We Never Learn: BOKUBEN

I really enjoyed this anime. Harems can be a hit or miss but this one definitely hit it out of the park. Story: With the story we have a mc who does decent enough in all his studies. Decent enough to be tasked with the job to tutor 2 girls in subjects they have trouble with. We have kind of a childhood friend also join his tutoring group and later a loli senpai. There is also a tsundere teacher who was a tutor for the first two girls but gave up. The story is basically a slice of life about the mc and his time with each of the girls. Art: Art is good! Each of the characters looked good. Sound: Sound was also exceptional. The voice acting for each character was a good match. OP and ending song was catchy too as well as the music played in an episode. Character: All the characters were awesome. In a harem anime, there is usually one girl you like more than the others that you want to win in the end but I personally dont have a character like that for this series. Each of the girls are charming and enjoyable to watch. The mc is a classic harem mc. He is nice and smart enough but other than that, there is nothing really special about him. Enjoyment, Overall: Overall it was a great series. I highly recommend to people who just want to watch a chill anime that has touching moments that is also really funny. I am excited for a season 2!

This is so bad that I had to watch it to the end because it could only get better. Short summary: inconsistent plot, badly drawn characters, sometimes funny, but most of the times trying to be funny without success. The main theme is: girl inadvertently exposing their underwear and private parts. It's funny if it happens once in a series. Twice per episode is not funny. I have nothing about boobs, but you can't make a show about them and call it "romance comedy". Yet some characters can be saved, and the final episode does its job, but that's not enough.

Bokutachi wa Benkyou ga Dekinai is about as shallow as an anime can be. It's a school harem...and...well...that's about it. It follows a MC as he tutors three girls. The MC himself, is good at studying, shy and blushes at everything. Girl #1 is cute and shy and blushes at everything, girl #2 is cute and shy and blushes at everything, oh and girl #3 is cute and shy and blushes at everything. And just to change things up, his young teacher also makes an appearance, she's cute and shy and blushes at everything. The shows entire driving force is to move between one misconception to another for them all to overreact to - girl moves, MC has accidental boob touch - girl falls, MC touches hands - someone changing, MC walks in - girls talk about bra size, everyone blushes - MC says something, girl thinks he's talking about something else, blushing - MC has indirect kiss, more blushing. So on and so forth ad-nauseum. Each episode inches along only as a vehicle to set up another moronic reason for them to freak out, go red and embarrassed. The show is nonsense. It has no plot, none of the characters have any personality. The overreactions are mindless and the coincidences incredible. If the art style or jokes were better then it might have made some kind of difference, but as it stands, Bokutachi wa Benkyou ga Dekinai is a low point of the genre.

So, basically Go-Toubun again? Sounds good to me... We Can't Study is... well, it's hardly original, we can say that much. Those who followed Winter 2019's Go-Toubun no Hanayome will find the premise eerily familiar - although in truth neither manga is 'ripping off' the other, as they started serialisation at pretty much the same time and the authors are known to be friends. Despite the surface similarities, however, BokuBen takes itself in much more of a lighthearted direction, with the focus on comedy, character gags and unlikely conicidences rather than Go-Toubun's heavy character drama... ...which meant this was always going to have to do a lot of work to distinguish itself from any of the other gag-driven harem rom-coms out there. Did it succeed? Well, kinda sorta. The show's not doing anything new, and anyone who's ever seen... erm, anything at all before will be able to predict the story beats as they happen. You could almost tick off the story devices on a sheet of harem comedy bingo. But, despite that, it executes on these well. The characters are familiar - but charming and with a spark of life that endears them to us. The jokes are classic - but they land with superb comic timing, leaving us laughing along rather than at the show. The romance is by-the-numbers - but hey, if it ain't broke don't fix it, right? So just a basic harem comedy that pulls off the basics well, with nothing to stand out? No, not that either. BokuBen has one massive advantage over its competitors - and I'm not talking about the show's loyal manga fanbase. The sound design on this show is, quite honestly, incredible. I've never seen - sorry, never heard - anything like it. Once you notice it, it's impossible not to keep on noticing and appreciating how much work has been put in. The soundtrack is part of it, with a dizzying array of background tracks all used to their fullest extent to enhance a mood or cut out to emphasise a point. The voice acting is part of it, with strong performances all round and incredible direction making the most of the VAs' talents. But it's most noticable in the sound effects, where the attention to detail is like nothing else. When two characters fall into a pool, there's two splashes. When one character is in wooden sandals and the other is in sneakers, we hear both the clop of wood and the squeak of rubber. When someone twists their ankle, there's a crunch that makes you wince in sympathy. I'd have followed - and liked - this show just based on the strength of its manga, and I'd have been pleasantly surprised with the adaptation based on the visuals and direction. But the sound design has raised BokuBen into my AOTS, and an unexpected delight every Saturday. I'll be keeping a lookout for sound director Motoyama Satoshi's next work - my hat off to him and his team. Ufotable and KyoAni shows may be a feast for the eyes, but if you want a treat for the ears, give BokuBen a go.

