Shukufuku no Campanella

This anime has a total "roleplaying" game feel to it with its characters and the ideas of them going on hired quests to obtain items.

The story overall is a 9. I know that isn't perfect but at the end of episode 4 it just feels right.

The art is spectacular for a 9. Like I said it has that roleplaying game feel to it. It just gives me the feel that I am watching a game.

The voices I think could be a little better though. But they do have some great voice actors and actresses.

Characters are well rounded and each has ... their own part to play in the story. No one is left out.

I have to watch episodes 5 & 6 and I am hoping that they can keep the story involved and going. So far I have really enjoyed what they have created.

Overall I give it a 9. Lets see if they can keep it up.

If you're looking for something fast-paced, or with a good story, sadly this isn't for you. It's a very slow-paced SOL style pace, combined with fantasy, ecchi, harem in an attempt to target multiple audiences.

Characters get some development on why they are there, and what they do, but this is limited even after episodes dedicated to different members of the team. The truth is, it looks like it was never planned to go for a second series, just some ova's/specials. Fin after the last episode being a major clue.

The characters are your typical adventure style from game or fantasy ... in some cases, the OP MC, the strong guy in Nick, The mage, and always in the teen/loli area that these animes seem to love when targeting men.

The stories are simple to follow but are pretty much individual to each episode with a common theme of finding an automaton in the church during a meteor shower, and her effect on those around her as she becomes an adventure with unknown powers or strength.

It's a nice enough story, very generic in the way hero saves girl, the hero has a harem, harem provides fan service, hero saves the day as with most such animes. The only new thing is automatons, which to me is no different from robots etc or saving a person in another anime as in many cases you can't tell an automaton from a human.

Overall was simple for me, when i come to watch such an anime that sets out a basic goal by the end of the second episode, if the first is dominated by a character transferred to another world, the character hits the first town. As this lacked that reall. It was a very slice of life in the way, a girl wakes, the girl calls OP MC dad, turns a slice of life in making her happy in slow-paced anime.

My problem is I got bored at stages, as could of condensed a lot of the anime down, i didn't think they needed to single people out to dominate an episode to introduce them, it can be done, spread through the episodes. The missions and guild also felt slow to me, where you picture guilds with lots of missions, this was a slow-paced town it seemed, despite these crystalline monsters. So sadly for me, the story was poor, especially on the fix to Miriam, minettes willingness to sacrifice until OP MC comes for her, and is like want to stay with you and the rest of the guild..

The episodes as not calling it a story are slow, the art is good, the ecchi is on and off, the harem is strong in this one, and the fantasy is overly simplistic. The sound is average and it does just enough to give you enough to keep watching, without winning you over to want to watch it again.

reason i made this review:

so i was on nhentai, and i stumbled upon this nice doujin with a buxom blonde mage lady and lo and behold, i started having flashbacks of me in my formative years beating it to CG's from a VN called Blessing of the Campanella, which featured a rather attractive buxom blonde mage lady.

and i watched the show, and the rest is history.

this show is the worst fucking anime i've ever watched. not in that it's a terrible show in production quality, etc, but it's terrible because it's so, so, so, so bland and mediocre and just fucking BORING. it's ... like if it was parodying the fantasy anime genre....but there was no comedy, and it wasn't self aware.

it's just so horrendously bland and literally the only reason why anyone should even consider blessing of the campanella, is if they're considering the VN

which, by the way, is good. why? because it has really good fucking h-scenes, that's why. so why did they take THE ONLY FUCKING REDEEMING QUALITY FROM THIS SHITPILE AND MAKE IT INTO A GODDAMN FULL LENGTH ANIME

don't watch this. who in their right mind would even consider watching this absolutely derivative and trite stain on the ground anyway, just watch re:zero or some other seasonal trash; surely even danmachi has more originality and charm than this sugary, cookie-cutter used tampon
