Nagasarete Airantou

The purpose of this whacky romantic comedy is portraying every straight guy's fantasy. Ikuto is a teenage boy who happened to get stranded on an island paradise but that's not the whole of it as this strange island is inhabited with girls, all desperate for a man.

This provides the setting of the ideal harem, romantic, comedy because nothing really has to make sense. From the very beginning Ikuto has his pick of any of the gorgeous girls and no matter how cute or crazy for him they are, it is inevitable that he will end up with ****. To my knowledge, only two harem Rom/Coms ... have been able to produce an unpredictable outcome, full of speculation: "Shuffle (anime)" and "Ichigo 100% (manga)". Nagasarete Airantou is just one of the tonnes of predictable harems being churned out. The other girls are barely a part of the story and only appear for comic relief. After first couple of episodes the story doesn't really develop at all with only minor romantic developments throughout.

This really isn't a bad thing as the comedy is hilarious throughout the series. On the other hand there's one joke that gets old fast and it's the overuse of the classic ecchi = nosebleed one that will make you wonder; shouldn't Ikuto be dead yet from severe blood loss? Like most of the guys watching this anime, I'm always thinking that he should just plug up his nose and wash Suzu's back once in a while XD.

The animation quality is pretty decent for a romantic comedy, with plenty of rich colours to suit the "island paradise" concept. The characters are decently designed, without having bodies out of proportion, but a lot of the character looks do make you question their age or maybe the animators just have a Lolita-complex. The music is catchy but extremely repetitive and it easily gets boring after a couple episodes.

Overall this is another one of those enjoyable romantic comedies that you don't watch for the romantic developments but for the stupid comedy and pointless mini stories. There's really no development at all during most of the show which is why it can get boring after a while however the comedy and cheesy moments do help pick it up all the time, until the inevitable end. So comedy fans should check this out.

The ending was just terrible. like what was the whole point of it, all that emotional build up just for that?? The characters were for the most part pretty bland. The only girl i actually cared about was Suzu as she actually cared about the MC and his feelings. Everybody else just cared about themselves. Some episodes are entirely skippable as they didn't add to the story. Like around halfway through the anime it felt like they gave up. Mostly because the plot dropped off dramatically, like the whole spa episode you could skip along with others. The MC at least wasn't all that ... pathetic and weak, like he actually started training when he saw himself as weak. Overall the series as a whole was pretty average but still enjoyable if you've never seen it before. 6/10.

I am a petty person. When particular series gets on my nerves, I usually just drop it. If it's very annoying, I write a bad review for it. And, in some cases, to which Nagasarete Airantou belong, make me drop it, forget it for the next 2 years, then get reminded of it and get so annoyed at myself for wasting time with it that I write a bad review for it. Well, here goes my rant.
This series is mediocre. Honestly, if I wasn't sure this series doesn't deserve 5 ovarall score I would pick it just for the description of the mark, "mediocre".
It's ... not explicitly graphic with adult material.
As a result, this is as harem as real life would get when you ended up in all-female village. There's actually a girlfiend character here, too.
It's jokes are weak, and, what's worse,the storywriters don't understand the concept of freshness of a joke.
Characters are not deep (yes, they are not. fuck all of the other reviewers that wrote otherwise. I pray that you get married to a fucking Dynasty Warriors mob unit, if this is what you call deep.), they are a straightforward encyclopedia of cliches.
art is... well, it's appropiate for second-rate harem.

To sum it up, this is one of those shows that i'm angry about that they get 2 cour worth of episodes when there are much better (comedy, romance, ecchi, story, whatever-wise) series out there getting only 12 eps, or none at all.
