Girls Bravo: First Season

Great plot,9, i liked the gist of it.but not really the ending i bealive he should of gotten the other girl (forgot her name) but thats me. I like romatic action funny and echi and had it all
i gave the art an 8 because i liked the animation but ive seen bedder like H.O.T.D. and whold have gotten a 9 but personaly i dont like how the peoples eyes cover there hair kinda annoying but gave an 8

liked the sound no prob with any thing.10

i gave the charactors a 6 because that girl from the other world develops nothing while she is there and ... has almost no emotions other than happy sad or hungery while the other charactor developes alot in her fellings for him and yet chooses the other girl he talks about getting over the rash yet tells that girl to get over it.

enjoyment.7, because it was funny and echi and i like that but made me depresed to find out the girl he acually ends up with and who the other girl ends up likeing

i thought it was a good anime. i like story of this anime and found it to be funny. there wee times when i tought this anime was stupid but it keep me wanting to watch more. so i say watch it if you have not done so.

Recommendation: One of the worst shows I have ever watched in my life. Avoid it like radioactive waste.

Positives:

+ The OP and ED are pretty good I guess? There is virtually nothing good to say about this show.

Negatives:

- This is the kind of show that validates every negative impression people have of anime. It's stupid and crude, it sexualizes children, it's relentlessly horny, and it's painfully unfunny and full of the most derivative anime tropes you can imagine. Every moment of this show is deeply cringeworthy.

- Main protagonist Yukinari is a pathetic little bitch with no personality other than being scared of girls. He exhibits no ... positive traits other than basic politeness, but somehow has women all over him. It's very obviously meant as a self-insert fantasy, but who would ever want to self-insert as someone this fucking lame?

- The writer of this series makes it extremely clear that he hates women. Every female character is shrill, stupid, violent and unreasonable, with the sole exception of main love interest Miharu, who is counterposed with the rest of the female cast as the ideal woman that actually treats Yukinari right. She's portrayed as so angelic, submissive, and childlike in her innocence that she actually comes across as mentally handicapped more than anything.

- Rape and sexual assault is frequently used for "comedy". One of the main cast members is Fukuyama, who quite literally is attempting to molest or rape a female character (including children sometimes) every single time he is on screen, and this is meant to be a hilarious quirk of his. There is actually an ongoing "joke" where Koyomi is literally traumatized from Fukuyama's frequent rape attempts, and it encourages you to laugh at how silly and unreasonable she is for being terrified when he continues to come after her. It goes way beyond uncomfortable, it's just sick and disturbing that someone actually thought this was funny in any way.

- The kind of slice of life series that's aimless and boring rather than being laid back and comfortable. There's no point to any of this, and the central gimmick of Seiren, a planet full of girls, is immediately dropped as Yukinari returns to Earth within minutes and never goes back there.

- Brutally unfunny comedy. Even leaving aside how many of the jokes are based on characters getting sexually assaulted, the jokes and gags that don't involve that are still just awful. It's like watching someone try to do R rated stand up comedy to a room full of uncomfortable silence. I don't think I even cracked a smile one time while watching this.

Story
Well...I never heard of these symtopms "gydrophobia" and "androphobia" ...It was a nice idea to make a story with 2 ppl having these "diseas" lol ...I just finished first season...Soon I will begin the second...Until then...is the usual story "boy meet's lot's of girls" ...I like it...But except the part with the planet that have's only womens [Seiren was the name? :/ -] I don't see nothing briliant anymore...

Art

Unfortunately for me I watched a censored type for season 1 ...But on 2nd I will be sure to watch an uncensored type...I heard it has "great views" ... *cough* ...regarding the landscapes and views...I didn't see ... anything special...

Sound

I gived 10/10 ...Cuz this anime had some unique soundtracks that I liked... OP & ED are cool and cute in the same time :D Love it

Character
Well...lot's of characters with unique traits...But If I have to say...I like the blond haired witch girl [Risa if i'm not wrong -] She is so my type =) I like how he acts in front of Yukinari and regarding how she acted in the first episodes...it became clear in the last episodes that she is a nice girl...As for the other characters...they are funny...but nothing much...

Enjoyment
It is the usual 1 guy per 5 girls ecchi comedy...So... of I enjoyed to the fullest this anime...It had some hilarious moments when I couldn't stop laughing

Overall

I will give him a 9 ...It is a cool anime...but definetley had room for improvement...I just hope the 2nd season will me even nicer than this one...

