Let me set the scene: I started Eromanga Sensei thinking, “Alright, maybe this is just another cheesy romcom with some light chaos I can have fun roasting.” But instead, I ended up watching 12 episodes of emotionally confused storytelling, where characters talk about their “dreams” like they're chasing legacy while writing what is basically erotic sibling fanfiction. The vibes are all over the place—sometimes trying to be wholesome, sometimes awkwardly suggestive—and it’s constantly dancing on that fine line between oddly sincere and deeply uncomfortable.
I laughed here and there. I cringed a lot. And once in a while, I saw glimpses of something genuine… but they never lasted. It’s one of those shows that sounds like it has meaning, right until you realize it’s just the same handful of c…

Back from 4th rewatch, and yeah it is still one of the most fun and cute rom-com series you can ever get in anime.
2025 now, almost 8 years since then and I don't remember any fun "rom-com" anime can make me giggles from my heart and say "ahh, I really love this"
Even 100 GFs, Roshidere, BokuYaba, Quintuplets, AoButa, Bisque Doll couldn't make me feel this way.
Example of good Rom-Com since then I can think is Angel Next Door (I wished they would give it proper sakuga)
The strength of Eromanga-sensei I think is in its lightness, quirky cast, and details on the fanservice its target audience actually wanted.
Unlike recent rom-coms that relies on heavy plots at some point, every heavy plots Eromanga-sensei had were compressed into a quick light one, which I found really easy to digest and w…

Throughout this series, I found myself involuntarily doing a few things (not in any particular order, some more than others):
1) Looking away from the screen because of really, really suggestive content
2) Seesawing between incest and not-incest
3) Thinking to myself, "The hell did I just see?"
It's a pretty normal anime with some highly suggestive sexual elements in it. and my gods it took me so long to realize that there wasn't going to be any incest (at least in the anime, I haven't read the manga. Yet). Would it surprise you guys if I was disappointed that there wasn't any incest? Sure its wrong and inappropriate, but I am sure it would have been a guilty pleasure of quite a lot of people on this site if it had.
However, this anime does in fact live up to its name as a romantic come…

Everyone working on this show should be arrested and I honestly feel like I need some jail time just for watching it. I heard it was the worst of the worst so I gave it a shot and yup. It was. Ok so the premise of the show is this high schooler finds out his 12 year old sister draws erotica for him and so they fall in love. It’s a lot worse than it sounds. There are so many shots of her ass and thighs that just make me cringe and feel disgusting. So many shots of her panties or shots down her shirt. If she goes to change or take a bath you bet your ass we’re going to be forced to watch. They do this with the other girls as well with bikinis, lewd poses and such. Just please Japan, please stop funding shit like this. SHE’S 12! The writing is just a horny as well. In the first episodes this…

I somehow watched Eromanga Sensei to completion, including the OVA. Here are my thoughts:
Basically, this anime has a ton of sexualization and not much else. If you want ecchi cumbrain garbage, here's your jerk material. There's no other major selling point here.
Most of the main characters in this are writers or content creators in some form – I thought this might be an interesting dimension to explore. Unfortunately, this show does not deliver any kind of interesting story whatsoever. The supporting cast, despite being composed of artists, are mostly treated as sex objects, and the scriptwriting reflects this accordingly. I was initially hopeful for the content-creator perspective of this story, but they never really provided anything substantial in this regard. The male MC is a writer…

Eromanga Sensei is an anime that undoubtedly caught me by surprise. From its vibrant storytelling to its captivating humor, this series effortlessly won me over. As an anime enthusiast, I found myself thoroughly immersed in its world, eagerly awaiting each episode to unfold.
The show's strongest suit lies in its well-crafted comedy. Eromanga Sensei seamlessly weaves witty banter and hilarious situations, keeping the audience chuckling from start to finish. The comedic timing is impeccable, and the quirky interactions between the characters never fail to bring a smile to one's face. It's rare to find an anime that consistently delivers laughs without feeling forced or overdone, and this one truly excels in this regard.
Furthermore, the characters in Eromanga Sensei are incredibly endearin…

