As much as some people have tried to make this sound like not another harem anime, it is another harem but is not another crappy one, reliant on harem alone.
Unlike others have mentioned there are plenty of uncensored versions out there, which to its credit, if you're going to do ecchi, actually have human-shaped breasts, not truncated pyramids like some animes to please channels they are shown on. I am glad they managed this from a harem/ecchi point of view. The art was honestly great that way.
The story was a nice idea, of someone adjusting to the high life, trying to fit into a new society, and meeting new people, which of course, was the typical OP MC style, which we see to a degree here. Despite sucking when against Silvie with a sword. And the drama/action combined in with the hare…

Anime is a pretty generic harem. The beginning is very good and entertaining, then it becomes more boring because it shows that the protagonist has a favorite. This makes the series kind of boring and predictable. In other words, it is not the best anime to see but neither is the but. It is entertaining but not enough to recommend it. The waifus are very good too, so I did not like that I choose one, better to be with all of them.
The animation is very good for the erotic scenes there you can see where the budget of the series went. The soundtrack is not bad but could improve. The character designs are very generic and sexualized to the extreme but hey, it was to be expected, I think it's the anime. I do not recommend it they can see things much better than this.

I already finished this show and I just now looked at how many users Princess Lover has. Holy Jesus! Did I miss something? Over 100,000 users! I feel like I'm out of the loop here. And the score is not all that great, considering the large amount of people who watched this. Princess Lover is serviceable. I legitimately had fun with the show, but at it's core, it all just feels very shallow. I mean, I already had that idea going into it. On the surface it looks like any other generic late 2000's ecchi series, and it was just that, sorta. I'm conflicted, because I had a good time with the show, but I can't say a lot positive things about it.

Not gonna lie, they had us on the first half.
The strongest point of the series is the art and the animation. There are scenes where you clearly can see smooth animation out of characters with detailed/borderline realistic movement. At the beginning of the series, the action scenes actually took me by surprise, and so did the sparring match between Teppei and Saber from «Fate». Nevertheless, this is also their weak point, because when the animation involving rapid action decays, it's very noticeable.
Now, the story started promising, and it turned out better than I thought it would be. But, towards the second half of the series, a villain becomes the focus and basically, a harem-esque, high school story became a poorly cliched save-damsel-in distress story with unrealistic motivations a…

Romance? Romance my foot! This anime is way too unreal, and most of all i hate that how princess Charlotte was the main focus of the anime, the main character Teppei was so obsessed with that princess even after having a fiance, the main character here is a pervert and somehow becomes the center of attention by becoming the grandson of the richest man in the world. And the way it ends he says "i wont dewell on the past, i'll forgive you for killing my parents" i mean WTF this is the worst, the man who killed his parents was a sinner who shall have been punished, but no our mc became too kind after getting himself a girl.
In this whole story i only liked the life of the main character Teppei nothing more really l, when i started this show i had high expectations but i am disappointed, and…

Honestly, looking back at this at 2019, I can say without qualification that this is a really good anime. Sure, the story may have seen really generic with little to no substance, but the show really makes it up by doing good animation and likeable characters (mostly the heroines). It was really enjoyable.
When I compare the animation quality in 2019 with those in the 2000s, it is obvious that the animation industry has gone through a lot of changes and unfortunately, these changes are not positive. The animation execution quality really took a hit in the 2010s with the implementation of horrendous CG to save some costs. Its a sad state of affair. I really hope that the Japanese begin to reflect on the better anime era in the 2000s and change their current practices.

I didn't like this show for many reasons. While it did have some all right parts, it was heavily outweighed by the numerous bad parts. The characters had a little personality as you can basically summarize all of them up with three words or less. The soundtrack and the art were average. Even though the main character wasn't your typical average kid, he still ended up following plenty of cliches in a bad way. It is all so wishy-washy in terms of its genre as it goes from action-filled to gag comedy to romance with the transition between them all not being very good.
I would recommend a show to only people that I don't like and maybe the occasional anime friend that I don't like as this was a waste of my time to watch and I would feel bad recommending this to anyone else.

Its a great shut your brain off and just watch anime. In all honestly doesn't really deserve a 10/10 but it definitely deserves a 8/10 at least. Art is very good looking for an 09' production and even as a previously stated a shut your brain off and just watch show it flushes out each of the characters very well. Main compliments that I've heard are one or two things about ending but, I believe this was done on purpose because it depends on what you want and that is how it happened.
If I had to nitpick after just watching it, it would be that the main love interest motives don't feel as flushed out as the rest of them.

Visual novel that was turned into harem anime… with a rather large budget even. Interesting case for sure. But not really in a good way. It was very entertaining to watch though for all the wrong reasons mostly. It was often so stupid. Like really really stupid. Story was predictable and plotholes were so huge that they make all those boobs look small.
Main plot tells story of Arima Teppei, guy who likes motorcycles and swordfighting. His parents are killed and the he becomes the vengeance, the night, the Batma…wait that’s not how it went! There is Alfred the butler though and a lot of other things that are so much like the life of Bruce Wayne if he would be the main character of harem anime of course.
So parents are killed and the the rich grandfather takes Arima to live with him and…

I'll attempt to make this spoiler-free.
This is not a ground-breaking anime. Despite some of the other reviews I've seen here. It actually IS kind of a generic harem anime. This isn't saying that's a bad thing (a few of my favorite anime can fall into the "generic harem" trope).
For me the truly important part is the enjoyment factor. Which there was plenty of... but then there was also the head scratching "WTF is happening here" factor that damaged my enjoyment of the show. This is exemplified by the apparent confusion over what time period this show took place in. There's Jet airliners and satellite surveillance (1980s or later). But nations' militaries still use horse cavalry (1930s or earlier) and horse-drawn artillery. I don't know if I should chalk this up to the writing team's as…

