The Hidden Dungeon Only I Can Enter

The Hidden Dungeon Only I Can Enter

Introduction

Despite his noble title, Noir Stalgia is at the bottom of the social hierarchy. Because of this, his fellow nobles oppress him and treat him like garbage. However, he possesses a rare yet powerful ability to communicate with the Great Sage, an oracle who grants Noir the answer to absolutely anything. After failing to secure a job as a librarian, Noir decides to join the Hero Academy. He knows he must become stronger to enter the institution. The Great Sage advises him to explore a hidden dungeon deep within the mountains. There, Noir meets Olivia Servant, a beautiful yet enchained maiden trapped within the labyrinth. Olivia bestows upon Noir a set of ridiculously powerful skills that grants him virtually total control over reality. Naturally, there is a catch—every time Noir attempts to use his powers, his life points decrease, putting his life at risk. To replenish his energy, he must give in to worldly pleasures such as kissing his childhood friend! With his newfound powers, Noir begins his journey as a student in the Hero Academy, meeting new acquaintances and helping them through the dire situations ahead. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

I once dropped it around eps 9 before, but now I watch the whole series. I usually still watch cheap harem for the jokes or plot, but come on man this anime doesn't have plot till the end. First, the serve you with a really kind noble and suddenly MC come to the rescue. They don't talk that much, why bother to rescue a stranger just because she's beautiful. He already have Emma wtf bro. If I were the author, at least I will make something like a noble party where MC and his sister get bullied instead of academy bullies. It's like watching a kid shows. Second, there's too much b00bs. For joke or pleasure like Konosuba or even redo of healer, we gain fanservice after a lot of hardwork make it really worthy. But for this....It's not worth it. Last, the ending. I thought there's a plot, fin…

Mediocre in practically every way Ore dake Haireru Kakushi Dungeon is one of those anime that makes its target audience clear right from the first few episodes. The show makes no secret of the fact that its main draw is *ecchi* content, using the fantasy setting merely as a backdrop to justify suggestive situations and the protagonist's growth. The problem is that, once you look past the fan service, there is very little left to truly capture one's interest. The premise actually sparks some curiosity. The protagonist discovers a secret dungeon that only he can access and gains an incredibly powerful ability: spending points known as LP (Life Points) to create new skills, upgrade existing ones, or empower others. The method for acquiring these points is somewhat unconventional: he must ex…

Review: The Hidden Dungeon Only I Can Enter (Ore Dake Haireru Kakushin Danjon) Overall Rating: 10/10 (Masterpiece) Synopsis & Concept The anime introduces a brilliantly refreshing and incredibly entertaining concept to the fantasy/harem genre. The idea of a hidden dungeon combined with Noir’s unique ability to edit skills using life points (LP) creates an instantly addictive hook that keeps you invested from the very first episode. Story & Pacing The storyline and its mature themes are the absolute highlights of the series. It fully embraces its ecchi and harem elements, delivering highly attractive, well-integrated fan service that drives the plot forward perfectly. The narrative moves at a very fast and thrilling pace. While the rapid progression might feel quick at times, it ensure…

This anime is a good example of why focusing on your strengths is such a important thing. It showed a lot of promise in how it deals with its silly harem, and I gotta say that it was really fun to see these scenes being more wholesome and comedic rather than just tastelessly appeasing horny desires. Seeing Noir getting body rubbed by two girls and forming a "pretty girl sandwich" (literally what they called it) seems so creatively kinky to me, I'm pretty sure it awakened alot of folks' deepest desires. But honestly they could have done even more with the harem, and everytime the story shifts focus to something else it always feels much less fun and dynamic. Noir's lowkey freaky when he's dealing with his harem (and there's a fun explanation for why he's actively being so), but his actions…

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…

Someone actually sat down and made this. I get that it's a harem and an ecchi anime and all, but some parts are just irredeemably cringe. I've only seen two or three artistically good scenes, and the style is alright, but I feel like this anime was made using a checklist of tropes and a bad grasp of what actually goes on in the world. Stupid character design, and they all just felt flat. Can't remember a single one of them. Also, is the story meant to be based on an RPG or what? What the hell is going on? I don't want to say any more, it's not worth my time. It probably won't be worth yours either.

Main character wants to get stronger (and has all it takes to accomplish that), but when being strong actually matters...? He's just another common boy with a sword, support skills and ability to tell the obvious facts. Don't throw away all the character progression just because you want to make the opponent also seem strong. "Being creative" doesn't necessarily mean "come up with weird and unusual stuff". It also means "you can do anything that will help you". The harem aspect is just another "I don't want to hurt this girl's feelings... and this girl, and this one". Protagonist is being a pushover and all the girls are fighting for him with eachother. It's annoying.

"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!

