Peter Grill to Kenja no Jikan

5/5 stars

Peter Grill and the Philosopher's Time is a delightful romp through the absurdities of the harem genre, wrapped in the trappings of a fantasy world. If you're someone who enjoys a healthy dose of humor, ample fan service, and a protagonist caught in the most awkward of situations, then this anime is tailor-made for you.

The premise revolves around Peter Grill, a skilled and renowned fighter who has just won the prestigious "Strongest Man in the World" tournament. However, his victory comes with unexpected consequences when he discovers that winning means he's now the most desirable mate for women across the land, both human and ... non-human. The catch? Peter is already in a loving relationship with his girlfriend, and his fidelity is put to the test at every turn.

What sets Peter Grill apart from other harem anime is its unabashed commitment to absurdity. From ludicrously over-the-top scenarios to hilariously exaggerated character reactions, every episode is a rollercoaster of laughter. The humor often leans heavily on sexual innuendos and situations, so it's definitely not for the prudish viewer. However, if you can appreciate the sheer audacity of its comedic premise, you're in for a treat.

Despite its focus on comedy and fan service, Peter Grill does manage to sneak in some interesting commentary on societal expectations, fidelity, and the consequences of one's actions. While these themes aren't explored in great depth, they add a layer of substance to what might otherwise be dismissed as mere titillation.

Visually, the anime is bright and colorful, with character designs that range from charming to outright ridiculous. The animation quality is solid, particularly during the action sequences, which are surprisingly well-executed given the show's comedic tone.

However, Peter Grill is not without its flaws. Some viewers may find its reliance on fan service and sexual humor tiresome, and the plot can feel repetitive at times. Additionally, the supporting cast, while entertaining, lacks depth and development beyond their comedic archetypes.

In conclusion, Peter Grill and the Philosopher's Time is a raucously entertaining anime that revels in its own absurdity. It's not for everyone, but if you're in the mood for a lighthearted romp with plenty of laughs and a healthy serving of fan service, you'll find plenty to enjoy here. Just be prepared to leave your inhibitions at the door.

Not even the sheer amount of fan service was able to save this disaster.. the plot is absolute garbage, the characters are absolute garbage & the humour is absolute garbage.. to sum up this show, it’s absolute garbage..

STORY: 1 - MC wins tournament, loads of girls want his seed & will do anything to have it.. que sleazy fan service & cringey jokes every episode..

ART: 6 - no actual complaints, was very good..

SOUND: 4 - nothing stood out, OP was a bit catchy but the VA was cringe..

CHARACTER: 1 - absolute garbage characters.. MC is a spineless scumbag..

ENJOYMENT: 1 - I couldn’t even enjoy the ... fan service with such annoying characters..

This is the most amazing anime ever. I have never seen such an amazing plot in anime ever. The Grill is just to much for me to handle emotionally. I just cry everytime i see it. It's time that it gets the recognition it deserves. It is Unfathomable, how amazing The Grill is. His chad levels are off the charts, and the action is awesome. I can't help but be attracted to The Grill. When i saw his muscles, i couldn't help but blush. This anime is better then evangelion, Dbz, Bleach, One Piece, Hunter x Hunter, Black butler, EVEN the holy grail of anime: ... Uzaki-chan Wants To Hang Out. To watch this anime is to be truly ENLIGHTENED. Please my brothers. Give The Grill a 10/10. Help Him Pierce the Heavens

I see way too many people taking this series much too seriously. this whole series is a good way to have a laugh at the misfortune of a man just trying to be loyal while being bombarded by constant temptation while having to deal with the desires of man.
it's truly hilarious and it's not meant to be watched for the story, there's nothing there, it's more of just this guy being thrown into situation after situation that test his loyalty to the woman he cares about, but ends up losing every single time. it's a comedy fanservice and that's it. and if you were to ... rate it by those standards in it's respected genre I have to give this a solid 8/10, I can't count the amount of ecchi where the main character is just a loser who throws away every opportunity in the most depressing way and it's been overdone while in this series takes the opposite approach, the episodes are 10 minutes long each + end and intro theme. you can knock this whole thing out in a few hours. I recommend to anyone looking for a funny fanservice. I would also make sure to watch the uncensored version. might as well.
overall 8/10

The Va for the MC is named Hiro what better way to show how chad an MC can be plus this guy is like what happens after the MC wins? This is the answer he is not only the strongest and has proven it but the plot gets deep quickly with what problems would be faced after showing the world you are the strongest/best. Do you finally get your love do you have new challenges well only one way to find out. Watch a beast of an MC navigate life after becoming the worlds strongest and have some laughs while doing it.