Really good. Hilarious all around, I was constantly laughing. Cept for all the female nudity which was akward, almost every episode started off with a naked girl. But other then that it was really entertaining! I recommend it to everyone, just don't watch it in public!

This is probably one of the worst romance animes I've ever watched, period. And it's all thanks to one character, just ONE and that is Kazuharu Fukuyama. Worst male character I've ever seen. It sometimes feels like he's the MC considering how much focus he gets than Yukiniari. He's exteremely perverted and doesn't even think about the girls he chases after thinks, when you think of the term "enemy of all women" he's the first one that comes to mind.

The girls are nice and all but the romance never gets anywhere.
Kirie has an obvious crush on Yukinari but it never gets anywhere since ... she is too focus to beat up Fukuyama 90% of the time, so they literally never gets any progress and if they try to get some progress it shortly goes to beating Yukinari up even though it's not his fault. Totally not a tsundere (:

Miharu is an airhead so she never really does anything, she is in love with Yukinari but doesn't make any advances.

There's also a girl who's Fukuyama's little sister who would probably my fav girl if there wasn't one little problem with her... she never gets screentime. They introduced her in one episode and used her less than a handful times after that. What I like about her is her assertivness cause she's the only one that openly loves Yukinari (although the reason for loving him is not the best).

There's also a girl named Koyomi who's scared of men so she's obviously not a love interest for Yukinari, she instead became a victim of Fukuyama's pervertidness.

So basically the only thing I see in this show is Fukuyama's perverted life with quite a lot of show-off ecchi. I'm not saying Yukinari doesn't get any focus, he obviously does since he's the MC but once he has the focus it's just a romance story that never really gets anywhere. I didn't even bother to see the 2nd season, I just googled it to see the episode description and I just saw "Fukuyaba there and Fukuyaba there". So don't go expecting a progressive love story here, I don't recommend it all but if you like seeing a guy chasing after girls 24/7 and groping their breasts without consent then go ahead.

Notice: This review covers both seasons, since they have little to no difference between them.

Animated by AIC Spirits, a specially formed studio just for ecchis. Hm, I guess it was given to the proper people. It is also the first anime that was directed by Aoki Ei, and remains up to now as his worst job. Luckily, he never bothered with this sort of shows again and went to direct some goodies. Which ones? Garden of Sinners and Fate/Zero are the most famous, although many will still remember Gai-Rei: Zero and Wandering Son. He is cool; I like him. So basically we have the proper ... studio and a worthy director cooperating to make a harem show. It should work, right? … Yes, but only superficially.

This is yet another fine example of what a mediocre harem is all about. Just take the list of clichés and keep checking them until you have it all completed. And make sure you don’t change something along the way because the recipe is perfect for what it is. And indeed, the final product may be a fine cake but it lacks all those pretty extras that can make it better than any other mass-produced cake out there.

So, let’s see how they kept this thing as safe as possible. First, they establish that the lead character has an allergy to women, and thus is afraid of them. Then, they throw in alien girls, who seek males because they are very rare on their planet. And thus we get a show where the girls are madly in love with him because he is male and they desperately need to get laid, while at the same time he gets all sick of seeing them. Presto! Harem premise, which is sexy and safe to show on television at the same time… with a few pints of steam to hide all those nasty scenes little kids are not supposed to see.

Now before I say anything more, I must clarify that the premise tried to excuse the whole thing a little bit more than the average of its kind. The harem lead is not just a scared wuss without a reason and the girls have a good excuse to be all over him. At the same time, this whole thing collapses on your face in just one episode. After that he is back on his planet and the girls come over one after another to his place. Why would they stick so much to him if there are around 3 billion other males WITHOUT allergies on the same planet? It was very fun when he was chased around on their homeworld but after that, it just makes no sense and it’s BS as usual.

There isn’t even the slightest sex scene in a show whose main goal is exactly that. Talk about lame or what? Not much of a plot either, other than poor excuses for the harem lead to bump on them naked and be beaten to a pulp ten times per episode. Although some events feel a bit more interesting and dangerous than others, just the fact that he has the usual infinite stamina gimmick makes all threats pointless after awhile. Even beyond that, the lead chick Miharu has this Deus ex magical power which offers an easy way out of any situation. LAAAME!

