My review of Mato Seihei no Slave can be summed up pretty easily: fast entertainment with some very questionable choices.
The main character basically gets enslaved and forced to fight monsters so the commander can achieve her personal goals. In other words, he’s not really a character… he’s a resource—an asset with legs serving his “master.” And it raises an interesting question: if a better alternative showed up to achieve those goals, what would happen to him? Nothing good. Of course, the show won’t go there, but it’s pretty obvious he’d be discarded without a second thought.
One of the biggest issues is the protagonist himself. He’s incredibly passive. It doesn’t matter who he’s with—commander, sub-commander, or some random soldier—he just adapts and submits. There’s no internal conf…

Well, what can you say about Chained Soldier? The anime has more than its fair share of fan service, so much so that it's annoying. The story is very simple and not particularly complex or good. The characters, and especially the interaction with the main character, aren't even that bad, but unfortunately it's typical of a harem where everyone falls for him after less than three or four episodes. The antagonists had a cool build-up, but then became really shallow and poorly told; it doesn't matter what happens to them. On the positive side, I can say that the anime gets funny every now and then, and everything revolves around the MC's sister.

This is a hilarious story, because it is simply a healthy relationship masquerading as being edgy.
Seriously, any girl you ask who has an interest in you will be more than happy to walk on you and step on your nuts while laughing the whole time, especially when you are young. Oh wow, you really helped me all day, so I shall reward you with a kiss. Or, we will bathe together and enjoy checking each other out. Haha, that is actually a super typical, healthy relationship.
Who knew a person could be happily forced to address another person's desires. Hehe.

This hentai disguised as an anime isn’t a masterpiece, but it’s actually kind of fun. I found it pretty shallow up until around the halfway point—I was thinking, “another empty world full of girls stripping for pure fan service”—but when the story started to take shape, I got interested. Sure, it didn’t develop a ton of stuff, but it was progress.
Now the positives: the protagonist’s transformations were really cool—I’d love to see what his transformation would look like if Tenka mounted on him. All the female characters are perfect—but that’s obvious, that’s the anime’s appeal, right?
Now the negatives: like I said, the world feels very shallow. And to be honest, I didn’t understand anything about how the ‘Mato’ works or why only women have powers—not to mention, I found the powers a bi…

What is truly disappointing about this show is I really had high expectations for it. The premise seemed very interesting and the kind of original as well, and even seem to have some decent production value behind it.
Now that I have actually watched it, I am sad to say I was slowly disappointed. Not to sit here and complain all day I will sum it up by saying pretty much every character in the show is completely irredeemable and extremely annoying. The MC is probably the only character who is kind of okay, however he has absolutely no spine and never grows one. He acts all embarrassed during any scenes for the "rewards" or otherwise indecent moments. However, during the duration of the show he never becomes accustomed to it and continues to act surprised at every opportunity without beco…

this review contains words that may not be suitable for some people, you are warned...
well well, Harem + Echii= this anime...
I really don't like this genre, so I started watching it with a contrary to my inner desires. the first scene was well done, it was like old samurai movies, when all of the village is burned, and it is in black and white, and we see the main threat massacaring everyone in the village, in a very brutal way. this scene is the best scene in the whole show, it is directed well, has good animation and it really delivers on selling you the main story point, about the villains and the main threat, so I give it a point.
but after that it was a cringe-fest of just the MC being miserable and acts like he has never seen a girl in his life, being one of the worst main charact…

I am a big fan of the ecchi genre. If there’s something this beautiful genre has shown me, it’s that it can compete with any other genre and shine with its great stories. That’s why I’m very demanding with it.
Chained Soldier started very ambitiously. An ecchi anime with a deep story and mysteries to unravel. What could go wrong?
The problem wasn’t the story or the fan service. The problem was the harem. Without a doubt, one of the worst I’ve seen in my life.
How can a harem go wrong? Let me explain:
There are two types of harems. The most common is where the girls fall in love with the guy because he is chivalrous, has good feelings, and pays attention to them. The guy is usually a pathetic type with luck who never concretizes anything with any girl out of shame (the dream come true f…

