Masamune-kun no Revenge

Masamune-kun no revenge review Let’s talk about a revenge story that never happened with cliché characters set in a school. Story 1/10 This is one of the those original stories that gives facts to the saying “Can I copy your homework ? Yeah just changed it up a bit so it doesn’t look so obivious”.Don’t worry if you are looking for worldbuilding and character development there is no such thing. Cmon be serious it’s a masterpiece! It’s about revenge or a stupid grudge a fat guy has over a tsundere princess since childhood and can’t move on with his life because guess what that is a great idea to make a story for the author.Make a better story author next time! The story is very cliché set in a school and the development is as it should be the first episodes focuses on the heroine and mc then other characters are added to spicy up the story or to make it more of a mess. As every 12 episodes anime needs to respect his standards we have the legendary beach episode where we are shown plot and flat 100 years war , the transfer student who is always a girl preferably with big boobs because plot is needed , and the same rooftop scenes and action to conquer the heroine who guess what it’s a fck tsundere! We also have a trap in this story who is treated as a girl because if we add a little spice to the plot it’s more entertaining or stupid and cliché. I almost forgot the reverse trap girl who dresses as a guy because she has her circumstances and nobody notice that because everybody in this anime is stupid as fck. Characters 0/10 These are the characters you can find in any anime so they’re copy paste characters starting from their looks to their personality. Makabe is the main character of this show,his looks way of acting and level of density and dumbness fits him in a romantic comedy anime. Even his haircut is the same as other mc from rom/com anime. He is the “macho” type who does sport and eats healty food because he was a fat guy in his childhood. Such a retarded 1D character.He always saves the day or fails to achieve his goals because this anime doesn’t needs a conclusion and a story. He is dumb as fck too. Adagaki Aki the heroine who everybody wishes for the princess from a fairy taile.She is tsundere of course what did you expect and flat chested too. What a joke of character. She eats a lot too and doesn’t get fat because anime logic. Yoshino this is the joint character added to the love triangle usually has a bulb haircut and two personalities one of the silent type and the other a vicious predator. To fit the standards of this anime usually she knows the heroine from childhood and tries to protect her from other male characters. Neko is the legendary transfer student with big boobs who every romantic comedy anime needs it . Usually she is kind hearted towards the mc and likes to act as a smartass and superior to other characters. She also has a important role in the plot vs flat endless war. Animation 8/10 The only good thing about this show and the vivid colors will attract every pleb who has shit taste in anime to watch this anime. Sound 4/10 I liked the opening Enjoyment 2/10 The first episodes where enjoyable but the repetitive jokes and the tsundere heroine became so annoying that it ruined my enjoyment. The main character dumbness and retarded actions ruined the anime too. Overall 2/10 The ending of this show is a total mess the interaction between characters is awfull and to make it worse the fact that a new character is added and never explained his past or circumtances and role in the story it’s like a trash can who is overfilled with garbage and somebody should empty it.The last episode crumbled everything and the ending is number one cliché spot in the history of anime.

A New Year is upon us let there be new romance anime. Masamune-kun is your typical romance/ harem anime, but with a twist it has a revenge theme. You have Makabe Masamune who is the hot guy in high school and you have the beautiful cruel girl Aki Adagaki. The plots develops around Makabe driven to take revenge on adagaki for events that happened in the past regarding Makabe falling in love with adagaki. [Story] 8/10 This anime has great story which is easy to follow, but sometimes feels hollow a problem found in some Harem anime. [Art] 9/10 The art was pretty good the characters felt alive and there was a really great sense of life to be felt from this world. [Sound] 9/10 The sound was great i felt that the op/ending were both amazing. [Character] 10/10 The character development was probably one of the greatest aspects of this anime the interactions that these characters had with one another made it a great watch this winter season. [Enjoyment] 10/10 This anime was also a lot of fun and it also knew not take it self to seriously unless the moment called for some sort of drama inducing sad moments which there were and felt serious which is something really difficult to pull of in this type of series. [Overall Conclusion] 8/10 The winter season brought us a bunch of good anime and i think that masamune-kun no revenge is one of them. The only thing is that it is not an anime for everyone since there are some that hold a grudge towards the harem genre in general, but people that feel the need for some romance, comedy should not hesitate to pick up & start watching Masamune-kun no revenge.

