This anime is about a group of students who are part of something called the "Otogi Bank." The purpose of this bank is to help people in exchange for favors. So, basically, they fulfill a request for you, and in return, you owe them a favor. That's the essence of the anime.
Now, talking about the main characters, we have Ookami, who is a classic tsundere girl. She's explosive and short-tempered, but deep down, she's actually quite delicate. She has this personality because of a traumatic experience she went through in middle school. I won't go into details because it would be a spoiler. This subplot involving her is explored and developed throughout the story alongside the requests for help that the Otogi Bank receives from other students.
As for the protagonist, we have Ryoushi, a guy w…

There's nothing more misleading than this animes synopsis and profile image
To summarise,
The club is C-rated version of Oregairu's humanitarian club where they helped other people and got back favours (Here favours are mandatory, oregairu had a 'with the flow' kinda thing)
The personalities are original as in completely different from oregairu MC's but too much used in the anime world
Plotlines; I haven't read the light novel but In the anime it sure was forced. eg. The arcs are completely 19th century typical shounen manga ones but they had to force some dark themes(nsfw) and it's not that they added it to give a wider view on things, They just added it and left it to the viewers imagination.

It's entertaining enough if you have nothing else to watch but it really just felt like they were super confident they'd get a second season so a lot of the show is "motw" with a little exposition in there with no broader storylines being tied up neatly at the end. The male MC's quirk is that he's scared of being stared at, which really just becomes an annoying and overused bit over the course of the show. The female MC is like taiga(toradora) + maid-sama but infinitely more irritating than both. I wouldn't recommend it unless ur looking for something mindless to fall asleep to.

Overview:
On the surface, "Okami-san and her Seven Companions" seems to be a modern-day retelling of classic fairy tales, with most, if not all, of its characters being based off ones from those stories, most notably "Little Red Riding Hood." Surprisingly, "Okami-san" is NOT that series. Its fairy tale motifs are mostly superficial and rarely have anything to do with the characters' personalities or stories. Strip those away, however, and all you have is an enjoyable but ultimately generic high school action series with very few things that any anime fan is unlikely to have seen before.
Story (6/10):
Set in the fictional city of Otogibana, "Okami-san" revolves around the members of the Otogi Bank, an organization consisting of students from Otogi High School that is dedicated to helping o…

I guess I'd still call it "good" overall, if you approach it with the right expectations - the focus is on the comedy/parody/romcom mix, not on the little bit of action/story that will utterly disappoint.
I didn't know what to expect getting into it, not having seen any previews/reviews and even the reference in the title flew over my head. So the first episode turned out very misleading for me - I got hooked by the idea of great action fights with a cute railguny FMC and lowkey awesome MC, interesting and unique weapons, etc. Even the "side quest" characters in its second part could dish out/receive some serious kick, so my hype was still real - a 10/10 start.
The fairy tale mix was a nice surprise, but hinted at my mistaken first impression, and I was quickly brought back to reality as…

Watched this for the second time today and enjoyed it even more this time, I love how it meshes fairy tails with some modern situations, for a cute boy loves girl and becomes a man through their adventures together tail it covers some heavy subject matter, I can't explain what it is because I don't wish to spoil it for anyone who wishes to enjoy it. It's a little like Toradora lite but if you watch it the two heroins have much different demons to deal with. All in all it's a good watch and unlike many others reviews I didn't mind the narration and all the characters had enjoyable substance to them. If you like RomCom with some action mixed in this might be for you. Oh BTW this is now on my buy list, I would be sadly disappointed if I could not watch it whenever I felt like it.

It’s not the best romance series I have watched. Ryoko and Ryoushi do not get enough screen time together to start building relationship that is where I think the anime fails at. A lot of the times the characters aren’t together there off doing other things.
The sound track isn’t bad it fits very well with the story. The characters are like able. In my opinion this anime is a decent story for anyone who is just wanting to watch a romance anime.
This is my first time writing review a anime. So most of my review might not make sense.

Okami-San and her seven companions. This was a cute little anime series. The story and visuals were a little lack luster which hurts the enjoyment factor. The sound or music was a bright shining star in this anime. The opening and closing songs are very good.
The story is cute which does a play on the two female main characters being red riding hood and the big bad wolf. The story hints at altruism versus selfishness. It deals with how far would you go to help a friend, but remember to protect yourself, ideals, and interests.
It's a schoolyard/fairy tale/love story. It's eye candy with punch drunk love. Now it seems like I'm in romance with it. It is a fairly enjoyable series. It lacks a deep story and characters, but it is an enjoyable romp through the woods and perhaps middle school. M…

I think this anime was like (too simple). The story is too simple and as well as the story. The main wasn't enjoyable at all. He was a serious bleep and the girl was nearly like a boy. But then, what made me rate this anime 6. Well it is because it had a happy ending. Well happy? but a bit sad. And why?( no spoilers). But the anime was like lacking of story and creation of characters.
But that is my opinion, I am so sorry if I destroyed the enjoyment of the anime. But that is my opinion.
But yeah please have a good anime months (PEACE).

