Eiken: Eikenbu yori Ai wo Komete

Are YOU looking for the best anime mankind has ever come up with? Well, look no further, because there it is; Eiken is everything you've ever wished for crammed in two episodes of absolute wonder. A true jewel, a rare find in the Japanese entertainment industry. The Holy Grail of anime, if you will.

The story is unlike any other. It left me breathless; the plot twists and cliffhangers left me craving more. The panty shots... The yoghurt slide... Just thinking about them, I can feel my heart rate increasing. This amazing story is only made better by the characters; Such complex personalities and designs, ... such creativity! I can almost remember what they looked like, two months after watching! What can I say about the voice acting? It's simple; Even Miyano Mamoru would be ashamed of his work if he were to watch Eiken. The abilities of one-hit-wonder Oshiro Miwa will be worshipped for decades to come.

This was my first review, it's really short but I'm kinda running out of adjectives to describe this legendary anime as well as its diverse and unforgettable cast. Still too long for you? Here's a 2 word TL;DR:

WATCH. EIKEN.

This anime was highly recommended to me by a friend, and i thought (as a hentai) i should watch this. i mean what can possibly be better then a school named boob academy? I drooled over big hentai boobs, but you know what i got? god damn overfatly drawn boobs. yeah the boobs are big alright,but the problem is that the drawings are unportioned overall just looks like a big ball of fat.

As for the story, it is unexplained and just unnecessary for this anime. there really isnt more story to it than you are introduced to at the beginning. The story is really just ... taken from a crappy eroge.

This anime really is just a big ball of ecchi humor. you cant really expect anything but dramatic ecchi scenes. but i have too hand it too them, that they provided me with damn good ecchi scenes.

it became a very short review, but there really isnt more to Eiken than this.

Simply put- this is a classic. Never before have I seen an anime so masterfully utilize animation to tell a deep and moving story. I was moved to tears on multiple occasions watching this, words can not express what a work of art this is. The character designs are so innovative and refreshing, and the voice acting is superb. Perfect casting with an amazing script make this a 10/10 experience. The symbolism, especially in the food imagery, is so subtle yet powerful. The physics is also groundbreaking. Never before have I seen an anime portray anatomy so true to life. The scenarios are so unique ... and the humor is balanced perfectly with the more solemn scenes. I can only pray that they make more of this delightful series, it is a joy and a masterpiece.

I'll be honest and say that the anime sucked. It wasn't bad, it was horrible. They stripped the barest minimum of a plot line from volume three of the manga for the OVA, had no character devolopment at all, and overplayed the so called fanservice to the point that it's all that's there. Any enjoyment you could have watching it will make you want to wash off your shame afterwards.

The manga on the other hand is a good read. Most chapters are stand alone but tells a story as it goes on. The only reason you'll notice the over size boobs is because they keep ... mentioning them and if not for that the manga would just be a unwanted harlem story. The characterization is also well done, even if requires you to look past mountains of flesh to the girl underneith. I've even gotten girls to admit they like the manga despite the sizes depicted.

Finishing up, the anime should be avoided, but the manga is worth a look if you can look past cup sizes bigger then your head.

WOW WHERE DO I BEGIN!?

If I could give this series a 0, I would....but 1 is as low as I can go so it will have to do.

The story is so overplayed and unoriginal, how many animes are gonna be made like this?

The art is annoying, I understand the genre it portrays but cmon guys.....that is ridiculous. The girls breasts are just...too...big. I thought I could deal with it, but then the loli character walked out with boobs that are equally as large and robust as the older characters and I just couldn't take it....

Characters....should I even bother....no

Enjoyment...*laugh* you know I can't even lie ... here, I DID NOT enjoy this anime, but I did enjoy making fun of it and laughing at its tremendous level of FAIL all the way through.

Overall I'm ashamed I had to add this anime into my list. I think this was my least favorite anime ever........EVER!

There is not much to say about the story, co'z it's only compose of 2 episodes. I guess there isn't much that the author of the anime can do, well, I can only speculate that he's not so sure so he just limited to just that. However, if the story is what you might say just the usual boy meets girl scenario, it could have been done much better if the author has put a lot of thought into it.



BUT MAN, THE BOOBS, THE BOOOOBS ARE GREAT!!!!!!!
AND MAN,THIS IS WHERE I WISH I WAS Hugh Hefner, the old man sleep with a lot of ... women.

What the hell was this?