STORY: The story was good, seeing how Masamune tries to get the girl is enjoyable to watch. Most of the comedy was cringe funny (like how Masamune says weird pick up lines he got from manga, I FELT THE AWKWARDNESS THROUGH THE SCREEN). I really expect Masamune and Aki to actually fall in love at some point (if there will be a 2nd season, I haven't read the manga) so I'm not paying too much attention that Masamune's whole drive is to break her heart. The show ended in the middle of an arc which was pretty awkward, it could have at least had a resolution and complete the arc. CHARACTERS: Each of the characters are very unique and have lots of detail in their personalities. Some characters are not exactly likable because the cast consists of the narcissist, the men hater, the girl that tries to completely ruins the main characters relationship etc. but they were enjoyable to watch Little development except for the minimal advancement in the main character’s relationship and *SPOILER* the other girl giving up on Masamune, overall supporting him and Aki *END OF SPOILER* ART: Characters were wonderfully designed. Adagaki Aki is definitely eye catching and beautiful. No complaints on art! :) SOUND: Voice acting was good. The opening song is now one of my favorite anime songs! FINAL THOUGHTS: The show was good, but not great. It made me feel extremely awkward at times but it had a good laugh to it. Overall 7/10

I don't normally write reviews, but since this show is pretty polarizing, it's kinda interesting, so I wanna put my thoughts into it. Note that this review will be spoiler free. Masamune no Revenge is definitely a twist unto the original romance genre, and a very good one at that. Typically romance comedy anime have really cliche plot and characters. Masamune no Revenge has exactly the opposite, it has really interesting (though unrealistic) characters and the relationships that occur between them really drove me to the next episode. Story: 8 A really unique story, it's not often you have a plot where on the surface, one person is head over heels for another person, while in their secrets, it's the other way around. It's actually surprising how much the plot progresses for a slice of life anime, but it really did feel like the plot was going somewhere, instead of spinning around in circles. Which is the reason why it's not your run in a mill romcom anime. Art: 7 Nothing spectacular, but nothing to laugh about either. Although the overall animations were lacking, the character designs (except for Masamune) were unique and really showed their characters. Solid Sound: 7 Nothing really stands out as the "WOW OPENING OF THE YEAR DESU". But, the music does fit with the anime, so there's nothing to complain about. The opening, however, to me is pretty good. Characters: 8 Oh my, character development in a slice of life anime? Nani????!?!?! Yes, this show actually fleshes out its main characters, while not forgetting to develop it's side characters as well. The unique character interactions is really fun to watch, because they are not cardboard cutouts, you really can't predict what they are gonna do, like you can in most of these genres. Another thing, is Master one of the most unique character you have ever seen? lol. Overall: 8 There's no reason not to try this anime, it's funny, different, interesting, and just overall a pretty relaxing anime to watch.

Would've been a 10/10 but a certain character introduced around episode 9 pisses me off and just really makes it hard to watch this anime Random Text Random Text Random Text Random Text Random Text Random Text Random Text Random Text Random Text Random Text Random Text Random Text Random Text Random Text Random Text Random Text Random Text Random Text Random Text Random Text Random Text Random Text Random Text Random Text Random Text Random Text Random Text Random Text Random Text Random Text Random Text Random Text Random Text Random Text Random Text Random Text Random Text Random Text Random Text Random Text

Story: so it starts with a guy masmune who was walking to school one day and ends up find that the girl who basically gave him the nick name pig foot (MAL has it as "Piggy" which is wrong) so basically sense he found her he wants too get revenge on her for her dumping him for giving him the nickname and also for doing what see did too every guy that basically had nicknames (rude ones at that) placed apon them Art: art is very good nothing wrong with it Sound: OP and ED were meh at best would probably have 2 listen too them again before i like them or dont like them otherwise the sound was good. Character: Masamune is basically the male lead and narcissistic in a sense that he cares ALOT about hes looks and just about everything about him but he is easily a nice guy. Aki is basically the female lead and well a total bitch she is that and even more turning down any boy and well mocking the guys who asked her out and gave them nicknames. Neko is a supporting character and also loves Masamune she is a sweet and also cool girl. Yoshino another supporting character she is also the maid for aki but she does turn on her to help Masamune get revenge on aki she is a clumsy but a nice person. Enjoyment: so this anime was HELLA good in my honest opinion the comedy was pure gold and the characters were very good. my gripes were that the ending was just like WTF they basically had a karaoke to basically end it but when i thought she might kiss him nope and they still aren't going out so season 2 inbound spoilers incoming. (they basically ended it with him not getting revenge and even Masamune made it like a season 2 will happen so it better) Overall: giving this a 8 for sure again the ending was crap and is why its getting a 8 and not a 9 from me but the characters were so good and the comedy was pure gold a anime worth a watch (please let this anime have a season 2)

