I just had to write a review on how disappointment I was in the time i wasted on Shuffle!
Story - 1
Some out there (like the small amount of posts on the forum) seem to have liked the story.. But seriously it is so full of plot holes and terrible planning I can't begin to explain. Some of you have actually seen this may see this as a total hate, but honestly it isn't. The beginning episodes got me into the show - and I really only stayed for the humor and the princesses (I liked there personalities - they were a little too overcharged emotionally
...
but they had nice differences). Sadly the humor completely dies off - no real reason (The hilarious fan clubs just stop..).
The story arcs are sadly very underused. There was honestly so much potential that could have been utilized in the story... instead it's all wasted on stupid emotional charges and of course the large amount of echii (I'd be lieing if I said I hated Echii -_^). I could go on and on.. but seriously it's not worth the time waste.. there are so many plot holes where characters disappear as if they died and later resurrect, and without spoiling anything, IT JUST MAKES NO FREAKING SENSE!.
Art- It was pretty well done, it never bothered me.
Sound - The music was so-so, it helped at some parts that were too overcharged with fake emotion.
Character- The main character is awful, he is just the single worst Anime character I have ever come across. He has literally no personality, they make you believe he might gain some, but never does, instead to me he is a total jerk. If you somehow decide to watch this - you will quickly realize that. That said, it managed to gain a 5 because the girl characters all had fairly different personalities. While a certain someone is my least liked of the girls - ahh s - it was still not too bad. The princesses are appealing in the sense of who they actually are - not the pathetically crafted love for Rin.
Primula (what a terrible name) is easily one of the most adorable/lovable anime characters I have run across... it's just something about her that would make one want to do anything to protect her. She is honestly the only TRULY bright light of wasting time on Shuffle!
Enjoyment - First 10 eps or so were pretty enjoyable for the comedy.. which is sadly what got me to continue watching hoping it would return in full force.. It's obvious my stance. The rest of the eps become so pathetically overcharged with fake emotions, story lines and ridiculous drama, so ridiculous I view it as a really lame joke.
Overall - 1. I understand a 1 really isn't all that fair, I truly do. However the amount of plot holes, missing dialogues, fake emotions, ridiculous drama, terrible main character and numerous other flaws have led me to hate this so much as to be the worst Anime I've ever watched. Given my rage is a little reflected from wanting it to be good - I guess thats a redeeming quality. However I don't play into the "Oh for being based off a H-Game its pretty good" is just weak. Honestly I just hope I save at least one person from wasting time on this. Please do not understand my review as being subjective - Unless you're really itching for some heavy Echii (Yes, Nudity and explicit shots are aplenty - pointless even) then move on... just move on.