Truth be told, when you really think about it, all of this is really his fault more so than anyone else’s. Now I’m not defending everyone else’s horrible decisions in this show, but he’s almost certainly the root factor to all of what’s been sown here.

Story:

Peter Grill is the man that’s been crowned as the strongest in this unnamed, extremely generic fantasy world. And to help celebrate his achievement at being the strongest warrior, he proposes to his senior and girlfriend, Luvelia and tries to make their relationship official in the eyes of their peers and other relating government bodies. But as it turns out, ... Luvelia doesn’t exactly know where babies come from. And to make the situation even worse, representatives from other races have approached Peter in hopes to claim the ‘strongest one’s seed’ for their own and bear powerful children as a result. Which, for a weak-willed man such as Peter, is apparently a tall order not to refuse.

You can probably reduce this show to the running gag of various women attempting to seduce Peter in order to have ‘baby-making sex’, and you’d be right. More and more episodes only add to this compounding problem by throwing even more women to the mix, which unfortunately for Peter, makes it very difficult to keep it in his pants because the promise of tits and ass is just too tempting.

So what even is the appeal to a show like this? Honestly, I think it comes from watching Peter fail and the hilarity that comes from a protagonist that’s dug a hole as big as this for himself. True, there are many, many, many characters that push him towards this direction, (and by many, I mean basically the rest of the cast), but at the end of the day, it’s his own infidelity and lizard brain that pushes him into these personally unfavorable situations, and him trying to get him out of the problems he’s caused for himself is what makes the show at the very least…unique, in its own regard. Especially since every other part of the show doesn’t really have much else that’s remotely interesting to note for it. Not its worldbuilding or its very few action sequences, and least of all its characters.

Unfortunately that puts this show more in something that’s good for its novelty and little else. The running gag is the show, and without it, there’s not really an identity that Peter Grill the series has that it can latch onto. You pretty much only watch the show in order to see how much deeper this man can dig himself into, and maybe some of the eye candy the show provides alongside its absurd plot. The novelty can wear off pretty fast since every episode is almost a palette swap of what’s been seen before, with only different establishing circumstances in order to get the final result. Which for anyone wanting anything else with more substance…look somewhere else.

Characters:

Being the paragon of a devoted man, Peter Grill is the shining example of what not to do to your fiancée, and does so through gritted teeth and shameless acts of public nudity as he screams down hallways severely regretting what he’s done after the fact. Honestly, Peter isn’t really all that interesting, and the series really sets him up to be the protagonist that you want to see fail. (Or one that you pity, either or really.) The most you’ll get out of him is his snappy retorts against the women who only want him as a breeding bull as well as his devotion to his fiancée whenever a spare set of tits or ass isn’t in his face begging him to sow his next generation in someone else. Which for a comedy series like this, is fine since this is the joke that the show wants you to focus on. But he’s definitely as interesting as a piece of cardboard without that, so as a character, he’s not that great.

The girls are even less so since the character traits that they’re given are all basically carbon copies of each other. With the only differences being their respective builds, races, and maybe motivation as to why they want to get pregnant with his seed. But aside from those surprisingly minor differences, you have a quartet of girls who don’t know what the word ‘no’ means, and constantly seduce Peter to get what they want. (Hell their names aren’t even that important in the long run.) They’re the driving forces of the show, which is kind of interesting since the amount of personality they all have is pretty much the same as a layer of paint that you would use to coat the piece of cardboard named Peter. Though it’s not all that interesting since the lack of variety in this show is staggering.

The last character I want to talk about is Luvelia, who’s really more of a framing device more than an actual character. She barely gets any screentime, and despite Peter showering her with a lot of praise, we don’t really get to know the relationship the two of them have with each other any more than we did at the beginning. Yeah she’s a kind of necessary part of the show, but she’s hardly anything interesting.

