Kanokon (Anime) add
B is for bouncing
O is for "out there"
O is for outlandish
B is for bosoms
S is for "seriously?"

Boobs. Bothered yet? Boobies, melons, bosoms, fun-bags, playthings, tits, breasts. Still not bothered? Well, you have passed the "Kanokon" test, my friend. Welcome to a magical anime, filled with boobs, boobs, and, yet, more boobs.

The way the story begins sets the tone for the rest of the story. Not in the way that they continue to develop it, more like they let you know that it's there, basically causing all the drama in the series, but let "mini-arcs", spanning an episode or two, act as the story for ...

Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (23/26 eps)
I can summarize this entire anime in one short phrase: AHHHHHHH!
I kid you not, the show cannot go hardly a minute without an interjection or over-the-top exclamation. I seriously had a hard time getting into this mainly for that reason. Even though it was a rom/com/harem anime, a genre which I generally enjoy, this, however, I really had to fight to stay interested.

The overall story's main arc is developed by our hero meeting a mermaid during his summer vacation. Well, as you could expect, things don't work out too peacefully, and the story takes it from there - death, or marrying a (rather ...

Hayate no Gotoku - you've been a long road for me: 75 episodes is no easy task for a 12 to 24-episode convert. (76 including the 30 minute OVA.)

Down to brass tax: the story has, outright, abandoned the "Hayate owes 150 million yen" arch. True, it keeps him as the butler to Nagi, but, compared to the first season, it's not the driving factor - the relationships are now.

If you saw the prequel to the second season, the OVA, you would have been slightly shocked with, not only with the art style, but with the more relationship-oriented season that is to come. For ...

I was a little apprehensive when I started a 52 episode-long anime, being mainly accustomed to watching 24 episodes and less. However, I'm glad I decided to delve into the world of Hayate, Nagi, Maria, and others.

The story is summarized very well in the details section, so if you want to find out specifics, check out that tab.
The story was very good. Its success can be attributed to the always present, comedy aspect of the series. Some might think anime comedy is a little "meh," but this definitely is an exception. I'm sure if you've watched the majority of the popular anime shows ...

Spoiler
Canvas 2 is like a harem burger - it has two really good soft, warm buns, but the middle, the meat, is kind of gray and unappealing. If that simile didn't give you a good summary of the story, I don't blame you; read on for the full review.

***REVIEW MIGHT CONTAIN SPOILERS***

Story: 8
Somehow I've picked up and watched two "incestuous" harems in a row. Not all bad, I might say. So this might put a little bias spin on this review of the story because I've seen the same thing two times previous, but this one is by far the best and most compelling.
The ...

It's not a typical harem anime; it relies heavily on the ecchi and story aspect to be successful. The overall feel of the ending is rather pleasant but nothing to really write home about.

Story: 7
It has a story... per se. Each episode revolves around or focuses on a character within the household and nicely incorporates the remaining cast into each episode as it goes along. Some might find this technique appealing and fresh but it sacrifices time for development of characters that aren't pertinent to the story and are giving TV-time to "be fair." However, the story boils down to Ren's interactions with the rest ...

Nothing really preliminary to discuss; it's harem, cute girls, etc. Let's get right to the blunt review:

Story: 6
Not original. Guy lives with girls; one girl was set up to be his fiance; which leads to many, many emotions. However, the grade is above average because they put a teeny twist on it. I try to write spoiler-free reviews and this one is no different. If you want to enjoy some love triangle romance without too much (hardly any) deep thinking/thought, this one does an above average job at it.

Art: 8
Very good. Not disappointing at all.

Sound: 6
Well, the girls sound like girls and the boys ...

Unless I'm being totally dense: this is NOT a harem in any way, shape, or form. If you happened upon this series because you saw "harem" in the genre description and are expecting a harem anime, stop right here and don't watch it. Personally, I would categorize it as more of a romantic, drama, and sci-fi anime.

If you're still reading and do not care that it isn't harem, you'll be in for a pleasant journey.


Story: 9
Probably the most redeeming quality of this anime; thought-provoking, mystical, and just pretty darn good. You can read more about the story in the details section if ...

True Tears (Anime) add
Damn. That was as close to perfection for a "harem" anime as you can get. Quotes around harem because True Tears is truly in a league of its own. We all know that harems are generally pretty silly and filled with more than a fair share of ecchi moments, but, dang, I'm totally, 100% okay with this anime deviating from the common ground.

Story: 9
To me, the story is created with each passing episode and that the "tears" and "sky" symbolism don't really count as it. In my opinion, it revolves around Shin and thankfully it did.

Art: 10
Unlike other animes that start off with a ...

Story? Who cares? You're watching this for the fanservice, and as a harem, you should be pleased with 13 episodes of 99%, "Tsukune, Tsukune, take me." That's basically what it is; and it's implied ****SPOILERS**** that he and Moka (pink-haired) get together.
****POSSIBLE SPOILERS FROM HERE ON IN****
It's funny, actually. I think there's only ONE kiss the entire second season between Tsukune and any of his four girl "suitors," and it's not even Moka, I want to say it's Mazore (sp).
Anyway, getting a little sidetracked there... you will enjoy this season if, like me, you enjoy fanservice and enjoy receiving a healthy dosage every ...