I would say, first and foremost, that if you like Slice of Life and Romance, this is definitely something that's worthwhile watching! This anime has a surprisingly strong well-written story! Just like most harem shows, it gets a lot of uncalled for hate. What I found really special, is that in this anime, teach is explicitly up for grabs! That's right, you read it! The super cute pink-haired young sensei is very much a part of the harem. In a lot of anime series out there, if you actually go read the manga or play the visual novel (if it even has one) having a teacher route is actually quite common. But you don't see that a lot in anime, that's for sure! By the end of season 1, it's pretty obvious that Uruka is the girl who's going to win. Which is precisely how the manga ended. I don't mind spoiling it, as I don't believe spoiler-protection should be applied to stories that ended years ago. You see, Uruka very obviously got the best moments written for her with Yuiga. By the ending of episode 8, it became crystal clear that she's the one. Also, she's the only girl that Yuiga clearly caught the feels for, during this season. Although Fumino Furuhashi definitely achieved some very tall peaks with our MC, in this season. It's actually quite a shame for Fumino, in my opinion. Her, and poor Kirisu-sensei, who really deserves some love :'( As for Ogata and Asumi - who came last and kinda late - it was obvious that their routes are pretty much dead. Ogata had that one kiss in the mountain moment, and that's the last time we saw her doing anything. To the point that if you have two brain cells to rub together you get the clue that she fulfilled her role in the harem.

Rather nice as an anime! After following it through its entire post, I can say I had a great time in front of it. The characters may seem a bit of a boat but are really nice and have a character and a story of their own but it is mostly developed at the end. The development of their relationship is really cool to see. The comedy and romance are well put together making the anime easy to watch. The graphics and OST are not gross and I am in awe of the opening which has really beautiful shots thanks to its animation! The anime also sends a powerful, although common, message that you shouldn't give up on your dreams no matter what others say. A common message but giving determination! The final episode is not really different from the others but it is understandable since it teases the season 2 which was announced and suddenly it is rather nice: D Summary: Pleasant comedy and romance and a cool storyline with a strong message of determination.

This past month I've been watching a lot of rom coms and harem anime, and I have to say, We Never Learn had one of the weakest starts out of all of them. The premise isn't overly interesting, and the first couple episodes only really exist to introduce the characters. Luckily, the characters developed in a way that made this show quite enjoyable in the end. Story 6: Definitely the show's weakest category, the overarching plot is basically Yuiga (MC) is poor as fuck and needs to get a special recommendation from his school so he can get a full-ride to the university of his choice. In order to get this recommendation, he has to teach geniuses in subjects that they suck at, to help them get into the universities they want to attend. It's kinda unique, but at the same time the series is mainly done episodically, very few episodes directly impact later episodes, however a large handful of the individual episodes' plots are actually pretty decent. Art 8: Really solid all around, and keeps a nice consistency. Certain shows like Nisekoi, have scenes that are animated incredibly well, but then they have other scenes that clearly had little to no time put into them. It was nice having something a bit more consistent in the animation quality. Sound 7: OP was pretty solid, and none of the VA cast annoyed me. Character 9: Definitely the shining point for this show. When first introduced, Fumino seems like the shy type, whose overly impressionable, and Rizu seems like the brash and insensitive type, whose overly assertive. However, once those characters have time to show their true colors, you'll find that those descriptions fit better when flipped for the two girls. Fumino doesn't take most things at face value; she's typically the character who realizes that a misunderstanding might take place, and is assertive in steering the conversation in a way to avoid it. Rizu is insecure due to her inability to read other people's emotions, which is commonly mistaken for her being overly assertive. Asumi and Uruka are both solid characters as well. Ms Kirisu is definitely the least developed of the harem cast, but she's not an awful character. Last part on the girls, I didn't really care for any of them when they were introduced, especially Uruka, but over the course of a few episodes, they really developed and became characters that were enjoyable to watch. The harem dynamic can only function if the MC falls into one of three categories; oblivious idiot MC - this MC is too stupidly oblivious too see that all the girls in his life are fawning over him (Raku from Nisekoi); uninterested in love MC - this character is typically aware that multiple girls have feelings for him, but his lack of interest in love keeps them at bay, and he has no desire to change the status quo due to his disinterest for love (Kodako from Haganai: I don't have many friends); harem king MC - this MC wants a harem and he's usually a massive pervert (Issei from High School DXD). Yuiga is interesting because he falls into two of the harem MC categories; he is both the "oblivious idiot MC" and the "uninterested in love MC". This is interesting, because he doesn't fit either category perfectly; Yuiga isn't completely disinterested in love: he just wants to focus on his studies until entrance exams, and he isn't completely oblivious: if enough of the pieces are put in front of him, he's more than capable of putting things together. The harem cast also works really well to support Yuiga, as none of them are overly affectionate. The fact that almost everyone in the harem wants to maintain the status quo causes this show to feel less like a harem, and more like your typically rom-com, just multiple girls happen to develop feelings for the same guy. Enjoyment 8: It's touch and go for some episodes, but overall, the characters and how they interact was what really made this an enjoyable watch. I've been watching rom-coms to focus on studying character arcs to help the novel I'm currently working on, and this show in particular gave me a fair bit of inspiration through its characters. Overall 8: If you're looking for something with a deep, breathtaking story, then don't waste your time here, but if you want to watch a harem anime with a cast of well-written, dynamic, cute girls then this is definitely for you.

