Ore dake Haireru Kakushi Dungeon

It’s nice when a show knows it’s a meme and embraces it. One of my only gripes with an anime is when it takes itself too serious for what it is. Ore Dake is aware that it’s an ecchi fantasy full of waifus and an OP MC, but it embraces it and brings everything together in a way that still allows you to enjoy it. Simply put, Ore Dake is a good time. There’s no real plot here other than rather shallow excuses for fan service-y interactions between the MC and the girls, but you know what? That’s ok, because they’re great and hilarious. Every anime doesn’t need to reinvent the wheel to be great. This is the type of show that you shut your brain off for and sit back for some mindless fun. Week after week I was amazed at the ridiculousness of the antics and just had a blast with this show. It’s actually quite funny, if you asked me to give you a story recap of the show, I honestly couldn’t. All I can say is that I loved it. The art is really nice in the show, the fight animations were a bit on the meh side, but let’s be real. No one is watching this for the fights. You’re here to laugh and for waifus, and the art is more than good enough on that front. I don’t think Ore Dake is a must watch, per se, but it is a very enjoyable show that I loved and think many will enjoy. If you’re like me and don’t think every anime needs to be a Monster, Monogatari or Geass in terms of writing, you’ll love this show. Ore Dake gets 9 kisses out of 10.

*BOING* *BOING* *BOING* What’s that sound? It’s the sound of another average harem and ecchi anime. What else did you think the sound was??? Basically teenage boy has the power to know anything. Boy gets headache from using that power. Boy uses headache to get kiss from girl. Boy gets Minecraft creative mode from knowledge power and chained lady. Boy attract many girls with that power. Boy can die if use creative mode too much. Boy gets pleasure to restore power. Boy repeats process again and again. Basically boy cheat at life. But too innocent to use power. Damn I am jealous of the protagonist. I think it's every Weeb’s dream to have OP powers and especially my male viewers. THE HAREM. Okay… Enough of my side thoughts... Yeah so basically this is your very typical harem/ecchi anime where the protagonist is a total SIMP and is absolutely timid and scared when it comes to the opposite sex. The only exception is that he’s got a “stacked” childhood friend that he can basically kiss on command. WOW that’s a first. But, alas here come your typical anime harem tropes. Typical girl vs girl fighting. Girls stepping or sitting on the protagonist’s face. The clingy younger sister. And of course the boring and redundant plot that a regular series of this type of genre has. The quality of artwork is average for a harem anime. Nothing really special about it. If you are a fan of the harem genre this is a fair show to watch if you have nothing else on your list. For my more casual anime watchers, I would skip this series. There are better shows to watch. But ultimately it's your choice if you want to have many girls constantly saying “Norn” stuck in your head after each episode. Ore dake Haireru Kakushi Dungeon has its good and okay moments. But most times the show feels dry and just uninspiring. The characters are somewhat lacking for a Harem anime and we don’t really see a whole lot of character development. The story itself feels random and unstructured. I feel like every episode it just jumps from random to random. It leaves me all confused. If there was more work into characters and story I would have ranked this higher. But, again I am not surprised about its quality given that it's intended to be an ecchi/harem title and nothing more than that. But after watching all 12 episodes, I give this anime nothing more than a score of 4 for being lackluster. Overall: 4/10