Ever had that one romance anime that you know is generic but at the start seems so promising but ended up being well generic, that's pretty much Masamune-Kun no Revenge for me. I'll try to keep this spoiler free Story:5 The story is pretty generic with a few touches here and there, it's not really good story wise, just your generic rom com with some drama added in the middle and it ends with again a generic ass ending. It's about Masamune a boy who is entering a specific high school for one reason, to get revenge on the girl who bullied him when he was a kid, this girl is named Adagaki Aki a cruel girl who rejects every single boy who wants to date her. That's pretty much the summary of the story it's nothing special at all. Art:8 If i have to give something positive it's the art, Silver Link did a really good job with the art, it's shiny, flashy and above all else really pretty to look at. Nothing to complain here Sound:6 It's ok, the OP and ED is pretty much your standard rom com OP and ED with a woman singing the OP and ED, the score also isn't special at all. Characters:5 They're your standard characters. The male MC Masamune is pretty decent with some things i found interesting, he's pretty much the best character other than one girl. The female MC Aki is not interesting at all, she's just your mean but smart waifu that has no boobs and ass. A character that i do find interesting is Yoshino, she's aki's maid and the only one she trusts. Yoshino has these traits that make her interesting like the fact that she can be a fucking assasin. The supporting cast is generic, that's it Enjoyment:6 I enjoyed it enough to the point of actually wanting to finish it, it's actually really disappointing at the end, that's all i can say Overall:5 Masamune-Kun no Revenge is just your standard middle of the road forgettable rom com, if you want to watch this expecting something gold, i hate to break it to you but all you're gonna find watching this is just disappointment if you're expecting something like Oregairu. But if you want to watch a middle of the road rom com this is it.

Beware of some mini-spoilers in this review. This anime left bad taste in my soul, almost every enjoyment got crushed with pathetic presence of main character and cheap comedy which is not even funny. OK, let's talk about positive sides first. the art is quite good, and the EP and ED song is very good, I like listening to it and don't skip it in every episode. Though our M protagonist and S princess are annoying as hell, there are some characters which is interesting too. Koiwai is the best (it.. it's not that I like inori minase or anything), her character are solid and her acting dumb is funny. I like neko as well, and she is not as mysterious as I think first, actually when progress with episodes I find that she is the most simplest and earnest character here. And that's all for the good parts, everything else are disaster. The story is quite promising at first, but sadly, the development is nowhere near fulfilling. The romantic and stupid events are all over the place, the main story itself is not progressing. There are no meaning of every single episode, it just show our masamune stupidity again and again. The S princess just like someone with brain damage and memory disorder, her behaviors are so random which is very annoying. To make it worse, instead of making the past events clear and show the result off this childish revenge, they decide to add half ass characters in the ending, which is neither interesting nor blend well with the story progression. In the end, this is not about revenge, it is just story of some random boy who pathetically chasing after beautiful girl with serious mental issues. For anyone who is interested in masochism and humiliation this anime will be entertaining. For me, I really regret finishing this pathetic comedy.

The problem with this anime is that it struggles to find it's own Identity. Is it a Comedy harem? A seinen romance? Or perhaps a psychological drama?! The anime had mixed and match sub genres that were in conflict with each other as they did not, nor could not mixed without adverse affects. Within this struggle are poorly developed characters that make no absolute sense, such as Fujinomiya - who represented the spontaneous insertion of harem as a sub genre. She and the characters were strangers and pretty much remained strangers by definition. Her backstory turned out to be anti-climatic, despite it having some potential, and frankly, her presence in the anime had no purpose, aside from trolling the audience. This redundancy with character traits and presence was a common sight in the anime. In fact all the characters can be summed up with one world - "horrendous". You had your basics set of Visual novel characters. The Himedere, the Kuudere, the sickly observer/lover, the energetic/popular girl, etc. That set up is fine if you get creative with it, but in this case nothing extra was added to their characteristics. Most anime modify these traits - for example a self-proclaimed rich girl who's father is actually bankrupt, or a cold-hearted girl who enjoys the company of domestic animals. In this anime we get all the default traits with the default back stories. The concept was great, but where it fell short was it's execution. It could have went down any route, but it crippled it's outcome - by choosing to make a story more suited for a Romance/Drama - into a cheesy comedy with unimaginative scenarios, and completely redundant characteristics - that obviously have the intent to amplify the comedy, but fail to do so. The story is honestly pathetic, with it taking short cuts to skip look dramatic build ups in exchange some progression. It's pretty much forced to since the comedy genre slows down progression and at times makes it stagnant . What personally ticked me off was the fact that whenever the opportunity to thicken the plot came around, they ruined it with a gag or just outright ignored it so they could progress onto a beach episode or school festival scene that just reiterated the same sections of the plot and character traits, such as the Main character's motives. The art wasn't that bad, nor are the special. The art is the sub standard 2 tone drawings with a bit of glow added in the few romance senses. It was simple with only basic creases outlined on characters and an environment that has minimal affects on the animation. I wasn't a fan of the over sized boobs, the clearly unrealistic uniform (which seemed to have no consistency) nor the comic comedy drawing style. The sound was decent - but again- nothing special. I liked the really audacious tune they played in sticky situations, but the rest again was sub standard and boring. Overall did I enjoy the anime? No. Will you? Most likely not. As a fan of comedy and an avid watcher of Romance anime, I can't advocate this to any anime veteran, considering how unoriginal it is. It seems like a nice starter for someone new to anime (If the understood Anime cliches and basic Japanese culture), but even then I can only imagine it putting them off anime or the romance genre. It's deceptive high school seems to be from it's heavy marketing (target at casual through something like Crunchy ads) and the appeal of it's synopsis (which likely has a few stubborn watchers on the defensive, as they wait for the plot to get better to tell the early sceptics "I told you so!")