It's Very Entertaining. This is one of those anime that you watch to lighten up your mood and forget all the bad stuff about your life. I suggest you give it a try. Despite its harem tag, it's a very enjoyable anime. Story(8/10)- This not one of the anime that you watch for the story. Rather it's for the enjoyment. But the story is good. In a good way, it's very much different from other harem anime. It does get annoying with the classing harem tropes but the comedy balanced it really well. All the characters get together and do enjoyable and funny stuff together. But I felt the pacing was a bit off. The story gets interesting whenever a new character is introduced. After a few events regarding that character it starts to become very slow. I personally felt there was some confusion as to what new things to do with the new characters. Art(8/10)- This anime is very pretty. The character look very neat and the environment is pretty good too. The face animations during comedic scenes are very cute and suits the tone of the story. Sound(8/10)- The VA is really nice. All the various emotions are conveyed really well. The opening and ending are alright. Characters(9/10)- This is where this anime shines. The personalities of the characters are somehow refreshing relative to other harems although you can guess each character's personalities from their looks. None of the characters are annoying. They are vary likable and you will mostly end up caring for them. Conclusion(8/10)- This was a delight to watch. Very enjoyable. Highly Recommend it.

For a classic RomCom, this anime doesn't do too bad compared to the other competitors in the genre. For me however, nothing really stood out in this anime even though I did somewhat enjoy it. Story 4/10 For a RomCom, the story is there but is quite lackluster in my opinion. And while the story doesn't always have to be the main focus as this is also a slice of life, there are small story arcs scattered throughout the anime which I believe are sometimes poorly done. Nevertheless, the score for story shouldn't really affect much about this anime. Art 7/10 The art was above average compared to some of the other monstrosities that aired this season **COUGH** Kenja no Mago. It was bright and colourful at the very least and I didn't find the animation to be jarring in many areas for it to be considered an issue. Sound 5/10 While the voice acting was done very well, the anime is let down by its unmemorable OSTs. While the music will generally suit the tone of the scene, none of them were powerful in any way and did not "enhance" my experience (if you will). Ain't no Hiroyuki Sawano going on here. Character 7/10 Look, the characters whilst sticking to the RomCom archetypes, were actually done decently. They all generally had depth and I found that all of the characters were generally likeable. No real problems here. Maybe some uninspired personalities but nothing too bad. Enjoyment 8/10 Despite what I wrote above, I still found this anime to be quite enjoyable. Its good and helps take your mind off things in life, as any anime of this genre should do. Maybe since I'd read the source material, it might have made me enjoy it a bit more. Overall 7/10 The anime overall was actually done quite well, while I would not have given it an 8 (Good anime) it was very close to reaching this standard and just suffered from a few issues above. The lack of story and weak OSTs really hit the rating hard for me. Would still recommend it to people who are interested in RomComs though, you won't be disappointed as long as you don't go in expecting God's work.

