If you asked me what not to do in a harem anime, I would recommend Oreshura for you. Seriously.
The biggest reason why harem anime has come into existence is probably because of the audience being comprised of people who want to have their dreams of having all the girls in the world chase after them fulfilled. Which is cool and all, cause without them, harem anime won't exist. However, with that dream fulfillment, you have a great compromise in quality.
With Oreshura though, the anime just digs itself deeper. The harem just becomes so unrealistic that it is impossible to see the absurdities this anime would go to. I cannot comment on them without going into spoilers. Sorry.
The first thing I hated about the anime was the Jojo references. I didn't know what they were before the anime, a…

After watching the final episode of Ore no Kanojo to Osananajimi ga Shuraba Sugiru. I was kind of confused, I was wondering whether or not Ore no Kanojo to Osananajimi ga Shuraba Sugiru would get a second season. When I found out that it didn't, I was kind of disappointed, as at the end of Ep 13 there were still many unsolved plot threads that needed solving. Even early episode plot threads did not get answered in Ep 13, well sort of. Though overall it's not that big of a problem and does not affect the scoring in big ways.
Another Issue I had with the main plot was that it lost its original goal. Being anti-love, I was expecting the main male lead to hate love for the majority of the episodes, but I guess my theories were wrong. It just turned into a classic harem story.
Though that's n…

Oreshura locks up a spineless male lead with a psycho, a tsundere, a vegetable and mother teresa in a small setting featuring a school, a house and some trees here and there. That's all this is. Oreshura in a nutshell.
The story really isn't that special. The character's aren't either. They're cardboard cut outs. Sexy white haired edgy psycho genius - check. Dense male lead who couldn't get laid with a donkey - check. Fiery redhead... emotionally dead girl, childhood friend etc. check check check. Straight down the typical romcom list.
The story doesn't go anywhere. It's a back and forth battle between 3 cardboard cut-outs and one potential serial murderer dipped in some drama. Club activities. Movie scene. Club activities with the psycho. Beach scene. Bada bing bada boom, series is ov…

I didn't enjoyed this as much as i wanted to and this wasn't boring neither but i just can't find out why i didn't like it that much, maybe i was tired of seen harem comedies or because i didn't like how this ended but yeah i cannot find out exactly why.
Story
A simple story in this, just that a girl (Masuzu) that is seen as the most beautiful girl of the school wants to construct a lie by extorting this boy (Eita) and telling him that he must be her boyfriend so the boys at school stop asking her out but, he just wants to keep studying because he thinks that love doesn't exist and he accepts because of the extortion and his childhood friend Chiwa heppens to love him (obviously) and is like that every episode till the end where it really was good but personally i hate endings lik…

I had no idea what I was going into, literally, I didn't know to expect a harem. And at first it seemed like a love triangle anime, and it was what first 4 episodes were about. And they were really really great! Then after that, with introductions of other girls, quality fell off. Some silly things started happening. It wasn't terrible but it was a sharp contrast to how great first arc was. But then when things settled into place, it just keeps getting better all the way to the end, and ends up surpassing the first arc.
It has great characters, with actual development (at least some of them). It's cute and funny, it has a distinct visual style that was pulled off well. It has high production quality. Great OP/ED. Great voice acting. But where it really shines among other anime, is that i…

(This is my opinion and this review **MIGHT CONTAIN LIGHT SPOILERS**)
Overall score - 7/10
The anime overall uses has an uninteresting story and relies on cringe-based humor to keep the anime interesting. The characters were generic and not interesting. The sound and art was solid overall, no huge mistakes in animation was made either. It is a light hearted anime, so don't watch it if you are expecting a tear jerker.
Story(6/10)- The story overall is a generic school harem with the main character being an overall average guy with the girls being a childhood friend, a shy girl, a demanding girl, etc. There is not much making this anime different than others in the core aspects besides the fact that one of the girls pretends to be from the protagonist's past life which the protagonist made…

Just wanna let you know, before you start reading my review, I generally write short, on to the point reviews, simple and understandable. Hate reading overly lengthy reviews and going through every unnecessary point as some of the reviewers do, so expect this one to be short (Ironically, didn't turn out to be so short.)
Scrolling through the other reviews left me wondering.
Am I seriously the only one who thought this was such a wtf anime?
So, I loved the beginning, it sparked a great interest for me to see the rest of the anime and I liked the first half.
Then the seventh episode came along and things started getting... I don't even know how to describe it. I can't emphasize how weird and nonsensical the show started turning real fast..
The new girl, Himeka was introduced, there she w…

