Good looking and well animated.
The Main Character characterization is consistent throughout the whole show.
Lecherous bits, funny bits, serious bits broken by lecherous funny bits.
There were some stupid funny moments.
Combat is cool but it has some misses.
The telling of the story is great and interesting, specially the backstory, the personality of every character is well characterized and not overly loud.
Honestly kind of sad this didn't get a second season yet. It has a good follow up.
Well I guess since it has a lecherous Main Character in nature it wouldn't have aired during the day.
A real shame.

This is definitely in the ecchi zone: Overpowered protagonist protects large-breasted unmistakable pink-haired girl from villains etc. I found this rather enjoyable to watch.
Some parts of it are pretty funny. Not going to spoil it, but the MC has a unique... habit/ability which adds some zest to the shower scenes.
Some of the soundtracks are also genuinely good music, although it's hard to notice when they're muted compared to the rest of the show. I would recommend trying to find them elsewhere for a listen.
If you think you can survive watching an overpowered MC ecchi anime, then this will probably be a good watch for you.

So, Hagure Yuusha no Estetica/Aesthetica of a Rogue Hero is such an interesting case study in anime. It has all the clichés, tropes, all the fan-service imaginable, it is made in a colour the dots kind of way, and yet you still want to continue watching it.
Overpowered hero who is somewhat lacking in magical abilities? Check.
Said hero being very cheeky and ecchi? Check.
Two worlds co-existing in a strange manner? Check.
Completely dumb and useless heir to the Dark Lord who falls for the hero in an instant? Check.
Academy for gifted? Check.
Delicate worldbuilding and world explanation made at times and then nothing to come off of it during the rest of the series? Check.
Main male and female leads jump-starting the academy at the second best ranking surpassing hundreds who spent years to ge…

Overview:
"Aesthetica of a Rogue Hero" should really be called "Aesthetics of a Rogue Hero", because that's exactly what the series values above all else- aesthetics. It does a fine job at using style to make various things about it seem very impressive, but when you look deeper, you realise that these things are nowhere near as great as they appear at first glance, and other than a fairly unorthodox protagonist (which isn't necessarily for the better), there isn't all that much that separates it from other anime of its kind.
Story (6/10):
The series is set in an alternate version of Earth that runs parallel to a fantasy world called Alayzard, where people are frequently spirited away to and those who survive are granted magical powers. One such person is Akatsuki Ousawa, a young man who…

If anime could be rated as food, then this show would be the fastest, greasiest fast food in the industry.
Featuring an MC who can only be described as Chad Chaddington, a manly man of manliness who decides to flex on everyone in order to have a good time.
Animation / Art / General Visuals - 7/10
-----------------------------------------------
Eh, pretty average. Standard anime fare. Nothing stands out, other than female face design being a little "off" to my tastes. There's some solid boob action, including some nice fondling, but nothing more than that.
Sound / Music / Voice Acting - 7/10
------------------------------------------
Average again. Sound and music exists. Characters have voices.
Story - 5/10

Mr. Chad Chaddington is one of the few people summoned to a…

This was a surprisingly hilarious anime.
The overpowered main protagonist is nothing short of a sleezy dude, and while he is a sleezeball he does show good potential and is a man of his word. Obviously, this is a pretty trash anime, but I went into it expecting nothing less, and so maybe since my expectations were exceedingly low, it allowed me to enjoy the anime for what it is. It does attempt at being serious from time to time, but does a overall good job at breaking up the dramatic monotony by adding in some fun comedic breaks. Obviously there is some ecchi in this anime, and so be warned.
The plot mostly centers around main-protag-kun so if you are looking for more depth and development from other side characters, this is not the anime for that. Most of the other characters are use…

Animated by Studio Arms, and directed by Kujou Rion, both of which have made nothing but porn-related works. This show is no exception; it is heavy on fan service, has ecstatic in its title, and the main picture shows one guy and many chicks. Plus it is the adaptation of a light novel, so it doesn’t take a genius to tell it won’t be a mature show about the meaning of life.
Let’s start by something easy; the production values are average to bad for their time. Half the time I felt like I was watching a low budget hentai; dull animation and cookie cutter characters defined only by hair colour and boob size. The soundtrack is also nothing but forgettable songs. There are supposed to be some famous voice actors in it but I sure didn’t give a damn if they all sound like retards with the materi…

I mean.. I love borderline hentai as much as the next weeb but I mean.. I think the backstory would have been way more enjoyable to watch than the main plot. I'd have much rather watched how he defeated the demon lord, why he had to, the dynamic between the demon lord and his daughter.. all that good stuff. But we were just thrown into the plot, no sense of what kinda power system they got.. I mean, I know its a type of magic but like.. cmon, a little bit more context would have been nice. anyway, overall, I was confused 2 thirds of the time and the only times I wasn't confused was when they got their dirty-dirty freak-freak on which I mean, I'm not complaining about at all (nicely done and much appreciated). Also, I absolutely loved the dialogs in it. Brilliant world views, ideologies. Ve…

umm well i might be in the minority here but hagure yuusha no asthetica is undoubtedly on of the best eechi/shounen anime to ever exist. If you are like me and enjoy the occasional partial nudity with overpowered mc then this anime might be right up your alley. It has great art and your average perverted mc (such as issei from dxd) so if you like such mcs then this anime is a recommended. I unlike most of them personally thought the plot wasnt that bad but it wasnt extremely good either. Also one good thing about this that unlike most anime the mc isnt some dumb generic mc (who somehow magically makes a girl fall for him just by giving a tissue for that one time she sneezed) but actually handsome and smart so i personally find this type more relatable so if any what you are looking for in…

