Astarotte no Omocha!

I don't know what made me watch this show. I really shouldn't have. I could think of a hundred much better ways of spending 288 minutes of my life (at least one of which would be thinking of 99 other ways), other than watching this awful pedophilia-themed snore-inducing train wreck of a show. Some spoilers to follow, should you care.

Story: 1
You see that summary up at the top of the page? That's the entire plot. There is no development at all besides what is in that paragraph. Naoya, the 23 year old guy who looks like he's about 14 and is voiced by a girl, ... is taken from his world to be employed as a member of a 10-year old girl's harem so that she can drink his sperm every day. She hates men and is Rie Kugimiya. They pretend to have a plot near the end where the portal to the monster world is trying to erase Naoya and his daughter, so it starts with them losing their voices, but it seems by the very next episode the creators forgot that the characters were supposed to not be able to hear one another and just went ahead with it anyhow. So if you're not watching for the plot, it's gotta be something else, right?

Art: 2
It's not that bad. If you're a pedophile. Every 5 minutes or so you get some sort of phallic imagery alongside the underaged characters. Nothing else really stands out. It's just dull and unimpressive. So if you're not watching for the art, it's gotta be something else, right?

Sound: 1
Rie Kugimiya can die in a fire. I really, really hate her voice. A few times in this show I actually just muted and watched it silent for a while because her screams make me that angry. That, and every character has a high, squeaky voice. The OP/ED are forgettable and uninspired, and the only voice I liked was that of the mosquito in the last episode. Unless you're watching for the assorted squeaks of Japan you could otherwise find in a bale of laboratory mice, it's gotta be for something else, right?

Character: 1
Here's where my real beef with the show stands. You find out eventually that Naoya was actually taken to the land of monsters years ago (11 years to be exact), when he was 12, and while he was 12, impregnated the queen, the result of which is his daughter Asuha. I'm not sure if they ever address it directly, but that makes her step-sisters with the princess Astarotte. But then they go to the same school later, and sit together in the same class. That makes them the same age, or at most 9 months apart which would mean more likely than not they would belong in separate classes. Therefore we can only conclude they were born at the same time, suggesting fraternal twins (clearly not identical, one is blonde and the other is blue). In the two characters biographies, it's written that Asuha is the older sister and Astarotte is the younger, but both are 10 years old. Therefore... Naoya must also be Astarotte's father. Which puts a pretty interest twist on things when he is taken back into the land of monsters to provide a faucet for her succubus necessities. By episode 12, he even says to her that he's fallen in love with her. He KNOWS that she's at the most distant, his step-daughter. And yet he's there for that very purpose anyhow. What is WRONG with you, Japan?

Enjoyment: 1
I found many other better things to do while watching this show.

Overall: 2
I would have given this show a 1, but I don't feel any show can ever match the only show I've ever given a 1 - Shingetsutan Tsukihime. That is, I would have given it at 1, if a Tsukihime anime even existed. So unless you've already made your list of a hundred things you could do with 288 minutes that would be better than watching this show and are looking for something further to do, stick away from this miserable, steaming, heap of crap.

THIS CONTAINS A LOT OF SPOILERS SO YOU CAN READ WHAT YOU'RE GETTING INTO IF YOU DECIDE TO WATCH IT OR NOT AND FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO READ A REVIEW WITH SPOILERS AND SKIP 4 HOURS OF MEDIOCRITY IN 2 MINUTES...


Story
I really was enjoying this anime for the idea it has from the episodes 1 to 6 with the fatherly love that may seem is there, but i was dissapointed half way through because things are not like that, wanting to put together a 10 year old girl with a 23 year old guy, but to make the things less uncomfortable in their eyes ... they made the main dude Naoya look like a 15 y/o boy and to top that he was ''raped'' (as seen in the OVA) by Lotte's mother the queen Marcelida when he was a kid and they had a baby named Asuha, who in fact is Lotte's elder half sister.