I came across Eiken when I was hanging out with a friend and we were pretty bored so we ended up checking out this OVA series known as Eiken. Welcome to Eiken ladies and gents, an attempt at comedic ecchi gone so badly wrong, it's almost a tragedy.

Eiken is basically a 2 episode OVA series based off the manga of the same name. It follows the escapades of a school club known as the Eiken club.

What is the story of Eiken? Well I'm sorry but with a gun to my head I wouldn't be ... able to describe the story of this abomination. Like any cohesive plot structure is completely avoided and it's so sad to see any potential to to waste.

The same with the characters who are for lack of a better word a joke. Some anime series have fan service but this anime is defined by fanservice. EVERY FREAKING CHANCE THEY GET THEY SNEAK IN A PANTY SHOT OR A BIG BREASTED WOMAN EATING A PHALLIC LOOKING OBJECT. Like what the hell???? Putting gigantic tits on sixth graders isn't exactly a great plot idea. Neither is blatantly making sexual references every chance they get.

The only positives I can think of is the art looks kind of nice but reused animation is abused constantly. And average voice acting.

In conclusion the only reason you should be watching eiken is For shits and giggles with your friend which is where at the end of the day any enjoyment comes from. So if you want good ecchi skip this one.

Out of all of the anime's I've ever seen, Eiken probably takes the spot in
the top 10 worst anime's I've ever seen. The show only runs for about two
episodes, but I'm not sure if it's because the creator's planned it that way,
or simply because it sucked.

The story is poor because I'm not even sure
what's going on half of the time. The art and sound I guess is good, but
that's like the only decent part about it. The character development is mediocre at best. The main character is bland, boring and not all that interesting and all the other girls ... don't have anything special about, literally there's nothing special or unique about any of the girls considering that most of them have boobs the size cannon balls.

Now me personally don't mind fanservice that much, in fact I downright enjoy the fanservice of a show with a passion, but this show takes it too far. They literally give a girl in the 6th grade, that looks no older than my eleven year old sister boobs the size of freaking Hitomi Tanaka (For those who don't know who Hitomi Tanaka is, she is a Japanese pornstar with size 34 J natural breasts). Basically, the only thing this show is successful at is getting the male viewers somewhat excited. Hope this review was helpful.

I'll keep this review short.
If you haven't watched Eiken, what are you even doing with your life?

Quality: 1/10
Enjoyment: 2/10
Experience: 10/10




...
[Some extra text because the review was TOO short apparently, but I wanted to keep the essence of the short review intact. This is very interesting to write, and obviously to read as well. How is your day going? Mine is quite shaky as I just finished watching Eiken. Have you heard of that show? It's an experience I'll say. Fun fact: I found it easier (WAY easier) to get through than Eromanga Sensei. For some reason this review is STILL TOO SHORT. Fuck my life]

I finally did it. I finally fucking did it. I found my new worst anime. That's right, worse than Anoahana. Worse than Toradora. Worse than Sword For Truth & Dark Cat. Worse than even Green Green & CONCEPTION. Yes you heard me right, WORSE than Conception. How is that possible? I'll fucking tell you right now.

Story: 1/10

So the "story" of this piece of shit is supposed to be a series of game event shows. But that doesn't become apparent until half-way through the first episode. The first half of the first episode is almost nothing but filler with terrible structuring. We start off with blank-slate ... male MC number 1 grabbing stupidly large breasts because this is an ecchi series, & it wouldn't be a stupid ecchi series without a boob grab now wouldn't it? Then we waste time in one location for like 3 or 4 minutes until we then cut to where the guy lives I guess. A bit of cooking later with a terrible eating scene full of bad loop jobs later & we get to some absolutely trite scene about BSMC#1's little sister character making a fuss about him not paying as much attention to her as much as he does red-haired girl with the gigantic boobs. The reason this is trite is because this scene does absolutely nothing to develop either character & serves as nothing but padding for a runtime because the creators of this anime were so bad they couldn't even create a rush-job properly. Once the story actually gets to what it's about (the game-show-esque things) it dissolves into nothing but the gameshow & the characters partaking in disgusting activities. There's also some rival character that shows up, but he's complete underwritten trite that barely does anything to affect the plot. The series also tries really hard to be a hentai, but either the creators didn't have the money, were too fucking incompetent, or too fucking stupid

Characters:1/10

The characters in this show are absolutely atrocious in every sense of the word, they're nothing but 1-dimensional stereotypes of every ecchi series out there in existence. These characters don't even have any good comedic dynamics to make up for the fact either, because this series has nothing unintentionally or intentionally funny in it

Art:1/10

Still frames, bad backgrounds, re-used shots, re-used animation, bad loop jobs, no faces, lack of details, the "animation" of this series has everything in it that leads to bad animation & art. I mentioned that the backgrounds were bad, that's because they are. They're simple, copy-paste, & blurry, so an unholy trinity of shit.