[Spoiler free Review] This is your typical harem/ light novel route anime that exist so much nowadays. If thats all you wanted to know then you should stop reading [HERE] Otherwise if you still are interested you should continue down here ↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓ now after that cancerous looking setup, illl get onto the review. Bokutachi wa Benkyou ga Dekinai or "We Never Learn" follows the story of the young high school boy Yuiga that comes from a financially troubled family and has too teach 3 girls that excel in certain topics but have a horrifying grade in others so he can get free college funding. Its pretty much you typical high school setup without any edginess (thank Þór for that). The art is bright simple and warms the heart and the show has a pretty satisfying looking CGI blended opening without the song being anything special. On the topic of sounds its pretty basic all things considered but it felt comfy so ill let it slide vs the sword art online style of sounds. The characters are all and well and Yuiga the dense mf he is has the options of (In personal preferred order) 1. Kirisu the totally kinky teacher. // 2. Furuhashi The living thesaurus // 3. Ogata the 5318008 math goddess. // 4. Takemoto The Baywatch babe. // 5. And Kominami the medical maid.

First of all after watching more than 750 anime with their sequels i consider myself as an anime lover, and my best genre is romance, and i am not from the type to be satisfied easily, i won't give any spoilers or talk about the plot or the story to not ruin it for anyone who sees the review, from the rating i expected another dull romance comedy with school themed but i was surprised really it was enjoyable from the start to the ending with a lot of funny moments even that i don't 100% understand the Japanese humor since i am not Japanese but i really enjoyed the show and i am really satisfied with it to write this review and say that it's rating is too under-rated and i hope the second season will be with the same quality and that's all i want to say.

Story: 5/10 What can I say? I have watched lots of harem and I know how they work. More and less, it is easy to describe and predict the movements of the series. And Bokuben has not surprise me a lot. I like some of its parts and characters. But from further, I can not say what could they do to bettering the anime. I mean, it is not bad at all, but the story that Bokuben say to me I have watched it in lots of different places. Something I dislike about the story was the situation. Bobuken tend to exaggerate their scenes and put the characters in not common situations. Even If the series do that, is okay if the know how to development it in a good way. But Bokuben does not do that, it uses a lot of repeated situations that everybody has watched. For example, the restroom, see the female characters with a few of clothes, an involuter kiss, etc. Art: 7/10 For me, the art was great in specific situations but so fair in the normal situations. When the anime tries to express an emotion to us, the art does a great job. The expressions of the characters become more vivid and expressional xd. It is important to send the feeling of the characters and I think that the series do that part. But when they draw a background or a scene, the image is normal, nothing more than the mean. Sound: 7/10 The sound, like the art, is great for the situations and the characters voices, but when we talk about the background sound, are different things. I think that a good point was the voice actors of the girls. The voice covers the type of personality that characters could have, and the voices were so great. You can see this with Fumino and his potential noises xd. The background music was okay, but I do not feel it in important scenes, and it does not make me feel anything. Characters: 6/10 I cannot say good think about the characters. It seems to me so cliche and boring except for Fumuni. The protagonist is the same characters that I have watched in lots of harem animes. He has a lot of things that make him a chicle. He is kind with the girls, helps when it is need and bla bla bla. He is not a human, he is just a character written in paper. But and after watching the final episode I can see that he has a good future. I mean, he can reach more and evolve in a good constructed character. The other girls like Ogata, Takemoto, and Kirisu-sensei has a lot of problems in their feelings developments. It is like for magic they will love or like the protagonists. They feel empty. In fact, the anime has forgotten about Ogata. I have not seen her in long time. And even in the final episode they were like mere argumental objects that only appear to say that still alive. But and it is something that I can presume, is Fumino. Indeed, Fumino feels like a person. She feels, analyses, understand the situations. She will not love the protagonist for magic, she has a constructed argument that make her be her. It cannot understand why if the serie can make characters like Fumino, for the other girls it is not the same. And after watched the final episode, I can say that Fumino is that shining star in this black night. Her construction and spoilers were so great. And hers feels has a lot of potential, more in this type of series. I don’t mention the senpai Kominami because I do not know her to say something about. Enjoyment 7/10 I said. The serie has good intention but make the same errors that lots of harem animes has done. I enjoy the serie as a watcher of the anime, but I will not re-watch or recommend it because it does not give me a lot of good moments of memorable things. Overall 6/10 It is said. This anime lacks argument, character’s construction, good or funny situations. Even if it makes some excellent points, it does not compensate the bad things. I hope that with this base and the characters they have now, can reach something better in the second season.