Minor spoilers ahead Let me start off by saying that this anime had a promising premise, but the way the anime progresses and executed feels way to forced and rushed and produced one of the worst 'harem' anime. Story---5 I will admit, the first 5 episodes show that this anime might be promising. but later on I feel like Masamune forgets about the so called 'revenge' plan and Aki who is ruthless and will never date or fall for a man spontaneously having a crush on Masamune over some cliche. The worst thing is when 'he' (you know who I am talking about) comes towards the end and let me say that he is the most random character I have ever seen popping out in a anime in a very long time. Art--5 The art is mediocre, nothing special and it does not really stand out. It feels rushed at some parts and I can tell that there is a low budget later on towards the end. Sound--7 Surprisingly, I really liked the OST in the anime, and somehow it stands out for me when compared to other anime under the romance or harem category. The op gets a bit annoying after a few episodes but I never got sick of the two ending songs. Character--3 There is almost no character development except for one episode (episode 8) which is the only episode which actually surprised me for a increase in quality in terms of writing. Other than that, there is no 'in-depth' character development and I feel like the characters are forced to interact with each other or they all seem aware about the revenge plan, maybe it is just me. Enjoyment-6 It has a old, traditional anime vibe and feel from the 90's for some reason, which made me feel excited and can't wait a week for a new episode to be released. However, I lost interest in the last few episodes, especially the final episode which felt like a slap to my face and a manifestation of a headache. The last few episodes were really cringe. Overall--4 I must say, I was rather disappointed that the anime ended like that, especially how the series ends with a karaoke night which was filler. What really pissed me off what 'fake Masamune' is forgiven by Aki almost immediately like as if nothing happened, it is as if she is blind after her backlash in the previous episode. The anime is decent and what hurts is that Masamune kun no Revenge had high potential.

I have huge expectation for this anime coz it’s pretty popular, and the first 3 episodes are actually fun. But as episodes goes by, it gets very boring to watch. Story: 3/10 The story is centered around Makabe Masamune who is plotting to revenge against Adagaki Aki. That’s it. No serious plot twist or anything. Truth to be told, I think the story would be much better if the main heroine is Fujinomiya Neko. Art: 9/10 It’s very good. Characters are beautifully drawn. Backgrounds are lively as my backyard. Adagaki Aki is a candy to my eye. This is the only thing this anime could be proud of. Sound: 6/10 OP and ED songs actually fun to listen. But the background music in some scenes is almost nonexistent. Voice acting are also very plain. I think only Makabe’s voice actor did a good job. Character: 2/10 This one is too awful. A main character sucks. Masamune is an idiot. Adagaki is probably one of the worst tsundere I’ve ever seen. Supporting cast doesn’t do very well either. Not only that only fewer than 10 characters are introduced, all of them are very useless; with the exception of Fujinomiya Neko. For me, she is the best character in the series. Enjoyment: 6/10 Despite having an awful story and character development, this anime is quite enjoyable. Fan service are great in my opinion. Gags are sometimes fun. And the romance is sometimes sweet. Overall: 5/10 Wasted potential. But still a joy to watch if a simple romcom is enough to make you happy.

Masamune-kun in the Revenge had all the obnoxious points so that it was close enough for me to quit the anime for good. And guess what? The idiot here continued to force himself to watch because he had a tiny expectation that it would improve, but in the end it was a cluster of random episodes and extremely boring cliches that exuded the predictable in an uninterrupted and boring way. Holy shit, for the most part, you could predict what would happen in the next episode pretty much all based on what you saw before; It was ridiculous. The whole plot is more like a random set of OVAS, in which, some parts, will be surprisingly important in the plot. Actually, this was not supposed to be a novelty, most of the anime / manga that approach this annoying and saturated theme, always develop this way, but really, does not stop or tire of being impertinent to see. Visually, it's cute. The visual (environment) of the anime is pleasant, a pity that what the anime has to present does not follow this line ... The animation looked like it would be good, but it suffers a considerable loss of quality. And the soundtrack, nothing much. It does not disturb or help, basically. And now it is here that I lay all my eternal and profound repudiation of the anime; The characters, or rather the two protagonists. God, how horrible they are. In fact, their personality is that it is so hateful. Let's go in parts, first, Masamune: man, it's out of the ordinary, how fucking he is. To start with his goal, which almost completely outlines the plot. It is certain that even the anime itself does not give a seriousness to it, but seriously, it is so unbearably unbearable what it does because of this totally childish and superficial goal, rather than being funny, it is pathetic. He just did not give a fuck what was going on around him (mostly), because of a revenge he was supposed to have been in the past. But no, he holds an extremely strong and ultra relevant rancor because of a... rejection. Wow, it's really pathetic. And second, last, and definitely not least, Aki: I actually wondered, how the hell does one like it, even getting on a level to consider it a love. She has such a fucking boring and unpalatable ego. Why then, moe is not enough to make a character a person's love, okay? Well, let's face it, having a superiority complex so inflated to the point of tearing up a simple love letter, and putting on an embarrassing nickname and humiliating whoever is confessing, I think it's not very lovely... So, in the end, my relevant hate for anime is mainly due to the characters. If they were other than the two protagonists, I probably would have enjoyed the anime much more and would not give such a big deal to a totally boring, predictable, and meager storyline.