The scripting and voice acting for the dub are good, except for stretches in later episodes where a turn of phrase is used in nearly every line for every character, no matter how out of place. Still, one of the reasons to watch is the perky, comedic writing of the English dub over. Other reasons would be the genre fusion, random sex scenes, funny sketches, and self-insert chadly main character doing all the things you wish your virgin main character from those other anime shows you watch in your Mom's basement would do instead of being virgins.
The premise starts with Akki the rogue hero who has been Isekai'd, saved that world from the demon lord, and is now actually coming back because he has "responsibilities" he can't just neglect despite the protests of his gf there. He enrolls in mil…

This anime is basically an isekai anime but in this world. The background of the story is that there are many different "other worlds" that people from earth have been summoned into. In some of those worlds there are dimensional portals, allowing the "heroes summoned from earth" to eventually return and about half of them do. Furthermore, it seems that heroes who've gained superpowers, be it super-strength or magic, get to keep them when they come back. There is a special school called "Babel", intended only for those returnees, which helps continue train them for... some purpose.
Our story begins where your usual isekai story ends - The hero's, named Ousawa Akatsuki, who, is obviously overpowered but also really perverted (with a signature move of stripping women's bra in a split-second w…

Hi. Welcome to another round of Robert's Too Late Reviews! Today as usual we are working the dub version. I recently reviewed Chivalry of a Failed Knight, and bemoaned repeatedly the whole 'overpowered meek and humble hero', well there is NONE of that to be had here! That and we are thrown some twists at the ending which I found appealing as well. Let's throw down this show and see what we've got going!
Story:7
The story isn't anything to write home about. Little boy gets zaps into another world, lives there his whole childhood, gains superpowers and then returns. Not all that unusual there. His kicker, as the synopsis mentions is that instead of a magic sword or treasure, he brings back the daughter of a Demon Lord he destroyed (with the Demon Lord's blessing oddly enough) and on returni…

To be perfectly honest this is not that great a story. It's very strange that score is higher than the author's later show Shinmai Maou no Testament.
The Male MC is pretty much a Mary Sue. He has no real character progression. He has Goku like power right from the beginning. And in only one spot in the entire 12 episodes was he even hurt.
The female characters were, unfortunately, only there so that he could protect them. This is a contrast from Shinmai Maou no Testament where is of the female leads actually had skills that were needed and contributed to the harem as a whole.
If you've not seen Shinmai Maou no Testament yet, just skip this one and go watch the better story.

Whenever I watch a new ecchi anime, I always wonder how much fanservice there will be, and how much the story, pacing, and characters will suffer for it, if there will be a balance. The balance in this anime is bad. I guess to be able to enjoy it you have to see it as a comedy, or even a parody.
Setting:
Most of the setting takes place on modern Earth. At random moments, young men and women are randomly spirited away to the fantasy world of Alayzard. It’s never explained how or why this happens, because reasons I guess. Eventually, the spirited people return to Earth with magical abilities. This isn’t explained either. Academies have been built around the world to allow these people to train and hone their new abilities. The setting, despite the lack of explanations, could hold potential,…

Theres only one (1) thing you need to ask.
Q. Was it entertaining
A. For me, Yes so much so that over 5 years ive watched it 3 times
Thats all I consider when watching a movie, tv series, doco, anime, was I entertained.
This ones not the best ive seen nor is it one of the worst, but I found it entertaining.
So nough said... Graphics are good considering some of the kid like graphics some of the current animes are coming out with, almost like there drawn by new studios or studios who dont have the budget for better graphics.
Storyline, lets think about anime story lines, ive seen anime that have plots and story line better than some of the block buster movies that have been released. this one is ok, it moves along and theres not too many flash back scenes and they did include meanwhil…

**Some Mild Spoilers**
This anime is something else. It's like they decided to build a story around a character that can be likable but can also be despised all at the same time, but strangely enough it works and it is what really got me to enjoy this anime to begin with.
This anime tells the tale of a character that at the very first episode he conquers and defeats a dark lord and fulfills a promise to the dark lord to look after his daughter. Once he returns to his home world he takes the dark lord's daughter back with him. This anime strictly focuses on the antics of him and and the dark lord's daughter as they return to Earth and they get enrolled into this school because of their skills in combat and magic. Unfortunately things are never that simple and bringing the dark lord's daug…

This was a pretty good anime. I really love the characters and the story is decent. It has epic powers and fights. The nudity in it was very sexy also. Another thing I like about it is some of the characters were voiced by some of the people that voiced characters from anime that I really love. The main character is such a bad ass especially with his fists. The anime has a good amount of comedy scenes. The only bad thing about it is how they ended it
If you want a great action anime with sexy ecchi scenes then this is the anime for you.

3rd review. Please treat me well.
This could've been good. This could've been an actual honest-to-gods properly done good harem anime.... Where did it all go wrong???
Story: 3
This story had an interesting backdrop where a hero finished mopping up the demon lord and brought back his daughter as souvenir. So where did it go wrong?? Well first off, they started the series off right when he was leaving the fantasy realm after defeating the demon lord, therefore he was already immensely powerful, so powerful that he could potentially win every single battle, single-handedly. Here was an MC that could literally be god due to how powerful he is. A good comparison would be to say that his rpg gaming level is 99. Or perhaps... "Vegeta. What does the scouter say about his power level?" "It's over…

If you like overpowered heroes and overpowering ecchi, you'll like this. It has a lot of interesting pieces, but doesn't utilize them, instead focusing too much on the sex stuff. A lot of parts can actually be considered softcore hentai in my opinion.
I enjoy the overpowered hero genre, which is why I am disappointed in this. The series sets up a number of possible plots that could fill a second season on their own, but it has never had a sequel and really doesn't deserve one.
I would say it's worth one view and then can be forgotten, but it's definitely not for everyone.