So aside from the whole excuse of a story, what else is there? Bananas! I mean, woah, they really went out with that symbolism. The stuff Miharu does with them is really something. Other than that… meh, nothing, the characters are all tired archetypes we have seen a thousand times already. As for the humour, the biggest mistake is that it headed just for sleazy softporn and neglected to have some sort of focus on the characters or a few twists in the story. It gets really tired if it doesn’t lead anywhere and the heroes aren’t learning or at least changing a little bit. This is exactly what makes other harems like Love Hina to be on the top of the softporn comedy hill.

The production values are not bad in any way but they do feel standard for their time and don’t have anything particular for you to remember. Even that alien planet full of chicks is hardly seen for the most part and gets erased from your brain. Colouring and soundtrack are so typical; they fail to be memorable for any reason as well. As always, keep away from the censored tv version which steams away all the juicy parts.

So, is there something worthy of your time in here? Not if you have seen more than a few good ecchi and harem shows. There isn’t a single element in it that hasn’t been reused elsewhere. Literally, there are other harems with a guy allergic to women (Hanaukyo Maid Team) and horny alien chicks coming to Earth for males (Boobshells in the Sky). So no, it is a very passable and forgettable title. The only thing I clearly remember about it is Miharu naked in the bathtub, covered in steam, yelling for bananas. Hardly quality material.

And now for some excused scorings.

VERDICT: 3/10

Okey so i went with this one without reading much about it and after the first 3 episode i was hooked. This is was ahead of it's time with subverting common ecchi-harem tropes and the animation is top notch for an anime from the 2000s. You don't really need a story with shows like that to be honest and there isn't nothing interesting in that department. The characters are also okey-ish. Excluding the protagonist who behaves better then most guys in ecchi anime. You know, the ones that scream like little babbys when they see a girls tigh and nose bleed themselves to death. So ... the humor is on spot, the girls are cute and animation is pretty good. I thought that i might've found a jewel in this steaming pile of crap ecchi anime. Well nope.

In episode 5 we're introduced another girl and everything is going pretty okay. Typical ecchi stuff going on, some misundertandings, etc. But then this guy shows up, this blond dude who is the classmate of our protagonist - typical thirsty harem show-off who is propably meant to be a counterbalance for the main character. So what does he do? Sexually assaults the new girl. Like aggresively, without knowing any boundaries. So the whole episode is based around him trying to rape this girl while everyone, including the girl tries to stop him. I was thinking, is this for real? Who thought this was funny? And i thought, well he is basically commic relief so maybe that's only for one episode.

So after the next 2 episodes full of scenes of attempted rape and assault i had enough. The last straw for me was the scene where a group of old guys were hitting on a girl that looked at most 10 years old. Then they tried to assault the other new girl. Oh did i mention that in episode 4 there was one girl who tried to rape main protags childhood friend? Yeah this is wild. And not in a good way. No amount of good slapstick and animation can amount to how vile this show is. I'm dissapoint.

Girls Bravo is one of the best underrated Ecchi anime i ever know, it's story is a bit harem cliche but it's good kind of cliché with alot of interesting characters. Girls Bravo is released on 2014 so it's Art can be consider as good that time, the character art is a real deal too, i'm also amazed with the background art of Miharu's place on that chase scene - it's very classic that looks like mykonos traditional houses.

I like many of the characters of this anime because of their unique characteristics(that time). MC-kun is pretty unique character, he's the type of guy who's ... a passive charmer and easy to be root on romance animes. There's a lot of interesting characters but i prefer Koyomi the most, she a kuudere and a "ii hito" girl, for me she's the perfect girl for Yukinari-kun for some unmentionable reasons(spoilers) and she's god damn cute too.

Overall it's a good classic rom-com anime, the story might be slow-paced sometimes but that what makes Girl Bravo a good mellow anime.

ps. I'll give the fan service 10/10

Girls Bravo feels like a parody of every bad harem anime out there, and for that reason, it's almost so bad it's good.
Harem protagonists are stereotypically seen as wimps, aren't they? Well, the one in Girls Bravo takes the cake as the biggest loser I've seen star in an anime. Ever. The main character, Yukinari, is straight-up allergic to women and has an outright phobia of them too.

However, his life is changed when he's transported to a world where only women exist. The women in this world are nice and don't give him rashes, unlike the pesky ones on Earth. They're all in love ... with him; he's the only male they've seen in years, after all. One of the women of this world, Miharu, accidentally comes back to Earth with him.
The premise alone is just so pandering, they don't try to hide it.
However, I will say this series has its fair share of good comedy. (The kind they intended, not the so-bad-it's-good kind) Kazuharu is probably the funniest character in the show. The scene of him dancing on a rooftop dressed in a banana suit was too priceless.
Also, the music is pretty good.