Not worth Watching Overall - 3 The starting was good. The way they brought up the story was just awesome but it didn't continue well. At first it kinda off looked like an interesting story because it brought up an new idea to the anime world, like how he will take revenge on her because she dumps people for her problems and also dumped the main character bcas he was fat and stuff. As she didn't understand the feeling of getting dumped, so that was the main character aim, but in my point of view the main story line of this anime was not good. i know i am contradicting but wasting all 12 episodes just to show how he will take his revenge ( In my opinion he will not take revenge on her instead he will love her ) is just stupid. The characters are not relatable in any way and one of the character is a boy who looks like a girl and acts like girl, gross. Anyhow the whole point is whether it entertained me or not, right ??? So a "BIG NO"

English Follows Japanese: このアニメを初めて見たのは違う影響していると思ったけど、確かに何も特に無いだった。普通の男子と周りの人みんな女子学生ばっかり。 それは確かに俺の好きなアニメでは無いだ。俺はもっとコミックや熱い力出すのアニメ好きから。 政宗くんのアニメ面白いと思って見たが、そんなに面白く無いもコミックセンスが無い。 残念だが、12エピソードは終わると全然意味が無い。何がレベンジなのか？全然レベンジが関係ないよ。 本当に馬鹿馬鹿しの物語。イケメンって言うもキャラクターも普通だった。 まー、一つの笑う事はカルロイ数のアイデアかも知れま無い。でも他のアニメも同様なアイデアがあったのは「ダンベル何キロ持てる」っていうのアニメの方が非常に面白うかった！！ なぜなら、カロリーの数方も面白うかった。あの運動する為にカロリー減らすだけではなく、全くジムの道具の正しく使い方も教えてきた。マジ良かっただ！ しかも、政宗くんのアニメ何も伝えて無いと思う。本当に意味が無い。マジ終わった後で考えると何も分かっていない。 物語： まーほかにはこのアニメが好きな理由がないと思う。。。微妙だ。そして、政宗のキャラクターはマジ馬鹿だろう。周りの女性たちいっぱいあるけど、彼はマジ頭がない。笑笑 本当にアニメのお終いの意味が分かっていない。それは見るだけわかるはずなので。単純言うと最初から最後まで何も分からないし、キャラクターもよく無いし、つまらないすぎ。 まとめると、俺そのアニメの物語全然興味がない。見たのきっかけはちょっと面白そうと思ったʅ（◞‿◟）ʃ でも実際に普通すぎるよ。！！！ 音楽： まま大丈夫けど、特に面白くない。 たのし事： 俺にとって何も楽しく無い 残念3倍とかなり多くと思う。。。 マジキッズアニメの方が面白うかった。。 This was my honest Review, please no hard feelings. But I personally did not like this anime and I think it is really normal.... それは俺のリビュー以上です〜╰(*´︶`*)╯♡ @~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@ ENGLISH FROM HERE I thought that the first time I saw this anime had a different effect, but it was certainly nothing in particular. Normal boys and people around me were all female students. It's certainly not my favorite anime. I like more comics and hot anime. I thought Masamune-kun's anime was interesting, but it wasn't so interesting, but I didn't have a sense of comics. Unfortunately, the 12 episodes are meaningless at the end. What is Revenge? Revenge doesn't matter at all. A really stupid story. The character was normal though it was called handsome. Well, one laugh may be the idea of ​​Carloy numbers. But the other anime had the same idea, the one with more dumbbells was much more interesting! !! Because a few calories were also interesting. Not only did I reduce calories because of that exercise, but I also taught how to use gym equipment properly. It was really good! Moreover, I think I didn't tell you anything about Masamune-kun's animation. It really doesn't make sense. When I think about it after I'm done, I don't understand anything. story: I don't think there is any other reason why I like this anime. . . It's subtle. And Masamune's character would be a serious idiot. There are many women around him, but he doesn't really have a head. LOL I really don't understand the end of anime. You should understand it just by looking at it. To put it simply, I don't know anything from the beginning to the end, the characters are not good, and it's too boring. In summary, I'm not interested in the anime story at all. I thought it was a little interesting to see it, but it's actually too ordinary. '(◞‿◟)' !! !! !! musics: It's okay, but it's not particularly interesting. Enjoyment: Nothing fun for me Unfortunately, I think it's three times as many. . . The Majikids anime was more interesting. . This was my honest Review, please no hard feelings. But I personally did not like this anime and I think it is really normal .... That's more than my review ~ ╰ (* ´︶` *) ╯ ♡