The side characters I feel aren’t really all that interesting. There are a couple kind of fun one off characters, and Tim, but considering the state of the show’s ‘main’ characters, talking about the ones in the background doesn’t really interest me because they’re ALSO about as interesting as drying paint.

Aesthetics:

Peter Grill being Wolfsbane’s only anime they’ve produced in their repertoire is…well, honestly I’ve never reviewed a show where the show is the only thing on the studio’s resume. To give it an actual review of the show’s aesthetics… It’s fine. It’s kinda standard, and nothing about it particularly stands out. The show’s setting being such a generic looking fantasy doesn’t give the show much of an identity, and I really couldn’t care less about the character designs or anything of the animation since there’s not really a lot to talk about given how ordinary everything kind of looks.

What IS noteworthy is the amount of times the characters are either naked or are basking in the afterglow of having had done the deed. The show having an uncensored version at least makes the show mildly more fun to watch considering just how many times the girls are done to strip and try again to hit the target, but that’s about as much actual intrigue the art has. And if one is watching for that specific reason…well, hentai exists. The show doesn’t even show the actual sex that goes on, so you’re actually better off on watching hentai for sex in a generic fantasy setting if that’s the kind of speed you’re looking for.

“Tsuranuite Yuuutsu” by Yui Ninomiya is definitely not the kind of song I expected for a show like this, but it was definitely a welcome surprise if only because it’s not at all what I was expecting. The kind of rock and modern song for a series about infidelity takes a bit to get used to it, but over time, I got used to it. Definitely not a ‘memorable’ song, but memorable if only because it’s Luvelia’s VA singing this, and that’s a fucking twist of irony if I’ve ever heard it.

“Yoridokoro” by Hilcrhyme is, by contrast, a softer rock song that’s funnier if only because it plays to the visuals of Peter feeling existential crisis while surrounded by the naked girls he regrets fucking, again. It’s honestly a pretty nice song, and definitely not something I expected from a show like…this. But I think that adds to the comedy factor; I certainly got a laugh out of it when I saw the ending credits for the first time. And it’s still kinda funny.

Final Thoughts:

This series got a lot more negative press than I expected when I heard that this was getting an adaptation. True the subject material is pretty…unfavored, and the series playing this kind of stuff for laughs definitely puts this in the very niche category of comedic value. Personally though, I find the series at the very least humorous if only because I get to laugh at the protagonist for his mistakes and being able to see how deep this hole goes is at least vaguely interesting.

What I like less though is just how repetitive the show is. There’s not really a lot of progression or anything meaningful that the show has to offer, which leaves it pretty stale and without a lot of merit behind it. You can pretty much just watch the first two or three episodes and you’d get the whole span of what there is to see with the rest of the show. Peter is certainly an unfortunate character in this whole thing, but definitely not one without his own faults and contributions to the situation he’s in. Should he have not had any autonomy on the decisions of what his next move would be towards the girls that’re seducing him, we’d be having a very, very, very different conversation to any merit or any ‘content’ problems the series has. But because Peter never once passes up the opportunity for sex in any of the major encounters he has with the girls, I can’t really see this as anything but a problem that’s at least partly his fault, and for something like that, I feel like it’s ok to portray this in a comedic light, especially since he always tries to cover up his tracks in order to not lose integrity with his peers, and especially from the girl he proposed to.

That being said, this isn’t really a series I’d recommend unless you’re someone that’s really interested in this kind of sadistic humor, want to watch with buddies to laugh at something stupid, or just want to watch a show that’s got tits and ass but you don’t really want to type in a hentai site to satisfy whatever urges that’re plaguing you at the moment. This show is definitely not for everyone, and more than that, the show only having like one joke gives the longevity and intrigue of the series not a lot of room to grow since once you’ve seen one episode, you’ve pretty much seen them all. Plus, the show’s only got 12 minute episodes; thing’s half as long as a regular cour anyway. So expecting a lot with so little time is really asking for a lot.

People who are giving this poor reviews aren't looking at the show for what it is, fan service. If that isn't your cup of tea then move along. Other than that is a pretty alright show. It's got your ecchi and comedy scenes and the episodes are short so it moves p quickly. Would recommend if you're trying to look some anime girls real quick and you want a mc to self insert. The animation looks new and isn't lacking and the few action scenes this show does have look well done. Only one of the girls isn't kawaii imo and thats the elf girl.

