You know, Comic Artist and His Assistants was so close to being a recommended anime for me. It's both funny in sad in its all too real portrayal of the modern Japanese man; awkward, anti-social, unable to properly talk to women or distinguish fantasy from reality. it could have worked as either a lampooning of the ecchi genre or just straight up ecchi with social commentary and I would have lauded it as one of the more standout horny comedies. It was so close. But the problem is it wants to sexualize women who look prepubescent in the creepiest possible manner. It's one thing to take an adult woman who is five-foot-nothing and lacks large... tracts of land, and sexualize her. It's not unheard of in real life and women like this deserve a chance to be represented in adult media. It's anothe…

Pantsu! This is what this anime was about. It was a slice of life harem/comedy/ecchi without an actual over-arching plot. All episodes had 3 sketches mostly focused on things like misunderstandings, accidents etc. in which boobs and (especially) panties were well represented as in any ecchi show. It was mostly alright entertainment, nothing too serious, at times bit too generic and hence predictable.
Characters were pretty stereotypic. Main character Aito Yuuki is perverted mangaka who is especially interested in panties. He has several female assistants and female editor with whom he used to be classmates with. Most of the time Aito says and does stupid things that makes those girls angry. Yet he is trying to be kind and decent fellow, he just can’t help himself. He often apologizes and…

The Comic Artist & His Assistants
Art: For a show that is pretty much just an animation of a manga, it had pretty good art. While the characters were pretty generic when it came to how they were drawn and how they acted, it was cute to watch them interact with each other, even if none of them were particularity intelligent. The landscapes were not varied hardly at all, almost every episode took place in the room of Aito, but every so often they would go somewhere else for maybe a minute or two. There was a single episode when the crew went to a hot spring and inn, it was nice to have a change of scenery.
Music: Music really did not play a major part in this anime adaptation. Really the only music there was, happened to be in the intro/outro and very softly in the rest of the show. Most…

This kinds of anime is very good in my opinion.. Because it combine both slice of life and comedy in a quite good anime.. I've read the manga and really enjoy both of them! I just hope they made it more longer and more many in anime because the anime one feels more good and easy to understand instead of the manga. Well the " Ecchi" Doesn't seems to frankly and I really enjoy it XD
Because personally Comedy and ecchi it is a bad combo.. but this one is different! I really enjoy both of them! You have to try this! It will worth your time!

This. This is how ecchi should be done.
Now before I go onto my review about Mangaka-san to Assistant-san, I want to preface by saying that this show will go over a lot of people’s heads. Ecchi is usually either a big hit or a complete whiff; that’s the reality. And for me, it was a homerun.
Mangaka-san to Assistant-san is formatted with 13 minute long episodes. Many people may question this, as we are all accustomed to the usual 23 minute setting, but regardless of its short length, this show managed to maintain an astounding “laughs per episode” for me (if I were to pull a number out of my ass, I’d say I laughed out loud at least 10 times each episode).
Unlike a normal review, I will not go in-depth about the production quality like animations, sound, plot, scripting, etc. Why? This is…

It's a cute show, it knows what it wants to do and does it pretty well. Animation isn't that good but that's not the important part. The characters interactions are funny and adorable and there are some heartfelt moments. The panties obsessed MC is very funny and likeable, and the show doesn't go too overboard with is obsession. The other characters are mainly just the generic tropes; tsundere, airhead, and loli, but they are all very likeable and funny. In the end its a nice 12 episode 13 minute show, if you have some free time it can easily be watched in an afternoon.

Mangaka-san to Assistant-san to is your basic harem/comedy anime and here is what I honestly have to say about it after finishing 12 episodes just recently.
Story [7/10]:
Ok, here's the thing, I'm not saying the story is boring, matter of fact, I like it, but it's kinda cliché if you get me. The anime is episodic with each episode being unique every character of the show and each episode having a new comedic skit.
Art [8/10]:
Well, to be honest with you, there's not much I can say about the art. Zexcs did a brilliant job making the art soothing. Also, I love the character designs of each character.
Character [9/10]:
Ahaha, I'm speechless, I honestly love the characters in this anime. You have your two main characters, Yuuki Aito, who is a perverted manga artist and loves to draw pant…

