do not watch this horrible show bro, the last few episodes are awful and this fat dude completely ruins the story. I legitametely have never felt this way about any anime of all time and i was so close to actually throwing up. It was solid up until HE arrived but when HE did i actually felt sick to my stomach and wanted to die. Why in the world did this stupid studio do this and NOTHING happened. The art style changes in season 2 and i dont really care to watch it after what happened in season 1 but its not better. The MC was cool and the girl was cool too but holy crap they RUINED IT TO THE POINT OF ME ACTUALLY FREAKING OUT. THis is garbage

This anime made me go on a rant after finishing the 1st season about how every person that participated in the creation of this abomination should have been fired or worse, preferably worse. Because god damn this anime is terrible, the main character isn't likeable, the main love interest isn't likeable, the harem members aren't enjoyable. The most enjoyable thing about this anime is having finished it so that I don't ever have to look at it ever again.
This is actually the worst anime I've ever watched.
This anime is unique in the way that it's actually terrible. Not a single redeeming quality about it
The art style however is fine. It looks generic for it's year but isn't necessarily bad.
I would recommend never watching this and if someone recommends it to you stop being friends with th…

Gather 'round, folks. We're about to take a trip into the dumpster fire known as Masamune-kun's Revenge.
Picture a plot thinner than a sheet of paper, characters flatter than day-old soda, and a 'revenge' plot so juvenile it'd make even a high school drama seem profound. This anime redefines the art of cringe.
Masamune-kun's Revenge manages to squander a potentially interesting concept, delivering cringe-worthy 'comedy,' ludicrous drama, and characters you won't even remember once the credits roll.
In short, this anime is like a guilty pleasure you know you should quit, but you keep coming back for more disappointment. Grab your popcorn and brace for impact. You've been warned.

Seriously an amazing anime. Yes, it is cliche at times, and yes its cringe. but I find it very relatable. A highschool boy searching through manga or magazines for tips and tricks to impress the girl he likes even if its for revenge. This is why I've grown to love this anime making me experience feel as if I was living the moment myself. Yes its immature of him to waste 8 years of his life to get built to get this revenge. BUT then again that's what it means to be young and immature. We've all had that thought of wanting to get revenge on someone whos rejected you or dumped to but never have because it would be a waste of time. But this anime did it and its amazing and cliche to see it happen. I do find this anime extremely frustrating leaving us at such a terrible place in the anime to en…

Unlike most reviewers, I did not come here to rant, although I do have something to rant about. Nevertheless, this anime was not as bad as most people say.
The beginning is clichè; it involves a smart, handsome teen who recently transfers schools. However, there is a twist. He transfers not because of educational reasons or because he got bullied in his old one but because he wants to date a girl and break up with her. What the actual f*ck? Yeah, that was me when I watched it.
Nevertheless, I gave it a try, and it was fine. The flashbacks which were told later on on the anime were really important and I understood the main characters desires at last.
Although his reasons were quite childish and immature, the main character still had his own ambitions and points to prove.
The charac…

You expect Masamune to get his revenge like you know the title says and since it's all he cares about but no. It ends with a karaoke party and like no clear ending what so ever. It was pretty funny and had like one intense moment where you think someone's gonna like commit suicide. You expect the 12th episode to have a conclusion and for Adagaki to admit ho she feels or remember Masamune as pig foot but no! Unless they plan on making a second season this was a complete waste of my time.
The storyline made sense and the expected other love interest was there and even the cute overbearing mother. There's even a character who reminds me of Yukimura from Maid Sama a bit.

What a waste of time!
I thought the ending would actually get interesting,
but i was wrong don't waste you're time watching this.
I went into this with no expectations and was on the fence about even watching it and a huge mistake, i should've left this one alone.
Story is a basically a circle you'll end up where you started.
Every episode is the same storyline just different settings. It's basically nisekoi but worse and i dropped that one.
I was very disappointed and thought the story would actually get good as there was some
potential but of course very disappointing.
I had to finish the series or i wouldnt be able to write a review on it as it would be very hypocritical of me to not like it without even finishing it and I'm telling you now don't waste your time!
Goodluck