Peter Grill to Kenja no Jikan (2020)

Mitchie Peregrym the only redeemable and truly loveable character of the show.

That is a bold statement considering how many girls are in this and how much I personally love elven girls. The main reason is, of course, this is an ecchi show so the strongest man thing never really mattered. What really didn't matter was the random fighting monsters and such scenes since they had so little to do with the story it was ridiculous. Moreover, he is in love (the MC) with a girl who knows so little about reproduction that it is insane. He has a ... full-blown harem which is great but the story is not there. It tries to involve a story but it isn't really required. It is literally 12 minutes ecchi each time.

The art is fairly standard and nothing special. It pushes more towards the hentai side of the level and also the uncensored version is hardly worth watching since it is not particularly detailed.

The OP and ED are pretty chilled but almost feel somewhat 2000's. Generally, SFX is non-existant to a decent level. Girls moaning and such is pretty spot-on, however.

Characters don't need to develop outside of all wanting his seed and him being knowledgable on intercourse and the girl he likes taking the role of the idiot. Like does she have no friends that could correct her delusions?

The show itself is enjoyable as an ecchi only show with no real story that matters. In that regard, it is a good enough watch. It is however pushed out as having a story that it wants to matter which drops the score because it is so patchy and pointless it doesn't really matter.

It hints at a second season but I don't know if it will get one to be honest.

4/10

I think most people who watch this are missing a trick. Sure it's not a masterpiece, the production quality isn't fantastic and the story is sometimes episodic in nature. However, viewers should really read the label before they buy - this anime is *supposed* to be a tongue-in-cheek romp of ecchiness. It supposed to by laugh-out-loud comedy all the while leaving you grinning in it's absurdity.

It's a glorified sexy light series intended to be easily consumed. But here's the thing when you compare this to a number of other similar titles, the plot actually lines up.. it makes sense and events connect. The character actions ... are logical even with their nutty motives. Heck even the mental impact on the mc of the absurdity of it all is addressed at one point.

Also the series does pose the interesting question about what would happen if a harem actaully got what it wanted (ironically this being something a lot of harem fans complain doesn't happen in general). It highlights in no uncertain terms that a harem is a selfish and brutally competitive place where you've got to be ‘in it to win it’. Is it a bit silly? Yes, but harems are. It does however let viewers consider other series harems and how they might equally play out.

Final call out Hiro Shimono though for doing some nice VA work on Peter Grill!

This is a modern classic tale of the struggles of one man trying to be with the love of his life and all of the people that are trying to interrupt and disrupt him. One might even call this the modern Romeo and juliet. 10/10. Don't just watch the first episode watch at least the first 3 to 5.

Although some people might say it's distasteful or something along those lines they have to look at the deeper meaning behind the anime to truly appreciate this modern classic.

Through trials and tribulations Peter STANDS TALL pun intended, and continues to strive forward for the love of ... his life, ive watched every episode so far and I can't wait for the stunning conclusion to this story.

I also find this story fascinating by being brave enough to fight societal norms and showcase that it is possible for men to be abused and not only the other way around.

P.S Elf VA sounds like Nero from fate UMU (however its not her :( )

The initial premise of Peter Grill does lend it comparison to last year's raunchy yet classy Ishuuzoku Reviewers, however these two can't be further apart from each other. Peter Grill is a reverse NTR anime with tons of foreplay but no actual sex with our poor protagonist Peter Grill being the plaything to other monster girls.

For what its worth it's a pretty fun show even if the content can be pretty lacking. The comedy generally works well for the most part and each of Peter's tormentors are given enough characterization to differentiate themselves from one another so things are kept relatively fresh. I said earlier ... when it comes to ecchi content, most of the show feels like foreplay than anything, and I meant it. The show does feel lacking at the end of the day mainly due to a lack of satisfying resolutions to their setups. Even the conclusion to the show is a cliffhanger for future content that as of this writing is still unconfirmed as to whether the show will be renewed for a continuation.

One thing that stood out for me especially was the audio mixing. Everything was poorly mixed to the point of dialogue sounding muffled most of the time. Background audio would often drown out voices and such making it difficult to parse spoken dialogue at times. At least the ED is surprisingly good for a show of this caliber and subject matter.