It's never explained why Asuha was sent to the human world (just implyig it was for her own safety) and Lotte is never aware of this, she till the end will never know that the guy she's in love with is kind of his step father nor that he slept with her mother and sure will never know that Asuha is her half sister, because Marcelida requested Naoya not to tell this to anyone (and i was looking if in the manga the reason was explained, but is not) and that bothered me, i felt that Marcelida was careless towards Asuha, who she didn't see for like 7 years and didn't show affection, that really bothered me even more, they wanted to make us see that she wasn't a bad slut mom with the last episode's scene, they didn't even talked to each other technically, they were speaking but because of the tree magic thing, they didn't heard what they were saying to each other and it was a pointless scene, it was dissapointing to see that they just talked in the fifth episode after finally the three of them were reunited (in slut mom's eyes was a special moment), they just said some words but never talked directly and slutty just flies away from them.

There are some plot holes like, how is it that Naoya had a lot of magic, being human? (you see this in the OVA, the conversation between the Bat and Marcelida about Naoya having a lot of magic so she can use it to go back to her world) is never explained, and is important because if he didn't had magic, Marcelida wouldn't have f***ed him and would never come back to where she belongs and never had a child and thus the main story of the anime not existing or the fact that she sent Asuha to the human world because she was in danger is Bulls**t because Asuha and Lotte were 3 y/o so they would remember being sisters, if Lotte remembered seeing her mom sleeping with a guy when she was 4, why didn't they remember they were sisters and spend time together? and why wouldn't Marcelida hide Lotte too, why just Asuha? why? to keep being a slut sucking and fu**ing her harem of d**ks?.

Marcelida and Naoya are the ones to blame for the love Lotte feels for Naoya, for not telling the truth to her, Naoya knowing all of this is worse tho. Mediocre.

Art & Sound
I think these two things are the best from the anime, the art style was average, the landscape and the characters were drawn ok. The VA was average, Kugimiya is here as a meh tsundere, the backrgound music was also average, the OP and the ED were just meh. Overall both were average.

Character
The characters were mediocre. -Lotte reminded me of Louise from Zero no tsukaima because of how annoying they can be half the time (and obviously because Kugimiya does both VA) minus the violence towards the protagonist but the hatred towards men because her mother made a promise that they were going to rest in the same room that night but she saw a man from Marcelida's harem entering the room when she was headed to enter and saw her mom sucking him and she felt betrayed and traumatized by that.
-Asuha is cheerful, but i don't know why she doesn't ask herself why her mother did those things, she never asked herself, why she sent her to the human world, why Marcelida wants to hide the fact that she's her child and why she doesn't seem interested on her, that's bull...
-Naoya was the toy of Lotte but felt more like a butler, he is the only guy in her harem, and the only one she needs apparently and as stated before he and Marcelida are the ones to blame for not telling the truth to Lotte about everything, maybe she wouldn't fall in love with Naoya but is not her fault, she didn't know she fell for her (blood/step?) father, the one that her mother banged, the one who knew all of that was him and still found out that he loves her, even tho he's 13 years older, that's fucked up and Marcelida too, knowing that she fu**ed him, she will let her daughter be with him, that's even worse. The support characters were meh, overall was mediocre.

Enjoyment
Well i just enjoyed parts of the episodes 1 to 6 and some things from the last two, i would have really enjoyed this if it wasn't for the bad story with Marcelida and Naoya being the ''adults'' that did nothing good to their kids, like how they were related all four of them, the plot holes, everything that was a let down, and i think the age difference wasn't what bothered me the most, but how all of them were related but one of them will never know. It was a mediocre enjoyment.

A pedophilic show, dressing as a romantic comedy. The reason is clear if you see Rie Kugimiya in the voice acting cast; she is voicing nothing else but loli tsunderes in romcoms. And it’s not like the similarities end just with her name; the entire show is basically a rehash of the anime she gained her fame in the past. “Meek boy summoned to a magic world to serve as butler a rich spoiled loli tsundere” is basically a fusion of Familiar of Zero with Hayate no Gotoku. And just like those aforementioned anime, Astarotte no Omocha has very little plot and lots n’ lots ... of jail-bait. To be completely honest, this anime is far better than the other two, no matter if you hate or like such shows. If you hate them, it lasts only 12 episodes thus your suffering ends much faster. If you love them, it is far more perverse and bold thus you are going to have much harder boners out of it.

