Introduction
Yuuki Akamatsu lives a normal high school life... that is until his cousin, Ayaka Nikaidou, convinces him to join the Journalism Club as a life consultant! His new job is to manage the advice column for the school's weekly newspaper to help him become more social. Soon, Yuuki is joined by three girls: the smart and shy Rino Endou, the athletic and outgoing Ikumi Suzuki, and the cultured and sweet Fumi Kujou. Together, they solve the personal problems of those who anonymously ask for advice.
Although each of the new life consultants has their own unique perspective, they are able to reach solutions together by holding debates and social experiments throughout the week. However, as time goes on, the four slowly come to realize that they have not only been guiding other students through their troubles, but also working through problems of their own as well.

So basically this is pretty lame, it has very few funny jokes (I have to admit that I laughed a lot at two specific jokes that were very creative, but just twice), and the characters are very bland. Although the characters are not exactly annoying, I'd say they all lack personality.
Regarding the anime itself, it constantly says "check our website to see more" like, wth am I watching this then, just put it here already. This anime is about a school club that reads some letters and give advice, and it's not funny nor interesting in any way I'd say. It's not completely boring either, but it's not good as other animes of this kind.
The art is good, the op is so-so, the ed is horrible, the humor is meh with few exceptions, and the characters are really lame, except Ikumi who I would say that…

At some point in their lives, everyone has needed to ask for advice from someone they find trustworthy, but it's questionable as to whether or not their advice is actually credible. I'm not sure how credible MY advice is, per se, but here's some that I'll give to you right now; you're probably better off watching something other than the anime I'm reviewing today. It was an anime from the Summer 2014 season that caught my attention for rather odd reasons; despite its license from Funimation and the fact that the final episode aired in Japan on schedule, subtitled versions of each episode were taking their sweet time being released, especially for the last few episodes. I ended up watching the first episode and putting it on hold for years, but now that I've finally finished it, I have to a…

I hereby rename the guy Eyebrows, because that's the only feature that gives him a shred of personality. Also his eyebrows look slightly disgusting.
The anime revolves around a handful girls giving advice to troubled students, in the form of Eyebrows presenting messages from students and the girls give mostly amusingly terrible advice until someone says something useful and that becomes the official reply. Since this (and small sidetracks) is all there is to the story you should watch with your focus entirely on the comedy that is thankfully sort of goodish. Eyebrows is the only character without real personality, I'm guessing pathetically hollow guys who never get anywhere with girls are meant to be able to relate to him easily.
The art and sound certainly won't disappoint, even if noth…

Story: so Yuuki gets put into the newspaper club but he gets asked to become a consular to the club by Ayaka and she puts him with 3 other girls and there job is to basically help people with there problems in the school that be trying to juggle clubs and studying or trying to be a forward with stuff so they basically give there best answers to the problem and the best why to try and fix the problem but honestly that's really about it actually.
Art: art is really good nothing really to complain about or anything art is done really well.
Sound: same with art nothing really here to complain about the OP and the ED are both decent in there own right and the some back music that plays when the anime is going on is good as well.
Characters: Yuuki is the main male lead of the anime and well h…

This anime definitely falls under a bit of mediocrity, but the overall plot and setting is not particularly bad.
Firstly, and this may be a bit hard to describe, but well the characters do go about a lot in the anime exploring other locales, the way everything happens in this anime makes it feel like they are always in a single place, if that makes sense. I suppose it is because the theme really just stems down to the central focus of the anime, being to help other students with life problems.
That is the premise and it kind of just throws that into your face as soon as you start watching. So, don't expect any character backstory. In fact, what I am about to write about them will not take that long, since they have little to no development. And since the significance of all the main char…

Hold up before you think this is a troll hear me out.
So I watched this when it was ongoing and since than it has been majorly update but some backstory on this series was that it was a test series with all new voice actors. These new voice actors have never done an anime before and were not bad at all, but the focus was on them learning not the anime itself.
Two enormous problems that cannot be overlooked in the slightest
1. NO constancy with episodes. I watched this while it was ongoing and on I think the summer 2014 list and it finished I believe late 2014 or 2015 while being 12 episodes. Episodes would come out on a random day once a week until I believe episode 4 but than became more sporadic being once a month or twice a week even. It was halfway done when that list was over putting…

Was boring here and there, but I suppose that varies among people.
The characters were adorable, the ecchi was well welcomed.
I hate harem and this for a change isn't harem, a very unique ending.
Typically in these comedies and especially ecchis, a bunch of girls hang around one loser boy and end up all falling for him, and he can't choose between them all.
this guy was a loser, and nothing special as well. 'Cept for the fact that he can actually make a decision after all. and the rest of the girls actually supported them, i found that very cute. the ending was enjoyable of course, however throughout the anime i fell asleep a few times. But since the ending wasn't a huge disappointment as usual for me, it's an 8! been a while since i didn't hate an anime's ending, it's refreshing.

"Everyone knows that handles are the weak point of any closet"
The quote above properly depicts the deepest moments of the slightly glorious anime that is Jinsei.
Jinsei, directed by Keiichirou Kawaguchi (Hayate no Gotoku/SKET Dance), immediately throws its audience into the world of Yuuki Akamatsu, the newest member of the Kyuumon High School Second Newspaper Club (One newspaper club was just not enough). Akamatsu was placed in charge of the club's "Life advice" column and was assigned three girls with extremely differentiating social standpoints to help address the concerns of Kyuumon students looking for help of some sort.
That's it. There really isn't much more story to it. It's just a day-in, day-out look into the second newspaper club and the outrageous tasks they must undertake…

I don't know exactly how I feel about this series. I like it, but then again, there are some things I don't.
I'll just have to tell you something important before you watch this show;
It is not a harem.
Yes, the main character, Akamatsu, does hang around several girls at all times. But, there's only one girl in which the show romantically develops. This is a good thing, and although it's not a huge change, it feels different from the norm when it comes to romantic comedies involving several girls.
I'll make this a quick first impression, for people who are curious. I'll just say right now, this show isn't anything special. There's a lot of cliche involved here, mainly having to do with the sort of accidents where the main character ends up grabbing a girl's breast when falling over, a…
