seiren now before you judge me for my opinion if you are I am not the best at reviewing soo plus these are very short reviews.
(SPOILERS)
1st arc=amazing not a 10/10 but a 8/10 tsumeki character was great,the ending in the 4th episode was fantastic.
2nd arc=meh not the greatest but wouldn't mind watching cause it was too generic I suppose this arc would be a 5 but miyame is actually a good character. 3rd arc=shit pissed me off it was too generic and predictable if the girl regretted her answer in 10th episode and at the remaining episodes he was going after shou and finally she confesses to him now that whould've been better a 2/10.
Pls don't judge me this is just how I think.

Seiren remains a hidden gem, often overshadowed by more mainstream titles. An initial glance at the reviews and its below-average rating made me apprehensive. However, after giving it a chance, I found it to be a refreshing departure from the norm. It's a testament to the old adage, "never judge a book by its cover" – or in this case, an anime by its rating.
From the outset, one might mistake Seiren for a typical harem, but it's far from that. Instead, it offers a novel approach to romance anime, presenting three distinct romantic paths with the protagonist, each with a different main heroine. Each arc feels like a fresh beginning, a new exploration of relationships.
One of the anime's primary strengths lies in its ability to showcase the dynamics between the protagonist and three vastly…

When i started watching this show i couldn't help but feel i'd seen something like this before. After a little digging through my anime history i realised it reminded me of Amagami SS. Then it dawned on me as I looked a little further that this is actually a genuine sequel to the show, featuring the same highschool, but 9 years later. Though i'd seen Amagami SS and not the direct sequel Amagami SS+ (somehow this one [SS+] slipped past me) which follows the same characters, Seiren is an almost stand alone title with its own unique name and protagonist/antagonists, just in the same setting.
Considering the moderate level of complexity and sophistication of the first show in the series (with a consistent antagonist driving the plot through the various love interests and to the final arc) thi…

I prepared to see her for her animation that attracted my attention from a distance, this varies in quality during the series, but it is still good, however in the stories at times they falter, because it bores quite a few times because of the turns they give to come to the conclusion of each one, their characters are endearing, there is no doubt about that, there is comedy, decisive moments in each story that I think that more than one will like, but that can not offer much more,I feel that he could I have felt much better, but they wasted a lot, and in part this is one of the few anime that disappointed me to the point of feeling a little bad

(This review has been adapted from my blog/reddit thread. Spoilers ahead!)
A woman in glasses really gets me going.
Part of it comes from the fact that I myself wear glasses; I can relate on some level with her bifocal style. Part of it comes from the subtext; an air of intelligence and maturity takes over. Part of it comes from instinct; I simply like the look itself.
I have other fetishes. Ones too private and too personal to share on a public forum. Seiren has its fair share of fetishes, too, but it hides nothing as it gives its audience an average romantic outing – in more ways than one.
STORY
Seiren adopts a structure known as the “omnibus.” In this case, for a romance anime, the description implies that the story will center not on a single relationship but rather many different…

Seiren is a smooth rom-com, more indicated to someone who doesen't requires much from the drama part in a romance, it's a happy story composed by three short stories. It's was funny, but not deep.
Despite the cliches, it was enjoyable, with simple to noticiable changes in the stories plot depending on the route. The design is ok, it could be better if the differences between each charecter's set was more noticiable, I got a bit confused in some scenes, but nothing that really bored me. The MC it's not very striking, without big goals or details about his past to let his personality more acessible.
Within 12 eps the character development was commited, with little time to deepen their boundaries in a touching way, what can be noticed in the lack of big challenges to be surpassed, so the dram…

This review is on my opinion on the anime
In all honestly the anime was doing really good until they screwed it up on episode 5. The anime has 3 different stories into 1 anime which really pissed me off.
Story:7/10 3 different stories put into 1 anime. The story started off amazing where there is an unpopular guy in school and a really popular girl hitting on him. It was moving on to the right direction until episode 5. Basically there is 3 different arcs.1st arc 1 guy and 1 girl fall in love and when they kiss BOOM, next episode starting with a new girl and new story. The anime would've been sooooo much better if they focused on 1 girl and 1 story.
Art 8/10 I rate the art 8/10 because when people look for an anime to watch they focus on genre and art styles. The art style used in this…

