"Somewhere in an alternate universe, Gilgamesh has a black hair, he's a highschooler and he has his own harem. He also secretly learnt Unlimited Blade Works. But most importantly, he is also a god-slayer. The king of kings. The glorious title given to whom had successfully slain a god."
The quote above pretty much summarizes the entire anime. This anime is an alternate universe of the Fate series. Gilgamesh goes around and kiss girls in order to beat gods. That's pretty much it.
All jokes aside, this anime was pretty awesome and probably one of the anime where "Ecchi" and "Harem" seem acceptable. It was just so fun to watch. I had a great time with it. I feel content.
A pretty amusing anime overall. Only animation and art style requires a little work so it could display the fight scen…

This is by far the worst anime I've ever finished. It was painful watching at times. It was only 13 episodes, but it felt like it was 26. It felt like it would never end.
Story:
The show had the foundation to have a good story. Using mythology from various religions, it created a base story that wasn't half bad. But the story wasn't able to build off of it. It resorted to numerous cliches and anime tropes in order to advance the story. This was a real bummer, since it meant that nothing about the story was ever really unique.
Art:
Easily the best part of the show. The art was done well and was never an issue. Art is like a good offensive line in football, you only notice it when it's either great or really bad. The art was never a distraction, and allowed me to focus on the story, for…

Haven't you always wanted an anime where the main character has a giant golden sword, but instead of using it like a sword, fights by stating facts about various mythologies?! No? Me either. How about one where the protagonist gains knowledge by tongue kissing girls? Only if it's a full on hentai.
This is anime is just bad. Sometimes it seems like its goal is to just give the viewer a history lesson, but even then some of the facts from myths it says are wrong. There are so many problems with this anime that it's difficult to choose a place to start criticizing.
All you need to know is that it is bad. If you like saliva, poorly explained mythology, and lots of standing around, then give it a whirl.
The only reason it isn't lower than 2 stars is because the animation didn't suck and you…

Campione, the series I kept mispronouncing as "champion", is a subpar action-based harem with a very uneven plot line and so many incorrect uses of classical mythology that it would cause a classics professor to commit suicide. If you enjoyed the likewise-confused plot line of Hagure Yuusha no Estetica, know that this is very similar except with (more traditional) stronger female leads.
So basically, a dude returns a tablet-like relic that his grandfather passed down (no explanation) to a mage/slut and, soon after being asked to keep it, decides to use it against a god and successfully becomes a god-slayer. Now with literally god-like powers, he soon attracts a harem; conveniently enough, the only way for magic to work on his surprisingly human looking non-human body is through his lips.…

To expect an elaborate storyline, unexpected plot twists, and incredible character development from an ecchi harem show would be one of the greatest you mistakes you can ever make. I came into Campione with no expectations at all. I merely came to watch an ecchi harem and you know what I got? An awesome show that understands how to make a story despite having fan service and a harem.
Campione is a story about a guy named Godou Kusanagi who ends up killing the Persian God of Victory, Verethragna. As a result, he receives Verethragna’s power and the title of God Slayer. After that, he basically goes around killing out of control gods no one else can take care of.
The story may not be refreshing, but hey, it’s a still a story and a coherent one at that. You’re not going to gasp at anythin…

Its a good fun anime.
The anime team did a wonderful job in creating beautiful and cool characters which for a fan like me a very important aspect in a series. all the female characters has a wonderful sex appeal and unique talent. a great start to create a "harem" environment.
The action and fighting sequence are exciting and I especially love the golden swords(thousands of swords attacking the villain) attack..its really...cool. the author seems to put a lot of afford and research into myths and gods which is very creative and somewhat informative to the viewers.
The romantic aspect between the characters is quite cute but I think that the producer might have rushed to crammed the scene together(perhaps because of the limited episodes allocated to the series) I think if the producer…

"She must submit to me, and act to ensure my victory!"
Ah, how fitting, this quote essentially sums up all of the action fight scenes. Expect a lot of girl/guy interactions at all times, especially during the fighting scenes. On top of that, do you like well-designed girls, magic, and an MC who isn't a enfeebled, useless, chump? In other words, if you have expressed some interest into watching this show you must be into the shounen/ecchi genres, so this review will be how adept this anime performs in being a worthy shounen/ecchi action anime. This is a review, so I'm just trying to be helpful in judging whether or not you will like this show—this is some insight without any spoilers to give a hint of the overall gist of the story.

