I asked myself if this anime really deserves 10/10 before posting it, but the fact is I thoroughly enjoyed it - being an Otome fan, this anime has hit all the right buttons:
1. Main female character has a lovable personality and not annoyingly immature or stupid
2. Amazing voice acting by star-studded seiyuus
3. Doki doki (heart pounding) moments e.g. Kabe-don
4. Beautiful art style of all main characters e.g. Ikemen types for Otome fans to swoon over
5. Humour = hilarious at some parts
My only disappointment is that each episode is only 8 mins, but it's common for Developers to introduce Otome game with a short anime. I

Story: 8
A relaxing anime with episodes that are only 8 minutes long. A story about friendship and lots of funny scenes involved as well. Every episode is just to show character development for the main characters. Fighting scenes are short but pretty good! Even though it is kind of a harem anime, there is no romance involved at all which is what I'm looking for. Kenka Banchou Otome can be quite predictable and Hinako will talk to the viewers a lot through this thing called the "4th wall". Character: 8 Each characters are different and have unique personalities. I don't really have much to say about them. ... May 6, 2017
I'm not a big fan of reverse harems (or normal harems), so I began watching this show with quite low expectations, but it has surprisingly become one of my most anticipated shows every week. This isn't a very cerebral show. It's simple, but it's simple done well all because its main focus is on the fight scenes between the protagonist and the other characters.
Each episode is terribly short and all the characters are one-dimensional, but boy, if you're a fan of good fight sequences, this otome-based shoujo is the anime for you. I'm quite happy with the creative decisions the studios behind this series took with ... Aug 7, 2017
In short: Entertaining, but don’t expect too much out of it nor attempt to try thinking too much about it.
Let me get this out of the way first: from an Entertainment point of view, it would probably get an 8, really. It’s lighthearted, it’s fun and if you don’t think too much about it, it’s really a must-watch for reverse harems/otome fans. I don’t think it’d be a waste of your time anyway, since it’s so short. What are you waiting for? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- But since this aspect is what counts the least for me, let me get to the juice. From an overall perspective, I seriously ... Apr 29, 2017
In terms of art and sound the series is pretty average, it does have good art but not as great as some other titles and sound isn't really a big part of the show.
The story, on the other hand, is pretty interesting which you would know if you have read the summary. The characters have pretty average personalities by themselves but together they make a close to ideal group for this specific type of plot. A major drawback, however, is the fact that a single episode is only about 8-9 minutes long which I find highly annoying with the amount of content a plot like this ... Jul 30, 2017
*cracks knuckles*
Alright, time to whoop some ass. I’ll begin by asking one Q: why do guys even bother watching shows that aren’t meant for them, just so that they can whine about how ‘bad’ they are and bring down the entire show’s average rating? I’ll tell you why – because nothing else makes them feel better than to trash something that clearly isn’t made to cater to *their* liking! Anyway, coming to my review. The anime was pretty good, considering it didn’t have a big budget OR that many hours dedicated to it. Lemme break it down for those of you still reading my review: Story: 8/10 Why ... May 7, 2017
the story is a girl meets someone that looking exactly like her that is going to a school for delinquents. the catch is that someone can't fight but she can so they make her go in their place also it's an all boys school. we watch as she climbs her way to the top of the food chain. honestly, the story isn't important at all you can tell that from the 8 min episodes. it is just there for context, the creators only wanted a show to make cool fight scenes and have that be the end of it but know they needed more to

It's not your typically reverse harem anime, and the plot may seem weird to you.
I like it how they are trying to create diversity with these kind of genres because you would always see that female is mostly dominated or clueless. Hinako doesn't have those, she is reasonable and it's not annoying like other reverse harem animes. It's rare to find a reverse harem without me quitting after an episode or two. Story - Well, you don't really see much story progress here, but you can feel that a lot of time has passed and such. It's more likely about the girl getting used to ... Jan 27, 2021
there are so many things wrong about this anime but they all come back to the episode length.
each episode is 8 minutes long, only 6 of which are actually spent progressing the plot. And I mean, it's spent solely progressing the plot. Instead of one major thing happening each episode literally only one thing happens. Thats it. You want to see them actually studying? That's it, they study for 6 minutes. the character designs were pretty good, and if there was more time they probably wouldve felt 3d even. but they each get one scene explaining their backstory and thats their allocated episode. I ... Jun 30, 2017
Personally, the story line of this anime is as basic as it can be. You can obviously predict what will happen and the outcome or ending of the anime. However, that is what I feel just makes it that much more enjoyable. There is no deep meaning to be uncovered nor any useful messages. The anime was just purely for entertainment and I think it was nice. A lot of people complain about the length of this anime but honestly, the use of the few minutes it has was well done. Overall, this anime was short, simple and effective in telling its story. Did I