I’ve known right from the beginning that it’s just going to be another generic school rom-com as I browsed among the entries for Winter 2017, but something within me wanted to watch this show. The premise made me hope that it’s going to be what I wanted it to be, an actual fulfilling story about revenge through love. As an overweight loser who daydreams about obtaining the perfect body and being popular with girls, I quite find Makabe relatable in his endeavor. I was interested how he is going to carry out his plan on Adagaki, but I guess I was asking too much. I know I shouldn’t be this disappointed, but damn this show went nowhere.
First of all, the story makes it too convenient for Makabe to get closer with Adagaki. For a cruel princess, she acts very inconsistent. You could say “Oh yo…

warning: spoilers
(The review has a tl;dr section as well.)
Once in a while you come across an anime which actually has a nice premise: a boy called Masamune seeking revenge against his former childhood friend Aki Adagaki. So far so good. Then you take a careful look at the genres shown on the MAL page - harem, comedy, romance and school - the absolute worst combination of genres, which usually indicate a mediocre story. Thus the first doubts appear. In the first minutes you are presented a “narcissistic” personality of the MC and think that he could be interesting despite of expecting a generic harem protagonist. Unfortunately, when his mother and Aki appeared for the first time, the death flag for this anime was set and the potential was wasted.
I will try to hold back cursing words an…

I noticed there are many hate reviews regarding this show, I decided to make one defending it and explaining its brilliance instead, which some of you have missed, or hate it because it's popular to do so (as with SAO).
A fat boy turns a muscular young man after being rejected as a kid and plots revenge on the girl who broke his heart. Right away I experienced Nisekoi vibes mixed with Maid-sama and sprinkled with a little bit of Oreairu.
Firstly, there's an abundance of absolutely hilarious scenes throughout the anime, his mom being a 'loli hag' is just one of the examples. All the girls in the anime are extremely likable and have a character of their own and the main girl characters get plenty of backstory, even the ones not introduced in the show from beginning. Voice actresses are sup…

In summary, I absolutely loved this anime. It was a great spin on the typical shojou romance.
The story of Adagaki Aki and her cruel outlook on men, mixed with the hilarity of masamune makabe trying to be the cool ikemen he looks like, created a wonderfully entertaining anime.
Story 7: The story isn't all that satisfying, honestly. There are several ways to look at it of course, I personally love a rich story with comedy and an interesting take to a typical genre. To me, "Masamune-kun no Revenge" did that. The story was cute, funny, and light. I feel like these days so many anime are dark and depressing; Finding an uplifting anime is a nice change to the mainstream stuff I have been seeing.
Art 7: The art was not too bad, I didn't hate it, however for those that don't like typical, or c…

Apparently a lot of people believe that "trash" is an accurate tag for this show.
Well, I am here to tell you that anyone that dares think so is absolutely right.
Yet, honestly, this is my favorite anime of the season... The drama is often quite natural, and the characters are quite refreshing to see. Makabe just has me cheering for him, and Aki is glorious in her tropy tsundere personality. It treats it's cliches in such a self aware way they just become funny, and to be honest, the story actually got me quite hooked, since there is actual progression, and NO HAREM THANK GOD.
Still, the show suffers from a few typical issues for it's genre. The endless push and pull between the two main guys is pretty annoying, though expected. And "that one side character that facilitates the relation…

There are a lot of things that factor into creating a well-rounded enjoyable anime title. It’s a combination of the story writing, uniqueness, sounds and animation poured into the creation of the work that produces that golden quality to it. But there’s another category that needs to be touched upon to create a good anime and that is characters. Smart intellectual characters and ones that strive from the common cheap use of stereotypes make a title memorable due to the unique ways these characters are presented through dialogue and interaction. Your characters are the fore-front in the anime, they are the lens the viewer experiences the story through, and so having them well fleshed out and smartly written enhances the experience for the viewer.
But contrary to my statement listed above,…

(This will be my first review. It was orignally a forum comment that I cleaned up to be more appropriate. I'll stick to more detailed manga reviews in the future.)
The story seems pretty original at first but then it devolves into your generic RomCom, with all the cliché.
1) Story and Characters: 4 each
In the beginning, it looked like the main characters have it all. Yet, under the veneer of wealth, all is not so good. Masamune is popular but thinks excessively of himself. He also has a complex because of of his past. He is confident if we compare him to other MCs of the genre but he just as dense and stupid at times.
Aki is your generic run-of-the mill tsundere. She has underlying trust issues and often treats others with contempt. However, she will gradually open her heart to other…