**This review contains minor spoilers** Another action, adventure, comedy, fantasy anime? Well…why not although we had a lot of those in the past already. It has lots of Ecchi scenes and the fanservice is god-like? REVOLUTIONARY. Count me in. The studio "Okuruto Noboru" enters a “dangerous dungeon” for the first time with the anime "Ore dake Haireru Kakushi Dungeon". Previously only worked in a few OVAs, they venture into the fantasy, adventure world. Although this genre is nothing new in itself, they managed to do it in a way which doesn't make us bored and asking for more. Our adventure begins with Noir, the third son of a “beggar noble” (the lowest position for a noble). Because of his position, he didn't get his job in the library. Thereupon he decides to go to the "Hero Academy" in order to become stronger and to get a secure job as an adventurer after graduation. Noir was very nice to his fellow men, but he was never particularly strong. One day he discovers a secret dungeon that only he can enter with a secret spell. This is where he started his secret training to get stronger and stronger… There is a beautiful woman with a large bust and hips in this dungeon: Olivia. She was one of the S-class adventurers and thus one of the strongest at the time. She entered this dungeon, but after defeating a monster, she was handcuffed in death shackles. When Noir met Olivia by chance and appointed her as his master, she decided to pass on her special skills to Noir. LP (life points) are required to use the special skills. How do you get this? Noir's childhood friend Emma is the main contributor to all of his LPs. Emma has laaaaarge breasts and is very popular with the opposite sex because of her cuteness but she is only interested in Noir and really loves him. She is willing to do anything for Noir and to get him the necessary LPs with kisses and well… “other things” like that. Everything that is "fun" for a simple man increases the LPs. Noir and Emma has a very close relationship since childhood. They did everything together. Both of them also decided to take on the job in the library. But after Noir was rejected, Emma decided to follow him to the Academy. She really is the vital supporter for Noir. Let’s take a look at the other two main characters and their role in this little “Noir-clan”. First, we have the Odin Guild receptionist Lola. She is a beauty of the calm and collected sort with an air of maturity around her. Lola was the one who welcomed Noir when he joined the guild, she was always on good terms with him and Noir also helped Lola in receptionist battles. She is clever and knows how to motivate her guild and especially Noir. Lola's best friend Luna is the last girl in the “Noir-troupe”. All in all, she’s a super beauty and has a good personality. Luna is convinced that it is her mission to save people and make them smile. But whenever she heals someone, it uses up her life energy and this shortens her lifespan. Noir managed to edit her skill in a way not consuming her life-force. Since that point, she fell victim to his charm and decided to stick with Noir as well. Even if all the female characters certainly love their hero Noir, it must be mentioned that they also support each other. In addition to our main characters, we have the teacher Elna who rewards her male students by sitting on their faces. Maria, a real beauty who really has her heart in the right place as a duke. Her loyal bodyguard Amane, who always takes care of her. Of course, we cannot forget Alice, Noir's younger sister, who has a brother complex and adores her brother above all else. She has a special power which allow her to sense when her brother is getting intimate with other girls. Besides these girls, there are a few more who play a minor role. But one thing is certain: All of these girls are top tier! It cannot be denied that the art really stands out. All the girls are shown amiable and the fanservice is of high quality. The surroundings are also very beautiful and detailed. Everything fits together perfectly. The adventure of our group begins with the OP "Pyramid Dai Gyakuten" which tell us to be ready for some action. Prepare yourself for a new adventure that will come your way! The ED “Nemophila”, on the other hand, is about the deep relationship between Noir and Emma. Watching the animation during this song is particularly nice. Each picture tells a little story from their past together. They are a perfect couple. Besides the music, the Seiyuus did a great job performing their role. Their voice and all the emotions go very well with the character. As someone who generally likes this genre and also watched similar anime like "Konosuba", "Shachou, Battle no Jikan Desu!" or “Princess Connect! Re:Dive “ before, I am also very enthusiastic about "Ore Dungeon". It's a typical anime where you can just switch off for a bit and enjoy the things. Don't think too much about it, just follow the adventure with our characters. The fan service part is very successful and I mean we already experience more kisses in the first episode than in many romance anime. Sure, it's not the same, but it's certainly not a bad thing in my opinion. Noir is surely a lucky guy. I agree that the plot is uncreative and we have had such things before already. Still, I don't see any reason not to like "Ore Dungeon" just because of this point. If you enjoyed other similar anime, you will like “Ore Dungeon” as well. In the end, I can only say: Just enjoy the adventures and all the S-tier waifus. Let's hope for a second season with even more adventures from our little group!

