Yes, I used the “T” word, indirectly calling all those who like such disgraces idiots. Well, excuse me for making a point here which goes beyond their egocentric selves and shows a sub market of wasted potential that diminishes the anime industry instead of flourishing it. But more on that later. Let’s first nerdraeg at the different sections of this dreadful thing which some did the mistake of making and others followed on by buying.
The story. Oh Sweet Mother of Jesus, the thing which this genre never cared about. Most comedies are the same as well but harems seem to not even bother TRYING to have anything other than a premise. In this case, the excuse for the endless fappingness is eastern monks. The setting is the same like in most others of this kind, a fail of a male specimen is surrounded by various super hot chicks, who have a really hard time staying dressed, covering their privates, or bumping on his crotch as if it is an ultra powerful electromagnet. Yeah, that sounds familiar; if it didn’t it wouldn’t be called soft porn disguised as comedy, aka harem. It’s as if all these shows need to do is have this premise and a random set of clothes to set themselves apart from the other, practically identical, shows. Which is double as lame, since down to it these shows use clothes not to define personalities but only to define fetishes. Maids, sisters, nuns, in this case priestesses. Plus, they finally aim to remove said clothes to provide even more cocktease, leaving the viewer staring at breast sizes and not people with a personality.
Anyways, the excuse here is that dork being sent to get close with Buddha while being accompanied by chicks who help him trigger his hidden potential. How? By making him horny! WTF? A priest getting better at holy magic by being tainted by lustfulness? Does that mean a psychotic killer who performs a mass (not the murder type) at some church will be ten times as crazy? What bullshit is this?
Crappy premises aside, the actual story is as per usual almost entirely fillers. The first episode is there to tell you the basics and the final episode of each season to provide a supposed closure, only for it to be as open and useless as the premise itself. The rest of the episodes are nothing but excuses for the girls to expose themselves. So if I am to give the story a score, that would be 3 episodes out of a full season, basically 1/7th of the total duration. There you go, a generous score of 2.
Then we move to the cast. Oh God Almighty, the section which is as looked upon as the story. The lead is the usual fail for life arsewhole who is incapable of even looking at a girl without having a nosebleed or not be beaten to a pulp by some neurotic bitch every 5 minutes. It was funny the first 100 times I saw it in Love Hina, but now it is nothing else besides lame. Seriously, are we supposed to identify with this ding-dong, who is good at nothing? Or to NOT identify but rather self-insert because of how bland he is? What kind of people would like such an archetype?
None. Nobody likes beta cucks. They can make them seem to be chick magnets because they have a good heart despite being wastes of space and still nobody will like them. Because they are never the main focus, they are the eyes of the viewer. The naked bodies of the girls are the highlight and the protagonists are losers just to prevent the story from becoming hardcore porn. WELL WHY NOT? How much frustration can a man stand before his weenie falls off from the constant blue-balling? This isn’t healthy for Pete’s sake. It’s just about drooling all over 2D girls without ever getting any boon.
Anyways, at least we have personalities to notice here besides boobs and underwear. Each girl has her own unique psychology, goals in life, reasons to aspire being like her… YEAH RIGHT! HAREM GIRLS WITH DEPTH; NICE ONE HAHAHA! They are solely defined by their breast size and the color of their underwear. Their clothes are not there to give them personality; they are there as a fetish for the fans of this dreadfulness to like. If they ever change clothes, they don’t become different people but rather a DIFFERENT FETISH! Being undressed is just the default state.
So these characters (which in this excuse of a story are some generic eastern monks in some generic temple) are nothing you wouldn’t expect. They don’t really develop and you have no reason to remember something about them, besides perhaps the boners you got out of them. I give them the score they deserve. A nice fat bottomed ace.
But you know what? As lame as these shows are, they can still have good animation and a brilliant soundtrack. Nothing holds them back from doing that. Love Hina and Ah My Goddess had wonderful artwork and superb music scores, and they are harems as well. Remember the magic world of the gods and their divine music? Naru’s singing at the concert? So why not have something similar in this show? BECAUSE THE PRODUCERS DIDN’T CARE! If it weren’t for the constant worm view of the camera angle just so we can see pantsu without a reason, there would be nothing to look at. And you can watch this anime in mute for all I care; the dialogues are retarded and there isn’t much of a plot to distract you from the main theme of this show; which is fapping excuses.
This turd has no message, no artistry, nothing out of the norm. It doesn’t even try to be different, it is a clone of the set-in-stone formula. Doesn’t worth it! Keep away! Try something else, preferably not harem.
