Every April 1st, I spotlight a heartwarming anime with a special place in my heart. Last year, I covered the wonderful family film Shoujo Ramune. A film where we learned the lesson to choose ice cream over frozen yogurt, because some yogurt isn't even yummy at all! This year I'm covering "Master of Martial Hearts", which is the greatest magical girl anime you've never heard of! Move over Doremi, there's a new sheriff in town!
Why you should watch Master of Martial Hearts:
1. The characters. Simply put, Aya is one of the loveable and well developed characters in the medium. However, great characters can't exist in isolation. Even Don Quixote needed Sancho Panza. In Master of Martial Hearts, we get to see the astoundingly realistic family life of Aya and her mother Suzuko. The relationship…

Well ,this will be my first review and it's gonna be really short
I gotta say this OVA wasn't good at all ,I struggle to finish this show to find any decent positive point but no there's nothing good here ,the character wasn't that interesting and that dumb fight scene is just awful ,and the ending is just like a forced tragic ending ,neck-snapping?,exploded building ayy come on is there nothing better than that to conclude a story of a bunch of wahmen martial artist where they use a pistol in the end
Overall ,this OVA is fucked up,this the first time I gave 2 to an anime not even school days can get down to this level

A friend of mine, recommended me this by telling me "This is the worst echi fighting anime ever made, but it's a whole trip".
I can't actually qualify this anime (so just ignore the rate), it may look that it suck, but if you know that, and expect the worse of it you can have a really (I mean REALLY) good time, sometimes brutally bad animes are fun.
Laugh my ass all the time by watching how stupid everything was, and in the end I actually enjoyed it.
A really good recommendation would be to watch it English dub, it highly increase the fun material.
So how can I qualify it bad if I ended up enjoying it, there's no way.
If you're doubting about watching it, give it a try, the first episode is nothing from another world, but after the second everything goes wrong, and in the final chapte…

Ahhh, mastapiece.
From the amazing opening, blissfully filling our ears with a sense of dread, to the incredibly fleshed out characters. Astounding original sound track, and twists up the ass. What's there not to like?
The story is the root of what makes this anime one of the greats. Standing along such titans like Sword Art Online, and the newly minted Eromanga Sensei. Now, comparing the 3 gods, it's hard to tell who is better. Honestly, after 100 rewatches of each, I still can't seem to figure it out. But you know what they say, "anutha day, anutha play."- Martin Luther King Jr.
Of course, there may be haters out there, but they do not understand, nor do they appreciate art.
Please, check out the english dub, for the voice acting is probably one of the best I've ever heard.

Master of Martial Hearts is the utter definition of "So Bad It's Good".
I have long prided myself on being a lover of the best and worst that the visual medium has to offer. I don't limit myself to watching anime and movies that people, critics, or my friends think are great. I love watching things that just plain suck sometimes. So bad it's good, so bad it's HORRIBLE, I don't care- I think you can get something out of anything, even if that's "I want that hour of my life back and a bag to puke in".
I've seen a good number of godawful 80s and 90s OVAs that exist solely for exploitative purposes- tasteless, shameless, filthy, or just plain obscene things that have no good reason to be out there but for some T&A, but are cult hits regardless. Mad Bull 34, Violence Jack, Angel Cop, the lis…

Words cannot describe how terrible this OVA is. In fact, you know how you see lots of bad reviews on MAL and think to yourself "oh maybe I shouldn't watch this?" Go with that thought. This is one of the many terrible Ecchi shows ever made. You can seriously skip this show, there are so many things wrong with it that I'm sure have already been explained. The story is terrible, the Opening intro sounds like they just grabbed some random non talented girl off the streets and paid her to sing. The art, is really bad for it's time. It has more of a 2001-2004 feeling to it. I found it rather difficult to continue watching, however I made it... mostly because boobs. I would NOT! recommend this to anyone, especially if you're like me and want to watch bad shows for laughs and giggles.