Mangaka san to Assistant san is a slice of life harem comedy depicting the life of a perverted mangaka who makes the monthly manga "HajiCafe" with his assistants. It's a nice comedy. The animation and art is pretty good and the characters are all likeable.
Story 7/10:
Not much of a story. The 12 episodes pass by showing different situations of the team. Just like in Lucky Star, Danshi Koukousei and Nichijou, this anime also shows different skits. Almost every skit is funny and nice to watch.
Art 9/10:
I really enjoyed the animation and artwork of this anime. The character designs were really amazing. It looked kinda like the average anime should. Not much fancy but not too dull to make it look bad. Nonetheless, the character designs are really amazing for a short anime series. Really enj…

Somewhere in me is a cynic that I refuse to give in to, because I don’t want to make the mistake of judging shows by their cover. And every so often, I have reason to be optimistic, as a number of shows I’ve doubted have proven to be not just pleasant surprises, but fantastic works in their own right. But damn it, Japan, when you release shows like this, it’s very hard to stay positive.
‘The Mangaka and His Assistants’ focuses on the daily lives of manga artist Yuki and his all-female assistants. When he’s not drawing manga, he’s usually trying to subject them to his perverted desires. Among the assistants, Rinna would go along with him if Sena, Mahiru, and Sahoto aren’t there to stop her, while the latter three thrash him for his advances. This is the entire show, and unfortunately there…

Nekoyaki here, watched this anime when staying over my pal's dorm, and really liven the atmosphere! Really great crack from matsuoka yoshitsugu!
I've been reading the comic and also the sequel ones! There ya go, nekoyaki's favorite review, comedy~~~
At first why the heck scores that I give are really high?
It's story is really good (in the comedy way), the crack, stupid joke, usual ecchi joke, and else! Artwork is quick paced and my eyes were really enjoyed it! Music, good! Characters, all superb, cool ashisu, tsundere loli blonde, big-breasted tenden bokke, and childhood friend editor!
But for the romance, if you want more story or relationship development, this anime would be a bad choice. Don't expect romantic development since Aito want harem. You can get cute expressions of the cha…

Mangaka-san to Assistant-san to The Animation, is simply an anime about a guy named Aito who is a manga artist, and works closely with various people, such as Ashisu. The show has a harem-like feel since it is a 'one guy, lots of girls', but no matter how perverted Aito is, he does not have any intention to do any of the girls wrong, even if what he says and does, comes off the wrong way.
Story: To be blunt, there is very little story to the show, aside from Aito being a perverted manga artist, and Ashisu wanting to be a manga artist herself. From the first episode to the last, there is no real progression in the story.
Art: I do not know how to properly describe it, but the style is a nice and simple design that is good overall. The many exaggerations used in different cases, along wit…

Ok, time to make my review.
Poor 3.
Story- Co'z I find the plot pretty simple and most of it were pretty random to say the least, and that's as simple as I can put it.
Decent 4.
Art- Well, despite of some fanservice, I guess I could forgive this anime, since such thing doesn't make it too erotic. Good 7.
Sound- I have no problem as who did who about the character's voice, also I kinda like the opening, but not the closing, and that's as simple as it is.
Character- I may have hated Aito as this perverted predator, but he is one predator that I like, since it was his predatory acts that make this anime funny.
Also, Ashisu does compliment Aito's funny antics as a victim who knows how to keep him at bay that adds to the gag and Mihari whom Aito fears the most, of course given that this…

Welcome to the 13 minute classic - Mangaka-san to Assist-san to The Animation.
Story: 7/10
The story in itself isn't anything special, of course. It follows the perverted, young mangaka Aito Yuuki, which, because of his lack of zeal, is about to miss the deadline once again.
The story is pure comedy, so I don't really mind if its not worked out perfectly.
Art: 7/10
Cute character designs, as well as good backgrounds and just as good animations definitely help making a good anime. Just like in this case. The colors are lively, the qualitiy is consistent, nothing to rant about.
Sound: 8/10

Pantsu Pantsu Pantsu.
If I could comprehend this anime into three words it will be those magical, hallucinating words- Pantsu.
Mangaka-san to Assistant-san to, as the name suggest is an anime about a Mangaka, Aito, and his female assistants. It is a complete fun ride, I had a blast watching this anime. A very light hearted harem story with just right amount of graphic ecchi to make it funny but staying away from overdoing. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good laugh, especially to a guy.
Being a 13 min per episode ecchi-comedy there is not much to expect from the story. Each episode is divided into 3 plays and each of them plays out different from the other one. Though the next episode does picks up the elements devised in the last one, story is still not the strong point…