Masamune-kun no Revenge is by far one of the best romance animes I have seen. Now, bear with me here. Although people dislike it around the last parts, this anime cant be denied how well crafted it was performed. Besides having the newest animations, music, and characters that resemble your anime favorites, this show ties together both HUMOR and drama in a way that is rarely shown. My god, this anime's romance-struggle was a real cliff hanger, and it only gets better with the plot twist. Truly a fun and thought provoking anime about love. Although Masamune no Kun Revenge was done before the manga ended, and with its standard 12 episode series, this anime still holds a place in my heart for how satisfying it was to watch, even if it left us with a few questions. I say, not every anime should be allowed to give us all we want. The other movie[ Byousoku 5 Centimeter] taught us that not all things in the real world get resolved. This anime deserves to be watched. The enjoyment outweighs your stubborn flaws.

MAY CONTAIN SLIGHT SPOILERS Well, this is going to be my first review and the reason for me writing this is because I'm feeling really in need to talk about this show. Sorry for any English grammar issues that may show up throughout this review. Initially I thought this was going to be one of those cliche anime where the main character manages to "change" that cold, quiet and proud girl who, at first, doesn't like him but as the anime goes on, she starts to fall in love with him. Well this isn't entirely false but as I watched this show, I realized that it was kind of different. Masamune isn't your everyday school type anime protagonist. He is actually a handsome guy who is very popular in school and even though he could get pretty much any girl he wanted, he is obsessed with his revenge on Adagaki Aki. The whole anime develops around that. Now I don't really want to talk about the plot itself but about my thoughts of what was missing and what was too much in this anime. I really loved the concept of Masamune being a good looking guy after his terrible experiences in the past for being fat. He was bullied and supposedly rejected by his childhood love (Adagaki Aki). He worked very hard to change his appearance and to become the perfect kind of person you would date. It's really annoying the whole revenge thing because at certain points it really looks like he is in love with Adagaki-san, not just for her but even for the viewers. I think the story is kind of stuck in the same concept and that prevents it from developing. I really loved like the first 4 or 5 episodes. Because the relation between the two main characters seemed to be making sense. But then, all of a sudden, the plot turns and we're back at the start. They seem to become more and more distant. Conversations that you'd expect to happen don't happen and the whole thing just gets weird. Then another character shows up and "steals" Adagaki's heart, as well as Masamune's identity. For some reason the main character doesn't seem to be much bothered about this and nothing really happens. Maybe it's just me being unsatisfied by the fact that the story was getting weirder, simply because the characters wouldn't do what I was expecting, or what would be expected in a romance anime. Also what the hell was that ending? Seriously the whole karaoke thing didn't make any sense. That last sheet of paper was, probably, an opening for a future 2nd season or ova. But seriously if the story doesn't start developing I don't see any reason to keep watching it. I know this is mostly a negative review which contrasts with the score I gave. The thing is, I'm just really sad and unsatisfied with the plot, I was expecting it to be a little deeper. The whole concept, animations, and characters were very good, soundtrack was OK, but I just feel that there's something missing. I did not read the Manga but from the reviews I saw it really is better and deeper than the anime. So if you're either planning to watch this show, or, like me, unsatisfied with it, I highly recommend you to read the manga. Overall it's not a bad show and you actually get attracted and familiarized with it's characters and story. I've seen the most various opinions about "Masamune-kun no Revenge" so go ahead, watch it and take your own conclusions. I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy it, even if slightly.

I'm gonna try to keep this short and sweet This anime had the premise to develop an amazing story; however, they under-delivered... It feels as though somewhere along the way the director (or whoever was charge of production) lose sight of the direction they wanted to take. Nevertheless, it produced aspects of comedic behaviour, which allowed viewers to adjust to the anime. In my opinion, though, they still managed to create properties of depth, even if they lacked the ability to accomplish what they wanted,; the overall journey to it was full of gag comedy that provided some balance to the deficit left by the closing of the story. On the other hand, the transition between love and revenge was much too quick, which made them unable to clearly navigate, rendering it useless to actually develop an end that was befitting the story... Thus why it ended ambiguously with karaoke -this also was reflected on the fact that they attempted fan service of aki and neko. Which ultimately failed (opinion, really?) I wouldn't expect a sequel in the short term, so anyone still interested should move on to the manga