Honestly the plot for this is terrible, frankly the story is full of holes that just leaves you feeling supper confused after watching it, the only slight good thing about this was the animation that in my opinion was above average.
each episode is only around seven minutes long each and honestly it's just as well, what amuses my is the plot summary mentions managing romance and honestly this doesn't include any of that at all, I can understand they tried to make this work but they really shouldn't have bothered honestly overall I wouldn't even say this is worth the effort of watching. Nov 11, 2017
This anime is absolutely amazing. The art is stunning, the characters are basically typical compared to other reverse harem anime but they do have great personalities and character, and the music is beautiful.
I rated the story 8/10 simply because it was a too rushed. Can't be helped, each episode was less than 10 mins, capped at 12 episodes; how much plot could they possibly cram in there? The main protagonist who is our heroine disguises herself as a boy and enters an all boys school in the place of her long lost twin brother. She isn't annoying in the least and sometimes I forget that she's ... Jul 7, 2020
I'm going to be honest about this anime. I don't remember anything about the characters at all. I only remember the plot and the humor that was in the anime. It was really short and I thought it was just an easy watch, but the more I watched it, the more I got really confused. I kept forgetting the names of the characters.
I, myself, is a big otome fan, but being a big VN/Otome fan gave me high expectations and it just ruined my thoughts of the show. Despite being 8 minutes it was entertaining. Some parts were intense, funny, and emotional. I would ... Aug 30, 2020
Disclaimers:
- I haven't read the manga nor played the game - I'm into gender benders - I've studied martial arts (taekwondo + aikido ) If assessed like a normal anime, yes, its pacing is too fast and skips by what could have been a more in-depth arc, but that's the thing - people being watching this with an expected formula for shoujo animes, so when it doesn't fit the usual setup, they're quick to be disappointed. There are so many ways to tell a story - if you watch with fresh eyes and with just the intent to have a good time, you'll be able to see the story ... Apr 13, 2023
I tried so hard to not drop this anime and idk how people rate it this high. It was so rushed most parts didnt even make sense. It was soo cliche and cheesy but not in the heart pounding way. The only scenes i enjoyed were the ones that the real hikaru was in. They tried so hard to make it deep and emotional and i found that funny since u cant do that with characters that had 3seconds of screen time. My guilty pleasure is otome anime so from someone who has seen a lot of them this is js a waist of time.

I like it, actually. I didn't really expect to much, since the episodes are very short, and we all know how that usually plays out. I still won't say it's an outstanding show, or even great. But it has it's fine points and is enjoyable.
What I have to say though is that it's a shame how the episodes are so short. There would be so much more potential in the show. The art style is very nice, although proportions are sometimes off and I can't halp but feel that the producers got tired with the fighting scenes, with all those shadow-like people. The overall story is ... Aug 7, 2017

English Dubbed Things have changed. What was current might as well have been the past. The time to trade shyness for being involved. Can't afford to have rumors floating around. Sure, the ideas of 'balls' represents ideal toughness but they don't need to know that. Sent to make a change might as well make some more changes. That concept of forced changed is amusing to say the least. From the introduction to the very end this anime has a lot to offer its viewers. Most anime/shows stick with what works. Same song/same cut shots. Not here. This anime doesn't forget the show is fast ... Jun 4, 2017
I really like the show and the story behind it I'm just sad that the episodes are so short. I read on a forum that its a promo. to a video game but I think that the episodes could be longer.
I'm excited to learn what happens next. I hope they are working on season 2 cuz I know by the end of the season I'll have more questions than answers. I hope there is more romance coming. I think that the love story between Hinako and Rintarou (her childhood friend) can be very cute. Although the characters don't have a lot of depth ... Sep 11, 2017
I expected something unique with a strong, bold main heroine. Did the series meet my expectations? Well, not really. Did I enjoy it? In a way.
Story: 6/10 I liked the main idea for the plot yet the execution of it could be better. It felt like we were given some random chunks of the plotline without deeper investigation to them like the blood relations between Hikaru and Hinako or Hinako's "brother" from the orphanage. There were many themes with lots of potential that just went to waste. Art: 4/10 The artstyle itself was ok - not bat yet not outstanding. Still my problem with it is that ... May 9, 2024
Definitely recommended. I don't write a lot of reviews, but I wanted to drop this one just so you don't get disappointed by your regular expectations. It's really short. And really fast paced. There's not nearly enough time to develop the characters through the proper screen time and story telling they need. They just didn't have enough time. But the story is fun, funny, and light hearted. I had a great time with this as a casual watch. Animations were good for something I wasn't expecting much of. I really enjoyed the fight scenes. They were