Imagine obtaining a god-like power after being ostracized by your peers. Then, imagine that power can change reality itself. Meet Noir Starga, the young man who obtained such a power and along the way, his own personal harem. Brace yourself. If ecchi and harem scenes are not your cup of tea, then it’s best to head out and watch something else. I don’t know how high the author was when they wrote the story but let’s just say that the anime is a lot more than just entering a hidden dungeon. Well yes, it does begin with Noir discovering a dungeon and a chained entity by the name of Olivia. It’s from her that he obtained such a power with the drawback that he needs life points to sustain his survival. And guess how does he maintain those life points? By engaging in lewd activates with the female cast! With that premise, buckle up because there’s going to be a lot of mouthwatering moments. I’ll be honest here. The show itself isn’t shy to being what it really is. It never attempts to hide the fan service and really, every episode has Noir engaging in some form of sexual activity with the female cast. From sharing baths to ass stuffed into his face, you name it. It seems Noir is practically a chick magnet for the girls especially at his school, the Hero Academy. The most prominent girl among them is Emma, Noir’s childhood friend who just happens to very popular with great looks. Guess who she has interest in the most? That’s right, it’s the main protagonist and the show takes every opportunity to get the two together in some form of compromising moment. The first episode had them kissing to restore life points and there’s more than where that comes from. Emma kisses Noir not just to ensure he gets those life points. She enjoys and savors those moments. As more and more episode progresses, Emma uses it more as an excuse to give him life points. And as more female characters are introduced, you can imagine how jealous she can get when others gets close to Noir. It’s harem 101 that anyone with a brain can come up with in writing standards. However, I will excuse the writing of the show since you really shouldn’t expect much from a fantasy-harem. The question to ask yourself is…does the writing actually improve? The short answer is no and the longer answer is, no chance in hell. Every member of the character roster is presented like a sex object for Noir to enjoy. These include Lola, Luna, Maria, and even their teacher, Elna. Practically, every relevant female character at Hero Academy lusts for him. Mind you, these girls aren’t damsel in distress. They can actually be described as a ‘battle harem’ as each of them can fight. Imagine that. Not only does Noir have a group of beauties trying to earn his affections but also they can fight during adventures. That’s like striking the lottery for any young man. But unfortunately, this show doesn’t care to develop any member of Noir’s harem. They pretty much serve as walking beauties to provide life points for him. And no one really is safe from his attractive appeal. Even his sister Alice seems to be have a brother complex although the anime refrains from going too far. After all, this had to be approved to air on television and having an incest relationship would perhaps cross the line. However, when it comes to ecchi, the anime knows no bounds. Let me just say that kissing isn’t the only way to gain life points. Basically, for Noir to sustain himself, he needs to be aroused. Whether this includes being sat on his face, stepped on, or other lewd actions, it gets the job done. Kissing is just one sexual action that gets him aroused and trust me, there’s plenty of moments in the show that Noir gets turned on. Even as the primary love interest, Emma doesn’t hog all the fun. As I said before, any relevant female member tries to have their way with him, even those with naïve knowledge about sexual activities. In one particular episode, Noir meets Dryade, a peculiar girl with a lack of common sense. With a look similar to Emma, it doesn’t take long for her tongue to connect to Noir’s mouth. Let me also say that I’m not familiar with studio Okuruto Noboru, they definitely understood the word ‘ecchi’. While the show isn’t borderline hentai, the amount of fan service takes plenty of TV time. When we do get the actual fighting in dungeons and during adventures, it come out dry and empty. But for the fan service scenes, the show goes all out to get both Noboru and the viewers aroused. So let me give you a safety advice and don’t watch this show with your little brother or sister around. They might see something they’re not supposed to and your parents will have to give you a long lecture. Guilty pleasure is the easiest way to describe this show because that’s what the anime aims to do: give pleasure. It’s how Noir gets his life points and how his harem satisfy his needs. Let’s be real here. Do we actually watch this show for the “plot”? It’s a recurring joke in the anime community. Unfortunately, this show itself is an awful joke.

Story: 5 OK let's not pretend here. The tunnel is a euphemism for vijayjay.. And the thing that is deceiving about the title is that it makes you think there is only one vijayjay that only he can enter. But it's not the case. There are plenty tunnels that he can enter besides the actual tunnel. Story is very cliched but has good comedic elements here and there. Art: 7 Art is surprisingly good. Tongue movements during kissing are very life-like but kinda gross. Sound: 6 Nothing to complain about. But with all the lines the voice actors had to run, I felt like they did their best. OSTs are fine I suppose, I don't pay much attention to them, pretty forgettable. Character: 6 There are interesting concepts. For instance, a healer that is afraid of healing too much. A quest receptionist who is in competition with others. They add flair a little to the story. Overall, it's just OK. Main character is lame. Enjoyment: 5 Not sure if I was always engaged throughout, so I think it's not good enough for enjoyment purposes. Overall, it's just fair.. but if you are a busy person, don't watch it.

