Hey everyone! I just want to clarify that this anime is NOT a romance. While it may be categorized as one and the plot might suggest otherwise, it's important to approach it with that understanding. In my view, it leans more towards being a cliché comedy series. The show features quite a few flat moments and doesn’t take itself seriously at all.
When I first watched it, I was really bothered by the fact that the main character doesn’t experience any emotional growth, and the side characters often come off as superficial and unkind. At that time, I was under the impression that it was primarily a romance.
However, when I revisited it six years later, I had a completely different perspective. I realized that the true aim of the plot isn’t for the main character to end up with one of the at…

So i just finished watchig ''the wallflower'' and i have a few things to say
First of all, I was expecting a lot more from the anime but i must say i was very dissapointed from pretty much everything...the characters, the plot, the enjoyment everything was just dumb as hell and they were even times i couldnt stand watchig it.
Story: A girl suddenly has to live with 4 random guys who are supposed to turn her into a ''lady'' because her aunt requested them to do so?? just by reading this u can imagine how bad it is. I hated the fact that almost everything that was hapening in the anime had almost nothing to do with the main goal and most of the episodes felt like filler cause they werent even paying attention to turning her into a lady and they were just playing around.
I have to ment…

Before you start thinking to yourself, "I.. um.. don't really enjoy goth-like anime. I should not watch it." DON'T! I swear, it's soo good, it'll will make you wanna watch it over and over. Well I honestly liked it but even so, you might watch it and say it's trash.
Where do I start? well, first of all, THERE ARE NO SPOILERS! I wish I could but it's better when there's mystery for you :3 (muaahaha)
The whole theme of this anime might seem Gothic and all dead related (which it kind of is, you'll notice how "kind of" after the first episodes) and maybe you are of those who like it, but I never liked that kind of stuff. So I didn't want to watch it at first. How did I ended up watching it? I GOT BORED. Yes. That's how I watched half of…

Best anime ever! Sunako-chan is so cute (however she thinks she is so much ugly). She have to live with amazing nice looking guys which have to help her to become beautiful lady. However Sunako-chan likes dark and scary sceneries (she lives with skeleton which has his own name). Sunako-chan cannot hate beauty of her amazing looking new friends and whenever she looks up at these young guys, she loose her blood from nose ^^ This anime is really funny, and characters are really amazing!
PS: at the end of each episode is a lot interesting tips :D

Story
The storyline itself isn't very unique and original. In fact, it greatly reminds me of Kimi ni Todoke, but we are talking about Yamato Nadeshiko Shichihenge here. This anime is a story of a transformation, friendship and being true to oneself. There are many repetitive elements in each and every episode (eg. nosebleeds, Goth~ Goth~ Loli~ Loli~ etc.) and sometimes you want to punch Sunako or the Goth Loli Sisters in the face. Anyway, it's still enjoyable to watch the guys trying to convert hard-core goth into a lady.
Art
Only five words: it is not a masterpiece. You can watch it, but sometimes characters are missing its perfection, because you can see how they (especially boys) are getting more and more so-so. Awry eyes, plain hair and other…

I don't see why people had reviewed this anime in a rather negative light and that just gave me an insight on how people fail to appreciate this wonderful anime.
Sure the anime art leaves little to be desired and let face it, art is an important aspect to any anime. The reason I have loved this anime is that it defies people's art conceptions with the story and humour quickly making up for it. The typical shoujo harem had characters completely in harmonising together regardless of their differences.
I especially loved the character Sunako because she is not your typical weak and submissive heroine; she actually have spunk and is very wise. Her character compliments Kyouhei's arrogance which I have really liked and it is Something that is lacking in recent shoujo heroines lately.