(2017 EDIT: Anime has JoJo references.)
Oreshura is just another harem rom com. It has nothing special about it and it doesn't stand out much at all. Yet it's really likable and you can't find many reasons to hate it. The reason is probably because as plain as it is, it does what it's supposed to do pretty well.
The story was decent (7). It wasn't special but it wasn't boring either. In fact, it didn't have much of a story. It's pretty much about a childhood friend trying to get the protagonist back to her from his kind-of-evil girlfriend, while more harem members join the crew along the way. The different thing about this is the super lighthearted tone. To me this is what basically sets the anime apart from the others of the same genre. Oh, but it could also be because the protagonist A…

ORESHURA REVIEW:
MINDSET:
A point five better than Your Generic Harem.
SYNOPSIS:
Imagine Your typical harem plot: Male lead starts of living next with one chick who is the childhood friend. (do You know where this is going?) Then one day, he finds another semi-woman, who has majestically gushing silver hair, walking, she gallants over the empty battlefield of barrenity and storms of darkness, blinding her eyes of inner-cold heartedness... She finds, a regular guy, and procives... to play with he's mind like a playful whore, as she pretended to be he's girlfriend. If he tries to break up, she will give out he's note book to the rest of the school, embarrassing the heck out of him! (and basically black mailing him) So, yes, Harem happens. (obvious fact)
REVIEW:
Let's be real everyone, the…

Ore no Kanojo to Osananajimi ga Shuraba Sugiru, or My Girlfriend and Childhood Friend Fight too much, is pretty much what the name says. This show is a harem. However, I found it quite different from a lot of other harems.
Story - 7/10:
Okay, so this show is a romantic comedy/harem. Usually, I tend to try and avoid romantic comedy, because they all have kind of a similar theme or story. This show was not an exception, though there were a few aspects that I did like and stood out to me. I have not seen a show where the main character is AGAINST love. This is because of family reasons. Typically in a harem, the guy either doesn't care, or wants a harem, like Issei from Highschool DxD. But the main character here doesn't, which just made the story funnier. However, I understand the he is aga…

Oreshura is the typical romantic comedy/ harem with a light hearted tone. It goes around the idea of conflict between the cunning of the protagonist "girl friend" and jealousy from his childhood friend over him. Throw in some secondary characters and this love triangle becomes pentagon.
Story: At times its quirky, funny and light; a perfect feel good anime story. I felt that some of the character development stories were too cliche, uninspired and just boring to watch.
Sound: Decent music, good voice acting, and appropriate sound effects. What more could you ask for.
Art: the art style of bright and water colored characters really helps give out a fun and non-serious tone that the anime projects. It excels at that point.
Characters: It is Cliched to the max in character plots. There…

Opening Summary
There are many different harem anime, and many of them tend to be very similar (if not identical) to each other. In some ways, OreShura is no different than those. But with a great cast of characters and somewhat unique scenario, it manages to stand out, at least a little bit. For the sake of my own sanity, I'm gonna divide this review into 6 sections: Story, Art, Sound, Characters, My Enjoyment, and My Overall opinion of the anime. I'll make sure to keep it spoiler free. I'd just like to point out that these are my opinions and mine alone, so feel free to disagree. With that aside, let's begin.
Story
The story is essentially your typical harem affair: An extremely dense main character (Eita) is starting high school with his childhood friend who harbors feelings for him…

It's doesn't matter how the sound is, or the quality is in an anime. What matters is how the anime impacted on the viewers. How it leaves an impression for its viewers. And how it leaves the mind lingering in a positive way.
It is what it is guys. I cannot say much any further. Honestly what'd you expect from this anime, is what you are going to expect. BUT, It's really funny. It's so funny that it is worth watching. Not all the characters are funny, and you can expect the sweet love and harem from this. But it's something that gets you laughing, and gives you that feeling inside. I do like the outcome though. I won't say any spoilers.
Summary:
Eita Kido, a bookworm that aims to attend a medical school. He'd do anything. He'd even shun anything that has to do with romance and love. Masuz…

Contrary to what one might believe, I actually approached 'Oreshura' with a positive mindset, and while I admit that I also approached it with a set of expectations, I was fully ready to abandon those pre-conceived notions if the series happened to differ.
The fact that Oreshura did indeed differ from my expectations is not a good thing, however. From the very beginning I expected that this series would take a sort of slice-of-life route, but this was in fact a grave misconception on my part as the series was actually a harem. Now, while I have no issue with a series making use with such a format, Oreshura really brings nothing new and exciting to the table. Thus, herein lies the problem.
As a means of illustrating the issue I have with this series, allow me to do what any reviewer shou…