Ookami-san to Shichinin no Nakama-tachi is the kind of anime where you'll quite enjoy it in your free time, and probably this is what this anime meant to be. Honestly, this anime is average as its best but they really and seriously had a chance to make it decent and unfortunately they failed to deliver it to make it great. The concept is relative mainstream but consider it's 2010 anime, i am not sure it's bad idea at all, and the story...yup the weakest part of this anime. So let's begin with this review for every aspects:
-Maybe i unintentionally to give some spoilers, so spoilers alert-
(Story)= 5
Well like i said before, this is the most underwhelming part and aspect for this anime. Let's take a look from the main focus of this anime, there is a tsundere girl called Ookami Ryouko who…

Ookami San is one of those anime that are hard to find. It had a wonderful set of characters and a unique plot to boost it's appeal, although the plot was kinda rushed. It also showed how a Tsundere is REALLY done. I first watched this anime a year ago (when I started out anime) and rewatched it just today, and so have a review ready.
Story: 7/10
The story was quite unique in it's own sense. First the positives, a lot of plot was covered in just 12 episodes and the benefit was that not a minute was wasted in filler episodes. Though like most modern high school anime a pool episode was a must, but thankfully Ookamisan snuck up a small plot point there as well. The biggest problem I faced with the anime was that the plot was rushed up…

Here in 2010, the anime world has reached a point of knowing what panders to anime fans. What is the right way to pander? Well, Studio J.C. Staff seems to know of a formula containing of cute girls, school, a school club, a few pretty boys, and a cast of trope characters. Ookami-San and Her Seven Companions is the culmination of how to make an average anime. Is this anime average though? Well, given the tough task of trying to get something special out of this anime was none other than the Love Hina director Yoshiaki Iwasaki.
This story is a comedy parody of sort focused around a tom-boy like character in Ookami Ryouko. It follows her and her friends around their adventures surrounding their sort-of club called the Otogoi Bank. This club is tasked with solving any and all problems ranging…

Ookami-san to Shichinin no Nakama-tachi is an anime that had some potential, but ended up going nowhere after being dragged down by a variety of factors.
First up is the narration aspect. Clearly intended to be a comedic device, the narration was funny, I guess, in a forced way. However, it clashes with the fact that this anime was supposed to be a RomCom, dragging down some of the show's few potentially impactful serious scenes with random comedy that falls flat. Also, the narration comes in randomly over top of the regular lines, making it so that they can't be heard. While the lines that get blocked out are never all that important, it still detracts from the experience. This sort of comedy narration might work in a pure comedy, but it just annoys here.
Second, the story ends up going…

Ookami-san to Shichinin no Nakama-tachi is an overall okay anime, not the greatest but not the worst. Long review ahead and is generally spoiler free.
Story
The story is like your standard highschool romance comedy. But unlike most highschool romance comedies, there is an actual villain - Hitsujikai. His and Ookami Ryouko's past is what makes the show more interesting. Each episode has underlying fairy tale references which are interesting and well executed.
The story does have flaws too. Some of the episodes are quite strong. For example, my favourite episode - Episode 9 where Shirayuki-senpai and Akai Ringo's past is shown is one of the strong points in the story. It adds to Ringo's character and makes her more developed and takes away the impression that she is just Ookami Ryouko's…

This show doesn't quite give what you'd expect if you were going in to find a good story because frankly, the main overarching story does not get resolved at all and you are pretty much left with guessing what actually is happening. The motives of the main villain is never explored and nothing is actually resolved with the conflict as both sides are exactly where they start out at by the end of it. That would what you'd expect out a terrible show but there is still a bit there if you are really digging which people take the chance to cling onto. However, if you are watching for the story, this might be one of the worst show you could watch as it will leave you wondering why did any of it even happen once you finish it.
The general tone of the show regarding Art, Sound and Characters are…

The fact that this is a wasted potential is a shame, this could have been good.
Story
The story started good i was really interested to follow it but then it just started to be more of a comedy/parody without the romance that at some point you think will happen, it never happens, and that was annoying, it also ended being an episodic job of the week anime and the story never progressed.
Art & Sound
Both were like you think will be, good character design and colorful landscape. The sound was good, it was really enjoyable, the VA was good.
Character
This is what the anime is, there's a great variety of characters from fantasy books and you will recognize them, the ones that i liked were Ringo and Ryoushi who at first might seem like a wuss but he shows that he can be a badass for Ryouko t…

This show had great potential but the studio just destroyed any possibility of that. The writers for the show managed to cram eleven books into twelve episodes. The whole show suffered because of this. For whatever reason they seemed to think that the story wouldn't be good enough to have a chance at a second season, and they guaranteed that by using all the material and giving a poor delivery.

Is this show funny? No
How's the story? Nonexistent
How are the characters? Meh
Ookami san has a lot of potential but has major flaws. Every episode is basically filler but it TRIES to have some real plot deep down. To me, this show is supposed to be focused on comedy but it falls flat on its face. There's supposed to be some romance going on between the two main leads but that barely goes anywhere. Why? I have no fucking clue. The characters are pretty one dimensional and forgettable. They try to make Ookami san this tough character but it turns out she's weak on the inside and wants someone to support her. At first this sends a strong message that you can't take on everything by yourself and that you need people that you can rely on but somehow they use this to make our supposedly stron…

My review for Ookami-san to Shichinin no Nakama-tachi
=====================================
Simply a Rom-Com-Drama Slice of life anime, This season has been done as a "day-to-day" adventure, Where each episode is it's own adventure for our cast.
Story : 7/10 :
Partially romance between our main male and female protagonists, Our main protagonists works at "Otagi-Bank" basically I club in school that helps people our in return for favours (I help you, you help me), So each episode is more or less and episode about that, A little more serious than Sket Club but that's essentially what it is.
Art : 8/10 :
The animation was done well, up to standard no reason to complain. ( 9 & 10 scores reserved for distinguishable animation styles that work. Basically a style that is easily recognized as…
