If you have watched The Quintessential Quintuplets, you will probably feel a familiar vibe while starting The Café Terrace and Its Goddesses. At first glance, it looks like another typical harem romantic comedy, but as the season progresses, it starts building its own charm through its characters, emotional moments, and the warm atmosphere of the café. I went in expecting a fun and simple comedy, but I ended up enjoying the journey of these characters much more than I expected.
The biggest strength of this anime is that it understands its characters. Each girl has her own personality, background, dreams, and struggles that make her feel like more than just a part of a harem setup. The interactions between everyone feel lively and natural, whether they are arguing, teasing each other, or s…

This is typical anime where you only need to watch the first three to six episodes; the rest can simply be skipped.
The story is not unique with more flashbacks to five twin sisters.
The art isn't bad, but somewhere around the third episode it becomes obvious that the girls are as alike as two peas in a pod: the same height, the same age, the same breast size, and they clearly lack individuality.
It does contain ecchi scenes, but only in the first few episodes, after which you are offered more plot and drama.
Finally, If you've watched more than ten anime in your life, this one won't grab your attention, unfortunately. 5/10

I think the Harem genre has become almost like McDonald's. It is the most repetitive junk food that we have the audacity to call sustenance. And with Anime, the Harem genre has devolved into something just as poorly executed for the sake of making money. Sex sells the same way McDonald's fries do. With "Megami no Cafe Terrace" or "The Cafe Terrace and its Goddesses", the viewer is served another copy and paste, fast food, Harem genre featuring thin plots supported by big breasts and your choice of hair colors and hackneyed personalties.
The plot involves a college student named Hayato who inherits a cafe from his grandmother who raised him after the tragic death of his parents. Little does he know, that five young women live and work there, too. And after a shocking first encounter invol…

ADULT ROMANCE HAREM THAT IS ACTUALLY FUNNY AND WHOLESOME
Really Good show i didn't watch when it was Airing I saw the synopsis and I thought it was just another shitty harem thus skipping it and I will gladly Admit that I was wrong.
The GOOD - The show isn't cringe like Most of the harems and the jokes actually makes you laugh and the best part is it is all Adult Anime not the Cringey Underage Teenager Romance Harem Shit which pisses me off. And the characters do have pretty decent backstories. The Opening Song of the 2nd cour On Autotune Full blast makes me lose my shit and laugh everytime.
The Bad - I really don't like the animation quality and Colour palette. And lastly too much Ecchi leaves me with mixed feelings especially when Mr.Hayato Massaged 17 Year old Ami's Melons. Otherwise…

THE ONLY REVIEW YOU'LL EVER NEED!
This is not like quintuiplets.
At first glance it seems similar but not quite. The story revolves on the mc and with the goddesses of their cafe keeping it alive tribute to the mc's grandma. quintuplets do not have this kind of plot. touch of romance will be seen while showing how the cafe was build in the firstplace, complications getting resolved comedy and chill plot. Even showing that their grandmother's were in the same cafe working that they're currenlty working, makes the story different from others, all of the characters have nothing in common expect for the fact they were in the care of old owner of the cafe. Season 2 will be even bigger cause new characters popped out.
Plot: 10 (different from other generic romance comedy chill anime genre)

I went into this show with very little expectation, expecting another typical harem rom-com where it seems there's very little reason for any of the female leads to fall for the male lead and (obviously) lacks maturity (RaG comes to mind). To my pleasant surprise, this was not the case, despite some (predictable) instances of fan service and the clichéd beginning to the story involving Hayato's deceased grandmother and the café she left behind which provides the setting. Very much in the vein of The Quintessential Quintuplets with a competitive edge, but with a nice dash of slice-of-life minus the high school tropes that have been seen time and time again thanks to the maturity of the cast.
To cover the characters, the male MC is *gasp* actually someone who I could see having people attra…

You don’t need to watch this and I would honestly recommend you don’t. If you’ve seen any harem show at all, you’ve seen this; hell, you’ll be able to predict beat-by-beat where it goes. The only “edge” I would give this show is its adult cast. Everything else about it is bland.
This is Seo Kouji, the mangaka, at his worst. His first hit, Suzuka, touched on relevant topics that few mangaka dare touch on—I appreciated it. His next hit, A Town Where You Live, was a slogging melodrama that nonetheless hit the right notes at the right time to keep audiences engaged. His third hit, Fuuka, was… controversial but ultimately brave.
In contrast, this work is so by-the-numbers that I can only assume he wanted to produce a hit big enough that he could retire. Five women work at the café that our MC…

