I heard that it was an exercise anime. I also heard that it had fan service, cliche moe girls, and hardly any storyline. I watched every episode of this expecting something more. But at the same time... what was I expecting.

The story was simple. A bunch of girls want to be idols so they exercise and talk about how they feel as though they're fat. The smaller ones want bigger boobs and the bigger ones want smaller thighs/hips. They teach you how to exercise.

The art was very cute. Very bright. Lots of fan service but not to an ecchi level.

They focused around one ... song about smiles and exercise and what not. Also very cute and bright

Characters were incredibly cliche focusing around you- the harem king/queen who is exercising with them.

It was a decent anime. I didn't exercise at all while watching it though, I finished it cause it was short and I was curious to see who the next episode's character would be (I never saw the first season. Whoops.)

My sister recommended this anime to me due to my love of the psychological/horror genres. I'm sorry to say that I'm rather dissapointed... This show had a lot of potential but the execution was terrible and it was crammed into an unorganized 12 episodes.

The story could've been good but it wasn't. It started out on a high note than it went downhill into cheap deaths and characters with 5 second screen time. I was looking forward to the ending hoping Ganta would face the red man (and if you watched the show you know how complicated that whole situation would've been) because THAT would've ... been a shock value. That ended up dissapointing me more than anything else. The arcs were strangely put together going from battles to the death to choppy backstories to the happily ever after approach?

The art was very good, I enjoyed the character design and the gore wasn't too overwhelming. Theye also put good thought into color symbolism and how it affects the overall mood.

The opening and ending were enjoyable. Nothing wrong there but not my favorite either. The opening bothered me a little though cause it looked.. fan made if that makes sense. Like an AMV. I liked the photography idea for the ending. Cute.

Characters were all very interesting, I was hoping I could make one of them a favorite- but none of them had nearly enough screen time. Their stories seemed incomplete and the seemingly important characters didn't come until later. Speaking of later- what the hell was Ganta doing for the first 10 episodes? I get the whole underdog thing they were going for but his character is incredibly unrealistic and he would've died the second he stepped foot in that place. Also- the people running the place knew the (spoilers?) video was fake so why did they think he was so strong and special? His powers were lacking- the only thing they wanted was to test what the red man implanted.

Enjoyment level is entirely biased and tbh I got bored after the fourth episode. I completed it just to see the ending (which drove me to write this review in the first place)

It took everything I had not to drop this terrible piece of work. At first glance I saw a reverse harem (which I personally enjoy) that was beautifully drawn (another enjoyment) that also just so happened to include a supernatural element (so much potential enjoyment). I read the description and proceeded to watch the first episode. It was awful. The characters were rubbing off as abusive weirdos and I forced myself to continue cause I thought there might be an okay story line and was hopeful that the characters would develop into something better along the line. I was wrong.

~No enjoyment whatsoever. I'd have to ... be paid to watch this anime again.
~There was barely a story line and what of it only came around towards the end of the anime- In which I had already wasted my time in watching. It was weak and didn't leave an impression.
~The art was lovely. I really enjoyed it. Pity it was wasted on such a terrible show.
~The sound was decent. It did sound sort of... vampiric.
~The characters were awful. If you're into S&M (Sadism/Masochism) than you'll probably like the way they all treated each other and reacted. Yui was a girl with no backbone and not a single intelligent thought in her brain and the brothers were all terrible to her. They didn't like her to any extent as you would expect from a supposed romance anime. They lusted after her and her blood but in such a way where it wasn't even attractive. Just.. creepy.