Anime shorts are a very interesting genre of anime. They can vary from a wide range of topics and ideas, as well as their run times, such as Pupa with its four minute run time, and Tonari no Seki-kun with its 7-10 minute run time. Today, Mangaka-san to Assistant-san to The Animation. An...interesting short with a 12-13 minute run time.
Story (7.22/10): A ecchi manga artist and his four assistants. That is literally the plot. Throughout the span of the 12 episode run length, the show varies from topic to topic, as with most episodic anime, ranging from several short stories within one episode of its small run time, or one big one that spans the whole of the episode.
What I think this show does well in, is the fact that the show doesn't stray from what it was trying to do. From the first…

Pantz & Oppai!!! Haha! That's what I said.
Spring 2014 anime is a breathe of fresh air from the terrible winter 2014 anime season.
STORY (8):
The story follows Yuki Aito, a manga author, who has an interest in boobs and panties. One day, Mihari Otosuna, Aito's editor, sends an assistant by the name of Ashisu Sahoto to work closely with him. Basically, crazy things happen.
The story has a lot of funny moments like for example when Sena is whipping Aito. Normally, an anime requires a beach episode, am I right?
Anyway, jokes aside. Not only that, I did like the way how they develop Aito's relationship with the girls. However, I feel that these episodes are not enough to make me get invested into the characters more.
ART (7):
The animation is all right. Nothing spectacular.

"Pantsu are number one!" -Aito Yuuki
This slice of life - or rather, a slice of a perverted mangaka's life anime contains a wonderful mix of colourful characters, absurd settings and best of all: the erotic, crude humour. Slap all these ingredients together, and you bake up this tasty treat: Mangaka-san to Assistant-san to: The Animation, almost guaranteeing laughter in every episode.
Story:- 6 out of 10.
You really wouldn't expect it to be driven by plot given it's premise and so it follows the main character; Aito, an extremely perverted mangaka; and his assistants in their chemistry of daily happenings. Humour is the central concept that drives this anime with some sub-concepts here and there.
Art:- 7 out of 10.
The art is solid, crisp, consistent and sensible. The animation smartly…

OOOOOOH, that was sweet another harem theme anime has ended, so time to make my review........and I'm gonna keep it simple.
Story, Enjoyment and Overall: Very Good.8.
Ok, there isn't any story at all its just a plot where it revolves around a perverted manga artist and his pretty assistant, even so the plot alone was sufficient enough to carry this anime's 13 min per episode around, sure there were the usual fanservices, but I have to admit it really does add to this anime's enjoyment and I really have no reservation to give this anime's overall a high score.
Art: Good .7.
It's the ecchi and I do mean the ecchi that for me is the good part of this anime, especially when we talk about the fanservice.
Sound and Character: Fair.6.
Well.....for the sound, I have no qualms as to who did…

Mangaka-San a short anime about a perverted manga artist and his female assistants in their daily lives.
Actual Score 6.8
Story: 7
The story was pretty simple as it follows main MC Aito in his daily lives drawing manga with his assistant Ashisu while dealing with various other girls in his life. Their is no real main plot but is made up of small sketches that take over two per episode, which focus on one of the main girls and Aito with lots of comedy thrown in which is fun but can get a bit samey.
Art: 7
The art is pretty standard with it being rather good nor bad and doesn't ruin the experience.
Sound: 7
The opening of the anime is up lifting and fun to watch and listen to as it fits into the slice of life feeling the show has; the ending is different in that it felt it didn't belong…

This is an anime about a man and his dream. His dream of panties. Seeing panties, smelling panties, touching panties.... Yeah that's honestly most of what this show is about. Oh, and a there's also little stuff about making manga. But it's ecchi manga about panties anyway. Each episode is divided into three or four different scenes, and almost all of them deal with panties and Aito's love for them in one way or another.
This is a harem anime about a mangaka of an ecchi manga and the girls around him. His three assistants (though two are hardly ever seen actually helping his manga at all), his editor, and several other minor characters. The main character, Aito, is absolutely ridiculous. His emotions seem bipolar and he can quickly flip from being a perverted idiot to a sympathetic and kin…
