I'm always surprised by the Japanese animation fans. Some awesome, amazing, spectacular series have 0 attention while this pile of mess that works have quite a few reviews.
You would be shocked to hear to that this is one of my most memorable series, despite not being able to recall much. In my defence, it was 2006, my appetite wasn't ready for this kind of things, yet.
I played the original VN and wasn't impressed. It was full of cliche and rather shallow plot. Though, I doubt those are the types of criticism that stops fans from eating stuffs up. Just look at the successes of Isekai as a genre. Now, this is the start of another decade, time have marched on, and Otoboku animated, didn't aged very well but somehow, much better than I remember.
I should start with the art, Feel isn't co…

I was shocked. This was the first cross-dressing anime that I enjoyed in watching thoroughly. At first, I found out about this anime when it was on the recommended for strawberry panic. I thought it was crap since the male protagonist cross-dresses to an all-girl school, but I was totally wrong. After trying out this anime, I completely changed my negative thoughts.
Story : 10/10
A fun story of a boy's life cross-dressing as a female and attending an all-girl school. Makes you feel relaxed and at-home. Although the story-line doesn't even seem to exist, this is pretty much what you get from an anime like this. A fine piece of art.
Art : ?/10

I stumbled upon this while looking for anime with a all-girls school setting, and i am surprised by how much i enjoyed this.
The story: A male being sent to an all girls school, and then excels at everything becomming the most popular person at the school? How common!
Shockingly it was actually good. The way the story progressed. and how the exposed more characters is higly enjoyable.
Slightly disappointed there were only 12 episodes though, as it feels like there are a lot of things that they didn't show. Atleast the most important things in the story were shown.
I haven't read the manga so i can't comment on how it was adapted to anime, all i know is that i enjoyed it.
Characters: I love most characters to bits, i love the way they show the insecurity and concern that Mizuho has tow…

Boy who looks like a girl to begin with, pretends to be a girl to enroll in an all girls school, to fullfill his granfather's wish. This anime's premise has the potential to be great however, it does not live up to its potential. First of, the reason for Mizuho our protagonist to enroll into an all girls school is kind of weak, just because his grandfather wanted him to do so and even than the story did not explain fully the reason for his request. Our protagonist willingly decided to go along with his grandfather's wish. Now, this suituation could have resulted into a lot of highjinks or funny scenerios which would have made this anime series interesting, instead, all we get is a couple of instances where Mizuho feels awkward like using the girl's washroom or changing in the locker room.…

well,at first it gave me an impression about shoujo-ai aka girl's love so i decide to put it on impossible list to watch since m straight (normal girl who still loves boys). but,thx to some certain youtube videos bout funny rom-com anime,it gave this anime a chance to be watched by me and after do a lil check in mizuho who is actually a boy,i convinced myself to watch this for a break from serious slice of life-rom anime
"a normal love between boy n girl still can be found even when the boy is an awesome reverse trap"..it sounds kind of interesting.isnt it ?
and that been said,i give a run for this anime and Woahh..it sure gave me a loot of laugh. A well-done anime indeed
well,overall even if u r straight i think this anime is worth to try,m sure it will give u the same impression as min…

'Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru' is a unique anime in that it combines several themes that you think wouldn't work in a million years. A guy masquerading around an all-girls school in a girl uniform (inflatable pair of breasts included), a subtle haremesque Yuri and not so Yuri romance theme and last but not least - a bit of slice of life drama supplemented by brief and witty comedy.
What's even more unique is that this combination works very well in this anime. I initially had low expectations and let's face it - the plot sounds corny. Once you start watching this series however, everything becomes clear and you'll be surprised just how well all of the components in this anime fit together.
The story does a tremendously good job when it comes to plot & character progression and the pacin…

If you're like me, you probably read the synopsis and tags and thought "this might be a fun/funny watch".
The story sets it up like it's going to be a good comedy, but only leaves you with disappointment.
The characters are terrible, boring, flat. And the voice acting was like driving nails into my ears. Every episode was a chore to get through.
If you're looking for a comedy, pass on this, it has nothing going for it.

From the first scenes of the first episode I didn't expect much from this series but at the end I was like hmm.. this is very intriguing. The concept of the story is great revealing many challenges for the protagonist as he delves further into his new life. One thing I appreciated is that our hero did not lose his calm and managed to pull through things I can't. Make no mistake, what Mizuho does is no easy thing.
But enough of the story, lets talk about the art. I was a little disappointed to see the artwork of the characters as their limbs are very very small compared to other series such as "Rosario + Vampire" whilst the facial traits are marvelous as well as the hair and eye details.
The characters of this series are stereotypical with the exception of the protagonist. It may seem fa…

DISCLAIMER: THE LITTLE DEAD GIRL ARC (in the middle) IS INTERESTING, SEEMS ORIGINAL, AND WELL-DONE (but incomplete). It also appears to be the only plot in the whole show, its raison d'etre, and what sets the whole shebang in motion. Also the reason I gave it a "7" and not a "2".
Everything else looks like episodic filler (further bloated by sloooow, polite, high-pitched watakushi-desu-de gozaimasu conversations) and resembles a game walkthrough of the most basic kind. The main character lacks any discernible personality, traits, signs of intraspection, or even self-awareness. His SINGLE trait (other than supposedly having a penis somewhere under the dress, not that he acts like it) is that he... completes "missions"/"quests" for anyone and everyone in a random but wholly devoted fashion.…

As my good friend Admiral Ackbar would say, "IT'S A TRAP".
Literally meaning that in more than one way, a person can be a trap any way you look at it. By means of physical form and forms of lies and mental deception. However you are eventually found out by means of stacking lie upon lie or your charming good looks will make it to second base.
I was a bit disappointed though.
Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru didn't deliver, and I didn't expect it to with the abundance of titles that seem similar to it. I did enjoy it to some degrees but then it fell apart in many areas and I lost my interest mid way through.
Well what went wrong?
The title itself isn't even a shoujo-ai, I think someone may have pointed that out already. It's simply a harem style romance with little yuri involved, the main…

Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru... a very unqiue and interesting anime per say.
Story: The story was a 6 for me. A lot of animes and mangas have those gender bending ideas, but Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru takes the cake. I usually don't enjoy gender bending romances (that for me, hint out yuri - which I really hate), but it was somewhat enjoyable, I mean hey, I managed to survive through the whole series. A lot of the time I had myself pondering, "What the hell. A ghost?" and "This is messed up," but in the end, I am rather grateful to have finished the series.
Art: The art was a 9. Simply beautiful. I really enjoyed their uniforms, but the hairstyles - like a lot of anime characters have - were overrated and the colouring was stupid. Unfortunately, a lot of anime characters have pink, blue,…

*Please note that this is my first review. Also, this review does not contain any spoilers.
Overall Score: 8
Let me start off by saying that this anime was enjoyable and yet at the same time - disatisfying. My favorite genre of anime is romance, and going down a little further - my favorite type of romance is shoujo-ai (or girlxgirl). Since I am a huge romance anime fan, I went into this anime with a lot of expectations. I expected that the whole series would suffice my romance anime needs, but unfortunately, it did not satisfy my hunger hence my stomach yearned for more. This was just me speaking after just finishing the show - now onto the review.
Story:6
Ok, The reason I gave the story a six was not because it lacked in any way shape or form, but it was because there really wasn't a…

I started watching Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru with a rather positive aspect of the Anime, seeing that it included Yuri and such. But by the time I finished it I was not that happy with the anime. There was barely ANY yuri, the plot was quite boring, there are lots of "jealousy."
I don't even know why I bothered finishing the series but I have to say it was quite disappointing. Only good thing about it was the ED.
6/10

Neko here, come here to review about oh-wow-cute yet what-she-is-a-he? Haven't played the game yet, but I'll give my assumptions from what I've watched.
Trap protagonist, within yuri-themed like story. Just like Strawberry Panic or Marimite. At first I thought it would be like Maria Holic. But this is just like I saw a blooming lily flower. Sweetness, yet performed by a guy. A Guy! NO! Well, some people said "it doesn't matter as long as its cute".
Story wise, the anime have quite light and cheerful situation, typical fanservice of trap genre, until something happened and made quite a trouble for every character. But in the end this series have good closing.
Yuritrap. The very impression of this anime. I'd date Mizuho if he is a she. Damn perfect lady.

The show in its self wasn't too bad but I guess I went into it expecting something else. A guy being forced to attend an all girls school because of this grandpa's will sounds like there would be some interesting situations, problems to overcome, and misunderstanding galore. Not so ....
At a little more than half way through, I realized that this show wasn't focused on him trying to hide is identity, more like girls dealing with problems about confidence, standing up for what you believe in, doing your best, the usual anime targeted to preteen girls. Which is good in all but I'm not a preteen girl. You'd think that they would have focused on a guy being thrown in a girls world and the differences between men and women. They did address the way they speak and him swimming in gym (but earli…

I knew this series would be good from the get go after watching the first 10mins despite looking average on paper.
The plot isn't particularly involved as other anime and it looks like the reason for the main character to attend an all-girls school is rather shoddy on paper, however, this is quickly forgotten after the excellent comedy routine and characters are developed.
There is little story as such, but the main focus is on how the main character copes with his new dilemma in an all-girls school which becomes slightly over-the-top sometimes but retains a sense of seriousness when interacting with other characters that need his help.
What i particularity enjoyed about this anime was that throughout the series i forgot the main character was a boy until reminded by carefully planed joke…

I just finished watching Otome wa Boku Koishiteru and I find it very good from the start till the last episode. =)
It's categorized as a "Shoujo Ai" but since the main character is actually a boy, I consider it more like a super mass harem with an utmost gentle touch.
It has a very creative plot, it's really funny at times, specially when the main character and his friends avoid being busted with their secret, and each episode turns out quite well. I recommend it to those who are not into pure girl to girl, Shoujo Ai.
I like Shoujou Ai's because it's all girls, but for some reason their pure girl on girl plots don't amuse me. I dropped anime like Strawberry Panic and Maria-sama after their first episode for it failed to give me enough interest. But this anime, Otome wa Boku ni Koishiter…

Pleasantly surprised. That is how I felt after watching this series. Unlike many of the other anime series I've watched, I actually started this one with a negative preconception, a misconception that is. After reading the story synopsis, I automatically thought the show was going to be dull. However, to be ever so cliche, I will say that the saying is true: you can't judge a book by its cover. In any case, I watched the first few episodes anyways out of curiousity, and I am happy I did.
Let's begin with the story. If you've read the synopsis, it is true. This is a story about a boy who ends up going to an all girls school, because it was his grandfather's dying wish. This seems ridiculous, and the fact is, it probably is. As far fetched as it is, this makes for some interesting situation…

Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru,
Story:
Hmm, the story lacked quite a bit, being sent to a all girl's highschool due to his grandfather's will? What's in it for the main character? The storyline basis lacks in detail and does not give enough information, but through witty plot's and lots of cross-dressing this piece makes you quickly forget what the storyline even is.
Art:
The art of course was amazing.
Sound:
Soundtrack fit the lalala atmosphere perfectly and the character voices were nothing but exquisite. Character:
Who does not love a "Cross-dressing boy that actually looks like a girl" character? The main character is very important throughout the anime and makes you quickly forget that she's a boy, whoops I mean he's a boy :p. With an entourage of supporting characters that make the…
