Campione!: A Divine Premise, a Mundane Execution
Campione! is a work that starts with a spectacular concept: what would happen if a normal boy killed a god and gained their powers? The story follows Godou Kusanagi, a young man who, after a chance encounter in Italy, manages to defeat the god of war, Verethragna. In doing so, he becomes a "Campione" or "God-slayer," acquiring the ability to steal the "authorities" (powers) of the gods he defeats. This throws him into a world of mythology, magic, and battles, as he tries to deal with the various mages and priestesses who seek to serve him.
The main strength of the anime is, without a doubt, its high-concept premise and its strategic action. The idea of using mythologies from all over the world is fascinating, and the power system is engagin…

Well i should say this one's kind of Underrated. The story is somewhat simmiler to Strike the Blood. But not as cringe.
Here's what i like about it.
Animation:7/10
Story: Pretty Rushed. Alot of missing pieces. 5/10
Action:7/10
Harem:9/10. (I really like the main girl)
Ecchi:It has ecchi but not that lewd way.
Main character: Clueless typical.
Rommance:8.5/10 Comedy: Not that funny.
So yeah if you're interested in rommance, harem and echhi watch.
(I thought it was a rommance Anime from the YouTube shorts. It is but the main focus is on action and story(it sucks). They kind of mash old story to make new one)

Campione is an interesting show, it reaches a fair level for story that doesn't care to investigate itself itself all that deeply. And perhaps that's to be expected of the romance harem ecchi realm it resides in, to not be taken all that seriously. Unfortunately it set its initial expectations too high and somewhat deceives you into thinking it will do more then it actually does.
Lets start with the plot and narrative of the story: Its not all that much to write home about. Its a common cliche hero's journey generally. The only major distinguishing feature is through most of the show (aside from building the harem) he doesn't really want to be special nor act all that uptight about being a chosen one, but unfortunately that also leaves the main protagonist as rather incapable of much char…

Is there any continuation for the story? It really feels lacking.
One thing I can say about the series is the story definitely feels interesting yet it is not entertaining. It is an attempt of putting up god-deity mythology but considering that most of the time when a topic of mythology is brought up first thing to think is it's not a peaceful environment to be in. Yet the show attempts to break off this theme and begin a more casual approach which just makes it less exciting.
I would go even as far as to say that this is way off better being an ecchi highschool anime rather than this lackluster mythological fantasy adventure theme. Since the earlier seems to be far mor enjoying to watch than the latter.
The pacing feels way too fast yet way too slow. Why do I say this?, because there…

Campione!: Matsurowanu Kamigami to Kamigoroshi no Maou.
All Right, as a Master weeb hundred Animes watched, i must say it was really enjoable. It bears the regular anime, ecchi, harem features, but gives it a new coat - wich i like.
The story is ofcourse a Shounen type anime story, given 1 thicc boi who gets lots of powaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa by un or known force.
This story featuer gods, godesses, in a really good way. The fact that was in the anime about gods, their origin is true, historically accurare - in an enjoyable way. The action is well developed, and even romance is placed in it. Neat!
Art is pretty good suits the anime well, the explosions sometimes shabby, but the character designs were really hit the spot. The action was well animated too. Forexaple the Swords.

Watching this in year 2020, I honestly feel this series age quite well as a Harem anime. The story is decent but need to switch off the brain to really enjoy. Even for a year 2012, it is cliche. Most of the characters simply lack of development and I really don't like how they portray the hero, Godou. What's with these dense hero in Harem anime although he's much better when compared with others (Yes Infinite Stratos, I'm looking at you).
What really makes me finish this series is the beautiful, elegant, full with mojo, Erica Blandelli. Yoko Hikasa play her so well that I will definitely remember her for years to come. For her sake alone, I would give such high rating. The rest of the character is decent at best and easily forgotten.
Overall, this is a harem anime and I'm enjoying. Erica…

"Somewhere in an alternate universe, Gilgamesh has a black hair, he's a highschooler and he has his own harem. He also secretly learnt Unlimited Blade Works. But most importantly, he is also a god-slayer. The king of kings. The glorious title given to whom had successfully slain a god."
The quote above pretty much summarizes the entire anime. This anime is an alternate universe of the Fate series. Gilgamesh goes around and kiss girls in order to beat gods. That's pretty much it.
All jokes aside, this anime was pretty awesome and probably one of the anime where "Ecchi" and "Harem" seem acceptable. It was just so fun to watch. I had a great time with it. I feel content.
A pretty amusing anime overall. Only animation and art style requires a little work so it could display the fight scen…