“Peak turned into an abyss. What misery!”- Anyone who has read the manga knows what the meaning is and where I come from. The manga is peak entertainment and as a result, fans are also expecting that the adaptation will also be quite entertaining. But the anime was one of the huge... No, wait... the anime was the most disappointing of the winter ‘23. I am writing this review as a fan of this series who really enjoyed and loved the manga.
The one of the most anticipated ecchi anime of winter ‘24, “Mato Seihei no Slave” aka Chained Soldier produced by Seven Arcs. Seven Arcs, WHAT REALLY! I am not saying that Seven Arcs is bad as a studio, it’s just they haven’t done any ecchi based anime at all. Tonikawa and Blue Period are their previous top-rated work, their whole decision of adapting “M…

Honestly, this is gutter trash at its worst. It has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. At least some ecchi anime at least have good animation and sexy scenes, while this is a trainwreck that uses 3D models for pretty much EVERYTHING that moves even slightly, perhaps some things that don’t move too. I am very surprised with just how low an anime can fall, the word ”pathetic” barely even begins to sum up how horrible it is.
The manga had great art, fast pace, no unnecessary scenes or drama, lots of ecchi and it felt so lighthearted that even the abuse felt ok even though I’m more of a sadist, because he didn’t feel as offensive as some doormat mcs, at least he’s got balls and gets stepped on because he likes it, not because he’s a wimp.
Then enter the anime, some of the worst art I’ve ever…

Chained Soldier was one of the best series I've seen in awhile. It doesn't do anything better than any other series in particular, however the combination of elements really come together for an enthralling watch. First and foremost, this is an ecchi show and it doesn't pretend to be anything but that. With that said, it has a surprising amount of depth to it, whether it be in terms of relationship building, story progression, character development, or world building. I was honestly surprised how well the events of the story were conveyed.
For a brief synopsis, our main character is Yuuki Wakura, a listless man searching for an occupation. The world he lives is not too dissimilar to our own, except females have obtained magical abilities. The abilities are a side effect of an existing al…

Meh. I was looking for more fan service than this, but it seems as the season goes on there is more and more actual plot, which is kinda mid. I think the monster villains were pretty cool, but there are alternative "neutral villains" and the basic monsters are pretty boring.
Also the girls running over the MC and making him clean and cook gets old pretty quickly. The MC almost always seems to be in a "male worker" outfit. I guess it's the main premise of the show, that the MC is a "slave", but in the combat scenes the MC seems to be a pretty important part of the squad, with the "slave" gimmick simply being a collar and the excuse for the "reward". They didnt have to make him a maid/cook too, but they did, and apparently he likes it and is very good at cleaning and cooking. He takes great…

I don't get why all the hate.
It's an Ecchi Anime with good story and great Animation.
Yes there's slavery, blackmail, almost rape, forceful sences. But the MC likes that shit so i say it's okay.
But to be honest though the only girl with good character is Tenka's team.(Anymore would be spoiler but Tenka best girl)
If you want to watch Tiddies with high quality this show is for you.
(My rating would be an 8/10. I gave 10 cus people rating it low)
Extended review:
Animation: 8/10
Action: 7/10 (not bad)
Ecchi: 7.5/10 (They show skin but MC'S wired fetish isn't that erotic) Harem: 6/10 The character's aren't that good(other than Tenka)
Plot: 7/10 the story is somewhat good

The ecchi that had the most potential but they decided to be afraid of success.
This work is well known for its ecchi more than anything else. Those of us who made the decision to watch it knew that its strongest appeal would be the fights and fanservice. The bad thing is that the worst of the work is just what we expected the most, the fights and the fanservice. I would like to take the story into account so I can give it some extra points, but they don't even take it seriously. The only thing the anime seeks is to try to provide the best settings for the reward scenes.
The fanservice isn't even good enough to make it worth watching 12 episodes. Censorship is bubbles of light that saturate the screen and from the little that can be seen, it can be said that the uncensored version of Blu…