So, that's my take on it. It's a show that clearly panders, has a really stupid premise, but it's almost so bad it's good.

I will go ahead and be honest. My friends and I (I being the only one into anime) decided to watch this show as a joke. Well, I will say that it was better than I expected. I know I still only gave it a 5, but I will explain that. In my opinion this is a fun show to watch with friends and that's it. I couldn't imagine watching it alone. The story is the big issue for me. It's just kind of meh. I think most of the characters are enjoyable as well as the art, ... but I just can't get passed the story. It just wasn't very interesting. The interesting part was the interactions with the characters. I would recommend this to people just wanting to have a good time and not take anything too seriously. It gets a 5 only because of the story when comparing it to the standards of other animes.

well to be honest i have mixed feelings about this one
i know it is common in most ecchi series to have a weak male character but this one takes to far i mean literally the guy gets rash whenever a girls touches him
however it is one of the funniest and ecchiest animes i have ever seen
Fukuyama character and the whole hitting the pervert is perfected to the point of art
you will definitely laugh and also feel disgusted with the way main character is depicted
and also i have to warn you when i say it is ecchiest i mean it
this one is no mere ... panty flash many girls literally get naked during almost all episodes
which is totally fine if you are okay with it!
i hope this will help future generations of GB watchers!

I know its a bit early to be writing a review of a show after only five episodes but I've already made up my mind about it. It is quite a funny anime with a fair bit of nudity (which for me is a good thing). The plot so far is kind of non-existent but i suppose with the ecchi/ harem genre it is hard to get a good plot in. The major drawback for me (personal opinion) is a character called Kazuharu Fukuyama who I guess was added to give the show to give it more comedy but instead ruins it for me. He ... just pops up every five minuets to grope the main girls and it just becomes extremely frustrating as it happens in the middle of EVERY conversation in the anime and just removes any serious/ romantic elements it had going. That said it is hard to stop watching, good anime with a major flaw in the characters.

Girl's Bravo is a very typical harem ecchi anime, complete with a whiny protagonist and lots of gratuitous scenes of girls bathing. It tries to be everything ToLove Ru is, but comes up short in every department. The girls aren't as charming, the protagonist is somehow more annoying and the show isn't all that funny. The best character is Kosame.

I wish more shows had the balls to make a protagonist less like Yukinari and more like Fukuyama. He's funny because he's like a hentai protagonist escaped into a softcore ecchi anime. Yukinari is so bland he gives modern female Star Wars protagonists a run for ... their money.

I give it a 7/10 for not doing anything especially well, but for being decently entertaining.

Like with other shows like this, this one is about the cute likable girl. In this case Miharu.

I can't say for all men, but I find Miharu very cute, likable, adorable and sexy. Waifu/wife material. ( I watched it long ago, so I fight not remember everything properly. I do not have the same memory device with me as Featherine does.)

She is from Seiren, where men is 10% of population and women the remaining 90%. So it is like dating in Russia there. Except in Russia most girls are like Miharu's older sister Maharu and none are like Miharu herself. So I ran away from ... there before they caught me and can write this review now.

That said I do wonder on what kind of moon girls like Miharu can be found?

This is one of the shows that you watch for the main character, not for the story, idea or something comparably lofty.

Show is mostly episodic and each episode revolves around main characters doing something particular. Story wise it is a slice of life. It is not very original, but at the same time, neither too weird, nor too violent.

Miharu is particularly nice and gentle. No wonder that even dudes with allergy on girls can be close to her.

To sum it up if you like Miharu or girls like her you should watch this show. There is not much more to say.

Quite frankly, this shit was ass lmao. Younger me clearly only watched it because it had tits and I was a blossoming lesbian. But now that my brain isn't entirely addled with hormones and confusion, I can confidently say that this show sucks balls. I could probably write an entire deep-think piece about why this series aught to be crucified, but that would most likely require more braincells than it did to actually create the damn series.

TL;DR - Excessive fan service and harassment of underage characters, lame and overused jokes, characters ranging from meh to disgusting, and the most absurd shit happens and it's ... not even funny. It's just weird. Not a ~fun~ ~quirky~ and ~cool~ weird. Just weird. This shit is WEIRD.

And one final thing: I know that this is "normal" for the ecchi/harem genres and for anime/manga in general. But just because something is prominent and normalized doesn't mean it's not weird and that it's free from me calling it such.