Allow me to describe the story to you. Please be warned that I am not joking; this REALLY is the story. The setting is a magic land based on the Nordic mythology. It doesn’t look like a place full of brute Vikings and scary frost giants; it just borrows the names and basic functions of the Yggdrasil, the world tree which connects all different realms. In fact, it looks more like a fairy tale with four leaf flowers endlessly falling from the sky on a land filled with furry cosplayers. Meaning, it looks like a virtual brothel for otakus. In this land, the princess of the land is Astarotte, a 10 year old rich spoiled tsundere loli succubus. Since she is a succubus, she reaches an age where she needs male life seed to survive. And by life seed, I mean semen… Seriously; I am not making this up; the loli princess needs to suck semen in order to survive from the age of 10. For this reason her assistant brings a young boy from our world to be her butler. Meaning, her sex toy and regular semen provider. Said boy is 23 years old and already is the father of a 10 year old girl who loves to run around without pantsu. The mother of the girl is the same one as the succubus’, meaning the boy impregnated her mother when he was 12 and now came to “do” her too.

And if you expect some really sick incestuous lolicon hentai from all this I’m afraid you will be disappointed; the plot “sucks” harder than the semen-craving loli. Everything that follows is just plain old random gag and slapstick romcom, usually centering on the words “milk” and “suck”. Well, you can imagine what type of jokes they are… The last two episodes attempt to provide a sort of crisis and resolution with the worlds being in peril because of the sudden interaction of the realms; a thing which I feel was ripped off from Ah! My Goddess. Yet the resolution is the usual open ended finale where nothing much has changed. In fact, nothing did since episode 1.

So there you have it, an incestuous lolicon hentai premise that heads nowhere, with its cast being caricatures defined by their erotic fetishes. If you are willing to be content with that instead of reading some ACTUAL lolicon manga, then be my guest and fire away (your life seed). As I said it is far bolder than the other two anime and has Rie Kugimiya voicing a tsundere loli; what else is there to expect? Yeah, the score is low and that will make you think it’s bad, but it’s also so bad it is good (if you are a lolicon). I guess the rehash of such stories got boring and Kugimiya-based anime are now pitted against Toradora, the best romcom she has been in so far (she voices Taiga there).

The production values are not good in overall since the animation is jerky and heavy on SD characters and simplistic backgrounds. Heck, even the world tree looks like a crude 3D cone with a dry scalp that flakes all the time. And the characters are all drawn simplistically moe and sexy with outfits from some nekomimi maid café. But who cares if the fan service is good; right? There are lots of nude scenes, as well as pantsu and nopan ones, most cleverly censored with passing by items. That is almost a talent! As for the soundtrack it is full of silly songs I have already forgotten, and voice acting with expectably high pitched voices, since Japanese people believe squeaking squirrels are sexy. Heck, even the main male is voiced by a girl.

In all, I liked the bold humor and disliked the absence of EVERYTHING ELSE. There is of course no value in this anime, the characters are just ephemeral fapping material, the story goes nowhere and the production values are cheap. But hell, chances are you only care about the first thing I said; so be my guest and allow yourselves to be entertained by a 10 year old “suck”ubus. You can also allow the anime industry to “milk” your wallet or just look for a torrent with lots of “seeders”.

If you've gotten further than the description of this show, you're probably wondering how low of a MAL rating you're willing to tough out for 12 episodes of loli fanservice. If it's fanservice you're looking for, you're in luck, because there's tons of it. Unfortunately, besides the plethora of pantie shots, skirt lifts, ridiculous outfits designed to facilitate these things, and brief moments of semi-nudity, there's little else worth mentioning about this show except how bad it is.

There are some shows that take a ludicrous premise and make it work - where they could have just gone with predictably lewd, they surprise with at ... least a modicum of character depth or stories that consist of more than just an excuse to see the characters wearing (or not) various outfits in a variety of ridiculous situations.

