"What." - How I can best describe my experience with this series.
Translating the name "Ore, Twintails ni Narimasu" it means "I will become a twintails!". I was of the opinion that this was a very interesting (if somewhat strange) title, which for that very reason made me start watching it.
Story: 6
I can only say that I was shocked at the start. I had no idea what to expect and I just found the entire setting absurd and hilarious. I also didn't feel like this series had any true story to it at all - Just that a guy with a fetish seems to just
...
have scored a 20 on his latest dice roll. But something was off. I couldn't place my finger on it.
And then it hit me like a truck. The basic story was, in essence, a Super Sentai (Power Rangers) parody! But because of that I felt that the story was sacrificed to explore more upon characters. And in all fairness, I believe that was for the best.
Art: 9
It's simply well animated and there are good effects. I'm impressed with them, really.
Sound: 8
I think the only nitpick I have is the opening of the series; I am of the opinion that the ending is much better and, in all honesty, fits better as the opening than the actual opening. Otherwise there are good sound effects, good music to set the mood and good voice actors.
Character: 9
Here's what makes the series. As stated above, the story really feels like a parody, which in turn allows it to make characters quite a bit more enjoyable than otherwise. The Monster of the Day enemies are hilarious, and I find myself laughing (and even sympathizing) with the antagonists.
As for the main cast, Souji is very interesting. The others are there to fill the main Sentai tropes but the main character is the one who feels like he's breaking the mold. And the way they parody the story and the harem genre (somewhat) at the same time does wonders. This series would have been extremely boring had everything been taken 100% seriously, and luckily it's not.
Enjoyment: 10
It's hilarious. I can't look at this as a 100% serious series, it's just got too many parallels with the Sentai genre that I know so well and it makes fun of it all too well. But because I can't take it seriously, it becomes better. There are those few serious moments that still don't feel entirely unnecessary (heck, alot of them are serious because it makes it more fun), and the show knows when and when not to joke around.
Overall: 8
In the end, I think if you've watched any Sentai/Power Rangers series as a kid or in your later days, you'll find that this series is very funny to watch. If you've watched alot of harem series as well, you'll find it even more hilarious. If you haven't seen alot from any of these genres you might interpret the show differently, in a way I sadly cannot shed any light on. But you might still enjoy it!