The hidden dungeon only I can enter is without a doubt the worst execution of an anime which had a great sounding plot and synopsis that I have ever seen. It starts out with a really cool sounding idea, living in a regular world where people have to work really hard to obtain skills, beat monsters climb ranks in guilds etc... and someone can create, modify or delete skills, however this was entirely ruined for me after the first few episodes when I realized just how poor of an execution this anime was. I haven't read the manga so I don't know how good / bad the source material was if there was any but nothing can excuse the sheer disappointment, cringe and discomfort I felt from this whilst watching. I only gave it a 2/10 which is still quite a generous rating in my opinion and it was only above a 1 because of the mediocre at best art and a decent twist on a classic genre. Art: 3 / 10 The art was probably the most redeeming quality of this show and it still looked cheap and choppy most of the time. There was no interesting use of colors, character designs or really anything, it looked as if someone had taken the most generic features of background characters and cheaply glued them to a 2010 anime character drawing template and said "looks good enough". Not a single scene made me feel any excitement for any fights (which there were few of) and the lack of any movement for characters who aren't in focus amazed me. Want a cool fight scene well here are 3 average camera angles, no effects, nothing to make it stand out from anything else but it will still be the "highlight" for this past 3 episodes. Most anime I have seen have had better quality drawings and far far better use of angles, character designs etc. Characters: 1 / 10 It completely baffles me how someone has managed to write such uninteresting and bad characters. While watching, I would be eagerly awaiting the end because a plain black frame with absolutely nothing happening had more personality than these excuses for characters. Character development? What's that? Original characters? Forget it. Calling them 2D characters exaggerates their depth so it would be more fair to call them 1D although I would argue that even a single dimension is wasted on them. Our main character, the star of the show, supposed to be likeable and well thought out, is really just a combination of the most common and predictable tropes of low budget anime. He has no special outstanding characteristics, his design consists of about 5 colors and there is absolutely nothing except screen time separating him from a background character. The other supporting characters are similar embodiments of classic tropes somehow done wrong. Plot: 2 / 10 There is a singular reason why I would rate the plot a 2 rather than a 1 and that is because of the general theme. The idea of being able to create, modify and delete skills in a world where skills are everything sounds quite appealing and exciting on the surface and it would be if the plot wasn't so loosely connected and poorly made that a toddlers stories look as inspirational as Martin Luther King's speeches. Most episodes feel like their substance was thought up on the spot with little to no prior planning as to how it would all play out. What was that, some advanced level grim reaper monster is in front of me, hmm, lets toss a rock at it and it is dead. How on earth would anyone ever find something as uninspiring as that even slightly entertaining. Near to everything was predictable with the only exceptions being worse than my expectations and it is honestly insulting how I need to check a spoiler warning because I could describe the entire plot in detail and it would be more surprising than if you hadn't read it because I can't even put into words how boring and unexciting this is. You would get more surprise from the lack of words in the English language which can describe this dumpster fire of a plot (no offense meant to dumpster fires). Conclusion: I could rant on about how much of a waste of time this anime is to watch and I think that it is quite obvious how much I dislike it. A part of me is convinced that this was made as torture for criminals to get them to talk and it would probably be quite effective if you just started to play it. If you disregard my warnings about the horror of this show then you best be mentally prepared for the eons that each episode feels like. It would be no exaggeration to say that this anime has left me permanently scarred and despite my love for anime, it has managed to significantly fall after watching hidden dungeon. In short, this is without a doubt the worst piece of "entertainment" I have ever consumed and it left me with a void of regret for watching all 12 episodes, I would never watch this again in my current life or any future reincarnations I might have and I give my sincerest apologies to everyone who has suffered through this with me.

