Jul 3, 2017
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. ...

Preliminary (4/12 eps)
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 ...

Preliminary (3/12 eps)
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 ...

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:

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Preliminary (7/12 eps)
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 ...

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 ...

Preliminary (8/12 eps)
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 ...

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 ...

The animation is mid at best and you can really notice how condensed the story needed to be to get everything across in only 8 minutes per episode but I consistently found myself rooting for the protagonist and smiling when I saw the guys just hanging out together. Its honestly impressive how they still managed to make things emotionally resonant in that short time. Equally surprising is that the anime isn't completely full of transphobia though the protagonist is only trans coded. There is some content which could be interpreted as transphobia but it is not portrayed as correct. Overall I would recommend it.

I think some of the characters and stories are not fully developed, something I did expect given how short the episodes are. That aside, it was fun. I liked it. There’s not really romantic tones to it and at times it goes off the rails but seeing her whoop them every time made me happy. I wish it were a fully complete and developed series. The story was not really familiar but it was still predictable. The art is, of course, beautiful. Main character was not the smartest but she could fight so that’s all that matters. Generally I enjoy this kind of genre and ...

I watched it without knowing it was based on a game but already imagined that it was an adaptation due to the plot being very "otome like", with a female protagonist getting to know a couple of boys, each one having his own plot/route. This is also an anime that don't focus on romance, something that can turn people off.

It also have a rather simple and repetitive story as our girl boss protag friendzone all the boys one by one, each one more stereotypical than the next. But the idea of ​​taking place in contemporary times in an all boys' school give it a ...

This anime had the potential to be amazing. I watched this a while back so it’s a little blurry in my mind, but from what I remember this anime had so much unrealized potential. The plot seemed classic but honestly I couldn’t find anything else with the same plot (trust me I tried). I enjoyed how the show was executed and honestly wished the episodes were longer since they were so exciting. I wish this had gotten another season because there was so much that could’ve been done or explored plot-wise. The characters were enjoyable and the show always managed to keep me at the ...

Really good considering it's only 8 minutes for an episode.
This might be a reverse harem, but our protagonist is not a fragile little girl who needs to be protected. In fact, she beats up the rest of the cast! From my point of view, the structure is quite original. We get the "This is the first time I made friends so it's really important" cliche lines, but I forgive that for the hilarious moments and the fight scenes.

If I had wished for one thing, it would be for more details regarding the main character and their "twin". It would make sense that they'd be actually ...