Well, I can't remember the last time I found a Romcom that I actually really enjoyed. I usually like romcoms, but this one is one of the better ones imo. And I rarely give 8 or more to seasonal shows. Now first, the bad stuff, I don't know if the art of the show is for everyone, I really liked it tho and it's consistent during the entire season. The show is pretty safe and it doesn't have anything innovative and it has it's fair share of cliches. The soundtrack is meh. It is a harem, something that not everyone likes, but I have to add that it avoids most of the commons cliches of this genres. Most of the cliches of this show are around some classic "events" that happens in most SoL or romantic shows. The plot is a romcom, don't expect more than that. Now, the good stuff: Characters and their development, I actually liked all the characters and all of them get screen time. They have a pretty natural progress and they never felt like they were acting out of place. All of them got some backstory to some extend, all of them matured or changed during the season to some extend without loosing their personality and they all have some kind of goal. The MC actually seems to act like a guy, he also gets development and he matures a bit during the season. That is a huge plus in these kind of shows for me. The animation is great, everything is fluid during the entire season. Despite being a harem, we don't get almost none jealousy cliche scene and even those aren't exaggerated as the usual. Despite being a romcom, the show has the subplot of the girls trying to achive some goal, that is also something that I like that breaks a bit the constant flow of romance and it makes the show more interesting to me. Overrall, if you like romcoms with a pretty casual story with well developed characters that act in a pretty natural way I think you should give it a show. The show was interesting from the beginning to the end and it actually improved after a couple episodes, something not that common in this kind of genre. So yeah, if you like anything of what I said I think you should try it.

"WE NEVER LEARN" Genre- School, Comedy, Harem, Slice of Life. Genius is a term given to a person who excels at stuff that most people their age would have a problem with. These are the people who rank higher in the class of society due to their mysterious gifts of intellect and talent. They are the people judged and criticized by society due to the fantastic ability that they have but, what about a will of their own, would their wish be different from that of the society that tells them what to and what to become? Welcome, to an anime where the story depicts to you the comedy and romance-filled life of a high-school student who is given a normal life until the day he is made to tutor the two best geniuses that the school has to offer. Throughout, the universe of anime, there have been many that tell you a story of an everyday high-school student, but the story shown here has a little kick and a more romantic and lewd punch to it. A student who is dirt poor even to afford the tuition and the fees of the college that he wishes to go to is now aiming for the time when he gets the Special VIP recommendation from his school, this is an offer that lets the student transfer to a college of his/her choice where the school pays the whole fee of the tuition and the college for the particular student. Our main protagonist here actually gets the VIP recommendation but the only catch here is that he must help tutor the two genius so that they can get into the college of their choice. Why would a genius require a tutor though? Well, that is something that you must find out for yourself. The main plot here is entertaining as here the clique story is mixed in with the kick from all the everyday life circumstances that surround the students and their different lifestyles. This fact alone takes the anime to a whole other level making it more interesting to watch. Of course not to forget all the romantic and lewd scenes here too make a difference to it keeping the anime on a whole different level from that of "The Quintessential Quintuplets" and "Mayo Chiki." On the technical aspects of it, the animation is pretty fluid making the anime more realistic and appealing. Also, let's not forget the character development in the anime is pretty solid but, in the later phase of the anime the two geniuses and the main protagonist do not make much of a development in their romantic life but the others make it pretty far, but this again only raises our hope as there is more to look forward to in its second season. This anime is absolutely a "MUST WATCH."
animastic_24x7
Well, this anime is a bit different from other anime, I have seen so far. Here the plot focuses on studying which we hardly find in any of the anime now a days. It is quite similar "The Quintessential Quintuplets". the difference is between the student the MC had to tutor and their personal attitude. There are lot of similarities in both the anime like both the MC is poor and forced to tutor other students. Both the anime contain the harem and comedy scenes quite similar to each other. If you like any one of them, you would definitely like the other one. So binge watch it.