***Caution advised, lots of cursing and overall bad mood.***
So, anime as a whole has the reputation of not only being really, REALLY overblown and stupid but also to not be the greatest example in media when it comes to portraying female characters. Even though the days are long gone when people considered anime nothing but "oversexed teenage girls and tentacle porn", its ugly reputation as being sexist, stupid and overly violent still resonates. Especially whenever something like... well, THIS hits the shelves.
I don't even wanna type in the name of the anime because it's such a disgusting piece of crap. Let'S just call it "Schlocky Ikki Tousen Fanfic", or SITF for short. It's not possible for me to accept the fact that really awesome, thought-provoking and just downright beautifully…

So I've watched this series probably anywhere from 5-7 times out of the boredom and interest of just watching whatever comes on. In an entirety the plot doesn't really make much sense at all even if it tries to tie things together it doesn't do even a decent job. It's mainly just a lot of nudity and fight scenes where girls get their clothes torn off with even a slight hit until the end there is little to no real storyline and even though there is one it's difficult to find yourself following it even when the plot tries to come together at the end it still doesn't make enough sense to care about this anime at all.
Sure, it can be fun to watch bad anime and this is not the worse I've seen overall. I say that there are just one to many loose ends in the anime and they really try to just pl…

When it comes to anime that's commonly called the "worst", many people will generally answer with shows from one of 2 groups of thought - new school anime fans will say something like School Days, Mars of Destruction, or Pupa; old school anime fans will generally say something like Genocyber, Violence Jack, or MD Geist. I'm here to present the case that THIS is the worst anime of all time, hands down.
Story - 1/10
The short version: Take Ikkitoisen, make it as edgy as the anime adaptation of Akame ga Kill!. Then, condense the end result into a 5 episode OVA, and give said OVA an ending as shocking as School Days - without the satisfaction of said ending. You now have the plot to Master of Martial Hearts.
The long version: A girl gets forced into a fighting tournament, with the prize bein…

In this world, there exist all kinds of anime. There are good ones, bad ones, as well as REALLY bad ones. And then… there are some that transcend the idea of good and bad, so much so that one cannot simply express their opinion of it by means of such trivial things like “numbers” or even “words”.
This is one of them.
Only 5 episodes long, the story is rather simple for something of its kind. Our protagonist, Aya Iseshima, one day finds herself participating in the tournament of Martial Hearts, and determined to win the tournament so that she can have her wish fulfilled. The first four episodes are pretty dull, and kinda just mediocre overall. Boob and panty shots are in no short supply thanks to the help of Arms, with everyone apparently liking to wear clothes that explode on impact, and…

This is by far the worse anime i have ever seen. The reason I watched this show was because I was having a debate with my friend on what was the worse anime ever. I said School Days he said this. He won this argument.
Lets start with the story. Random girl finds out she needs to fight in some tournament. Thats the whole story. Really thats it. Then we have its awful animation and horrible art. Apparently school uniforms are made out of paper. I was suprised this show had an english dub. And the dub was not terrible but it sure was cheezy. The op is garbage the worse i have ever seen. There was a distinct lack of any characterization. I found about zero enjoyment from watching this. It was a waste of time. The biggest kick in the balls with this show was its ending. It was like the people…

*Please stand by as we are having technical issues*
You know, you would think to this point that I would be desensitized at how much fan service the animators put into these shows but I end up feeling still grossed out to how much they do place. You don’t need a breast and tant shot every five seconds for it to catch someone’s attention, nor do you need female characters that are stressed that they may be more then just friends. The forcefulness of the girls being friends makes me feel a bit unwell and makes the script that much harder to listen to (Before anyone asks, I did watch the English version). Every character in this show seems ether perverted or a mental ca…