You can argue that Ore Dake is yet another generic fantasy anime with an ecchi harem plot, and you’ll be right, because it never pretends to be something else than a generic fantasy anime with an ecchi harem plot. Ore Dake Haireru Kakushi Dungeon centres on Noir Starga, who is an ostracized noble because of his low peerage; however, Noir has the unique power of consulting a Sage to help him in varied circumstances, but severely draining his energy as an after effect. One day, after wandering about in the land, he got lost in a dungeon and met a young immobile woman called Olivia, who only communicates by mental waves, and gives him new powers to survive. And with the help of de facto girlfriend Emma, sensual receptionist Lola and eccentric half-elf Luna, Noir will try to become a Hero and your average merchant. Please take in account that entering this dungeon review will show you spoilers. Story (8/10): Noir Starga is a low level noble who has the access to unlimited knowledge to a sage, only to drain his life for using it, so he uses on restricted occasions to avoid fatal consequences. He only has a normal dream of becoming a librarian, along with his childhood friend and arguably girlfriend Emma Brightness. The same Noir, while exploring the land, gets into a mysterious dungeon where he enters a secret chamber only to meet a vegetative girl bound by chains called Olivia Servant; this young woman offers rare powers to the young adventurer by telematics. After acquiring those new abilities, Noir returned to the town, and then he decided, against the wishes of his family, to enter the Hero Academy, along with Emma. In order to enter the academy, Noir and Emma need to do certain things to reach a passing grade, this in spite of the massive hate he receives from the students with higher peerages because of Noir’s baronet peerage. Despite their entire negative comments during the gradings, both easily passed the admission test in the first place. Much to the chagrin of Emma, Noir starts getting along with the academy girls by using his charms and the creative powers he keeps acquiring, specially the frail Maria, and even his main teacher, and this not only applies to the school. That’s when they go to the adventure guild to earn some coins, they meet Lola, a pretty girl who is the receptionist, and clearly falls in love with Noir, even considering his total inexperience on adventuring. Maria’s ever worsening health prompts all three to reach Lola’s healer best friend, the half-elf Luna. Initially, Luna totally rejects the job due to her also ever decreasing lifespan due to habitual healing and Maria’s extremely demanding curse; then Noir intervenes to overwrite her attributes to neutralize the curse with a reducing wealth instead of a reducing lifespan, forcing the three to enter a contest to get a harem. Finally, after earning so much geld to amortize possible debts, Luna finally cures Maria. With the worst already behind, Noir and his harem, decided to start focusing in creating a shop about rare items they’ve gotten during their adventures. Alongside, Noir and Emma keep getting closer and closer, to the point that the Brightness family invited him to be Emma’s guardian to prevent her for being kidnapped; their close physical contact and kissing became a constant, evolving from only kissing Noir to alleviate his draining, to being a sign of mutual trust. Their increasing relationship pushes Emma and Noir to travel the hidden dungeon to search for Olivia in order to save her, only to be attacked by an Olivia clone that was bound to Death Chains and severely hurting Noir in the way. No matter how much the Starga primogenitor tried to attack Death Chained Olivia while sacrificing almost all his acquired powers, she always one upped him, even with the help of his harem, Emma, Lola, Luna and Lelia. Noir, reaching a breaking point and sacrificing almost all his creative powers, finally destroys the Death Chains and saves Olivia without killing her. Art and animation (7/10): The animation seem too standard and nothing inventive, the characters look distinguishable and well-drawn, highlighting Emma Brightness (yes, I do like big breasted blonde girls, and I’m not ashamed at all) and the sensei Elna; however, the studio Oku Noboru is completely new, and Ore Dake is one of its first forages onto TV anime, the next one will be another generic fantasy anime with an ecchi harem plot, Isekai Maou. Backgrounds seem decent, relatively well detailed; the colour panels are pretty colourful, but never getting too oversaturated like in fellow Winter 2021 anime Wonder Egg Priority. Sound (9/10): The sound is pretty tranquil and happy, the seiyuus are pretty serviceable, but already established, Ryouta Osaka has already got experience on harem leads like Nariyuki Yuiga (Bokuben), Miyu Tomita voicing Gabriel White (Gabriel Dropout), Rumi Okubo in doing annoying girls like Chinatsu Yoshikawa (Yuru Yuri); and the more well-known voice actress like Akari Kitou doing Luna, Sora Amamiya as Master Elna and Yui Horie hanekawazing Olivia Servant. The opening Pyramid Dai Gyakuten, sung by Spira Spice is quite upbeat, who also sang in the controversial anime Okaasan Online; Coala Mode sings the more depressive Nemophila. The background music is well written, never too loud and never too quiet. Characters (8/10): The characters are pretty generic, but all of them serve a determined purpose, I’ll only talk about Noir, Emma, Lola and Luna: Noir Starga is your typical generic adventure hero, gets all the girls without any effort at all, but I would highlight that he doesn’t shy away of girls and he’s very protective of them, and has a very positive relationship with Emma, even considering the initial kissing motives. Emma Brightness is the classical childhood friend who becomes too well endowed and gets all eyes put on her, but breaking the traditional and always negative ending of osananajimis, by finally being the de facto girlfriend and much needed companion of Noir. Lola is clearly the traditional oneesan-like receptionist who after questioning heavily Noir abilities gets too infatuated on him. Competitive by nature, she always tries to get Noir to her side without withholding any barrels, and trying to be the best receptionist of her guild. Luna is the all too well-known half-elf who is helpful with anybody by curing their aliments, even putting her life in risk, a master on healing, she too became enamoured on Noir, but gives him the right space and doesn’t pressure him. Enjoyment (10/10): How can I enjoy an anime that is way too generic and doesn’t add anything new to the genre? It’s simple, the simplicity and the amicable character of the anime, never going too overboard on fanservice, maintaining all the tropes that characterize the generic fantasy anime with ecchi harem plot. The show is no magnum opus, nor nothing highly venerable, it just works well within the limitations of the genre, only trying to break the mold of the osananajimi finally getting the ultimate prize (if she didn’t already got it). Those who see nothing valuable in Ore Dake are the same overly purist to never like something generic or unimpressive, I do find valuable Hidden Dungeon for the sole purpose of entertaining and giving us a nice big breasted blonde girl who can stand up on her own. And yes, I’m partial to Emma. Final Score: 9/10.

"Eminence in shadow" but replace dark and edgy with sweet and mellow. Trashy, cheesy, steamy, light-hearted, earnest, a wonderful piece of lightweight 'guilty pleasure', shamelessly indulgent and surprisingly competently done. Interesting variation of the 'ridiculously OP skill', the victories feel well earned, the protagonist is likeable, the indulgences are properly justified by lore, the girls know what they want and deliver with only token amounts of blushing and stammering, and protag-kun doesn't pretend it's anything else than it is. In the "Overpowered protagonist with a harem" genre, this is my second-favorite (after Eminence in Shadow), and probably the most underrated show of the genre. Five golden dumpsters!