This anime might be the most underrated shit ever in this world. This anime is absolutely epic and awesome.
Story: This anime has parts and parts of stories relating towards myths and ancient society/religion/beliefs. An anime that has 12 episodes with one big major story is just boring, it will be better if the anime has about 20+ episodes to focus on 1 story. Campione is divided with different stories and goals that the MC has to fight on and after that another conflict happens. Is similar to main stream anime, Ex. Fairy Tail, Bleach, Hitman Reborn etc. Like in each 10-20 episodes involves a story when the anime itself is over a 100 episodes. Campione is ingenious using that idea on 12 episode series. Is not time consuming unlike main stream anime. Mark me wrong if there is other anime…

A great anime. Really enjoyable.
The anime starts with a slightly cliched approach, but it has you by the seat of your pants by the end of the first episode. The stories are very interesting (although somewhat strange) and are a unique twist on mythology. the "Gods" are pretty well thought out (still slightly puzzled by loli Athena ~~~hard to say why without spoilers). Interesting approach to battles (dialogue driven) sounds like it would be terrible, however it is very interesting. There are a few blatant Harem suggestions and hints (not the "Pick one from a harem", but a "Like everyone in harem equally" way). Some of the characters are not fully developed, with hints that they will be developed in the sequel/OVAs.
OVERALL: very enjoyable anime that you will want to "*Netflix*" through.…

Campione! a series with lots of potentials.
(This series is a bit special for me so, please forgive me for this big intro, that is needed to explain the background I found myself while watching it...)
-First of all, let me tell that I have a history with this anime! Before 2012 I was ignorant about anime, about Japan culture and industry, and the only anime I had watched was Naruto, and those typical famous and classic childhood anime, that pass alot into the TV's, that everyone knows about... then in 2012 when I was "re-introduced" into the anime world, one of the first animes I heared alot, was Campione!, the show was on the first episodes and people keep saying it was promising and it was great, etc etc...
-After the show ended, I had it to watch, I was ready to see the whole thing, b…

Campione! is an unfortunate anime.
The set up is cool, at least for the harem genre - random guy kills a diety and inherits his powers, which causes him to fight other deities and attract various pretty girls during his adventures who compete for his affections. And if you bother to read the light novels (there are over fifteen of them I think), the story and characters are pretty good for the most part.
But Campione! in its desire to hit the apparently required minimum harem four-girl threshold by the end of the series decides to cover way too much material in too short of time. It feels rushed from the beginning, making every development with the female characters feel even more unbelievable than normal for this type of anime. It also makes the misstep of taking the story chronologica…

There are a few basic conditions that you have to meet to like this anime.
1. Do you like mythology? (Mostly Greek, with a little bit of Persian and Egyptian)
2. Do you like harem?
The first one is extremely important. The entire story revolves around mythical gods and heroes, so if you get bored from that kind of stuff or just straight out don't like it, this anime is not for you.
Godou, the main character, defeats a god called Verethragna, the Oriental god of War and Victory. He takes his powers, called Authorities, and basically his job is to fight other mythological gods who threaten humanity's safety, although that's not really the focal point. The overall threat is the Prophecy of the Starless Night, which says a rogue god will claim his/her powers and end the world. But being a…

Who the heck is Athena? Perseus? Metis?
Get your answer in this anime! Nah kidding. Google it! Much as this anime about Gods, I believe you don't want to watch this anime because you want to learn more about Gods right? Unless you want to use this as an excuse to learn Greek history about Gods when you got banned by your parents and not allowed to use the internet to watch anime.
Story:6/10
Ok, this story about a high-schooler, defeating a god unintentionally and became a god slayer. Well, the story is simple. He wants to lead a normal and peaceful life, not bothering about Gods even though he is supposed to slay them. However, the Gods interfered with his normal and peaceful life. A few episodes each dedicated to fighting the Gods. Simple and boring plot as some might see. I mean come o…

