Akane-iro ni Somaru Saka is a Romantic, Comedy like any other. That’s pretty much all there is to describe this mediocre anime series and if that doesn’t satisfy your information needs then by all means continue with this review.
“Seen it, been there, done that…” Those are the thoughts that came to mind whilst I watched the first episode. It starts of ordinary enough when some posh girl (Yuuhi) is helped out by some guy (Junichi), who’s pretty well-known for some stupid rumour. Well at the beginning of the new school semester it comes to no surprise that said girl transfers to Junichi’s school and thus

WARNING: THIS CONTAINS MY OPINION AND A SPOILER!
This anime might be the most boring anime I've seen. And the worst ending I've seen. From episode 1-9, it was decent. nothing really happened, and I was sure this anime wasn't going to be anything special. At episode 10 I changed my mind from: "meh nothing special" to: "wow! this might actually be a good anime after all". I thought that it might have a good ending after all, but turns out I was wrong. After watching episode 11, I was sure there was no way out of this mess. There was no way this could have ... Jul 8, 2024
Even though it's a decent anime, I wouldn't recommend it.
Let's understand why... As I said, the anime it's decent, the characters development, the animation, the daily life story are decent. But, the turn of events just ruined everything. You know when something it's building towards something and out of nowhere just, change everything and leaves you with a poker face. The anime itself it's enjoyable, even more if you read this review first and don't expect anything from the anime. If you want to watch, keep that in mind. But if you don't, you didn't lost much. I don't recommend. Dec 23, 2011
Adaptations of harem based eroge have increased in frequency lately, Akane-iro ni Somaru Saka (hereby referred to as "Akasaka") is an example of one that has possibly been butchered due to some factors (using the seiyuu from the PS2 adaptations, the ending). Directed by Keitarou Motonaga, notorious for directing other harem anime (School Days, Onii-chan no Koto) and Katanagatari (a big surprise) Akasaka proves that it is a product of many trite, anime/eroge cliches that were mixed in a blender of sorts with hints of fanservice added as some sort of seasoning. Ah yes, the eroge itself was produced by feng around 1 year before

it was a decent anime until minato ruined it. the fact that he chose his sister is stupid. he didnt do anything wrong and yet he was in the wrong. the ending is so disappointing i cant believe that i spent hours of my summer vacation watching this absolute garbage. watching this was like watching a series and you wait months for the ending and it being a rick roll. for those who are considering watching this anime i wont tell you not to. this is honestly the worst anime i have ever seen watching this anime was lethal wait no atrocious

When I found this anime, at first I thought " great drawings, looks cute, I should watch this". And you know what? It didn't worth it, totally waste of time.
I can't believe I've wasted 4 hour for this. When I watched the last episode, I was like " So... it's over? that was all?". Nothing is explained at the end and there is no creativity. Just the cliche things you can see almost in every romance anime. the boy and the girl meet at the street, the boy helps her, the she transfers to his class, they can't get along, and as always, a close friend ...

I finished this anime a few weeks ago. In all honesty, I believe this is not a bad anime. But is not good as well. Its more on the line of confusing more than all things. There are small things I liked about it. Mainly fanservice and what they did that almost made me very satisfied that I watched it. It reminds me of Oreimo. "It had a lot of potential but didn't go where it needed to be." I will always remember this anime for how confusing it is. I believe its not all about is it good of bad cause all anime no

This series is incredibly hard to interpret.
Story: to start, the basic story is Junichi engaged to Yuuhi Katagiri, but Yuuhi refuses to acknowledge the engagement that her father has arranged and so she stays with Junichi before finalizing a decision...unfortunately, before moving in, she didn't have quite the pleasant experience meeting him...The first episode already was bland and it didn't really get interesting until we saw Junichi's sister, Minato, implicitly become Yuuhi's rival in Junichi's love. That is where it got interesting...so there was a hint of incest relationship, which was a start for this series, but was eventually poorly executed. Things are ... Dec 21, 2012
Okay so it will be my first review. Why Akane-iro ni Somaru Saka? I started watch it three months ago, but i stopped, cuz it really annoyed me. Now i have tried again and i was thinking to myself " why i actually dropped this?" Now i remember. It's not like i don't like harem and simple plot. I like it = anime must enjoy. But srsly... don't waste your time on it. I watched it and i still don't know where the story is? Of course it has a lot of funny moments, but it's a little.. caricatural sense of humour.
The art? I ... Mar 24, 2017
When i started to watch it, it was ok and somehow enjoyable but after 6th episode it became totally dreadful
First i thought about drop it but than i thought maybe it's gonna be different in next but it was totally a piece of crap I mean what the hell was the waiter thinking so he wrote this shit, it's not any romantic but the one of the worst anime ever i watched The story was awful and somehow i made me remember lots of more anime which have almost the same story So i don't think, it's something that I'm gonna watch again in my life, not even ...

"I'm sorry Japan but you've gone one step too far this is it I'm doing it." -President Harry S. Truman in 1945 after hearing Japan had released Akaneiro.
Akaneiro ni Somaru Saka, or Akane as it shall hence be known, is everything that is wrong with anime. A bland and boring cast and plot, combined with a stupid ending makes for a show that will either make you wish you had yor time back, or that you could remove the rest of your remaining time and end it all. So let's dive into this dumpsterfire of a show. Story- 3 Spoilers inbound. So our main character Junichi meets this ... Jun 3, 2022
[b]Akane-iro ni Somaru Saka was a huge disappointment for me.[/b]
I expected more fan-service than the show provided. I literally fell asleep watching episode #4. There isn't much to say, this anime is just a generic slice-of-life that fails to stand out as unique or entertaining in any meaningful way. [b]I wouldn't personally recommend this anime to anyone.[/b] ... Apr 25, 2021
Spoilers below:
This might be the worst anime I've ever seen. It's either this or Yosuga No Sora, but at least that had a plot that somewhat made sense. There's so much bullshit going on yet hardly any of it ever gets explained. The main issue I have with this show is that I feel like it's constantly hinting at some big plot twist or revelation that completely changes the plot, but that moment just never really comes. So the main guy's father is like some secret agent guy who saved this rich guy who then tried to force his daughter to marry the main guy. Apart ... |
