Koi Koi 7

The premise seemed promising enough. After all, what is there not to love about a team of cyborg girls who fight against the mean bitches and save the clumsy boy they're all pining for? Short answer: A lot. Though this anime had so much potential sitting right in front of it like an open cookie jar, it decides to dig its hand into the open jar of live scorpions sitting right next to the cookies and kill itself as it digs deeper. Koi Koi 7 does so much wrong in so many ways that it's hard to recount every error made. Oh wait, no it ... isn't.

One of the first things you'll notice about this anime is the lack of real characterization. Seriously, the most memorable character was the main boy character, and that's only because he was the only male around. The girls in the actual Koi Koi 7 team are as forgettable as they come. You have the gun-loving tomboy, the Power Ranger ripoff fan who may also be a tomboy, the emotionless robot, an airheaded loving girl, and I don't remember the other ones' deals. That's about as far as their personalities go. Even when the anime tries to flesh these characters out in 2edgy flashbacks, it quickly forgets what it was talking about and returns to its main reason of existence: fanservice, rendering the flashbacks and any characterization null and void.

Oh, did I forget to mention how much fanservice there is? There's a ton. So much so that it disrupts any kind of serious atmosphere the anime tried to create. Which reminds me, the tone the show tries to have is all over the place like a bi-polar child with ADHD. In one moment there's a serious fight scene with a 2edgy character that uses some kind of shocking device (I barely remember) to attack our heroes. While the fight is supposed to be taken seriously, it cuts to show that this shocking device also causes all girls in the surrounding area to moan as if they're all having an orgasm (by the way, they're all also dressed in maid outfits).

The story of this anime goes absolutely nowhere. It starts off as some typical low-class versus high-class student war, then becomes a harem, then becomes a tragic love disaster involving some character we learn little about, then becomes nothing, then becomes a big battle, and then becomes nothing again. The ending makes absolutely no sense and leaves you wondering if anything was resolved at all.

So, if some "asshole" who doesn't like anime tries to prove to you that it's nothing more than tentacles and schoolgirls, don't show them this anime to prove them wrong, because it will do just the opposite. Never have I seen an anime that fits the stereotypical anime bill so well as Koi Koi 7, with half-naked women and pointless romance right around the corner. The only reason I continued to watch it was due to how much fun I had laughing at how horrible it truly was.

The thing about this anime is that nothing is cohesive about it's story, the characters range from super annoying to bearly tolerable, and the art is just average at best. I say that yet i still have fond memories of this anime due to that damn opening theme song. I will forever love that theme.

Anybody looking for a great anime of it's era this won't be it. In fact this might have been a low point from this era of anime. I would say watch this anime if you're drunk and just feel like making fun of something. Otherwise you just won't want to ... watch it.

This is one the worst anime I have ever seen, and it took several bottles of vodka for me and the boys to get through this show. The plot is constantly derailing and for the pacing, well... ...there is none. I can't even begin to talk about the story as it is very hard to keep track of. The BGM is at best, is akin to sky blue wallpaper and at worst, doesn't fit theme or tone at all. The animation is laughable and has aged like a fine wine, in which it has turned into vinegar. With that being said, this show isn't ... for the faint of heart, I recommend to watch this while intoxicated and grab your friends to laugh at it.