This is by far the worst anime I've ever finished. It was painful watching at times. It was only 13 episodes, but it felt like it was 26. It felt like it would never end.
Story:
The show had the foundation to have a good story. Using mythology from various religions, it created a base story that wasn't half bad. But the story wasn't able to build off of it. It resorted to numerous cliches and anime tropes in order to advance the story. This was a real bummer, since it meant that nothing about the story was ever really unique.
Art:
Easily the best part of the show. The art was done well and was never an issue. Art is like a good offensive line in football, you only notice it when it's either great or really bad. The art was never a distraction, and allowed me to focus on the story, for…

Campione!: Matsurowanu Kamigami to Kamigoroshi no Maou (2012)
STORY:
Main protagonist Kusanagi, Godou goes to Italy to deliver something for his playboy grandfather. He finds out he actually has a Grimoire and then after a few events he makes a pact with a god to then use his powers to defeat an evil one. He gets a cute girl who is overly attached immediately with a harem that builds throughout.
The story itself isn’t that bad, although silly at times it is satisfying. One of the best shows with ecchi to be honest. It is placed in the story with good positioning and the characters do go through a lot without just needless flashes and positions. It is a different one in that the girls accept one is the main and others are side girls to the greatest extent.
ART:
For 2012 it is really g…

This show falls in at about a 7.5 for me, it is fun but the pacing is a bit rushed. I like the characters but the main story doesn't really go anywhere or more complete sense. It could have used the more typical 25ish episode run. The characters are a high point but more time to flesh them out would have been nice.
This show in a lot of ways is a great primer for High School DXD, which is a more adult show. (except for the spoiler scene)
SPOILERS:
It was funny having characters kiss when so many shows have holding hands as a OMG moment. The not-sex scene is so funny, because it even changes angles to prove there is not-sex happening.

THE STAFF
- Animated by Diomedea, a studio that makes only shitty ecchi anime.
- Directed by Kusakawa Keizou, the guy who also did Lyrical Nanoha, a franchise most watch for the fan service.
- Based on a light novel, which means a dumb story. There you go, just from the get-go you already know it will be a dumb story full of ecchi that you will be watching for the fan service.
SPECIFICS
The excuse of the story finds a high school with a grimoire that gives him superpowers after he meets a magical sword-wielding tsundere. And as you can already guess with one sentence alone, this is yet another Shana-clone show. They just try to flavour it a bit by making it begin in Italy, where a huge monster that is supposed to be a god or something is trashing everything. And that is as far as they go.…

this anime anyone should look at is a masterpiece !!
I like it a lot, a harem with a rather original story, but one that does not excite.
The fact that it was set also in Italy intrigued me a lot but in the end the result is an enjoyable series that does not excel in any aspect, except perhaps for the unusual setting, among other things rather cured, of Cagliari.
The story revolves around Godou Kusanagi, a Japanese boy who is in Italy (Sardinia) to deliver, under request of his grandfather, an old stone tablet. Here he has his first contact with the gods and the supernatural, having to even face the mythical Persian god of victory Verethragna. Thanks to the help of Erica Blandelli, an Italian girl known a little earlier, and to the stone tablet - which in reality is a powerful grimoire - t…

Robert's Too Late Reviews is rolling on the scene! We're going to be discussing the dubbed version of Campione which I found to be a pretty nice show, and it would have cleared an 8 overall from me if not for a handful of small missteps. Quick of it is, if you don't mind some lighter ecchi elements and harems don't make you want to stab someone, then Campione might just rock the house for ya. Let's look at the breakdown and see if there are any new Red Devils for the RTLR wall of harem queens!
Story: 7
I'm a total sucker for mythology and the supernatural/occult, and Campione delivers pretty well in this area. The two biggest mistakes are ones that (theoretically could still be fixed) there aren't enough of the 'avatar' powers the male lead inherits showcased, and there's not that many go…