Ok so this anime has just ended a few days ago, but IMAO, to make one is just in time. So, let's get down to brass taxes. Here's my rating for this poor anime......(I'll never understand why some thinks this is great): Story- Mediocre 5: As in "Mediocre Pathetic" cu'z no matter how you put it it was just the usual adventure, magic, comedy, romance and harem kind of anime, was was just as pathetic as those generic anime where it was set in some world where it kinda resemble like a that of an RPG game. Art-Good 7: There's the usual big boobed bimbo in Emma, the usual white panty fanservice, and other eye candies, which would have been nice , but the fanservices were just too limited in some episodes. Sound-Decent 4: Given that I have nothing much to say..... Character-Good 7: I'd say it was good , since despite that main character , Starga Nior being the usual pathetic main character, he basically know who he wants and yes it's Emma Brighness...good as it maybe, there were still a couple of harem members that seemly competes for the guy's affection....And I need not mention them since they're just as pathetic as the guy , there was also that blue haired girl in the Dungeon who was a 200 year old adventurer that also competes for the guy....What disgusts , was that guy is kinda cheating and I'm not just saying his ability to used cheat magic, but the guy was literally cheating his childhood friend. Enjoyment- Poor 3: TBFH, it was the hope of seeing many panty flashes' that keeps me from dropping this and there was that possibility that Noir and Emma would be a couple given that the guy has kissed the girl a lotta times, but alas this anime ends in a sour note...... Overall- Pathetic 1: Jaz a PTW......do I recommend it"? Ans, No....Does this deserve a season 2????? Ans, Don't even think about it, Bitches.....

TL;DR: It's not outstanding, but enjoyable "Gameworld"-Fantasy. Do you enjoy Ecchi Fantasy Trash? Because if you don't just watch something else. For the average Ecchi Trash connoisseur this is an easy 9/10 for enjoyment. It's a guilty pleasure, because the story is as basic as it gets and the main character is so bland that you can self insert easily. Our protagonist is your average goody twoshoes boyscout who is going for the harem speedrun. He starts out with a power called "great sage" that's like a guidebook for his world. "Hey, great sage, how do I get gud?" - "Go to the hidden dungeon only you can enter" <- Namedrop It initially comes with a downside tho: It gives him great headaches. But not to worry, the main girl has just found a solution for that: Kissing. If he makes out with her, the pain will go away. Story starts, Our MC Noir Stargazer (cool name btw) goes into that Dungeon that feels like a randomizer Dungeon from your average dungeon crawler and finds a chained woman that gives him OP powers for free. The downside? It's cast from Hitpoints. But do not worry! He can regain the Hitpoints by doing Hedonistic stuff like eating yummy food, spending a lot of money and... sexy things. And you can guess what the main source of his Lifereg will be. The story is pretty generic, a goal exists, goal will be reached, next goal comes... a lot of fanservice that increases in saucyness over time and is plot relevant. So far there weren't many huge twists, but it's stil an enjoyable read. Since the story is not that great i can't rate this higher than 6/10 overall

Seriously feel good anime. Its better to go in with no expectations, you'll enjoy it for what it is. First its a parody, and its corny but endearing. Forget shounen, this is a slice of life with comedic elements and some very tastefully handled ecchi. Everyone's in on it, and that makes it work. There is a point where the MC is putting one of the characters to sleep or something, and she says "make me your slave", but then changes it to something else. The viewer and the characters know what she meant, but it gets played off in a way it makes you chuckle. There are moments like that throughout the show. The only bummer is that its not longer. I'm rooting for a second season.

First off: YES, this is an absolute average harem / ecchi kinda anime. Boy gets overpowered for no particular reason, he didn't work for it, he didn't do anything special just happened to be at the right place, at the right time... One girl after another he collects for his harem and they fight over him but he never decides for anyone. I personally hate it when the main character can't decide for one girl, but I do understand that this is like the point behind a harem anime... One good thing I could say is that the main character never stands around the girls fighting over him like a dumb bread, he excuses himself and tries to have nothing to do with it. And I like that they don't put kissing like such a tabu, but I think that's it. Overall a very average harem anime, nothing special or outstanding. If you enjoy these kind of anime, you'll enjoy this one. If you're looking for something special, you won't find it here. 5/10 for nothing outstanding.

So honest opinions, I kinda enjoyed the show. Did I enjoy it too much? No. It has an incredibly cliche concept. Guy who gets kind of overpowered abilities, gets more powerful through sexual arousal, anything dungeon related is supposed to become rpg related too, and of course the harem. Yet I enjoyed it, why? Because I'm a degenerate. I don't like harem shows in particular although this one hits different. The MC isn't a dunce, He's aware that everybody loves him romantically so he takes advantage of that. The Harem is particularly unique too, it's pretty unusual to see the girls of the harem sharing the MC. I would like to give props to the jiggle physics in this show too, Apparently the melons are too lightweight to just have small movement make them jiggle like crazy. For the plot, the first episodes were done well. The characters were introduced in a way that it won't make you overwhelmed. Moving on you might've just noticed something, there's no particular direction for the plot. Everything are just more or less filler events, some may introduce new characters but some unnecessary to the main objective. Although If there's a second season of the show, then it should just be made up of the plot taking a now direct course. So is the show good? Short Answer No, Long answer watch it for yourself. Its kinda weird saying that for a review but sometimes a show just finds its audience. Taking into account Enjoyment, it may appeal a minority of an audience. I didn't have much to say here and honestly I can describe it on a few sentences. P.S. Olivia looks like FFNF Champagne from azur lane which is one of my favorite characters from the game

