different. Not for the best though.

THE STAFF
- Animated by Feel, a studio that makes only shitty ecchi anime.
- Directed by Takahashi Takeo, the guy who also did the somewhat nice Spice and Wolf, but is otherwise just another guy deep into passable ecchi titles.
- Based on a light novel, which means a light story. And in this case, just another Shana clone.
Just from the get-go, you already know it will be ... a dumb story full of ecchi that you will be watching for the fan service.

SPECIFICS
Ok guys, it’s based on a light novel, so there is an 80% probability it will have characters and plot almost identical to that of Shakugan no Shana. Not that Shana was the first anime with that formula (that praise goes to 3X3 Eyes) but it is the one that established it back in the good old days when anime were good and initiated a long line of copycats just because it made a million bucks.

And indeed this is yet another such clone. It even came out at around the same time Campione, and Aesthetica of a Rogue Hero did and you clearly see it’s the same thing with slight variations. And the problem is that they all don’t have a loli tsundere voiced by Rie Kugimiya, neither amazing production values. Well, the artwork is good if your expectations don’t go beyond lots of milk cows and random things exploding and clothes ripping apart without hurting the female skin beneath. Other than that, there is nothing eye catchy besides lots of low quality visual effects and done to death school sceneries. In a similar way, the soundtrack is not bad if you have no problem with mediocre pop you won’t give a damn about after it’s all over. As I said, nothing stands too much so in order to sell they just throw in EXCESSIVE FAN SERVICE.

The plot is quite basic, even for a Shana clone. Some guy has some power, some fiery redhaired slut wants it, sexual tension builds up, and monsters attack. The only thing that stands out is simply the huge sex drive the protagonist has, which is used as a power up for the tsundere. I mean, really, this guy is as horny as it gets, he never misses the chance to say sleazy stuff to pretty girls or jump to grab some skin. This automatically makes him a hundred times better than your typical wimp protagonist of modern anime and half as good as a decent anime character with depth and maturity.

Oh well, better than nothing. I like the idea of how he must be turned on every time they are going to fight but never climax while battling so his empowerment won’t drop to zero. Man, that’s one of the worst tortures know to man, lol. Of course like all running jokes it eventually gets old, since he is after boobs every five minutes and never actually has any sex.

The only other two characters that stand out are his childhood friend, dash, girl next door, which is shy and has a humongous rack but otherwise feels very secured and comfortable being next to a deviant bastard who doesn’t miss the chance to dehumanize her gender. The second one is, of course, the redhaired slut who is after his libido in order to be a stronger fighter, as she is looking for yet another special person in his school. For that reason alone she puts up with enough sexual harassment to be sentenced to castration by most courts in the world. She too of course likes him. I guess the females in this show deserve to be treated as rape targets if they only dig such types of males.

In a similar fashion all the antagonists in the show are after the hornyness of the protagonist as means to beat the tsundere, and they are all conveniently pretty chicks who don’t miss the chance to whore-ify themselves in order to… steal his energy source. And yes, I know this is just guilty pleasure but it sure does not make any of the characters sympathetic or developed in any significant way.

Anyways, this is obviously a dumb show you will watch for the porn aspect of it. Every episode is just some poor excuse for some bimbos to have a catfight where their clothes shred all too easy, and the protagonist saving the day by getting horny and molesting them; the end. Oh, and typically everything they trash in a battle gets magically corrected afterwards, so there isn’t even any repercussions for whatever you do in this show. Meaning, the protagonist saves the world daily, has the fun of his life when groping girls, entire buildings get trashed, monsters attack, and nothing changes by the end of the day, besides needing to seriously ejaculate from all this shit. The perfect escapism show where you run away from responsibilities.

As usual, it turns a bit darker and more serious towards the end but by then you have lost all interest and respect for the show, so it doesn’t matter in any significant way. Instead of feeling dramatic it looks like a completely ridiculous attempt at making something nice out of something trashy. In all, it is a throw away anime you will watch only if you are really bored and want something very contrived and brainless.

And now for some excused scorings.