Sound:1/10

The series actually has a similar problem that Dark Cat has in its English Dub, an absolutely lacking sound design. There are moments in this anime where the sound is either non-existent, or so quiet that it may as well be muted because you can barely hear it. I will say thoughm this problem isn't as noticeable as it is in Dark Cat. The voice acting is atrocious but what do you expect? The VA's were a bunch of (at the time) no-name amateurs with absolutely no investment in the roles what-so-ever, but I can't really blame them, because putting effort into this would just be a waste of any talent they might've had back when they were amateurs.

Overall:1/10

What do I even say at this point? There is genuinely nothing positive you can say hear. If someone had a Gun pointed to my head & told me I had to say something positive about eiken or they would take my life, I'd have to take the bullet quite honestly, as I genuinely cannot say anything positive about this series remotely+. Anohana & Toradora at least had effort put into them (albeit not much), Dark Cat has Jukokubo, Sword For Truth is baffling, Green Green has unintentional laughs, & Conception is so horrendously awful you give up way before you even hit episode 3. But this, there's nothing here. It isn't good fap-bait because the character designs are hideous, there's no unintentional laughs to be had because the voice acting is well beyond the high point of when bad voice acting is entertaining & has long since stooped into negative Y-axis territory. The characters are underwritten trite, so you can't root for them, you won't even get tits in this anime because it was too pussy to go full out hentai. Really, I CANNOT say anything positive about this series because there's really nothing here. Even when you reach bottom of the barrel trying to find something, you can't because even the bottom of the barrel is too good for this atrocious piece of humanity that should've been cancelled the second someone even conceived the idea. Final score is to nobodies surprise a 1/10. Until something else comes along this is the worst anime of all time, how this shit is above Skelter + Heaven is beyond me, because at least Skelter + Heaven only wastes 19 minutes of your life you'll never get back.

EDIT: after somebody bought this to my attention, the 11 year old girl has the biggest breats out of all the girls in this series. Eiken is the asshole that keeps on shitting

This show was so bad that it almost makes me feel sorry for the other series I have rated as 1 because they have to share the rating with this steaming pile of fecal matter. Take the absolutely shitty quality of Mars of Destruction and Tenkuu Danzai Skelter Heaven and add all the generic harem tropes you can think of with a constant barrage of the most off-putting fanservice imaginable and you have Eiken. I'm a big fan of fanservice, even when it's over the top in shows like Bikini warriors, but the fanservice in Eiken is simply unpleasant to look at. Character designs are ... just plain awkward and bizarre and the quality of the animation is quite bad as well.

Story? Characters? What story and characters? The "story" of this show from what I can see is just a constant stream of poor-quality fanservice, incredibly overused harem jokes, and randomness of the unfunny variety. Our "characters" feature the infamous copy-pasted MC-kun and a harem of titty monsters that he's in a school club with or something. No real personalities to speak of.

Animation quality is poor and character designs are... off-putting. The soundtrack is just there. It doesn't really leave any impression whatsoever, which I suppose makes it the best aspect of one of the worst things I've ever watched.

Enjoyment: I was bored as hell and slightly disgusted/ashamed of myself for watching. And this is coming from someone who proudly, shamelessly loves his fanservice anime.

Scores:

Story: 1/10 (would rate 0 if possible)
Characters: 1/10 (would rate 0 if possible)
Art: 3/10
Sound: 4/10
Enjoyment: 1/10 (I'll let it keep the 1 point for impressing me with just how awful it could be)
Overall: 1/10 (would rate 0 if possible)

"Why did you even watch this? Or bother finishing it for that matter?" You may be asking if you're reading this review for some reason.

Well, I sometimes browse MAL for obscure, low-rated shows as a curiosity. And sometimes I'll find a legitimately entertaining show like Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan when I do that. I thought Eiken might be one such incredibly stupid show that was good for a laugh. I was wrong, it's that simple. Do I look down upon those who did actually enjoy this? No. Maybe some people see it as a "so bad it's good/funny" type of show, but I didn't. Do I actually outright hate this show? Contrary to my scathingly negative statements, I don't. I'm legitimately impressed that something could be this terrible. The bar has been rai-... err, lowered for what it truly takes to be the most awful thing I've watched.