This is the show that Lotte no Omocha wants to and fails to be. Rather than a simple ecchi comedy, it attempts to craft a love story between characters who are at once both vapid and painfully tedious. Watching them fumble their way through twelve episodes of overly dramatic and predictably resolved conflicts is absolutely uninteresting, as the writers failed to give them any kind of depth or emotional IQ. Lotte acts out and storms off, her harem friend says 'hime-sama' a number of times with a very concerned look before saying and doing the exact right thing, causing Lotte to tear up and say 'Naoya' a few times before apologizing and leaving the viewer wondering why they were fighting in the first place.

Lotte functions only as the troubled loli character - she has trouble with things like wetting herself, making friends (she has none to start off with), and is in a big fight with her mother over an inexplicably unresolved problem. These things are also treated with the utmost seriousness and lots of very sad music. Naoya, despite being 23 and the father of a child (apparently raised by himself) since he was 13, is confused and flustered by things like having an erection or falling in love yet doesn't think twice about the fact that he was hired to get a blowjob from a 10-year-old fantasy creature from another world. The rest of the characters are barely worth mentioning except that their main function is to provide the viewer with a wider variety of panties and breasts to look at as this trainwreck plays out.

All of this is brought to life with generally mediocre-to-cheap-looking animation that makes heavy use of montages and flashbacks as you can see the animators sweating their budget.

This is a show that's actually worse than the already weak premise. No amount of Rie Kugimiya or pantie shots made it better, and there's no reason why you should subject yourself to it.

Ayo,who the hell wrote this anime! 💀💀I thought it was something like reverse harem or something about succubus and their life. But soon it becomes so illigal to watch.bruh the guy who is married with a daughter is Littrely rizzing his stepdaughter who is 10 (almost same as his daughter)💀. Nah bruh i just wanna forget this shit ever exist.
2nd why the characters are so loli looking even the 23 yr old mc.why is he voiced by a woman which sounds so irritating!! And why this is in a isekai category.people consider isekai avarage still they are way popular genre but this put isekai to ... the worst place.
Anybody who enjoy this is a mentally retarded or a pdf.

I watched this anime only because I heard the ED on an anime playlist and fell absolutely in love with it. The story sounded terrible but it's only 12 episodes long so I figured why not. Let's start with the good points; like I mentioned, that soundtrack. The ending song should be up there in anime karaoke, it is truly one of the sweetest, loveliest songs I've ever heard. Also, strangely enough, I actually didn't hate any of the characters. Most of the time, I usually end up disliking a character and I ESPECIALLY CANNOT STAND TSUNDERES. Particularly Kugimiya Rie-voiced tsunderes (she's great but her ... tsundere characters are all literally the same character). Strangely, I didn't actually dislike the main tsundere girl as much as I normally would. The bright perky friend who's loved by everyone and cheerful no matter what I also normally don't like for being dumb as bricks but this one (Asuha) actually had some sense, so not bad. The characters, the music, the art.... wonderful. The 3 points I gave for 'Overall' is literally to those 3 points: characters, sound, and art.
Now the bad, which trumps all of this. SHE IS TEN. SHE IS TEN AND THE WHOLE POINT OF THIS SHOW IS ABOUT HER NEEDING TO SUCK OFF A 23 YEAR OLD. WHO BY THE WAY, HAS A DAUGHTER WHO IS LITERALLY HER AGE. I thought it would at least be kinda like "Oh maybe it's just like she'll end up having a crush on him and he'll reject her but she'll learn to grow from it" or something but no. HE CONFESSED TO HER TOO. And you know what, maybe if it was even like a sweet looking romance like CardCaptor Sakura, I could pretend, but the show is literally about how she's supposed to suck his d*ck. Yeah NOPE.

The premise caught my attention in a WTF is this kind of way so I thought I would give it a watch. You know what, despite the premise the four first episodes are pretty freaking wholesome, even tho in the back of my mind the premise was constantly bugging me. How the fuck ever I dropped this show half through episode 5 because(spoiler i guess) the mother of the lead female, who is a 10 year old succubus, Raped the male lead when he was 13 years old, then leaves him with their rape baby 3 years later when he is 15, and the show ... has him Fucking thanking her for it. Are you freaking kidding me. Not much of a review but this show because of that alone is hot fucking garbage and you shouldn't watch it at all.