My rate for Seiren is a 9/10
Seiren is one of my favorite shows but there is two things I hate about it. What I hate about the show is 1. How he didn't end up with Tsuneki Hikari 2. The person he ended up with. When I first saw the show ( only 7 seconds in ) I said "ok so there isn't any English dubs." A few months passed and I saw the show cover again and I just wanted to watch it. I finished the Tsuneki Hikari arc and thought to myself "not too bad" and read the forum discussion and people were saying "the Tsuneki hikari arc sucked" but it really wasn't all bad. I finished the Tooru Miyamae arc and I said "tf is he a hoe he just kissed 2 people." I finished the last arc it's not bad but really he had to end up with his child hood friend what are you for real. Overall it's a great show a…

I'm just going to say it outright; if anyone is going to remember this anime at all, it will be as Amagami SS's eccentric little sister. The "eccentric" part comes from the fact that the story presents some rather bizarre events and quotes, while the "little sister" part comes from not only the fact that it not only noticeably comes from the same universe, but a couple of the characters are actually younger siblings of Amagami SS characters! (Let's not forget the omnibus format both series share, too.) In fact, this connection with Amagami SS was why I selected this anime to be among those from the Winter 2017 anime that I watched in the first place; in spite of this decision, however, my expectations were actually quite low. Unfortunately, I was proven right.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcom…

Alright, since all the reviews here are full of bullshit and too long to read I had to make one of my own. The anime had potential but at around the first girl they messed up bad, it was a major turn-off and since then it only got worse. The anime is really cliche and generic. It's awkward and boring. The main character is useless like in most of the anime these days. I don't recommend it, but if you are bored and you have nothing better to do with your life then it sure is a good way of wasting your time.

In a season filled to the brim with great animes. Seiren was not one in the category of perfection or masterpiece rank. This was not expected due to the anime being created by the same people who worked on Amagami SS. Seiren follows the same way of developing a story quite like amagami SS with the only diference that it follows for 3 main girls & only went on for 12 episodes.
[Story]6/10
The story elements in seiren follow how the main character Shouichi Kamita interacts with the 3 main heroine. The anime is divided in 3 arcs one for each heroine which are Tsuneki Hikari(eps 1-4), Miyamae Tooru(eps 5-8) and Touno Kyouko(eps 9-12). Each arc has its way of telling this story, but honestly the best arc by far was kyouko's arc since it had the best story & it actually felt different in relati…

So, a romcom, harem based anime has just ended for this 1st part of Winter 2017 season, now it's pretty obvious that this is a spin-off of Amagami SS, where it involves one guy with a harem allocated in each arc, now even thought both have different studios and producers, for some reason the setting where the same and so as the uniforms, so, here is how I rate this 12 episode anime:
Storywise: Ok, so let's get over each arc
Tsuneki Hikari arc: It was set in some remote place where it's summer and the guy has decide to attend some kind of "save Our Score" seminar, with Tsuneki who reluctantly tagged along m just as know know if Shouich rant her out about her having a part-time job. Now, that's is quite cheesy to start her arc, you tagged alone just because you suspected your classmate as…

Seiren is a very visual novel-esc anime. Each story arc revolves around a romance with one of three different girl, Hikari Tsuneki, Tooru Miyamae, and Kyoko Touno.
Story(6)- there isn't much for story here, it's just a romance series. the series is spit into three arcs. Each ending with the main character ending up with the individual girl, and the story restarts in the next arc. It doesn't go right back to the beginning, but rather after the point where the next romance option would come up. I can tell that the second and third arcs have some connection. I never really saw where Arc 2 fit into there, but whatever. We know how each story will end to a point. We don't know the specific ending or how we get to it. This story is fairly sweet at many points. I also really love how it's colder…

