Synopsis

Shungo Ninomiya is just an ordinary, run-of-the-mill high school student who lives at home with his older sister Ryoko—at least when she's not away doing her job as a mercenary. However, Shungo's life ceases to be normal the moment a cute girl named Mayu Tsukimura descends into the middle of his school's campus in a military-grade helicopter. It turns out Ryoko sent this girl, along with her older brother Mikihiro, to live at the Ninomiya household.

But the newly-arrived siblings are a little special: Mayu is, in fact, a succubus and her brother, an incubus! And as if the circumstances are not problematic enough, Mayu is crippled with androphobia—the fear of men—and it's up to Shungo to help her overcome this at the behest of his sister. Ryoko plans to force Mayu to be closer to Shungo, and to do this, she’ll employ some questionable methods such as having them share the same bed and even take baths together.

The situation further complicates when student council president Reika Houjou arrives as the new maid of the Ninomiya family, and she will stop at nothing to thwart Shungo and Mayu’s sexually-geared training. With the sudden arrival of all these oddities, Shungo's ordinary life is about to be thrown into utter turmoil.

Goshuushou-sama Ninomiya-kun, is just one of those shows that you probably shouldn't like but you do anyway. Even for an echii show this is pretty over the top at times. It’s full of swimsuits, bouncing boobs, and moe. If you like those themes then you’re really going to love this.

The story is pretty weak overall though it does have a premise that is fairly unique. Mayu Tsukimura is a succubus, who pretty humorously suffers from a fear of men, well except one, our hero Shungo Ninomiya. The story starts with Mayu's brother and Shungo's sister having him protect her from zealous boys drawn to her by her succubus power she can’t control and helping her overcome her fear of men. This puts our mains in plenty of echii situations, such as being forced to sleep, bathe, fondle and other silly sexual situations. To tell you the truth as much as this anime was geared towards the sex drive of young men I still found these situations quite funny. Of course there is always a rival, and Reika Houjou, a rich spoiled girl who is in love with Shungo, fills that role. Even taking a demeaning position as a maid in his house to keep an eye on his relationship with Mayu. There is a series of dreams that unfold as the show progresses that reveal more and more of the motivations of the characters. This becomes the real story and the show becomes less and less about what it starts out as.

Most of the characters of the show really stand out and are exceptional. I really enjoyed them and their antics are hilarious. They don’t have a tremendous amount of depth which is why I only give them a good rating. Probably because the series is short there isn’t much development or back story. We never really find out more about the succubus' or why there seems to be so many running around. Reika probably is the best developed character and you can see actual growth with her as the series comes to its conclusion. But like I said, they are just fun to watch!

The animation I felt was really great. Very cute character designs and shockingly no loli's! They are all high school age and they actually look it. Mayu especially is drawn to bring out the moe feelings in all of us. This is reinforced by her voice acting. I just wanted to grab her and snuggle with her too! All the other acting is very good too, usually there is always some character whose voice gets on my nerves but not so in this series. The songs are all very catchy and fun too.

Overall this show isn’t going to win any awards for depth or make you smarter. This is pure eye candy. It’s a must watch for anyone who is a fan of echii/harem genre but I think also for anyone who wants to watch a lighthearted comedy. Your experience may vary but I don’t see how anyone could "hate" this show.

If someone were to take all the most popular elements of a typical harem anime, add nothing new and make a new show out of it, you would end up as something like Goshuushou-sama Ninomiya-kun. Coming from the same studio that produced Girls Bravo, this isn't all too surprising to be fair.

Story
The story is pedestrian by most standards for the harem genre. The focus is primarily on the daily life of Ninomiya Shungo, and is really only pushed forward by his recalling of long suppressed memories of his childhood. There are a couple moments in which the plot strives to be something greater than is read more

*was redone

story:
It was kinda weak, but good enough for me to enjoy it. It seriously made me root for something bad to happen sometimes.

art:
Pretty much the worst part of the anime. It looked pretty bad, but it wasn't unbearable though. The designs for the characters were pretty lacking except for the design for Mayu. Reika was probably the worst of all even considering all of the supporting characters.

sound:
I really liked the sound. The OP was really good for it. And the ED (which is usually pretty much ignored by me) was pretty enjoyable to watch.

character:
Not enough developement. At first they were developing great but then read more

Story
This is a romantic comedy, with some harem elements. I was therefore quite surprised that the show actually had a little deep story, some episodes in. It definitely didn’t turn out as a regular harem, etc. Most of the episodes were pretty random, but they all lead to the ending, which I thought was quite neat. The comedy was most prominent, but it also had a slice of drama, and a bit of irregular romance. But at one time it was a bit ridiculous, with succubuses popping out from every corner. Although, it didn’t affect the story as a whole.

Art
The animation was clean and looked read more
