WARNING: It's NOT a boy's love at all, but only a regular BROMANCE.
All the songs are literally about the love between a girl and his prince.
I don't know why it's tagged like that but it's completely wrong.
Story:
A new student (who seems to be a commoner) arrives at a renowned academy isolated on an island and meets "princes" who are quite well-known personalities like an actor and a real prince. The beginning is chaotic with a very poorly managed misunderstanding between him and the princes and can scare the viewer away after 3 episodes. It gets better later.
You need to watch this like a musical comedy or some parody but there will be serious moments.
Art:
Decent for 2006, no visual disturbance and it doesn't go into unnecessary details.
Sound:
All the songs are good, a minimum of o…

I am leaving a review for episode 4 alone. This is the single greatest episode of an anime I've ever seen. It's the episode about the pink haired guy and it's the story of how he and Yuuta skip school because he got a phone call and so they hitchhike their way to town with lady who has been waiting for her son Carlos to show up for 10 years so they can hang up a sign together, who is also a so-called professional singer who can't sing worth a damn for some reason. Then the generic anime debt collector squad shows up and Yuuta takes legitimately 30 seconds to run the equivalent of 1/16th of a city block.
The pink haired guy really does bash a thug with a pipe while badly lip-syncing to the show's saccarine "Love Makes the World Go Round" soundtrack, and then he lapses into a bad slideshow…

Marginal Prince is a low-budget, poorly-written hot mess, but it is also /hilarious/ in the way it's bad. Worth watching, just for the scene where the boy with long pink hair bashes a thug with a pipe while singing "Love Makes the World Go Round".
So essentially, Marginal Prince is based on a cell phone dating game. Since they couldn't really include the "main character" of the girl, they pretty much just removed her. Unfortunately, they didn't really have anywhere to go with the storyline without her, so they clearly made up a story on the fly. Plus, with the main character now being Yuta, it comes across very BL-like, despite not being actually BL.
Most of the show is a series of largely unrelated events that introduce a large number of underdeveloped characters, and the attempt towa…

I dislike being mean when i give a review, but i promised to myself to be sincere every time i give one.
Marginal Prince falls under the category of "it was so BAD it made me LAUGH". People who reviewed about this being terrible weren't joking to you, truly... the only reason i didn't drop it off from the start was because it gave me a sheer amount of laughter in every episode.
Welcome to the world of Marginal Prince! The worst Anime based of a dating game yet to be made.
Main character (who is a dude instead of the main girl in the game) is the new guy in this amazing all-boy academy. At the beginning it seems that this will fall in the category of "new guy in school who gets fawn over by everyone", but in reality Marginal Prince is wrongly labeled, it is NOT a shounen ai... and that m…

Okay, This is under Shounen-ai and I believed it was so, until the ending. Around episode 10 I was just plain confused, suddenly there were a whole bunch of secrets, They had back stories and everything. It was just plain confusing, plus the sub-titles sucked badly.
This show may seem like Shounen-ai at first but it is NOT it seems as though they are all just friends and they all fall for the main-character, Yuuta's sister. Which was in my opinion HORRIBLE, it was not Shounen-ai, the more I watched the show, It made me hate it.
They sung in every episode, which was... Okay, it felt more like a musical at those moments. I remember when Joshua first sung he suddenly ended up in the rain and his jacket came off. It was confusing because.. it just was.
The Genre on this show is set up wr…

I am having trouble figuring out why Marginal Prince exists.
Marginal Prince is, and always will be, the first truly terrible anime I forced myself to sit through. I cannot say I regret this decision, because this is one of those anime that helps to remind me how awful most modern anime is, and forces me to appreciate the few anime that are actually worth anyone's time. Were I forced to suck any worth out of Marginal Prince, that would be the only thing I could come up with. What astounds me about this show is, at the time of writing this review, a total of 8 users has it Marginal Prince listed under their favorites. Not only does this shock me, but it only furthers my belief that terrible anime is far worse than any venereal disease or cancer.
I've always wondered the thought process be…

There wasn't any review written for this anime, so I thought I would help out and write down a little.
Story:
A boy transfers to a school on a small island. A lot of bi-shounen guys walk around. At first he isn't really accepted, but because he never gives up everything turns out right.
I was really disappointed, because they could have done so much more with the story. But somehow they decided to keep it really predictable.
Art:
The art was pretty okay really. It had good details, nice colours.
Sound:
I give a 7, because of the singing. Every episode one of the characters starts to sing a song. That was just... really amusing. Well, go hear it for yourself ;).
Voices where done well also :).
Character:
Biggest disappointment ever. They have this basic bi-shounen cast. Cool guy, nice…