Pros
- A lot of information about God from different culture
- Good placement of fan service, it leads into romance instead of just for fun
- Not your everyday ecchi where the main character fall down and "miraculously" grab some boobs or see some panties
- Unique characters personality. Each girls have their own personality and they have different reaction on how to handle the main character
- Mild comedy
- Great art style
- The battle scene looks cool. There is also some cool words before every skills
- There's a mixture with Italian language and accent which is very cool and sexy Cons
- Some characters need more explanation
- Quite predictable storyline

This anime is "alright" in a general aspect. The story development executes an understandable set of events while also handling character development considerably well, and we get to see the male lead turn into a dynamic part of the anime. Campione! also gives a good reason to why it's labeled as "ecchi," and I'm sure you won't be disappointed when you watch. Though, after about halfway into the anime, it just feels dragged-on and get's quite boring in my opinion. It was really hard to watch Campione! after about seven episodes, but the conclusion to the animeography made the wait well-worth it.

Haven't you always wanted an anime where the main character has a giant golden sword, but instead of using it like a sword, fights by stating facts about various mythologies?! No? Me either. How about one where the protagonist gains knowledge by tongue kissing girls? Only if it's a full on hentai.
This is anime is just bad. Sometimes it seems like its goal is to just give the viewer a history lesson, but even then some of the facts from myths it says are wrong. There are so many problems with this anime that it's difficult to choose a place to start criticizing.
All you need to know is that it is bad. If you like saliva, poorly explained mythology, and lots of standing around, then give it a whirl.
The only reason it isn't lower than 2 stars is because the animation didn't suck and you…

[SPOILERS AHEAD]
I thought this was nothing more than a typical ecchi/harem/action anime, until I realized what a masterpiece it is while watching episode 12. That's when it hit me: an epiphany, a moment of bliss when I became one with the Universe. What i'm refering to of course is the "suggestive" sex scene.
Just when I was getting excited about the MC finally getting angry and turning BADASS MODE on, he forcefully gets on top of a girl and kisses her, while saying ridiculous things like "take it in.." and she's screaming in her head "I can feel your power". And the true climax? She says it's the first time he really "kissed" her and he then kisses her so hard that she bleeds a little.
This started as a cool anime but then it turned into something so absurd and cringy, that I can't h…

Keep in mind that the premise is absurd, and normally the scores I give on this level give a lower score normally. The background music ranges from awful, to extremely cheesy, to boringly generic. I like the art, but nothing outstanding. The story, while creative, isn't enough to have me give more than a 3 in story.
I rated the character and enjoyment factors to be a 10, the cast is likeable and enjoyable, from random loli Athena, to greatest waifu of all-time-ever-no-bones-about-it Erica (Fight me m8 if ya disagree :P) to a protagonist that makes me rage like Godou (but at least I care enough about him) to the white haired knight girl.
The reason I'm scoring so high is the absurd levels of satisfaction in the climax of the relationship between Godou and Erica. I rarely get the level of…

disappointed -- harem took 9 episodes to officially take off
jk let's be real
I thoroughly enjoyed watching the anime, kept me wanting to watch more (meh maybe its because MC kisses someone every episode)
the only problem I had with this anime was that too many things left unexplained (although I guess they probably explain it in the LN)... If things were properly explained, then I probably would've given this anime a 9, or even a 10. (sorry bruh, but I can't understand anything you say about the god's background when you speed through it, even though I am pretty knowledgeable about Greek/Roman mythology)
Sometimes though it feels as if the harem is fake -- the people are only sticking to him because they want to win his power over to their side. This is probably because it seems as if al…

Campione, the series I kept mispronouncing as "champion", is a subpar action-based harem with a very uneven plot line and so many incorrect uses of classical mythology that it would cause a classics professor to commit suicide. If you enjoyed the likewise-confused plot line of Hagure Yuusha no Estetica, know that this is very similar except with (more traditional) stronger female leads.
So basically, a dude returns a tablet-like relic that his grandfather passed down (no explanation) to a mage/slut and, soon after being asked to keep it, decides to use it against a god and successfully becomes a god-slayer. Now with literally god-like powers, he soon attracts a harem; conveniently enough, the only way for magic to work on his surprisingly human looking non-human body is through his lips.…