What do you get when you have a romantic comedy with a girl that is gothic? Well, you may get a lot of things but you might not get something as wonderful as this. The show has a lot of things that make it fun and memorable. I was surprised that Watanabe (The one that made Excel Saga) actually had a hand in this one.
We get to the characters and I think in all fairness, we just have to start with Sanako. Sanako is a sad girl but it wasn’t her fault really. I know a couple people that sank like this when someone they liked said they did not like them, maybe not as bad but still. I feel close to her because I have almost the same problem sometimes in where my confidence goes out the window and I feel like locking myself in my room. You can sometimes even feel her pain when you have been th…

Dear fellow Anime lovers,
I really enjoyed this anime, it was so refreshingly funny! I do not think I have seen an anime as funny since Great Teacher Onizuka. I thought the story was OK but its the type of anime you need to watch when things in life are a little depressing or bleak, or in an economic downturn, with political revolutions, earthquakes in Japan etc - this is the perfect thing to watch to put a SMILE to your face. Every episode leaves you laughing and smiling to yourself. Its really upbeat and the jokes and animation together make the experience all the more richer.
I would like to add that I really enjoyed the music, I am a BIG anime soundtrack collector, and I loved the music for this anime! Unfortunately I cannot find it anywhere on the internet. (Aside from the opening a…

The first time I watched this series I had watched the drama, which hadn't really caught my attention. I'd ventured on to find the anime, and sadly I learned my lesson when it comes to "don't judge a book by its cover". (Seriously, follow that quote). When it comes down to it this is a very uplifting anime and one that I ended up loving a lot (i'm looking forward to watching the drama now!).
Art wise this anime was weird. I'm not sure how old it is (and I'm too lazy to check) but I was kind of turned off by the character art at first, which was why I had not even bothered to watch the anime. However, after watching it I began to enjoy the anime. The art style kind of grows on you. It's an acquired taste, like anchovies.

By far one of my favorite series. It's a shame it's been since 2007 and they haven't continued the series, maybe if more of the manga is developed?
This is an oddly hilarious yet sweet drama. There was even a live action series made of it. Sunako is just impossible not to fall in love with, while most men paw towards the men she live with, she wants nothing more than to have them cast in the dark or even dead. The man who is slowly falling in love with her Kyohei. You can even see the changing developments with Ranmaru, Takenaga (as conservative as he is) and the wonderful Yuki!!!!
It's gothically/delightfully hilarious!!! The opening and ending music too is pure bliss (The artist is even based off of a certain character hehe).

I cant even begin to describe how awesome this series is. I just started the first episode just to fill in sometime, and the next thing you know if finished the series before dinner...on the same day.
Story: Not new, similar to Nobuta wo Produce and lots of other shoujo animes some what. But what makes this unique is the humour. I mean GOD its so hilarious it's nearly unrivaled. Definately very unique.
Art: I'm not really into this style art yet I lived through it. If your turning your back on this anime just because of the then DON'T. You will definately forget. The art is somewhat similar to Paradise Kiss, especially Sunako.
Sound: Not so into it, but reasonable. The voices are all fines exept for maybe Sunako when she at the otome mushrooms but fine by me. Not so into the opening eit…

Watching Yamato is like dating a someone (guy or girl) who looks like Borat in a mini-skirt. Prolonged exposure could leave you with a desire to gouge your eyes out, though on the plus side, you'll enjoy Yamato's hidden charm a lot more once yours eyes are bloody pulps on the floor.
Normally, art is a minor detail for me, but the atrocious art in Yamato cannot be ignored. While there is a lot to blame, the bland backgrounds, the sub-par animation, the dreary colors, and the overly constant use of chibi characters, one particular feature completely stands out.
The four main male leads are suppose to be some of the hottest men on the planet, and yet half of them make Golum look like a stunner. While I understand the typical trend of attending feminine characteristics to male leads in shouj…

A story of a very weird girl named Sunako Nakahara. Not you're ordinary 15 year old girl who loves to look at themselves at the mirror, concious of becoming fat, pimples..etc.. Instead, she has anatomical manequins fetish (they actually have names), her room was filled with preserved organs, disected frogs, skulls, a horror movie addict (she can eat in front of very gross movie), her curtains were black.. She can't stand the bright lights. Now, how can she ever survive in the presence of four "radiant beings"? She really has a low self-steem after a boy from their middle school told her she was ugly. And now her auntie bound her to live with 4 very handsome men which she can't stand to look at (she nosebleed when she's looking at beautiful things or person). Her auntie also asked the 4 guy…