A Generic Harem where the straightforwardness of the Childhood friend is wasted on another dense Male lead who taking into account everything in the series and the first couple of episodes is a moron, especially when it comes to his abilities. It has episodes that act serious & lack the perverted scenes & jokes that make the show tolerable and in doing so make you feel like you've wasted 20 mins on a boring slog. While this sort of show should be experienced by turning off your brain, the blatant lack of following its own rules & inconsistent LP system whips you out of that mindset because it's so frustrating. Overall a lot of the shows issues are more evident during the second half of the season with 'serious' episodes showing up out of nowhere and a rushed finale. It's a shame because…

tl;dr: A harem wish fulfillment type anime with no depth that’s very open about what it wants to do and manages to do it pretty well. This anime isn’t an isekai, but it follows a lot of the standard isekai tropes. It features the protagonist, Noir, gaining a number of skills that make him overpowered and then a bunch of girls fall in love with him. What I think makes this a bit unique is that it felt like it was much more open and blatant in being a wish fulfillment fantasy compared to most similar anime, for better or worse. The primary example of this is that his OP abilities are literally powered by wish fulfillment, in that in order to use them he needs to spend LP points which are gained by fulfilling worldly desires. I believe this essentially means committed any of the seven sins,…

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…

Ore dake Haireru Kakushi Dungeon is a harem anime that follows the reheated formula of other harem shows. It offers nothing new in terms of story or characters, and instead relies on tired tropes and stereotypes to carry the show. The show also suffers from being stupidly degenerate, with excessive fan service and sexualization of its female characters. While some viewers may enjoy this aspect of the show, it detracts from the already weak plot and makes the characters feel one-dimensional. Furthermore, the main character is extremely dumb when it comes to using his powers, which is frustrating to watch. He repeatedly makes foolish decisions that somehow works because "MC", and his lack of foresight and planning undermines any potential tension or excitement in the story. The way he uses…

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.

This is a super easy anime to review. This is purely dumb fantasy harem where you must throw out all logic and reason to enjoy. Plot Basically, MC gains a skill to create skills, grant them to anyone/anything, modify them and even remove them. but it drains his life points for doing. He can gain life points by doing happy things like eating tasty food, earning money or **doing ecchi stuff**. the anime is mostly him farming waifus, while trying to become stronger smh.There's not much of an overarching goal/plot or anything. Story arc starts, MC uses his god tier skill to solve it, but he needs to earn the required points. so, anime gets an ecchi tag :). Now, ignore everything above. because the plot is just there for convenience. Most of it doesn't make any sense if you use more than on…

It's one of those shows which make you wonder if writers were indeed intellectually challenged or they consider the rest of us to be so. Because at no point any one of them sat down and asked a question: if he can create any skill, why wouldn't he create a skill where he gets million LP every time he breathes in. Then he can use those points to do whatever he want and become a god. But plot convenience would have it otherwise because you see he needs to look at poorly animated tits and not get horny or get an erection. You know just your regular Japanese fantasy where nothing actually happens but he gets nose bleeds when touching hands. Other than that, I actually liked the art. Backgrounds are nice and well drawn. Character design is actually okay for once. They don't beat around the bus…

There two types of entertainment most people would find questionable: one is represented by the average Russian citizen watching Rio's regional soccer championship (the lowest professional tier possible, played by neighborhood dudes) because the World boycotted your national tv. The other is watching a Japanese chicken-raising show on the international tv service because you're drunk with your roommates. The first you only do for lack of anything better, the other because you're embracing the joke. Some people try to fit Hidden Dungeon in the second group, but it doesn't. Appearing in this God-forsaken hellhole means you're likely reconsidering this anime after dropping it in its launching season, or you want to laugh after seeing how this is bad. This anime is fully ecchi, no-story, inc…

"THE HIDDEN DUNGEON ONLY I CAN ENTER" Genre- Action, Adventure, Fantasy, Comedy, Harem, Ecchi. While he may rank high as a noble, his family still lies at the bottom of the social hierarchy, making life for our MC, Noir Stalgia, a daily task. One where he has to overcome all the remarks and comments, one where people should think twice before associating with him, and a life where opportunities are stolen by those in higher ranks. While Noir may be unlucky because of his social standing, things soon take a turn for the better as he is blessed with the power of a Great Sage and upon encountering Olivia Servant, an adventurer bound to chains of Death in the Secret Dungeon, who shares her set of skills with the boy. Things now turn steamy and this is where the heroics of Noir Stalgia final…

If I had to choose between Hidden Dungeon and its near-peer DanMachi, I ironically would pick the former. Although Hidden Dungeon is essentially what you would expect (a trashy, harem, romcom, fantasy adventure with a dungeoning twist), it does so without reservation or apology. This ends up making it significantly more enjoyable and, surprisingly rewatchable. Story: 7/10 The story or overall plot progression of Hidden Dungeon is pretty standard. You have your very typical character introduction (via narration), some opening arcs to set the scene and introduce the main girls, a few growth arcs, some fillers, and finally the ultimate battle at the end. If you're looking for some philosophical deep-take, you probably will be disappointed; but if you're just looking for a good time, then i…

My score: 6/10. Story: 6/10 Art style & Animation: 7/10. My enjoyment level: 7/10. Would I recommend it: Yes Overall Opinion: It was a good slow story paced story, the characters were good and funny, has good amount of ecchiness which improves the story a bit. The action scenes are all decent. A good and funny harem story which you should watch. Good anime to watch when you are feeling down or some thing light to enjoy. Has action, good comedy and a decent story which will make you a lot happy. The characters were perfect for the story, they improved the story in their own way and their interactions with our Male lead MC made the show better

I watched this thing because of other people's reviews, people were complaining about this show being yet another ecchi and/or harem. I figured that some random boobs here and there might actually be a saving grace, no matter how bad the show would be. I was very wrong, there are no words to describe how terrible this show truly was. This was by far the worst anime I have ever seen in my entire life, out of all of them, hundreds if not thousands, this one was the absolute worst. I'm even regretting now my previous 1 star reviews of other shows, like boruto, which I thought was an insult to the original naruto series, no, this one was not subjectively bad, but it was objectively bad. The only thing about this show that was decent to good was the animation, but every single other aspect was…