The first princess is told to add a male to her female-only harem, with the idea of preparing for when she matures. This harem is pretty people, not any actual sex, more people to deal with her own abandonment issues from her mother. As a succubi, though she needs a man or man when matures to keep youth, beauty, life.

Unfortunately, the messenger from her kingdom pretty much grabs the first guy she sees, offers him a large amount of money, to play the man who wins the princess's heart and needs her his life seed and he will continue to cash ... in.

So we have a 23-year-old, father of a 10 year being moved to a castle with generally a 10-year-old princess, not creepy at all; and her attaches. As well as the monetary compensation, he asks his daughter can come.

Its harem'y will be a bit creepy for some a 10-year-old in panties and negligee and the general vibe this is a pedos dream, but also how whether for money or love the 23 year is happy he may one day be ploughing a 10 year old. Sadly we know is the anime method where they like teens, tweens, and pre-teens for their ecchi, so easy to become immune.

As he breaks down her defenses and tries to fix some of the issues facing her, initially ending with punishment and degradation, which even the daughter wants to walk away from. We find more about both our MC's daughter, and the processes issues, and the affect on the realm it has when they stay too long.

It wasn't for me, but others will love it, especially creepy people

The only way I'm even able to go through watching this is because I'm watching it with my friends. I literally made an account just to talk about how much I hate this anime. It may look like a fun happy cutesy story somebody can watch and have a pretty good time. But really its just boring, disgusting, and is basically pedophilia. The only way you can enjoy this is if you basically ignore the fact that this anime is about some twenty-year-old guy (who for some reason has a female voice actor?) who basically has to get it with a bunch of little girls. ... It also has some other dude who falls in love with the protagonist (who is a little girl) and he's much older than she is. There's a whole bunch of other examples I could put out here to prove how disgusting this anime is but I think I've proved my point. There's also a bunch of panty shots and what not of little girls but that's not why I hate this anime. What really grinds my gears is two things. The First being the fact that they basically make light of the whole story in which a 10-year-old girl needs to get a harem of men including the male protagonist who has a daughter (what?!) who is also around 10 years old. Whats even more baffling is the fact that he's in his early twenties meaning he had her when he barely started puberty! I won't write any spoilers but let's just say "A much older female was enjoying herself with a young boy and a surprise came from it" Anyways back to the portrayal of all this, the anime tries to make it seem like all the disgusting crap that happens in this anime is normal and okay but really its not, everyone knows its not (in real life that is). Of course, there's the argument that its a comedy so of course it's light-hearted, but that doesn't make up for the pedophilia. Also every episode they try to hit you with a sentimental moment but you really feel nothing from them and you just want it to stop because of how boring and stale it is. And with all the pedophilia and what not its impossible to take this serious to any degree, which makes the sentimental moments that much worse. Most of the jokes are pretty stale(in my opinion) though I did laugh at a few of them. And THEY CONTINUE WITH ALL THE PEDOPHILIA SO MUCH. I wish I could take it as a joke but this isn't just a one time thing its literally the entire foundation of the entire anime! Honestly, the only good thing about this anime is the art, it's well done and it looks great (visually). The sounds okay, I mean there was nothing that really put me in awe but it wasn't as god awful as the actual content. I'd say watch at your own peril, the only sexual parts of this anime are the lewd lolis which I personally don't enjoy, but hey if it floats your boat... In my opinion, I'd say stay away from this anime, even if all the anime in the world was completely eradicated and this was the only one left I'd still say its a waste of time. This isn't the thing I hate most in the world but this anime is a stale piece of bread with boring characters and a boring story, and the pedophilia is added dog feces. There are plenty of great anime out there you can watch, trust me when I say you won't be missing anything if you dont watch this. I said it before, Ill say it again, I absolutely hate this anime, but if you wanna watch it anyways I wont stop you... (But dont watch it)