What is a manga?
What is a sensei?
Who is the ero?
These are the thought-provoking questions the viewer is given when watching 'Eromanga Sensei'.
As Shakespeare said himself, '14 year old girls, find attractive, you should.'
'Juliet I am the Romeo'
Eromanga Sensei is a clear continuation of Shakespeare's highly intellectual literary works, on the basis that it too, places underaged women in more mature circumstances and situations. As we can see from one of the most critically aclaimed plays of the 16th century, it is apparent that women such as Juliet (or in this instance, Sagari) are pushed into forbidden love at the tender age of 13. This is clearly something that should be encouraged - we can infer this from Shakespeare's own perspective.
In Eromanga Sensei, we can see how inspired…

THIS REVIEW CONTAINS MINOR SPOILERS THAT YOU SHOULDN'T GIVE A SH*T ABOUT
this abomination is the ultimate incest trash, it's so generic in terms of atmosphere, in terms of characters, in terms of story that i am shocked how this thing crushed my lowest held expectations for a generic anime, or even a consistent anime
i just finished this anime and i don't even know how should i even describe what i saw but i'll try my best
story and setups: so the story is about a shy girl who locks herself in her room and her brother who is trying to make her open her leg...i mean heart, open her heart, however it turns out our super shy and tsundere girl is into drawing ass, after this revelation the brother will try to help her! in various ways
first off: what an irresponsible piece of garbage MC is,…

I had no intention of watching Eromanga-sensei. When it first aired, I saw the fan reaction, which was largely mixed but clearly indicated it wasn't for me. While I enjoyed the first season of Oreimo, the second season and the OVAs turned into a form of quicksand that sucked vulnerable viewers into bad writing and a bad ending. (There's a good reason why there are multiple GIFs of people destroying their computers/TVs after finishing Oreimo.)
Not wanting to put myself through anything close to that, I put it on my "to never watch" list. However, upon joining the MAL Discord, I found a regular user who continuously brought up Sagiri as the best anime girl and Eromanga-sensei as one of the greatest anime of all time. It didn't matter what we were talking about—Sagiri ended up in the convers…

Introduction:
Yeah, I know I'm WAY late to this party. A friend requested a review though, so why not? Eromanga Sensei made quite the splash online as THE bad anime of 2017. Gigguk hyped it up famously as "The perfect bad anime" and "The ULTIMATE bad anime". He made it seem like it's so bad it's amazing and hysterical. Sadly, I must disagree. Eromanga Sensei is NOT "The Room" of anime. It isn't uniquely bad or uniquely depraved. It's just an amalgamation of the shittiest cliches and tropes from other bad echii anime.
Background:
Art in general is highly subjective, but what qualifies as "So bad it's good" is especially fuzzy. For me personally, the best examples either display extreme technical incompetence where the creators clearly didn’t know what they are doing, or batshit insane p…

Eromanga-sensei is the portrait of an unusual comedy that plays with the morbid side of the mind. Moreover, the show salvages some ideas from other anime in search of acceptance. In the end, Eromanga-sensei only offers an unsatisfaction with an overused harem story and with some misleading sexual concepts.
The average: The anime started with a promising 8.23 and ended with a miserable 6.97. The 12 years old girl sexual behaviour. The silly and unrealistic story.
The good: Some hilarious moments and few characters.
Perhaps, the biggest mistake is the story. Even if we eliminate the infamous incest debate, we end up with an empty harem story. A laddie with a collection of girls between the ages of twelve and fifteen who fall in love with the protagonist, an overused story romance in the…

Okay I'm going to be the saving grace of the MAL entry.
Everybody only really likes to see positive and negative reviews. So this is going to be a pretty niche one. Kinda why every review for this show is less than a 3 or more than an 8 and I'm going to be the confuting force and say they're both wrong because it's not good or bad. It's the purgatory of mediocrity that is not bad enough for hell but isn't good enough for even a taste of heaven.
Now I understand why people give this a high/low score
1) They thoroughly enjoyed it
2) They instantly liked the characters so all the interactions were good for them
3) The anime didn't impress them and usually people don't know how to react to something so middle of the road, so since it didn't impress them it was an instant fail in their book…

Another faceless insert experiences harem that glorifies incestuous relationships above all else. Airable on the technicality that no genetic connection exists between our fated lovers, this perverse work exists solely for the marginal increase of lower body blood flow of pre-teen male viewership. Sexual depictions of almost borderline children provide the majority of this shows content, and the rest is crayoned in as a pretense to not endlessly replay the same scene with the same background. None of the characters are redeeming, and no plot point has any relevance to story progression.
Art is standard. Sound is standard. Enjoyable for the sexual deviants and emotionally desperate.