It is a very cliché anime only that it has a lot of echi so I really liked if you like echi in fantasy worlds it is your anime. The main character is half fag but his harem gathers so we respect him apart from the maester who has a beast. What I did not like is that he does not kiss him at the end, personally I liked him a lot for the garbage, which is I recommend it if you like echi or if you do not see it. En español: Es un anime muy cliché solo que tiene mucho echi así me gusto la verdad si te gusta el echi en mundos de fantasía es tu anime. El personaje principal es medio maricón pero se junta su harem así que lo respetamos aparte la maestre que tiene una bestia. Lo que no me gusto que no le da un beso al final, personalmente me gusto bastante para las basura que es te la recomiendo si te gusta el echi o sino no la veas.

The most basic, tropey ecchi harem anime in existence. Art is ok, plot is lame, and problematic scenes. You got the gross and typical obsessive little sister type that’s lowkey in love with her brother which I HAVE seen people talking about, but I don’t see enough people mentioning the obvious pedophilia in a certain episode. There’s a little elf girl that resembles the protagonist’s friend when she was a child who needs help bc there is a bee sticking its stinger into her tree and sucking her nectar…(i seriously don’t like what they were trying to imply here). They do the grossest “fan service” scenes where they show the underaged child’s chest. I seriously didn’t think it would get worse but then they have a scene of her licking and kissing the protagonist, and keep in mind he isn’t a child. He also enjoyed it btw. I JUST KNOW that they were trying to find a gray area for pedophilia bc “elves are actually super old and only APPEAR as a child.” Anyways, idc if people are like “it’s just an anime blah blah blah.” It’s gross. And if you defend that you're a pedophile. I might have ranted too hard here but basically what I’m trying to say is that this anime is trashy. The only good part of it was___.

There's generic harem OP MC Isekai, then there's the trash tier dumpster fire hella' entertaining OP MC Isekai; this one belongs to the latter. I won't sugarcoat anything, this is just a notch above generic isekai. There's no character growth here or deep and complex character motivation. World building is at stupid levels, and there's no complexity in this story BUT, you know what else is lacking in this story that makes all the difference? The EXCUSES. This story is unapologetic in its garbageness, there is no leap of logic to make sense of why the MC is OP, there is no justification, there is no moralizing or any of the sort. This story is dumb af and it doesn't give a shit what the general public thinks. It wants to tell a story and it does so. If you like the OP MC isekai niche and you just want to pass the time then there's a good amount of enjoyment here. If you're looking for anything deeper, then touching this will probably give you cancer.

Characters: Tasteless harem characters and bad main protagonist. Interactions doesn't even make sense by any chance, once they say "oh we are just friend" few seconds later you see them going hard into each other and few minutes later main protagonist is saying " I'm too shy doing things like this...". Girls are like copy and paste characters when it comes to personality they don't have any favorite things, they have no special connection to main protagonist they have nothing if they where looking all the same you wouldn't know who is who because they act almost same. One that was slightly better written was Olivia since she was teacher of our main protagonist. They could use at least Alicia more but she just go around being completely useless her interactions where "HAHA" or "I'm horny brother..." tasteless but everybody else was like this. Story was, i don't even know what to say story was straight bad at some points it could be better if character interaction was better. Enjoyment : 1 if i could go and give 0 it would be 0. This anime is 3/10 just because of nice graphics and sound but everything else was just immeasurable suffering.

If you have watched anime for a while, you're already familiar with the term "Good trash". If you don't know what that is, Domestic na Kanojo, Eromanga-sensei, Monster Musume, and many other anime like that. This, is one of the "good trash" anime. My score for this might be low, but this anime was surprisingly annoying and enjoyable at the same time. Now, a little word of advice: Don't take the anime seriously at all, you'll regret it if you do. The story is just plain trash, once you realize the one big plothole in the anime, the story is instantly ruined. That's why I chose to forget that the story exist. Noir's power is so shit, he literally became a god. He has the power to edit anything, which includes anyone's skill, he can create skills, all these actions cost LP, LP is achieved when someone does sexy stuff with Noir like kissing or if something perverted happens with him, or if he is satisfied after eating a lot of food or getting reward. The moment you realize that he can just use the edit or create skill to farm infinite LP and become a god, and free Olivia, the story is just ruined. But who cares about story when they keep throwing boobs and ass at your face. Now let's talk about the real 'plot', the boobs and ass. I'd be lying if I said I watched it for any other reason. I read the manga even before an anime was announced, I solely watched it for the nonsensical harem. After last week's traditional obligatory hot spring episode, I'm proud to say that the anime is successful at what it's doing. The characters are amazing, they are very 'developed', but only the female ones if you know what I mean, especially Emma, she has magical boobs which bounces on their own. Noir, on the other hand, is the worst character in the entire anime, he is full of shit. His voice is annoying to listen to, it sounds like a helium voice changer. He acts like a wimp all of the time, he's pathetic. The animation is bad. The fight scenes are so bad, they're hilarious. Animation isn't good at all, except... The boobs and the ass. Yes, looks like the budget for this anime was low and they decided to pour all the budget into the boobs and ass, which was a wise decision. The sound however, is extraordinary. No I'm not talking about the voice acting. I'm talking about the great ending sequence, which deserves a better anime, which is not this one. The opening sequence is good but not great. Enjoyment? Yes, I enjoyed it very much. I enjoyed to it for every episode at least 2-3 times, I enjoyed it so much that I got tired and started sweating after a while. This was an enjoying anime. 7/10.

