I will say that R-15 was not anything special. In all honesty at times I found it downright boring at parts. In fact it took me 3 tries to get though it. Its not that this show was bad, I just believe it was badly done.
Story: This anime was about a teenage porno writer who attends a school for the exceptionally gifted. If anything I would say parts of the plot is what drew me away from this anime. The relationship between the main character and most of the girls is the cliched "dere" relationships. The plot was really nothing exceptional itself and really bored me at times.
Character: The characters were truly the only real reason I stuck though with this show. I myself enjoy the eccentric type of characters such as the ones in this series. The main character being a scorned Porno write…

I feel guilty and confused after watching R-15. I'm confused on why I feel guilty, and quite a bit more.
Story (7/10):
I'll give it this. The story had a unique plot, but it was combined with very unoriginal concepts. It need not stick to a very serious storyline, or it would have gone worse. Every time it does start to get serious, something would throw you off. I would say it was funny, but it couldn't get more than a snicker out of me.
Art (5/10):
It was average. Nothing to go on and on about, but still caught your eye as an ecchi tends to do. I mean this in the least perverted way you can think of.
Sound (7/10):
Catchy ed, especially. Filled in silent moments with an adequate amount of sound effects and background music, but I'd never go out of my way to look for it after watching t…

My Opinion
Bit behind the time on this one but Ill keep this short a sweet. I am really sick of these anime's,it's just rehashed shit, i'm sorry but that's all it is. I finished this because i don't like having half compete shows on my list. It could not have been any less original if it tried. I mean there some pretty good music in there and that was really it. I could go into each character and pick them apart but whats the point, the fact is there were all just poor and the male lead just... ill say no more.
Should you watch this? NO just save yourself the time
Hope my review was helpful

First of all, this anime is pretty much average in a sense that it's not that great and it's not that terrible. People would often find this dull because of poor story and character development but can easily catch up because of the art and characters.
Story --- 5
The story is below aveage where the main character struggles because of his hobby/talent in which the majority thinks it's offensive. There are also parts in the story in which it doesn't make any sense at all and we can hardly notice the story development. All in all, I rate it pretty much a 5.
Art --- 9
I find the art great. The camera angles and character positions are well structured. The surrounding are well-endowed with detail. The colors are bright giving it a joyful feeling to the audience. As the anime belongs to the e…

Story :
The story starts off pretty average, but as it gets further in things start getting much more interesting. Sadly, it just takes too long to start bringing the story to light. 7/10
Art :
The art is of really high quality, and the style is quite pleasing to the eyes. This is definitely one of its strong points. Still, I only give a 10 to ones that exceed what I consider amazing. 9/10
Sound :
The Opening and Ending are great, very upbeat and full of life and vigor, just like the show! But, Fukune's clarinet gets really boring after hearing the same tune every episode. Thankfully there's a point where you get to hear her play something interesting at some point in the show. yet, it makes sense, so I can't really mark it down for that to be honest. And then there's a song in this show…

R-15 anime, approaching ecchi anime with goddamn story. Overall, 9/10 equivalent to B+. The score is spread into :
Story : B+. A struggle of erotic writer (Taketo, male) in literally all aspect in his life. Particularly innovative, although retaining some aspect of harem. He's quite a fool not concealing his real name in such a kind of writing. The plot developed into romantic-mixed story after first quarter
Art : B+. Hard to say, but the artwork is very realistic; quite similar to animated photograph instead of hand-drawn pictures. Most girls are armed with boobs as a fanservice with notable exceptions for two girls : Fukune and Kagaku. The mixture of oppai (boobs) and loli makes the anime eligible for A in art. Penalty was given for the censorship mechanism, a laser beam (reminding Ind…

This anime isn't really worth watching.. It pretty boring in it own sense. The main character is unique in its own way. The only thing that may be of some interest to some viewers is probably the artwork because it is a harem and ecchi anime.
This anime doesn't have a storyline. There is no hook for you to continue watching. It just an typical anime that takes about how the male protagonist lives his daily life as a talented novel writer. Just that fact may sparkle some interest and the fact that he specializes in writing not romance, drama or action... but in porno!
The art is fair, they are drawn a bit childish which states that the ecchi scene are just for fun. They aren't to be taken seriously because the characters stripe voluntarily just for the hell of it. Although i comment nothi…

After I finished watching this anime, I kind of expected how it was going to end; since many anime with harems end kind of similar in terms of romance. I found it kind of strange that the MC, who is a porno writer, easily gets nosebleeds. In my opinion, characters that get nosebleeds from witnessing something perverted are..."pure". Going off of that, if he is this pure, why is he a porno writer?
As with romance-comedy anime (harem optional), the male MC usually displays some kind of a dense personality; creating situational irony for the viewers to laugh at. This is effective for comedy in anime, but I felt that this anime over-used it a tiny bit. People that are picky with what they watch probably shouldn't watch this if they don't like the main character portrayed like this.
The setti…

R-15 is a show with a mediocre story, your usual art style, fantastic music with your usual harem characters (this is not a harem show). There are tons and I mean absolutely tons of panty shots and nose bleeds, so if you like that kind of stuff in large amounts, this is the show for you.
~Warning~ The very beginning of the show is very off-putting. It is something very unexpected and probably repels most people when they attempt to watch the show.
~Warning 2~ Do not watch this show unless you have downloaded or bought the Blue-Ray version. The censorship that I sat through was severe and even simple underwear shots were censored, leaving me to not understand some of the stuff that happened in the show.
Story 6/10
The story isn't very original, but with what parts of the story I could f…

Updated up to the final episode.
Having just finished R-15 completely, something I had doubts about since it was so perverted to the very end, I have to say I was pleased that it was enjoyable. The concept of "Genius" Porno Writer was able to carry its weight, never being censored in the slightest the entire series, his delusions and fantasies top notch the entire ride.
Story:
At first I thought this was just going to be random comedic absurdity, but after seeing episode two there might just be a story behind it all. With the protagnist possibly on a journey of self discovery. Then again it might be that he is just misunderstood by everyone. You know its as they say, they don't realize a writers true potential during the time he's alive. It ended up leading Taketo through a journey of…
