I don't usually watch the harem or ecchi genres, but this one caught my eye simply due to the animation, which is the first thing I consider when starting an anime. Studio Gekkou outdid itself with this anime. The character designs in this anime are truly exceptional. If you are someone who enjoys appreciating good animation then I suggest you watch Temple. Overall, Temple isn't great, but it isn't terrible either. Obviously, there are several sexual themes, dirty jokes, and misunderstandings. I feel that this anime does all of these right. It's actually funny and not just, "Hey, look! Boobs!" However, the plot is lacking, ... which isn't surprising since it's harem/ecchi, so if you're watching for a good story, don't be too hopeful.

Story: 3/10
Animation: 9/10

This is easily one of the best romance mangas I've read. I was looking for realistic adult romance and found it in Ase to Sekken. There's a good blend of comedy, cuteness, and wholesome. The concept of the manga is unique in itself. Sure it's about two office workers who fall in love, but who would have guessed that soap and sweat were important aspects of these two worker's lives that would lead them to one another? I didn't think I'd get very far in the manga, but I just finished it today after binge-reading it. Before reading, however, you should know that Ase to ... Sekken, being categorized as Seinen, has some adult scenes, and it does touch a bit on bullying, as it was a part of Asako's childhood. I think these make the manga all the more realistic, though.