If I had two words to describe Seiren, one would be “uninspired” and the other would be “bizarre”. I’ll be honest, I’m one of those consumers that values unquantifiable things like creativity, innovation and, if at the right time, something that pushes the boundaries of the medium.
I don’t expect all shows to have this sort of thing, after all part of why I value those things is because of their sparsity within the medium. More often than not I just come across shows that have varying extents of those things and that’s definitely serviceable; I’m not expecting every show I watch to be the next Mushishi or Millennium Actress. Every shows at least nudges some kind of boundary within the medium and that alone is usually somewhat entertaining to watch.
But let me just say that the only bound…

So what to write about Seiren? If the review could be done in one word, it is shit.
But a one word review will be deleted by the mods, so read on. The Anime is like a successor to Amagami SS and I had high hopes for it. Seiren started on a good note and I enjoyed the first few episodes and though that this was good. Boy, I was so wrong.
The first arc is quite interesting, and the story is good. Basically if you do not know, Seiren deals with a 3 heroine arc. The MC gets to date all of them in the three arcs and end with them. Each arc has a separate storyline and the next one starts afresh. The first arc kicks off with a Tsundere cutie, and you can enjoy it pretty much. The next one is with a shy senpai and the enjoymnet's are so-so. But the last arc with a kouhai, clearly kills it.

So when LA heard the same author of Amagami SS was going to make an original anime under a similar format, LA was first excited!, then immediately remembered the failure in the form of Photo Kano but LA was still excited nonetheless.
LA will be tackling the plot by each of the girl's arcs (4 episodes each) in an omnibus format just how Seiren itself does it, so without further ado...
Hikari Tsuneki's arc is if anything is our introductory arc, showing us the characters, settings etc, as well as showing us the central girl for this arc Hikari herself. Hikari as as character if LA would say in Amagami SS terms, she's essentially what happens if Haruka and Tsukasa mashed together. She's a rather soft yet brash tsundere who loves teasing our main protagonist and her voiced by Ayane Sakura in…

Omnibus Format, is a type of story-telling that divides the whole series into multiple arcs each dedicated to a certain girl which the main characters gets a romantic relationship with. When an arc concludes, everything resets back to the beginning with an all new storyline and characters to follow. The most well-known series that features this kind of story-telling is Amagami SS which is pretty much the spiritual predecessor to our newest addition Seiren. Seiren, an original series made in collaboration with Studio Gakumi and Studio AXsiZ, aired this Spring 2017 is the newest series to feature omnibus format of story-telling. I personally think that Amagami SS is a good show so I was pretty hyped when Seiren was announced but honestly, it didn’t live up to my expectations. There were a lo…

Seiren is the spiritual sucessor to the anime/visual novel Amagami. although not having seen Amagami (although i plan to because i like some context with my doujin), the basic of the story is about a guy falling in love with a girl and trying to get into a relationship with them in the span of 4ish episodes with a kiss at the finale,until the show resets and he does it again with a different girl because repercussions aren't something we want to deal with when watching anime. that's what it pretty much devolves into, and in this show there are three girls that the main character tries to get with. from these three arc in my opinion only the first arc was entertaining, and while i wanted the next arc to be just as "good" the next two became rather boring, which may be due to how repetitive…

Teenage hormones are a powerful thing. The trials and tribulations we went through in our adolescence involving relationships and such can seem trivial by comparison to our current lives, but when we were in the moment they seemed so monumental. Whether it was timidly asking a girl out for the first time, or the lucidity and nostalgia of a summer romance, not much can compare to our teen years. Seiren randomly popped up on my radar before the winter season started (probably due to the plethora of attractive female character models), and after its conclusion I can assuredly say two things:
As a married man in my late twenties, I am clearly not this show’s intended audience
Being a teenager is awkward, and it doesn’t translate to quality entertainment
“Seiren”, meaning honest in Japanese,…

Seiren offers an insurance policy against the inherent risk of harem anime. You don't have to worry about best girl getting her heart torn to shreds by some milktoast dude choosing the worst possible option. Instead, the milktoast dude chooses every single option in different timelines. Everybody wins!....or do they?
What Seiren gains in having multiple routes it loses in meaningful character progression. You won't feel the ultimate satisfaction from watching two lovers grow together over a dozen episodes nor is there any conflict to set up an emotional payoff. This problem is further compounded by boring character designs barely distinguishing each heroine from the other and the bizarre decision to not have the most interesting girl, H…