Story: A fairly decent story line that i say for only 13 episodes is well developed, or as well as it could be developed over that short period of time, kind of the classic harem story where a normal kid gets tons of money or power then all of these girls just want his D 24/7 which i can totally go for. So after meeting Erica and slaying his first God, thats pretty much how his life is.
Art: Great art that i found was just like most recent animes with very good background as well as character details. Ecchi scenes were drawn pretty well, especially the parts where they share knowledge about gods through the magic of shoving their tongues down the MC's throat. Which evidently, you must wonder why thats not the only way girls can pass information. Fanservice too good.
Sound: Just normal so…

Campione! well that was probably the best anime i've seen with ecchi in it.
Okay guys before starting this i want to make clear that there are 2 versions of ecchi: showoff ecchi and romance ecchi. and this anime has a 90% romance ecchi and 10% showoff ecchi. (showoff echi is KissxSis style, and romance ecchi speaks for it self).
This is one of those anime's who is in commen with most harem styled anime's
Boy gets powerfull or special, Girls love it and are competing against each other.
But this is one of the few times when you watch anime's because of ecchi, you really want the action the happend like fighting. becuase it's just epic.
With this in mind i will give my honnest revieuw about this anime, and call out the good points from this anime and the bad one. enjoy.
Story:

This anime seems to have the curse that afflicts many anime these days, the curse of having lots of potential and then failing to utilize it.
When watching Campione you're going to realize the the people staffed to work this anime had two conflicting groups with different goals. One group had a pretty cool story idea they wanted to make, the other group wanted to make a really well animated hentai. These two groups had to share a budget and share characters, and thus we get Campione.
The story was a really interesting idea with compelling characters and unique style in many ways, but it was bogged down with I'm assuming a small budget, not enough time, and the fact that a lot of people wanted this to be hentai. Seriously, there are several times you'll think, why didn't they just make it…

Not As Bad As I Expected It To Be
*note* I have not read the LN so do not judge me on this review as an adaptation. I am not familiar with the LN and I do not know how accurate it is as an adaptation. *note*
I'll admit, when I started watching this anime, I wasn't getting my hopes up for it. I figured it might have some decent action with a couple decent comedy scenes amongst the harem. As it turned out, this anime was actually quite a bit better than I expected. I wouldn't call it great, but it was far from the mediocre harem anime I thought it might be.
I felt what made this anime so good was the hilarious character interaction when comedy was intended and the romantic/dramatic interaction when the scenes became tense. While Goudou didn't necessarily like it, I found the chemistry bet…

Updated 10/3/12
Well, this year was my first year back at major anime watching in a long time. I started up again this spring, and I've got to say, it's either me-- or anime got super ecchi.
Everyone has their own standards as to what floats his/her boat, and I can openly say that this anime did pretty well.
Story- 7
UPDATE: I've finished the series. My expectations weren't off at all considering that I watched every episode, except for 13, while it was still airing. The ending was meh, but what could I have expected. But the same can go for a majority of the previous season's anime (Hagure no Yuusha Ecstetica, Dakara Boku Wa H Ga Denkai). Wait-- not only last season's, but it can apply for a lot of recent day animes. If I did not come back and watch anime, I would have been REALLY bot…

Do you love tales of gods and mythology ranging from Athena the goddess of wisdom to Osiris the Egyptian god of death?
Well, Campione, revolves around slaying gods and making their powers your own.
Story-8
It's a truly fascinating story. Kusanagi, a boy steals a gods power and continues to slay gods. However he's no ordinary god slayer. He does as he wishes and tries to avoid slaying and fighting. Instead of slaying gods for their powers, he becomes a traditional kind hero and gains support. Beside him are a priestess princess and erica, a "red devil", who counter eachother's ideals and both try to make kusanagi their ideal campione.

The art is lovely. It has great modern 21st century art. Just looking at it makes me proud of how far the world has advanced. The battle scenes are abs…