I’ll start by saying, I don't usually have a problem with finding anime I like, actually where genre is concerned I'm pretty easy to please. As long as it; Has some funny moments, a cute guy here and there, and a main lead that uses words with more than one syllable (sometimes). I mean that’s not so hard to do. Maybe throw in a cute animal just to add to the overall cuteness. So how, HOW, can a show that the girls kick ass be such a disappointment? For me it was because it just made me feel extra dumb. Hey I'm the first to admit I love certain genre because it requires minimal brain usage, no shame in admitting it.
Yeah, so if you plan to watch this one just hit the eject button on that brain of yours, send it out to clean or something and use that in between time to watch shows like this.…

Zettai Shougeki: Platonic Heart, what a series this is, it's truly something that has to be seen to believe.. And I don't mean that in a necessarily good way either.
I'll first start off by stating I watched this expecting a whole lot of ass-kicking babes, with a lot of fan service, which is exactly what I got. But here's the kicker..
General premise of the series is about a girl named Aya Iseshima and her best friend Natsume Honma, and their (well Aya's anyway) inclusion in a fighting tournament called the Platonic Heart, a tournament where female fighters compete for the grand prize of the Platonic Heart, a jewel that can grant any wish to the winner of the tournament.
Story 5/10
I admit I was kind of enjoying this particular little anime, for a little while.

NOTE: This is my very first online review so please bear with me.
I finished this series and I have to say that i was pretty disappointed. i understand that it's a 5 episode series, but this one dropped the ball and has no intention of trying to pick it up. I thought it was good at first; however, the series lead up to the biggest WTF twist of an ending i have personally seen in an anime so far. Basically, through out the series, it was one fight after another with plenty of fan service and somewhat of an attempt to throw in slice of life scenarios. Other than that, there really wasn't too much to it in terms of plot, characters and story.
That being said, if you are someone who doesn't care too much for those specific areas, then don't be surprised if it turns out to disappoint you, bec…

there is or should be a core rule with a short series. finish the story and simple. after all, ther is not enought time to tell a long and completd one. the whole thing is was suppose to be a fighting tourment for a wish, simple. the "fighting matches" was a badly done strip show. the last part when she "won" her all she thought she knew fell apart for no real good reason. if her mother paid ANY REAL PART IN THIS MESS. this could have been fixed. how? she was in the first one! so in the end her "prize" all her friends dead and betray her. i write this as a warning.....there are better was to waste your time.

Just a review I felt like writing because I thought a lot of other reviews left out some details. For starters, this review is meant to give people a general impression of the anime and whether or not they should watch it. I have been surprised from all of these action-ecchi anime series that Funimation has licensed recently, but I guess people out of Japan have started to take a liking to these genres. Watch this show in whichever language makes you more able to comprehend the story. I viewed the anime in English dub so I could catch more of the vocal connotations.
Story: The plot revolves around Aya Iseshima, a high school junior, who is dragged into a “Martial Hearts” tournament one day. Yes, by dragged, I mean Aya pretty much has to participate in a life-or-death situation since she j…

Hahaha, this was so bad it was entertaining. You have to marathon this gem, otherwise you'll never go back to finish it. Poor writing, generic characters, and ridiculous fight scenes(with guaranteed boobs every time, usually indicating the K.O.) makes this almost unbearable to watch. But Those are the same reasons i kept watching i couldn't help but laugh my way through. Personally I loved the ending, it's the best way to wrap something like this up.
Makes a great drinking game, and way to kill a very very slow Monday night.

Okay, so having completed this anime I can say I almost enjoyed it... until it got to the end. It has the rather standard ecchi anime vibe and typical OVA problems. Every fight you are guaranteed to see a boob shot with the occasional unnecessary fan service shots... it definitely feels like a wannabe Ikkitousen in that regard.
The story had a rather plain and unoriginal plot revolving around a gem that would grant the user any wish she chooses, however, it comes at the price of requiring them to fight for the gem and if they lose the fight, they would go into the "dark realm." The dark realm is never really explained and once you get to the end of the series you understand why. Now, as I was saying, I started off semi-enjoying this anime until it got halfway through the last episode. Ou…