Did you ever have thoughts of wanting to get revenge on the bullies you had in school? What if you planned what you were going to do since you were a very little child, working overly hard to become a very popular handsome/beautiful person to where the other person wouldn’t recognize you? This is sort of the premise of this show and I have to say that I am a little disappointed. With how short the show is, we are barely given any information on what exactly happened to make our main character, Masamune, want to seek revenge outside the idea that she called him a ‘Pig’s Foot’ because of his looks and weight when he was just a child. We are given a hint there is more to the story then what we are told but never given a answer to our question. Let’s break down the show a little bit. The characters seem to be rather typical in personality although it was sort of a nice change having our main character be more narcissistic. Masamune is mostly a one beat character, very obsessed with his looks and the revenge he wanted to exact on Aki. While he does show signs of being kind and caring, I found I had a hard time liking him. I myself was teased for my weight but his revenge plan seems as though it would be way too harsh for a woman. His plan was to make her fall in love with him, then ditch her. His plan doesn’t even change when he finds that she doesn’t trust any guy out there, he doesn’t even question why she can’t trust them. This goes again into my past and people trying to use me for things only to suddenly turn on me. Because of that, I’m pretty annoyed when revenge is based on someone’s emotions. As the anime went on, I did start to see his own charms but the show wasn’t long enough for me to actually love him as a main character. While I did not like Masamune much, I had a similar feeling for Aki being a rather stuck up rich girl. There have been other stuck up rich girls in anime who’s personality was similar to this tsundere princess but the anime didn’t give me much reason to understand why she was like that. They spent so much time on Masamune and how he was trying to get revenge that when we got to a point that we were starting to understand Aki, we didn’t have much time. It’s only a 12 episode show and definitely did not have enough focus on who should have been our main female lead while other background characters seemed to get most of the screen time for their backgrounds. The animation is pretty good but very basic. If you look at any other anime that came out around the time this one did, you will find that came out in 2017 this year, it just looks very similar to every other show. Bright colors, clean lines, similar drawing styles for the faces and so on. I don’t really have much to talk about with the animation; it’s basically like any other Romantic Comedy. I do have to bring one thing up though, what is with making the best friend a girly looking guy in these sometimes? I kept looking at Masamune’s best friend, Kojuro, and I kept asking myself if he was actually a guy. They designed him rather girly which I do understand is one of the jokes of the show, but did nothing for the plot. Maybe if they do a second season, we can understand him better but as it was, it was only a strange side thing that felt like fan service for yaoi fans. The voice acting is pretty good with most of the characters voiced by Funimations’s super stars. Monica Rial has played characters in 27 other shows (as of this review and the list on Wiki) during 2017 and this was one of them. While I am glad she was acting as more of a supporting role to the two who should have been out mains, her delivery of her lines made Yoshino Koiwai sound more like a robot then a human which made me roll my eyes. Josh Grelle voiced Masamune and gave a rather good self centered delivery of lines and Morgan Garrett as Aki gave a good stuck up voice but as I couldn’t feel for the characters as much as I wanted to because of their lack of drive, I found myself thinking they were pretty generic. So what did I think of this show? Basic. It’s good if you want to watch the present triumphs and fails of the characters but it definitely does not spend enough time giving any sort of background to them more makes you feel much for whom we should be rooting for. The anime is just way too short to give us any sort of ending (probably because the manga isn’t even finished) nor does it give us enough time to understand exactly what happened between Masamune and Aki. With no second season that I have heard about coming in the near future, we are given an ending that says ‘read the manga for the answer’ and I have always hated that. Lots of manga based anime that do the whole read the manga ending don’t actually have a manga that is easy to find translated or even outside of Japan. I searched forever for the Ghost Hunt manga to give me an ending and answers I wanted. If you're fine with open endings then it's okay to watch or if you're already a fan of the manga but if not, you would be better off reading the manga I think.