Peter Grill is a fine show, but the cheapness of it do hamper the presentation at times. Peter's plight is very enjoyable to behold though I do wish the show received more budget and attention to flesh it out further.

6/10

Just Nope, the protagonist is the kind of person I hate the most, he is just bullshit, he cheats on the one girl he supposedly loves constantly and cries about why he deserves it. In my eyes a Person I would Instakill GG for that. I really couldn´t enjoy the ecchi stuff (besides the fact all characters have no genitals so why is there a censored version o.o) because I hate this Protagonist so damn much, hope he get killed in Season 2. Just make it a normal Harem plot ok, it would be a million times better, but this meh ! The Story plot ... at own is a funny thing and the character design is really good and its a nice fantasyworld , the Ladys are just uff ^^ ! But in over 370 Animes the first I really hope there is no continuation !! Spartacus is my Man in this Anime, Spartacus for Protagonist !

Indecisive MCs are not unique in Animes. In fact that is the norm, especially when making a harem anime. But among the ocean of spineless, indecisive MCs of the anime world, this guy comes among the very top. See if the MC is not OP and have confidence issues, which is also the norm, then his character was set. But for the apparently "Strongest Human of the World", this MC has no ego, no pride, no confidence not even arrogance. It is practically impossible for a person like that to become the "Strongest" without at least one of the above. This level of cheap character ... building (None actually) is only reserved for Hentais, which brings me to my actual view on the anime.

Calling this garbage an anime itself is complete blasphemy. At the same time, this is neither a Hentai. You see, even though Hentai is a type of Anime, there is a fine line between them. An Anime has a deeper plot in it (There is much more, but this is enough for comparison right now), while even though a Hentai has a plot it is just enough to get to the fun parts. And this garbage fails in both departments. It has neither plot, nor it has those fun parts that would make it a Hentai. Seriously, they could have made it into a Hentai and dodged this criticism. But they tried to skirt the line and to make it an anime and failed miserably at being either.

Damn.

I came into this wanting to like it. Like, ecchi is MY THING (not like exclusively my thing but I like it alot my thing). But I came away from this feeling quite... ambivalent. Sad cus I personally felt like this story/anime had a lot of potential.

Story: 5
This is like even on my scaled up rating for story since usually ecchi animes dont have much story to begin with (in other words, its pretty bad even by my ecchi standards). The main gist of it is: man wins competition. Bunch of women wanna fuck him. Now, that in and of itself isn’t bad ... at all. In fact, i’ve scored similar anime much higher than 5 for having a similar story. The main reason why I scored it so low is for these fuken NTR vibes. Like, this story had some great art, good character designs, and a perfect set up for some good ecchi action. But the NTR. Bruh. That killed the anime for me. Even someone who generally enjoys ecchi for ecchi, I found myself asking myself, “why am I watching this if I’m so repulsed by the NTR?” I don’t know either. Maybe because I wanted to like it, but evidently, I did not. Sad.

Art: 8
I mean, what do you expect. Each episode is roughly 12 minutes long, its a new anime that takes advantage of all the technological new art advances that come with new anime. Art is good, the style fits the story and genre. It would be a shock if the art was actually really bad. I scored it an 8, knocked it down from a 9 because its very good, but nothing special.

Sound: 9
Now I didn’t expect to like the sound this much, but I did. Almost standing directly in contrast to the story, I actually enjoyed both the OP and the ED, and thats saying a lot for someone who usually skips that to jump right into the ecchi action. But other than that, the VAs are good, nothings out of place. Its not a 10 since it didnt blow me away, but its at least a 9 for having some OP/ED that I liked.

Character: 4
Just a couple of thoughts before the whole analysis spiel.
1. Lisa Alpacas is so hot. She isn’t like waifu material but like “I smash tf outta her if she let me” material.
2. Why do animes use anglicized names like “peter” for their characters? It throws me off so much. Its so weird to see an anime character go “peter-kun” or “Raul-san” lol. But thats just me. Onwards...

The Characters in this story are all flat, no real character development for the MC or the Harem. But eh, its fine, the focus of the anime is the ecchi, so I’m not going to knock it that much. But it did detract from the overall enjoyment of it, so I cant rate this too high either. The MC, despite being strong AF is an idiot and can’t think logically or help himself. The MC’s fiancee is so brain dead the MC could cheat while she watches and she still wouldnt understand whats going on. Flat. Bad. Moving on.