Money is a fickle thing, the richer your are, it's expected you will be better off but is that always true?.
Princess Lover! as an ecchi harem anime, there was actually alot of potential this anime had and by all means it succeeded in some, in others...well lets start with the characters shall we?
Character-wise, we have our typical harem cast archetypes with a semi-interesting main male protagonist. Shirou- Teppei Arima voiced by Takuma Terashima is our typical "wanting to protect and care for his harem" type with a tragic backstory added to him. The tragic backstory of his parents dying leaving him to his grandfather actually kickstarts the anime but that isn't really his bright spot for the Teppei as a character, it's more or less what happens when a normal teenager is now brought to…

Imagine a story where the MC possess 0 vices, passes up on every opportunity to move in on his "love interests" and makes girls fall in love with him after taking them out shopping once. This is the kind of story Princess Lover is. It's utterly contrived , childish and nonsensical.
The story is a boring pile of drool, there's a guy named Teppei who likes swinging a sword for fun ; a group of large tits show up , he takes them shopping with his 8 digit Visa card and they want to suck his cawk. End of story.
The characters are a total disaster, the MC is a guy who gets a hard on while dancing with a girl. Spectacular. The girls posses 0 traits, just a plethora of green, pink, blond headed zombies who want to devour MC's crotch and credit rating.
The jokes are more boring than a tourism…

At first glance this may seem like an ordinary ecchi, harem anime wtih little to no story. But I surprised by the animation, it may be a little choppy from time to time but the fact that the characters move WHILE talking (at least a little).
STORY
The story is better then some of the other harem anime i have seen but i wouldn't say its good either. Its like Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dances story in a way
like "I lost 6 liters of blood but i can still fight for my friends" type of story. So i didnt enjoy it THAT much. The harem is not satisfying at all...
ART
The art is literally the most average art I have ever seen...
SOUND
I didnt like the soundtrack, but im sure some of you will :)

Its a great anime about oppai and rich people, with average art and (in my opinion) bad soundtr…

When people say this isn't your typical harem anime THEY ARE LYING TO YOUR FACE. Just like every other anime a majority of the girls fall in love with the main protagonist for next to no reason and the further in the anime you get the less sense everything starts to make. Normally for a review a would talk about the story in detail but because this one is essentially only a slice of life for the first 7 eps im going to only briefly talk about them. Warning contains spoilers
Story:
The story centres around Teppei Arima who becomes super rich after been named the heir to the Arima corporation. He then finds out that he has an arranged marriaged to Sylvia Van Hossen.
The first 3 eps is simply introducing the cliche' harems girls (none will stick with you for very long). After that until e…

There are a lot of harem anime around there, but this harem anime was the only one that made me emotional. Princess lover focused more on romance than ecchi, and that's probably the reason why I got more emotional.
The characters were different, especially the MC. Instead of a shy and normal protagonist living a normal life in a normal house, It had Teppei, the heir of a rich man living a dangerous life in a huge mansion. I've never seen any character like him. There's a lot of Charlottes and Sylvias out there, but only a few Teppei. Sure, he resembles other mainstream characters, but you can see that his personality was different from them.
As to the plot, it was perfect. There were no holes other than the open ending. What made it unique from ther harem anime is that it had a balanced…

Coming into Princess Lover!, I only expected generic SoL bullshit. While I did get some of that, the anime surprised me by making shit actually happen.
Spoilers below:
The story itself is a bit overdone, with the main character's parents dying and him coming to be crazy rich because he was adopted by his grandpa all in the first episode. From there, the show takes a nice little slice of life detour for a couple episodes, which develops the relationships between most of the girls and Teppei, and between each other. Then, ABDUCTION, BOMBS, GUNS, CONTROVERSY. With our little female lead being captured, Teppei and the rest of his girls rush in to save her and his grandpa. Of course, only after succeeding will she be taken again. Hartmann's rags to riches story is touching, but he ruins hims…

after watching lots of romance, harem type anime , it's started to feel that most of the story is same and predictable, so I started to feel bored but PRINCESS LOVER is really something different and you'll get definitely new things here or I should say all the good things ( like main male character being the main influence of the story, , cute female characters with different and distinct characteristics and overall not too unreal and boring story) that a romance harem genre anime should have are here.
^^I hope you guys at least start with the first episode because I can promise that from the first moment you guys can feel that it's something different and enjoyable *****~

I've thought a lot about what I think is useful when starting to watch an anime - criteria that might change my thoughts as to whether or not to watch a series. I’ve customized this list to what you typically see in ecchi series. First I give the criterion, then I define the parameters of the criterion, then I state how the series matched up against the specified parameters. I also note how things like art and the soundtrack affect my overall rating of a series (along with what I thought of the two components), if anyone is interested in that.
I don't claim that this criteria will be universal - different people have different tastes and value different things, but this review is what would make/break watching a series for me. Mild spoilers ahead.

"Ill deal with it somehow!" - Teppei Arima
Teppei, a young teenage boy who lived with his mother and father in a social status that could be considered poor, but he was happy. Unknown to him, his life changed dramatically after his parents died in an accident that could be related to the recent attacks on the rich families in his area. Accepting his grandfather's adoption, Teppei is forcibly thrust into a world where he went from poor to filthy rich. The romance/comedy/action that ensues following his attempts at adapting to the rich life is one worth watching.
I found Princess Lover! One of the unique harem/ecchi/romance anime that I have seen. Contrary to the many harem anime out there, Princess Lover! put on its own style despite being adapted from an adult visual novel.