Before watching, I thought that this was the worst anime this season, especially with the Echi and Harem themes which were definitely very boring.
But it turns out I was wrong! Indeed, for the first and second episodes I was quite no understand about this anime, especially in the story and background of the incident location, slowly but surely I started to understand that they were in a different world and were tasked with protecting there.
For Harem or Echi here it is still in a safe condition, not excessive, let alone making the audience horny, this is just my opinion, whether anyone else's.
This is different from the Ecchi anime that I often see, most of which show too much lewdness compared to the progress of the story, and this actually makes me disgusted to see it.
Indeed, this ani…

I'm not gonna lie, I came here just for the tits but I ended up finding a pretty interesting story.
I felt the anime had a nice balance of plot and PLOT.
I expected to not like it at first because being submissive isn't one of my fetishes, but the anime knew how to balance out the truly important bits.
As for the story itself, it seemed rather interesting. Nothing groundbreaking, sure, but interesting enough to make me pay attention to more than just the lewd scenes.
Honestly, if this anime doesn't get a second season, I'm considering going to the manga.

Mato Seihei was one of the most hyped adaptations of the year and sadly failed to live up to expectations. It never managed to capture the magic of the manga and just felt like a flat, soulless seasonal.
I’ve read the manga for the past year or so and was pretty excited when this was announced. I knew the battles could be tricky to animate, but I at least had hope the erotica content would be handled well. I mean, that is the main selling point to the story after all.. but my hopes and dreams were quickly dashed within a couple episodes of this. Scenes were changed or omitted from manga chapters and the ones we did get, were just mediocre. There’s a handful of decent scenes, but it’s just not enough considering that’s what made this series famous.
The story has never been the strongest…

Well, the season of "I want to be a slave to Makima" has come to an end, the era of "I want to be a slave to Tenka" has begun, and femdom fans are back to their old ways....
If you know anything about the world of animanga, you probably know or have at least heard once about such a popular person as Takahiro, a man whose type I call an "idea generator". Takahiro is the author of several manga and short stories, including popular works such as Akame ga Kill! or Yuuki Yuuna Is a Hero. However, bloody fantasy and maho-shojo is not the only thing that this brilliant man can produce, because Takahiro knows all the delights that can appeal to readers, mostly Japanese. In 2007, for example, he co-wrote with Makoto Kanata the visual novel Kimiaru, a work where the story centers on a brother and s…

Not all fan service are created equal and we can say just about the same for Mato Seihei No Slave (Chained Soldier). When the promos aired and the visuals started showing up on the Internet, many of us probably rolled our eyes as we see the amount of lascivious fan service. I confess to myself that as a manga reader, I came into the series for guilty pleasure rather than the story. While the premise doesn't seem entirely creatively bankrupt, it hardly sounds something that can be lucrative either. In our industry dominated by countless isekai, fantasy shows with cute girls, and fan service, Mato Seihei No Slave didn't seem all that special at all.
Takahiro's series isn't difficult to watch with a rather easy-to-follow plot. Right off the bat, we are given some background storytelling abou…

Chained Soldier - Great manga with a stupid localization name, eager-but-turned disappointing adaptation, once again by Junji Nishimura, the long-standing director who can't hack a decent adaptation for time millennia.
If you know an author by the name of Takahiro, he's the creator who has created one of the most defining works of the 2010s: Akame ga Kill!. Anyone who've seen this show will tell you that it's one of the most popular shows of that time period, when anime was just about slowly going into the mainstream. And based off on one of the most prominent characters of that series, another work is created, and has undoubtedly become the author's next hit, which would become Mato Seihei no Slave a.k.a Chained Soldier (honestly, what a stupid localized name). And since this Winter seas…

Over the past 12 weeks, I have spent a combined 4 hours of my fleeting time on this planet watching Chained Soldier, and through 12 episodes, all I can say is that my experience was only slightly better than taking the SAT, getting a colonoscopy, or having a physical done by an old man. This series just feels forgettable; in the depressing way where it isn’t laughably bad enough to be remembered, but it’s nowhere near good enough to be remembered either. This series is just another redundant entry into the bloated ecchi ___ genre, that blank being an amalgamation of different story beats that try to add more substance to the main plot of watching the main character be lusted after by beautiful women.
Kill la Kill is an ecchi anime that does this well; Its overall story is equal parts gri…