This show exceeded my expectations in every single aspect. It was an enriching experience from start to finish and I can't advocate for your viewership enough. Don't misunderstand me; this show is absolute fucking garbage - but it traverses past the point of being an ironically enjoyable experience to a point of unironic, earnest enjoyment.
Slowly and surely, I began to board the bandwagon upon realizing this fact of life. At some point, you begin to accept that this is no mere sub-par show. You soon realize that this redefines what can be considered "bad". This show takes garbage to new territory.
Though, all bias aside, from a critical standpoint, the art is visually pleasing - it really stands above as a cut above the rest in terms of visually aesthetic and is lacking in flaws. The so…

Not being able to see a loved one for a long period of time, especially family bound by blood or being siblings, will surely bring pain to someone currently having a situation like that. That is a universal fact. Not being in our parent's side obviously has a same effect. Some may suffer ftom trauma, some will get shocked and hate the world and some, will lock themselves in, not being able to get out.
The story of Eromanga-sensei revolves around Sagiri Izumi, a shut-in who haven't got out of her room since the untimely death of her parents. Because of this, her relationship with her stepbrother, Masamune Izumi, became horribly complicated. Wishing to see the face of his beloved sister, Masamune tries all ways in order to make Sagiri come out of her room once amd for all.
In order to sust…

Oh no. Oh no...
I was holding off on publishing a review until I finished watching. Not for any hope that something like this would get better, but simply due to the fact that I couldn't bring myself to write about whatever this is. Eromanga-sensei is everything wrong with the anime industry. And you know what? That's not funny. I see so many jokes about that concept. How viewers laughingly remark about this series' and how horrible it is but eat it up regardless, promoting this utter shit until it becomes the most popular non-sequel of the season.
And it is. Eromanga Sensei is the most popular non-sequel in Japan. Can you believe it? A show about a fourteen year old trying to f…

For better and for worse (mostly worse), Eromanga-sensei is the successor to OreImo and its themes of sister-banging. But where OreImo had some interesting things to say about the otaku community, Eromanga-sensei possesses nothing, and is nothing, puerile and creatively bankrupt.
Eromanga-sensei in many ways represents everything that is bad with light novels. It is a story (I guess, if we put aside its flagrantly incestual nature) of a group of twelve-to-fifteen-year-olds who are famous artists, as if adults do not and cannot exist. If Eromanga-sensei was taking inspiration from the scribbles of a bunch of middle school students, its rubbish writing would actually make a great deal of sense.
Stop me if you've heard this one before: the protagonist and a sexy lady, both being inexperien…

Personally, this anime is actually pretty decent when it first started, but when I try to compare its later episode, where are of his harem came together, It became quite uninteresting, and even, unengaging when a certain episode is dedicated to a certain girl in his harem. Though, if you are going hate this show for its depiction of lewd 2D girls, who are obviously premature, then hate all the show that's out there that does the same too. Even if that includes your favorite show. Konosuba is one, they lewd Megumin. Tbh, it should be pretty normal to see such a thing in this community that you've gotten involved in. You may also hate this show for the somewhat revolutionary idea of romance of legal incest story, that being said, no one are going to make an actual romance of that IRL, so wh…

Eromanga-sensei is a culmination of everything I hate in lazy, insipid, vacuous, pandering entertainment. Now, to clarify, first of all, I don't believe that just because an anime, or any piece of entertainment, panders towards a certain demographic, that it is inherently bad necessarily. There has been plenty of anime that pander towards the otaku audience while, at the same time, remaining fun, and some instances, good shows, but Eromanga-sensei is not such an example. It's a show that lives by the convention in terms of its plot structure, comedy, character archetypes and dives head first into trashiness at any moment it can get. What could have been an interesting look into why and how people who shut themselves inside their homes live on a daily basis, akin to something along the line…

I don't normally tend to point fingers at people, but just this once I feel like I need to get some things off my chest here.
Almost every single season nowadays, it seems there has to be a scapegoat. An anime which you are somehow obliged to publically hate on or you'll be looked down upon by the community and no one will take you seriously. I'm honestly sick of this kind of group pressure/bandwagon mentality. We're now halfway through the year 2017 and yet hating on popular stuff over the internet is somehow still considered to be the coolest and best thing since sliced bread. *Especially* when it's gross, creepy and immoral shit made for closet pedos, am I right? Shows like this really bring out the most toxic sides of the anime community.
When you have an anime which totally wears it…