Enjoyment: 5
I really wanted to enjoy this. I mean theres so little ecchi anime coming out these days, especially like those from the past (i’m talkin full frontal uncensored nips anime like HSDXD or Freezing or Sekirei etc. etc.). But this anime really didnt do it for me. It wasn’t fun to watch and half the time I was so fucken worried that the MC was gonna get caught by his fiancee for smashing other chicks. Like bruh. I dont wanna have to worry about the MC when I’m trying to enjoy some mindless ecchi. Really turned me off.

Overall: 6
Overall, this anime had alot of decent elements, and alot of potential to be a good (not great) ecchi anime. But the fuckin NTR is such a turn off. Like if you dont care about that, and you like ecchi, great, you’ll love this. But for me, this was simply unenjoyable. I cant give this anime anything higher than a 6. Breaking it down, id say 2 for sound, 3 for ecchi and 2 for the art, but -1 for NTR. Like damn. So much potential just wasted.

Peace.

Peter Grill wins the strongest warrior tournament and when he thinks his dreams will come true, of marrying his long-term girlfriend who he has only ever held hands in 2 years. ...
As the tournament ends, with his victory, slowly the supposedly strongest warrior in the world is pushed into repetitive sexual activity with ogres, elf, and orc alike as different species come looking for a way to strengthen their genetics. After the first time, it becomes a case of blackmail if he stops, and then turns up even if on a date with his girlfriend for sex.
For the strongest warrior in the world, he could overpower them stop them, even break off with a girlfriend and enjoy the carnality of it. But he seems to just go along with it.
So you're not watching this for the story, the high point is for the fan service, which is its only quality really. As an idea of a story it's interesting, and how selective someone would be or if look for a genetically similar partner, but this is never developed from an MC point of view. As a series, if you're looking for something special, look elsewhere.

the anime is actually funny to watch. the story at end is not the important part, even if there is a plot even if mediocre. musics are not bad, the ending is amazing.

the character designs are nice, something new and eye cathing (for me). obviously they are not build with deep backstory or anything, i mean the anime is about the MC falling for the lust, i don't see why there should be a big plot behind it. everyone that is expecting something, just change anime. this is not an anime for everyone.

if you like boobs on the level of high school dxd then ... this anime is for you.


i give it 8/10 cause we all know why we are watching it. it's funny, there are boobs and is not heavy to watch. i don't know what those that say "the plot is bad" were expecting from it. go back watch your shounen.



i don't know why it has so many 1/10. i mean, if the type of anime is not for you, don't watch it. it's like someone that hates sliece of life voting 1 on a slice of life because he doesn't like slice of life. what is the sense?

I remember watching the first episode a while back when it first came out. I enjoyed how the anime true out to be a story of how Peter would have to deal with a harem of women in his life. All while still trying to keep things together with his fiancé.

After a few episodes I felt like the story was too much to the point where I felt bad towards his fiancé. I know that it's the main story and Peter does regret what he is doing, yet it still doesn't sit well since she is oblivious of what is going. The story doesn't really ... branch to far from each episode, and it seems almost a copy paste and added something a bit different to each episode.

The characters are pretty well drawn especially for the ecchi scenes. Although the art is well done, the development of each varies and I only really liked the side character Spartacus and Luvellia. Other than that each have characteristics I disliked.

Honestly I feel like this would have been better off as a dating sim game with how many different girls there are. Even though I am a man of culture, I still would have liked a balance for the anime.

Having finished this series, I ended up giving it a 6. Some people might think this is an absurdly high score, and some people might agree with me. This is all just based on my personal opinions and enjoyment of the series.

Story - 4

The story of Peter Grill is not a great one, nor is it the worst I've seen in fiction. It's VERY simple, and driven forward by fanservice and ecchi elements. That's really it. Nothing big in the terms of worldbuilding, other than being a standard adventure world with guilds, monsters, adventurers, and so on. It's an exceedingly simple story to get the ... grasp on, and there's never any confusion as to what's going on in the story. There is however a preview for the story going forward at the end of ep. 12 which intrigued me, and looks like it will add interesting elements and background information to the story.