Eiken is one of the most silliest, yet most appalling ecchi anime i`ve ever watched.

Story 1/10
Where the plot is? it`s located on boobs, why is it only 2 episodes? just make it 12 episodes for Issei`s Sake damn it!


Art 3/10
Generic boring character design, why all the boobs in this show is way bigger than heads?


... Sound 1/10
Boring, not memorable though.


Character 2/10
MC is such a loser, he is way worst than Makoto Itou, dumb as hell.
98% Girls of this show were so annoying, mostly dumb whores.
However, Kyoko Morooka is the most interesting character to me, she`s so cute, Flat is Justice and boobs is disgusting.

Enjoyment 3/10
Where`s the plot? hahahahahaha!
not enjoyable though.


Overall 1/10
This is million times worst than Mars of Destruction

Only shit eaters watch this terrible show.
If you want good ecchi anime with proper story and good plot, then try watching To Love Ru, Highschool of the Dead, Koihime Musou, or Golden Boy instead.

It's pretty rare that I stumble upon an anime where I ask myself "Why am I watching this?" mid-way through viewing. It's even rarer that I find myself asking "Why does this anime even exist?" mid-way through viewing. Eiken is an example of an anime that made me ask myself both questions.

Story - 1/10
The story is extremely generic - a boy named Densuke Mifune has been enrolled at an academy, and ends up groping the local popular girl, Chiharu. A series of events leads to him joining the "Eiken" club, and competing in a series of games to win the popular girl's ... heart. That's pretty much it.

Art - 1/10
The art, for the most part, is just extremely bland. I would go into further depth, but that would require me to re-watch Eiken, and I'm not doing that for obvious reasons.

Sound - 4/10
This was the only aspect that was actually passable - it wasn't forgettably bad, but it was forgettable. And the sound mixing is actually surprisingly good.

Character - 1/10
I would say that the show's cast of characters is extremely stereotypical, but that's insulting to stereotypes. Also...I don't really remember anything about the characters.

Enjoyment - 1/10
The only reason I watched this was because I'd heard how bad it was. And it turns out that everyone saying it's awful was right! The only thing preventing me from saying it's the worst anime I've ever seen is the fact that I've seen Master of Martial Hearts - which is even worse.

Overall: 1
This is one of 2 anime I can't think of a single reason for it's existence (the other being the aforementioned Master of Martial Hearts) - it's not like the manga this was technically adapted from was a smash hit or anything, so there wasn't really a demand. This is the type of anime that you would show to your worst enemy, and they would become your greatest friend just because you turn the TV/Computer playing it off. NO ONE should have to watch this.

Alternative recommendations: Anything on MAL that has the "Ecchi"/"Hentai" tag and a score higher than 6.50

So here I am on My Anime List and the first thing I decide to do is look back on this little nightmare.

This anime is hideous in almost every shape and form from its character designs to its desperate attempts at trying to arouse it audience.

Each episode made my eyes feel like they were cheap onaholes and I was kicking myself for letting my morbid curiosity get the best of me.

I have already did a full review on this beast awhile back so I wont say more.

To all those who dare enter this domain of tumor breasts flee before it is too late. ... Don't watch this!

Eiken is a true masterpiece, undoubtedly the pinnacle of artistic achievement in the anime world. Its unparalleled brilliance lies in the profound exploration of human relationships, showcased through tasteful and subtle storytelling. The carefully crafted characters, with their well-defined personalities and intricate arcs, elevate "Eiken" to a level of storytelling sophistication rarely seen in the annals of animation history. The groundbreaking use of fan service serves as a metaphor for the complex layers of the human experience, leaving audiences in awe of its unparalleled depth. Truly, "Eiken" reigns supreme as the best anime of all time, a triumph that will undoubtedly be remembered for generations ... to come.

This anime is a miracle. You will probably never come across anything this cliche, ridiculous, unoriginal, and just utterly fanserviced in your entire anime watching existence. It almost has to be seen to be believed.

In fact, I'd almost say I recommend it. I honestly think everyone needs to see this. It's the Sharknado of anime. With that being said, to say I hated it wouldn't exactly be true. It kept my attention for the entire series and even had me laughing quite a bit. It definitely falls into the "So Bad, It's Good" category.