You might be thinking, “Ugh, is this just another typical harem anime?!” Well, to that I say, “Yeah. It is…" But, at the same time, "No. It isn’t.” Let me explain why without spoilers:
The reason why I say “yes” is because if you’ve seen a few harem anime before, you will most likely be able to predict how the story will end from the first episode. There's no concluding ending (probably because it's setting the stage for a second season). This series reminds me a lot of Nisekoi: the story isn't too amazing and doesn't stand out too much, so you most likely won't like them if it you don't like harem anime in general. The reason why I say “no” is because this isn’t actually a typical harem anime because Masamune-kun (main guy) does actually turn down potential love interests in this season.…

Masamune-kun no Revenge is another one of those anime which sounds quite interesting on paper, but never comes anywhere close to reaching up to its own potential. What could have been an intriguing story about a man's almost lifelong quest for vengeance through devoted self-improvement and utilization of deceit against the girl who made his childhood a living hell instead ended up being nothing more than a cliché, predictable and rather generic romcom. Ultimately, it only leaves you thinking about what it could have been.
In the distant past, Makabe Masamune was a fat kid who found himself being a victim of bullying from numerous other people his age, but especially bad was the abuse from the spoiled rich girl Adagaki Aki, who among other things gave him the nickname "Pig's Foot" for his…

S.P.O.I.L.E.R.S. - Stupid Pissed Off Idiot Likes Emphatically Raging at Shit
This review is honest, but purposefully exaggerated so that it may be entertaining to some people, much like the anime itself except I believe myself to be halfway amusing. It also contains bad words like “fuck” and “dick” and “kittens”, so to all children who can’t handle a few motherfucking swears, avert your goddamn eyes!!
Let’s talk about the concept of Masamune-kun for a moment, and why I was immediately nervous about where the anime would go.
The plot has a clear ending that it is working toward: Makabe Masamune will get revenge on Adagaki Aki in a most grandiose and satisfying way. But you can’t just have a good ending; otherwise the audience would just skip to the last episode to see how it plays out. Y…

Watching Masamune-kun no Revenge (Masamune’s Revenge) feels like listening to a depressing story from a friend that got terminated from their dream job. I can’t exactly say this show is something for everyone. It’s a dramedy teen soap opera that some will find entertaining while others will leave with the thought of never getting their time back. Listen. This show isn’t really hard to understand but to appreciate it? That’s another story.
Adapted from the manga of the same name, the series is pretty straightforward. Well, it is straightforward at first glance considering the premise. You got this hot main male protagonist (Masamune Makabe) who is popular, handsome, athletic, and pretty much the IT guy that every woman wants to get their hands on. Except of course, he was totally the oppos…

In spite of the many Masamune-kun reviews out, describing the show as “really pretty okay” or used words like “becuz”, I decided to write a semi-serious review to add to the mix. Revenge is a dish best served cold. I’ve heard of people exacting revenge on others due to everything from getting cheated on to a murdered relative. The reason I state this is to accentuate the weak premise Silver Link’s (Kokoro Connect, Strike the Blood) “Masamune-kun no Revenge” carries. It is a story about a tormented chubby kid (Masamune Makabe), who grows up to be a modern marvel of handsomeness, vowing to enforce justice on a vicious vixen (Aki Adagaki) by breaking her heart. Not necessarily the strongest basis for seeking revenge… he could've just, you know, grown up.
The TL;DR approach to the anime would…

This is a story about... revenge?
Masamune-kun no Revenge is definitely an anime that gives enough to talk about. Just by reading the synopsis you get attracted and curiosity makes you watch it, and what do you find? Masamune wants revenge. Why? Because his feelings were rejected as a child. How will he do that? Wasting his life finding the chick who rejected him, and then wasting even more time making her love him back to reject her and breake her heart. Wow, how mature of his part!
This is supposed to be a romantic comedy, so the plot should not be taken so seriously, but that's the main problem. While it has comical moments, the serie wants you to take the revenge issue (the main focus the serie gives) as something totally serious and justified, which fully collides with the fact th…