There really are lots of bad romcoms around, some of them fail to make you like the characters and others just feel boring as hell, but "we never learn" is different. The story feels fluid and even though there are lots of cliches it isn´t predictable or boring. The cast interactions are very funny and all the characters work very well together. As individuals the main cast feels a bit fake and too idealistic but all of the female characters have their uniqueness and their thoughts and acts feel real according to their personalities. Yuiga is a good main character, he does what you expect him to but ends up surprising some times. Another very positive point of the main cast is that they dodged the cliche of the girls blaming the boy always and that makes the cast feel unique and a bit lighter and funnier to watch. Now looking at it individually, Fumino and Uruka were better developed than Rizu. The beginning was focused on Rizu but she ended up too shallow, her dream of becoming a doctor is not as touching as Fumino´s and she is not as well developed emotionally as Uruka, which ended up surprising a lot. Uruka seemed at first to me as a supporting boring character but she turned out to be funny and cute, her interactions and dialogues with Nariyuki were great and full of life. Her efforts to make he fall in love are cliches but they surprise because you do not expect it. The character design is cute and beautiful, the girls don´t look very similar to each other. The scenarios are sometimes quite different from what I expected and am used to, but this really helped to keep the anime enjoyable. The ost is good but not very special. It does it´s job and helps building the scenes. I enjoyed "We never learn" a lot, the story is light and happy but it end´s up being surprising and interesting. There are some very unusual moments that made it feel unpredictable and I really want to watch the next season. All the girls feel familiar and are likeable, if you like RomComs you should definitely watch "We never learn"

I don't think this anime needs any type of deep think review. Bokutachi is a simple, but enjoyable slice of life. It is of course a harem, and there are some tropes that you typically see with that genre. That aside I really enjoyed watching this show. And the second season is about as good as the first. I think the characters were done pretty well. Again nothing to deep here. I will say the male MC isn't a complete moron or a complete pushover like you can typically find in this genre. He is even semi aware of his situation with the girls he tutors. The romance aspect of the show isn't bad either. I have seen it done much worst in other stories. The girls are really funny in this show. And I enjoyed their characters quite a lot. They weren't to generic. Also for anyone that enjoys decent animation this show has it. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is looking to watch an enjoyable, funny, but simple show. I typically stay away from slice of life, but this one took pretty quickly.

This follows Nariyuki Yuiga who is tasked with teaching 3 talented genius girls who each have weaknesses in certain subjects that Yuiga has to tutor them for. What ensues are many romantic misadventures and misunderstandings. It is a standard anime with pretty much standard characters and a standard plot. The pacing was just fine, but the characters didn't really stand out to me. I thought Ogata (one of the girls being tutored) was really cute, but beyond that, I didn't really feel anything special about the other characters. Some of the gags were really funny and got me laughing. I also thought that the animation was fine for the genre it is representing. I plan to watch season 2 and I would like to see what lies in store for Nariyuki and his harem.

Every anime season needs a cliche harem right? Well look no further. Seriously there's nothing really unique about this show compare to any other generic high-school harem. The only thing that usually changes between shows of this genre is the background story and "Bokutachi wa Benkyou ga Dekinai" is no exception - Take a students that's a little above average in all subjects (but emotionally an airhead) and a bunch of girls who are exceptionally talented in one subject but ridiculously bad in others then just throw them all together and have the girls, have them all fall in love with the guy and stretch it by having one who's too afraid to confess, one who's not willing to admit to herself that she wants him and another that simply doesn't know it yet herself. Now where did I hear this story before? Maybe more or less every single harem I've ever watched. After the first few episodes even those few background story things (like one of the girls trying to analyze classic Japanese literature as a series of equations) disappear and you get a truly 100% generic harem. Of course, 3 girls is never enough so let's throw in a teacher and an alumni as well so they're not high-school kids to make it "super unique"... not. Nothing much to say about the art... As moe as virtually any other harem. Bottom line - If you've never watched a harem before (are there any people who even fall into this category) you may watch this one as well as any other. If you're the type that enjoys the usual harem cliches then go ahead, this one is not better or worse than any other. If however you've already watched a fair share of harems and don't want the same thing all over again then you should probably skip this one because that's exactly what it is.

Starting off, the show was about as predictable as I thought it would be, especially since it begins with a similar premise to 5toubun. The first few episodes felt like a bit of a slog, especially since we've all seen this same sort of thing time and time again in harem/romcom style shows. That being said, I feel that things really finished off strong. The VOs felt like they really started to get a feel for their characters as the show went on, and that helped to flesh them out and make them much more enjoyable to watch. The last few episodes of the first cour really left me feeling like there's more to come, so I'm excited to pick this back up in October when the 2nd one airs!