If one doesn't know the manga's development of what happens after the anime ending, it is understandable why many people are left with a sour taste in one's mouth. TLDR: If you don't like content that's not complete, or has little to no content for future sequels, DO NOT WATCH THIS. You will be extremely disappointed. However if you don't mind waiting for how the situation is currently resolved in the manga, give this a try. *obvious spoilers ahead* Story (7): The rating of a 7 given to the anime is extremely generous and could have been much worse. My rating is perhaps affected by my knowledge of what happens after the anime ending, which resolves a lot of the complications left unanswered at the end of the anime ending. The story is a typical ROM-COM with a slight twist to it, where a previously chubby boy, turned hunk, is trying to get revenge on a girl who rejects him. People who didn't read the manga will not understand what truly happened *wink wink* and the story created by the mangaka is decent. However, I must agree that the studio's aim to have an open-ended ending is somewhat naive, considering there is not enough manga chapters to develop a full season 2. If one was to take the anime at face value, without looking forward to how the complications in the manga, I would have given the story a far worse rating. Art(7): Just the typical art standards. Nothing much to evaluate. Sound (6): The OP and ED are not the most memorable, but still enjoyable to listen to. I usually only listen to the really good and catchy OP and ED's. Character(7): All the character analysis is just analysed based on the anime, and not the further development in the manga. Masamune Makabe is just your typical high-school hot-looking dude, with some slight distinctions from the generic character. He is nothing that special. Adagaki Aki is your rich, spoiled girl, who many may consider as the typical "tsundere". Fujinomiya, Neko is an interesting character, and even the MC himself wants to fall in love with her. The problem is that apparently Neko is not "serious" about falling in love, and rather wanted to just "try falling in love". Also, there wasn't a large development of her relationship with Masamune, except a brief insight that they knew each other when they were extremely young (just like Adagaki Aki). Yoshino ironically also is an interesting character, because she is extremely elusive. It is extremely hard to evaluate her without talking about the manga, because the manga has GODDAMN good development about what happened 8 years ago. The anime itself has your standard characters, and their standard developments, but the manga itself is where we see the true nature of the characters. Enjoyment (6): Watching this anime was sometimes extremely boring because of "filler content". One good example is Episode 12, where they spent half the episode for karaoke. It was not that I didn't like it, it's just that it felt like it was just put in there to pad run time. There are many other scenes that pad the run time, but this one was the most prominent. Overall (7): If one just evaluates the anime by itself, I can understand why the community has such intense dislike for this anime due to its open-ended ending. I too was disappointed at the end of the anime and it is heavily implied there will be a second season, or at least some OVAs to finish it off (considering how little content there is). It also seemed very naive for the studio to assume they can just start a second season, when the manga has barely anything to produce with. If anyone wants to know what happens after the anime ending, the manga so far has solved a lot of the complications, and perhaps it is why I didn't evaluate this anime as harshly because of the decent development in the manga. The manga is also being released irregularly, and the latest chapter has some weird "cliffhanger". Nevertheless, I would still give this anime a try and read the manga up to the latest chapter, because it resolves a lot of complications left unanswered in the anime. Even if there is a second season, I would not expect it until 2018 or 2019, because there is not enough close to enough content to adapt.

The premise of this anime was so intimate to me because I have been through the stage of "being hated for your body and trying to change it" except that I don't share the same objectif as Masamune. We have all been wanting to change for a reason, and we all think it's fun and good watching someone achieve their goals. Except that this anime failed MISERABLY in SO MANY LEVELS. Let's dig in the review. Story : Masamune is a boy who was overweight in his childhood, and got rejected by Adagaki Aki who rejects every single boy. He wants his revenge. He lose weight and come as a handsome guy, wanting to make her fall in love with him and then break her heart. We all watch him climb the stairs slowly but surely. We even climb with him. But after episode 6 or 7, we fall to our face. And we keep on falling. You thought it ended there, nope, more falling for you, and in the last episode, you get a shot in the head. CONGRATULATIONS! Seriously, the story takes another turn midway. "Let's add a rival to the MC" they said, "Let's make Adagaki's perspective change" they said, "It will be alright and fun" they said. Well, the anime ended in a karaoke party, the MC wasn't even in the third stage of his plan. No resolution, nothing. We were left flat. I remember looking at the screen for two minutes after it ended. "WAIT MAYBE IT'S A PROMISE FOR A 2ND SEASON?" LIKE HELL I CARE! A SEASON SHOULD BE SATISFYING IN ITS OWN TO MAKE VIEWERS WANT TO WATCH THE 2ND ONE. IT'S NOT A DETECTIVE CONAN EPISODE. Art 7/10 : The animation was fluid with some beautiful background sceneries, but nothing over the top or excelling. Easy on the eye. Sound 6/10 : I always watch the opening once, if it's good (I'm looking at you Youjo Senki !) then I make sure to listen to some of it before skipping, but if it's not memorable, then SKIPPING is my BFF. That is the case. The OSTs are nothing memorable, too, they serve their purpose if nothing else. Character 6/10 : No development. None at all. Shallow characters with almost no background story (except for Masamune). Also, can someone tell me the purpose of that Loli mom? IT'S SO EMBARRASSING SHE'S 1/3 THE CHARACTER'S HEIGHT. She's there just to cook and for comedic relief. Enjoyment 5/10: I looked forward to this series in the beginning, but since that downfall, I basically put it on hold until I had nothing else to do and finished it like a chore. Nonetheless, the comedy was somewhat acceptable. Overall 6/10: (It's literally 5.8). I'm hesitant to watch the 2nd season of this if they decided to do it because I don't want a poor ending again and a waste of my time, and, if your anime left this impression on the viewer then you know you failed somewhere.