I never write reviews but for this Masterpiece I couldn't help myself!!
I am looking forward for a second Season this is the greatest Anime I have ever seen in my entire life! The Story was well executed and overall outstanding same goes for sound and character design. The Art is realistic especially the properties of the charcters! My Overall Enjoyment can't be described in words I couldn't sleep for the next 10 weeks because of how deep this anime was!
Overall I would say its a good 10/10.
I watched this Anime with Friends and they all agree with my Point of View that this is ... a real Masterpiece

In this 2 episode series, Densuke Mifune is a high school student who stumbles upon the love of his life, Chiharu Shinomone, and by stumble, I mean they bumped into each other and the first thing he stumble was her enormous F-Cup (yes, F-Cup!) breasts and so, he is forced to join the Eiken Club, where he's surrounded by many girls, also with enormous endowments.

Densuke is mostly what I mentioned about Koukin. He get aroused by pretty women but he gets nervous and fidgety. That's mostly it. All the other characters basically have no characteristics besides getting Densuke to sexually grab them and arouse ... them. Basically, it's man rape and he doesn't enjoy it that much. Also, what's it called when you take something but it gets out of hand?

Oh yeah, it's OVERKILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why in the hell does....a 6th grade girl.....has breasts the size of fucking basketballs? Why the purple-haired girl does only seems to eat only phallic-shaped foods? The bungee-jumping scene? That falling down scene which seems like Paul WS Anderson directed this? (Yeah, I'm letting Zack Snyder slide this time.) The yogurt slide? The chocoslide? Eels up the @&#*$! ? That sister of Chiharu whose mission in life is to get Densuke to fuck her? Everybody has to flash their asses? We get it!! You are fan service but there is something called SUBTLETY and nobody in here seems to know this.

For terms in all areas of animation, music, and especially both voice acting, let me just say this is the worst example of those: The animation is either being re-used for some occasion, the scenes of the ramen and yogurt that’s made to look like jizz…..yeah, that’s possibly from all the animators, creator, writer and the director. It’s either used for comedic effort and yet, it’s not funny at all, just shock for shock and it turns out lame.

The music is very forgetful, yes, they have beginning and ending songs but did you really remember those right out of the gate? The dub done by Media Blasters and using Arvintel Media Productions for the ADR work……big fucking dumb mistake as they are completely incompetent with the worst voice acting from voice actors who are actually good and yet it breaks my heart hearing Stephanie Sheh (under a different name by the way) voicing Chiharu as I know she has done better voice roles in her career. Hell, most people who watched and reviewed Kanokon know the dub voice acting was terrible.

Fanservice is weird in that at some point during it's history, it went from titillating people with the possibility of seeing some skin, to having weird and bizarre situations where trying to cover up said skin has become half the appeal. And while Eiken is nowhere the near the weirdest fanservice out there, it's has become a tad infamous in certain anime circles.

Our main character is Densuke, who has just enrolled at the exclusive Zashono Academy, a very large private school with 54,00 students ranging from elementary to junior to high school. This school is also know for it's large range of club activities. And ... as the anime is starting and dumping all of this information on you, the fanservice starts. As Densuke arrives, he falls into, or onto, one of these clubs depending on how you view it, the titular Eiken club, by falling on one of his classmate's, Chiharu Shinonome, enormous breasts. And when I say enormous, I mean fucking gigantic.

Every single woman has boobs with a size any where from beach balls to a hot air balloons. Eiken is pronounced achin', short for aching, because that's what the women's backs are definitely doing with the size of their knockers. But none of the women even show the slightest hint of back pain, or even having to try to deal with their massive size of their tits. Maybe the gravity on this planet is completely different and significantly less than of our Earth's, and to compensate, all of the women have giant tits to keep them from floating off into space, along with the men all being as dense as a collapsing star.

But moving on to actual plot of this series, this anime's excuse of getting the girls out of there clothing is that the main character has to get money to buy another character a gift to make up for accidentally embarrassing her. To get the money, he joins the school's games, which includes games like going down a comically over-complex giant slide with his female team mates in revealing clothing, but instead of water, it's yogurt trying it's damnedest to look like semen.

There's even a character that comes along that appears to be trying to win over and steal the main characters love interest. But this matters so little and is so what this OVA is trying to do that the character isn't even worth mentioning.

While it's not the worst or even the most baffling thing out there, it's definitely a sight to behold, and is definitely going to get a double take out of a lot of people.

I'm going to be honest, this anime is a disgrace to the industry and who ever gave this show the green light needs a slap or twenty. Every single girl in this show has no personality and there is no plot at all. however... this did get a ton of laughs out of me due to how horrible this show was and how cringey the fan-service was so it was still great fun to watch with my friends for an hour. And for those who want to maximise the cringe I advise you watch the dub, right up their with bible black in my opinion
