Review #3: Kimiaru/They Are My Noble Masters

Story 6/10 -- The story for this anime is very underdeveloped. There isn't much of a plot or long story, and it's more of a daily event anime that relies on comedy rather then actual story. The past is mainly focused on or hinted in this series, but the future seems rather uncertain. The story could of created more intrigue, as there was a few exciting events in this anime, however since this is based off an eroge, it seemed to me like it was struggling in choosing a genre to focus on in the storyline.

Art 7/10 -- ... Not Sure how the art compares to other animes from 2008, but to me it seemed average and i noticed a few mistakes here and there. The mansion has a beautiful exterior, and the city landscape was nice however. The character art is average, but there is some uniqueness with the style.

Sound 7/10 -- No Complaints for me about the sound. The acting is normal, OP is decent, and background is fine.

Character 8/10 -- The Reason im giving character an 8 is because I liked the style the characters had in this series. Each character has there own funny quirk/personality that make them likable, and the backgrounds and pasts of each character blend in rather well. The macho butler is funny when he has screen time, and i support the little side romances this anime had on the side.

Enjoyment 7/10 -- For an anime that came out a decade ago, I was pretty content when I first watched the series. There was some decent comedy, and the relationships between the character were nice to watch. The head butler makes things interesting with his awesome action moves, and the random comedic stints were done alright for an anime of this time. I liked Rin's character, but was annoyed with a few of his decisions.

Overall 7/10 -- The anime lacks a solid story, but the characters mixed in with the daily life comedy is a pleasant substitute for that. Art and Sound is average, but this anime is a solid 7, and its based off a visual novel eroge. Time is an important motif in this anime, and the past haunts all these characters, but they overcome it as a rich household family of maids, butlers, and ladies.

They Are My Noble Masters distinguishes itself within the ecchi anime realm. Unlike many others in the genre, it doesn't solely rely on tired tropes like the "accidental boob grab" for its humor. Instead, it cleverly integrates parody and breaks the fourth wall, delivering comedy in a more authentic manner. The characters are richly developed, each with their own quirks and backstories, evolving naturally throughout the show. Their dynamic feels akin to a tight-knit family, adding a heartwarming dimension to the show.

Although there's a touch of melodrama, it's kept in check and doesn't overshadow the narrative. While the animation and sound are decent, the standout ... feature is the exceptional voice acting, which expertly highlights each character's individuality.

In essence, They Are My Noble Masters demonstrates that ecchi anime can offer more than just fanservice. It strikes a rare balance between titillation and storytelling, making it worth a watch even for those not typically drawn to the genre.

Not a bad anime, but not good enough to really enjoy.

Story wise it was slow, flash backs to explain his past was normal. The main idea wasn't bad, though as i continued to watch it did not flow well. The MC was cool and respectable and the siblings was a nice duo. Some of the other characters felt hard to connect with.

Some of the comedy didn't fit well at the time either. Though some of the scenes with the main butler and the MC were great. There connection when they first met was comical, even if it was over the top. The little ... I saw between them was enjoyable.

The anime itself wasn't my cup of tea. But, there are some spicy scenes I'm sure some would be pleased.
