Megami no Café Terrace

After his grandmother Sachiko passes away, Hayato Kasukabe returns from Tokyo and inherits her cafe—Familia Café Terrace. He aims to demolish the cafe and convert it into a parking lot, only to discover that his grandmother had taken in five girls prior to her death.

The girls—Ouka Makuzawa, Akane Hououji, Riho Tsukishima, Shiragiku Ono, and Ami Tsuruga—evidently shared a deep bond with Sachiko, and they naturally refuse to give up the place they call home. They convince Hayato to change his mind, albeit reluctantly. Through this encounter, Hayato eventually remembers his past with his grandmother as well as his love for the cafe.

Now resolved to carry on his grandmother's legacy, Hayato enlists the girls to act as the "goddesses" that will ensure the preservation of this precious abode.

Mixed Feelings

My experience with The Café Terrace and Its Goddesses was very strange. I expected a lot from the fan service. I expected very little from the story. Ironically, everything was the opposite.

In terms of ecchi, it is an anime, for experts in the genre, without much merit. Of course, the girls are cute, but nothing remarkable. Average ecchi level, leaning towards low. The strange thing is that, even though these girls don't show much skin, the animation quality makes them look gorgeous. Wow! These girls are beautiful! And the fan service scenes are well-received.

In terms of story, while it is not a new work by ... Shakespeare, it is above an average ecchi-harem comedy anime of recent years (for example, Renai Flops, or Immoral Guild). What makes it enjoyable is the past of each girl. Understanding why each one acts, thinks, and feels that way.

It is something quite pleasant. There is not a single girl who does not have an interesting past and that challenges the protagonist in some way.

Of course, it is nothing out of this world, but if you decide to watch this anime, and you like simple anime. You will like this story.

Finally, I like the protagonist. He is not a fool or insecure. He is a respectful guy, but when he gets the opportunity, even though he is not a shameless person, he is not afraid to show his desire for the girls. More protagonists like this!

In conclusion, The Café Terrace and Its Goddesses, is one of those average animes, that by whims of the industry have great success (the second season has already been announced when there are a thousand better animes that will never have one). It will not bore you, but it does not leave you with anything relevant.

THE GOOD. Good development of the female characters with a great focus on their past.

THE BAD. The fan service had potential and never explodes.

THE WORST. That there is no uncensored version

You don’t need to watch this and I would honestly recommend you don’t. If you’ve seen any harem show at all, you’ve seen this; hell, you’ll be able to predict beat-by-beat where it goes. The only “edge” I would give this show is its adult cast. Everything else about it is bland.

This is Seo Kouji, the mangaka, at his worst. His first hit, Suzuka, touched on relevant topics that few mangaka dare touch on—I appreciated it. His next hit, A Town Where You Live, was a slogging melodrama that nonetheless hit the right notes at the right time to keep audiences engaged. His third hit, ... Fuuka, was… controversial but ultimately brave.

In contrast, this work is so by-the-numbers that I can only assume he wanted to produce a hit big enough that he could retire. Five women work at the café that our MC inherited. They all have a vested interest in seeing the café succeed and the women, like bowling pins, fall over as he helps them solve their longstanding childhood traumas that inevitably involve a terrible parent.

Theres romance but don’t expect it to move very far in twelve episodes. There’s “comedy” but it’s really just that each character has the same joke repeated for infinity (did anyone ever laugh?).
