Goshuushou-sama Ninomiya-kun

To start with, I expected more from this is pointless. It was a pain to watch and after the first ep. I gave up and started skipping it (it wasn't worth watching seriously). You can't expect anything extra from it. The female characters were annoying, the MC is a big jerk, even though they try to portray him as a big strongman, he's a complete slob with women. In addition, there's a cliché backstory about a classic childhood promise. I won't even go into detail about the rest, when the characters and plot no longer interest me or disgust me, the rest makes no sense to me. The comedy is weak and the ecchi is for fanservice and I'm not a harem fan. So weakness, the only advantage is that it only has 12 ep. What I didn't like the most is the character design, especially the female ones. I don't really need this old style of big eyes.

tl;dr: An anime that has a plot that hasn’t aged all that well but may feel somewhat nostalgic, though the comedy still holds up decently well. This is an anime from 2007. That probably isn’t that old for some people, but is about the time I got into anime so I’m somewhat nostalgic for anime from the time. This very much felt like an anime from back then. Not just in terms of the art style and animation, but also in terms of the story and characters. It’s an incredibly generic anime for back then, but the tropes and such that it uses have actually fallen out of favor so they’re actually not used all that much recently. The protagonist, Shungo, a high school student who lives only with his older sister as his parents are off on a trip to who knows where and are never seen the entire anime. His sister is a mercenary who makes him go through ridiculous training making him an incredibly powerful fighter, but that almost never matters. The first love interest, Mayu, is an airheaded succubus who has androphobia and is relying on Shungo to help her get over it. The second is an incredibly competent tsundere ojou-sama who has an army of attendants at her beck and call. Also, one of these two may be his childhood friend since Shungo keeps having dreams about there being someone he made a promise to, but he seems to have forgotten who. And of course Shungo is completely dense and has absolutely no personality outside of being nice. Also, loads of utterly ridiculous stuff happens, such as random death matches, aliens, highly maneuverable fighter jets, ninjas, etc. Throw in all the other standard stuff such as a beach episode, hot spring episode, boys trying to sneak into the girls room on a field trip, accidental grabbing and kissing, etc. too. Just go down the checklist and hit pretty much everything. The anime certainly isn’t incredible, but I enjoyed it as a throwback. The serious drama parts definitely haven’t aged well, though I guess they do have some charm. The comedy on the other hand I think has aged pretty well and overall the show is pretty funny when it’s trying to be. The anime also throws in purely comedic shorts unrelated to the main episode before the OP which I thought worked pretty well. I think I would have preferred for the serious parts during the main episode to take themselves less seriously and be funny as well, but the overall balance is decent enough though the pacing feels really slow during extended serious portions such as the finale. The finale is solid enough I suppose, if essentially completely predictable. I would also like to note that despite it being tagged as such, this isn’t a harem series as far as I understand the term. The protagonist only has two love interests. Of the other four girls in the poster, one I suppose teases him but it doesn’t seem like romantic development at all. The other three end up pairing off with other male characters and aren’t interested in the protagonist romantically. The art, animation, and designs, are in the style of anime from the late 20s, and are decent for then though not especially high quality. The same applies to the soundtrack, which is decent enough but not particularly memorable outside of a track that’s used for flashbacks and such. The OP and ED are both pretty solid in terms of the visuals and song. The eye catches are decent as well and remind me a lot of VNs from back then.

I'm just going to jump right into this review, by saying that this anime was VERY hard to decide if it was in my 'Hate' book, or my 'love' book. First off, the lead character is INCREDIBLY likable (in my book)...the supporting characters' personalities have been used so often in the anime universe, that it's not even funny. The main character is the only character that has any charm, at all. There is bunches of fan service, but this anime is also VERY funny...*laughing in head* one character had small breasts and fantisized about pupularizing small breasts over large breasts, and handing out posters, making large breasted girls long for small breasts. It was funny. The music was great, GREAT. This anime seemed to have found a 'format' for good anime, and attempted following it, but it failed to provide personality for it's characters, and that is it's downfall. **I apologize for the grammar.

This is just another trash harem-style anime, that finds a way to make normal trash, even more unrealistic, by filling a school with succubus and incubus and putting a normal human among them. The main characters are all defective in different ways, a boy scared of girls, a bunch of succubi who could kill the man she kisses accidentally, etc, The cast continues like that with people who can't be honest with each other as they are cowards. Add on top a sister who thinks she is Rambo. The storyline is almost as torturous as the life the male MC lives, as he is tortured by girls and also too stupid to choose or reject anyone in typical harem fashion. Most of the characters have no features you could like and it is about the ecchi/harem element more than good art, sound, characters, or story I don't know what's worse the story or the likes of this get produced when so many better animes are left on the sidelines to die.