"Ore Kanojo to Osananajimi ga Shuraba Sugiru" Quite a long and complicated name. As the name states it, yes, it's a warzone between a childhood friend and the girlfriend with the addition of another two comic relief character.
Story, 6/10:
For the story, well, people may thought, 'Hey, this must be another simple harem show again. whatever, i'll just watch it for fun'. Yeah, at first, i was like that, then, after a certain episode, the story was getting even more exciting. And to think that each and every one of the girls were given fair chances in getting the guy.
One thing that i really like about this show is that, it didn't feel rush. Everything went smoothly with the flow. Although there were moments where you would be like, ' whuh?' but it was still good.
I gave it a 6/10 score beca…

Warning: Spoilers
Ola, now I've finished watching this 13 ep anime, I'm gonna have to make my evaluation of this show. What we have was more like a generic harem, romance with comedy kind of anime where everything was predictable, except that this anime deviated from it's plot, where after ep 2 one would be surprise if the main character's role was no longer what it was suppose to be, in fact studio A-1 Pictures, focus more on the mismatched tandem than anything else.
So, my category ratings:
Mediocre 5.
Story- like I said, it was a basic harem type of an anime where the plot was secondary and the focus was on the 2 mismatched pair namely Masuzu and Eita, the other members of the chico's harem were merely obstacles for the pair.
Fair 6.
Art- I'd probably say that, there isn't muc…

Amazing... simply Amazing. Most of the time spent on anime involves romantic comedies or dramatic romance stories,so I figured I'd watch this one as well. Not only was I pleased to see not one but more beautiful girls but from most of the series in my list this was amongst the ones I enjoyed the most. "Why is that?" you would ask yourself. Well it's like this: from my point of view, the lucky bastard, Eita inevitably draws around these girls due to the fact that he is nice. He desperately tries to make them disappear but they end up in a pinch and he rushes over to help them thus deepening their bond with him.It makes me ask myself after watching similar series: "Why do they always get the good ones?"
Now, from Eita's perspective, a bunch of troublesome girls begin to pester him and he doe…

I was reluctant to watch oreshura because the whole harem rom-com is so commonly done. The first few episodes were interesting, then it got redundant, and then it got better.
Story: 7/10 the plot of the show is pretty obvious: the girlfriend and childhood friend fight over the MC. Then they introduce two characters, one of which thinks they were lovers in a past life and another that was a childhood friend as well. It's your general harem, nothing new. The only difference would be the situation between the MC and his girlfriend. But it was executed rather well, I'll give it that.
Art: 9/10 I actually really enjoyed the style of art! It's bubbly and light and really nice and easy to look at.
Sound: 8/10 the op and ed were catchy and one of the few I didn't skip over. Any insert osts ma…

Alright, here's the deal.
Well, there's no deal; not for a certain lucky or rather unlucky guy named Eita Kido anyways. The thing is, he gets blackmailed in the most embarrassing way possible. Now he's nothing more than a little boy toy to a certain admired beauty at school. But hey, at least he's getting a hot girl with a manipulative personality yet someone “cares” about him in some way right? That's not what it seems to be...
Wait, this is a bit too fast. Let's start from the beginning.
Ore no Kanojo to Osananajimi ga Shuraba Sugiru (God damn that is a long name, so I will call it 'Oreshura' instead), is an anime series that debuted in 2013 based on the LN written by Yuji Yuji. The Japanese title literally translates to:
“My Girlfriend and Childhood Friend Fight Too Much”

Ore no Kanojo to Osananajimi ga Shuraba Sugiru
To be honest, when I started this series, I was expecting a fresh, new romance anime about interesting character that “gave up” on love. This is not the case, the show had an opportunity to start an original Rom/Com by matching a hopeless guy who focuses on his studies rather than women who is then thrown feet first into a relationship he has no control over thus leading into shenanigans and mishaps but I was sorely mistaken.
Story 6/10:
The plot was unoriginal and poorly executed. It lives up to its name as a Rom/Com by being unable to build up a viable plot by relying heavily on comedy and simply sets up all the girls for Eita’s harem. The pacing is rather fast as it only has 2 episodes to set up the story behind each of the girls and how…