Art - 6

The art is nothing spectacular, but not bad by any means. I personally liked it, and the character designs were pretty good and consistent imo. Do not go into this series expecting great, dynamic animation, or fight choreographies, despite being about the world's strongest fighter.
Talking about character designs, I really enjoyed it. Peter Grill himself is uniquely enough drawn, so that he doesn't blend into the crowd, but still paints him as "just a man". The 4 main girls are, if a bit generic, very cute, and their designs are in large part very fitting for the show's ecchi nature. Some more unique designs do occur (f.ex Spartokos, and some monsters here and there).
The comedic elements in the animation is also pretty well executed. I found myself laughing at various facial expressions, art style changes, and so on, regularly through the show.

Sound - 6

The soundtrack is nothing special, but it has its moments. In some instances, there's some actually cool, driving music, and for the most part, it sounds really KonoSuba-inspired, which is not a bad thing at all. There was never an outright bad moment in the soundtrack, and it fit well with show. The OP is also pretty cool.

For the voice acting, the point that I see a lot of people ripping on, I honestly didn't think it was that bad. It's certainly not the best performance any of the actors/actresses involved have given, but I honestly can't say it was bad. There were moments I genuinely thought it was very good, especially seeing as this is a comedy, not some deep drama. The voices fit their characters well, and I do not understand why the actors get so much shit for it.

Characters - 5

Nothing special to say about them. Any of them. At all. They're all pretty one-dimensional, and almost devoid of any development throughout. The character dynamics can be pretty entertaining at times though, and I didn't really dislike any of the characters in the sense that I thought they were written outright badly. They all have their own little quirks, backstories (to an extent), and their own reasons for constantly harassing this poor man for his sperm.
However, one HUGE flaw in this story, character-wise, is that I never for a second cared about Luvelia. We almost never see her, and when we do, she is the epitome of a generic, innocent side character, oblivious to the point of almost being annoying. We don't really get to know her much as a character, and at certain points, I would forget that she existed at all, until Peter mentioned her name in his many instances of post-nut clarity.

Enjoyment - 6

I Honestly enjoyed this show. It's mindless garbage, and easy to watch. At least it was for me. The comedy sometimes hits, and sometimes it misses. The concept is absurd enough in itself to warrant at least some type of entertainment, and the girls are cute as hecc. It also helps that the episodes are short, and there's not that many of them. You can easily watch the entire season in a couple of hours.

Overall - 6

If you're a fan of ecchi/harem-type shows, I think you'll be able to get through this one just fine. It's nothing outstanding in any aspect, but it never tries to be either. It's a reasonably fun watch, and while I do agree with some of the criticism it's getting, I honestly think people are too harsh on it. That's just my opinion anyway.

The least hentai hentai that is somehow not a hentai...

I can't overstate how stale everything is. They're two girls that are literally CTRL+C/CTRL+V and a main character that spends more time banging ("banging" meaning a hard cut from before-and-after) other gals than talking to the his true love who's as interesting as a grain on sand on a beach.

Note: The episodes are half length (12m) so burning through the series isn't too much of a time commitment. I recommend this to people that are "ecchi casuals" and don't mind killing some more brain cells and sex drive.

That being said, the ED is a banger. ...

2/10

Peter Grill and the philosopher's time is NOT your typical ecchi anime. It is straight-up softcore hentai. I saw the fully uncensored version myself. And I saw it as hentai, not an anime. Therefore I seemed to enjoy it more than other people. Let me be clear, If you consider this an anime this is probably one of the worst ever made BUT the way the show was written and animated to me it was just short of pure hentai. Some of you may disagree with me and that's ok. And for those people, I also want to say to them for me it was ... " the show is trash and I love it" kinda thing.

What is better than a hentai? The answer is an isekai hentai. Peter grill is the strongest creature on the entire planet and females from different species want his jizz. This is probably the only way you can justify having a harem. You have Orcs to Elfs. I loved the character designs and animation. The story kinda makes sense if you watch it as a hentai rather than anime. The orc sisters were the best thing.
(If you can try to watch the uncensored version)

Now a few things I did not like about this anime was the anime did not show the fight scene. I wish they would have taken time to give the character some character progression (even though it is unrealistic to expect something like this from a show which is practically a hentai). I also wish they would actually animate the sex scenes like how they do it in Hollywood movies (just their upper body with movement). And peter cheating on Luvelia was a turn off for me.