I liked the principal of this story line because it is such a simple idea and yet it is portrayed well. I thought that this anime was really enjoyable and it worked well considering that there is no real depth to the storyline.
The art was variable - at times it was irritating to see sunako in chibi form when in actual fact she was beautiful. However, i think that this was sometimes beneficial to the plot - we saw the beautiful sunako when she was defending her friends which was the pretty side of her.
I didn't really like the music that accompanied this anime and nothing really stood out - in other words the songs have not been added to my itunes.
I thought the characters were interesting, but not enough happen between kyohei and sunako for me to be satisfied with the show - i thoug…

I Actually quite liked it , One of the only animes i've seen with such dark sense of humor , And since i feel slightly connected to the main charecter , i found it funny on the way she reacts on some parts of the animes .
One thing that quite disturbed me is the guy's , sometimes they overdid the ''female type guys'' .
Animation in this anime wasnt a big thing , but no one need a good animation in comedy anime .
The faced they did was perfect in so many Comedy Moments , specially the Main charecter and when she went ''Chibi mode'' and acted like a child to avoid stuff .
In general , i recommend this anime for people that want to laugh from dark sense of humor and for people who wants to take a break from heavy type animes and just relax .
Allthough, by the end of the anime the jokes…

This anime's selling point is comedy, comedy, and comedy. At first glance, the male characters aren't as appealing to look at, unlike say, ouran host club. They all seem to be wearing too much eyelashes and lipstick. Kyohei is the best looking of the four, I daresay. As for the story, its a typical laugh-in-you-face theme, with hilarious situations like nose bleeds and excessive addiction to anything horror and blood related stuffs. Sunako's protrayal of a reclusive, horror-blood-splatter-loving female who gets nosebleeds whenever she sees anyone beautiful is hilarious, as well as the silly romantic escapades of her aunt in the series. There is an underlying depth to this series, especially with issues on accepting oneself and seeing past another's physical appearance. The ending's a bit l…

Upon finishing this series, I just had to make a review of it :D
* Story *
I must say, even for a shoujo title, this story has a lot of originality as well as taking advantage of the same old clichés but with a twist. With Nabeshin as director, I couldn't expect any less, as he makes every episode hilarious! And it's nice to see the series has its serious and dramatic moments, and when you see them, you'll crave for more, seriously.
Sunako-chan is quite a character, and you'll love her from the getgo. She is a very special girl, and she suffered quite a lot from a mid-school drama. Be sure to pay attention to the series as this is revealed in the first episode and repeated a couple of times more, and it's the reason she locks herself to the world and considers everyone else a "daz…

Having read the manga first, I can't help but compare the two. And, boy, does the anime score low. It's a classic case of good idea badly executed.
First thing I noticed is the sloppy art. In the manga the boys are beautifully drawn; in the anime, the artists seem to run out of steam by the time they finish drawing Kyohei and Takenaga - Ranmaru often ends up looking like a drag queen and Yuki grotesquely cute. The backgrounds are so simplified they are almost nonexistent and the constant use of chibis is distracting and annoying after a while. The characters we get to know fully are only Kyohei and Sunako, we get flashbacks of their earlier years and how they became who they are.
The story does not follow the manga copiously, which in itself takes away nothing from the anime, if anythin…

I thought that the story was actually quite original. At first I thought that it would be your usual story. They try to change her and then they fall in love and then love rivals appear and some comedy is thrown in but that didn't happen in the slightest, which I thought was quite refreshing. I do wish that focused a little bit more on the relationships with each other, especially Sunako (Main Character).
Some people may not like the artwork but I thought that it went quite well with all of the characters personalities and I also really liked the way that they changed their style of artwork depending what was happening (or going to happen), and it makes it alot more funny and entertaining.
The sound was good, in the beginning I didn't like the opening song but it grew on me during the se…

Ater taking nearly 4 months to complete, this show finally got the last episode subtitled. So, what were my thoughts?
Story
The story started off great. Four guys need money to pay rent, so their landlord asks them to "turn this crazy girl into an actual lady". Eh, not an amazing story, but sounds funny. I'd probably have given it more than a 6 if it actually went anywhere. But, it didn't really progress, nor did we get to see much happen from the start until the end.
Art
Prepare to be swamped by constant chibi characters. Odd models and bland scenes..the art is something to be desired.
Sound
Nothing special. The opening and ending didn't stand out to me, nor did any background music. Could have been a lot better.
Character
The saving grace for this show. Without the male lead and the…