Ore Dake is not intended for those offended by lewd displays in animation. It shamelessly panders to popular kinks found throughout the ecchi genre, such as loli and onii-chan and big titty childhood friend fanservice, and doesn’t particularly care whether you object to these displays or not. This is precisely why the user score is so low, as the holier than thou section of the MAL community will reject anime of its ilk based upon the perverted premise alone. However, those who are less prudish about cartoon eroticism may appreciate how Ore Dake presents absurd situations in an entirely comedic light - always self aware about what absurdity it is presenting to the viewer, rarely taking itself seriously. This allows the non prude to suspend their moral boundaries and enjoy the hijinks as they are intended to be received. If you can reach this level of understanding, then Ore Dake becomes a quality ecchi comedy, managing to entertain with silliness as much as it does titillate with fanservice from very cute girls and a MC who is morally obligated to touch them. Like so many other ecchi, the narrative set up exists purely for the sake of justifying the fanservice - a young heroic adventurer Noir must engage in erotic acts in order to replenish his life points and enable the use of his magical skills. What makes this gimmick particularly effective, is that there are many situations where an obstacle appears that cannot be cleared without a certain LP threshold. Sometimes its a monster that is too powerful to defeat otherwise. Other times it may be a curse that he has to cure, but needs enough points to do so. The sense of urgency that is created from these objectives, and the fact that engaging in perversion is the lone solution to solving these obstacles, gives rise to the comedy as you watch dire crisis become cleared by utterly ridiculous solutions. Another way this gimmick is effective, is in the sheer variety in ways that Noir does gain his power through erotic acts. In one episode it may be a kiss, another a panty flash, another he may get a lap dance, another his face might get sat on (don't kink shame bro) use your creativity and it probably happens here short of sex. This keeps the fanservice from ever becoming particularly stale or repetitive, an issue that many fanservice shows run into. I can safely say that this is one of the more creative ecchi in recent memory, in terms of how the service is executed in the short window of one cour. It is a prerequisite that good ecchi have multiple best girl candidates, and that is certainly the case here. Each of Noir's harem has their own valid case and do appeal to different lewd tastes. What makes them especially likeable is that nearly all receive a dedicated episode of exposition that explains the motivations of their character. You learn a good deal about what drives them, and also get an understanding of why they grow to love Noir. It's not just because he's the main character, or that he's strong, he genuinely wants to help them out of the goodness of his heart and is very reliable. It is also very important to note that all the fanservice is equally reciprocated - Noir isn't a rapist or sexual harasser, nor does he receive any unwanted advances. The girls are just as perverted as he is, if not more so. One may also appreciate the periodical humor in this show, particularly as it relates to pop culture. Tifa Lockhart from Final Fantasy 7 is in this anime. Don't ask me why. Younger Toguro from Yu Yu Hakusho is in this anime. Also don't ask me why. You know how almost every adventure MC has a goal related to their journeys? Meh, Noir wanted to be a librarian so that his family could earn a stable income. Ore Dake lays it thick with the homages and contradictions to popular adventure rpg tropes, but not so much so that it becomes obnoxious or even too obscure for the viewer to spot. If you've ever played a RPG, and have even the slightest understanding of Japanese media, you're gonna spot the homages throughout this show and probably laugh at how they are cleverly delivered. It is typical for one cour shows of this ilk to have an incomplete ending that leaves you hanging, as the anime is merely intended to be a teaser for the source material. Ore Dake bucks that trend and actually concludes itself nicely by the end, while also leaving room for an additional season if need be. Such a continuation would give me reason to increase the score above an eight. Should you watch Ore Dake? Yeah, if you don't abhor ecchi. It's designed for those who who can tolerate the genre and is never off putting enough to cross a point of no return that makes you question your morals. Generally a fun time with likable and cute characters, a funny set up that doesn't run out of creativity all the way until the end, and even becomes surprisingly dramatic at times as the tone shifts at various points. In all you have a pretty damn solid show for the genre, that is better than what the MAL score says it is as per usual for ecchi works.