My experience with The Café Terrace and Its Goddesses was very strange. I expected a lot from the fan service. I expected very little from the story. Ironically, everything was the opposite.
In terms of ecchi, it is an anime, for experts in the genre, without much merit. Of course, the girls are cute, but nothing remarkable. Average ecchi level, leaning towards low. The strange thing is that, even though these girls don't show much skin, the animation quality makes them look gorgeous. Wow! These girls are beautiful! And the fan service scenes are well-received.
In terms of story, while it is not a new work by Shakespeare, it is above an average ecchi-harem comedy anime of recent years (for example, Renai Flops, or Immoral Guild). What makes it enjoyable is the past of each girl. Understa…

The Café Terrace and Its Goddesses has a lot of surprises and one non-secret you kind of have to ignore are the ecchi parts. Do that, and I think you might have a good time with this one.
Story & Characters: The Café Terrace and Its Goddesses takes place in Tokyo where Hayato Kasukabe has inherited a café, Café Familia, that his grandmother, Sachiko, once owned. With no real ambition to use it as a project, Hayato decides to return to check the place out to demolish it in place of a parking lot that he wants to earn some money off of. The problem? His grandmother took in five girls to live on the premises that connects the café. While away, Hayato realizes that these girls loved his grandmother like his own, and they want the café to remain in place. Our story shows us how these five girl…

Pada awal cerita disuguhkan dengan adegan yang kurang, di 3 episode pertama memang tidak terlalu berkesan ceritanya, tapi mohon bersabar.
Episode selanjutnya sangat menyenangkan, ada tipe gadis tsundere ( ouka ), ada tipe tsundere yang lainnya juga ( riho ). Jangan terpaku dengan rating dari anime ini, menurut saya ini anime harem terbaik. Jujur saya sangat menantikan musim kedua dari anime ini pada tahun depan.
Dari segi opening menyajikan musik yang bagus dan saya menyukai gaya animasi dari anime ini. Dari kelima gadis, yang paling kusukai adalah shiragiku karena tipe yang manis seperti hinata.
Sekian review dari saya, menurutku ini anime yang sangat bagus, sangat saya rekomendasi untuk kalian yang menyukai genre adult cast dan harem. Sampai jumpa kembali untuk musim kedua.

First off, the main character is a total G. He doesn't put up with the other girls' BS and constantly keeps a calm, rational mind. Overall, his interactions with the females in the harem are very well-handled and their respective relationships develop organically.
This first season was a pleasant, easy watch. The series starts off as a harem/slice-of-life without any real romance. While this can cause the show to feel a tad slow in the beginning, it's made up for with lots of character development, comedic moments, and fan service. Don't worry if you're feeling starved for romance, the last couple episodes pick up a lot of steam and set up a spicy-looking season 2.
If you're a romcom/slice-of-life enjoyer - this is right up your alley. Even if the genre isn't your favorite, I'd still rec…

I feel obligated to state firstly that I have read Kouji Seo's previous series Suzuka entirely as well as a pretty sizeable portion of the kinda-sequel Fuuka. So understand that I get it with his style of storytelling.
That said, this series is something that I could only recommend to someone who LOVES the completely insane nonsense that Seo is willing to shove into his works to the point that they dont even care how the story justifies the madness. I felt that there was at least SOME attempt to justify the wild moments of Fuuka, but this show seems to lack any of the same moments and just throws in the crazy.
It felt somewhat refreshing at first to have a male protagonist that doesnt need his hand held through every single aspect of functioning as a member of society, but the cast of gi…

The plot may not be innovative, but it serves its purpose effectively. Personally, I enjoyed it. While it may seem a bit slow at the beginning, as the episodes progress, the story gradually becomes more engaging for the viewers.
The strongest aspect of this anime lies in its characters, each one being so diverse that it's easy to sympathize with at least one of them. Although the protagonist may appear somewhat flat initially, the interactions with the other girls help to compensate for that.
Romance is not heavily emphasized in this season, as it focuses more on introducing and familiarizing the viewers with the characters and their environment.
In terms of animation, it meets the expectations for this type of anime. The situations presented do not require highly advanced animation qua…

This is the best harem anime since quintessential quintuplets.
If you're finding a good harem anime since the quintessential quintuplets already ended, this is the one for you. It have a mix of quintessential quintuplets and Amagi Brilliant Park in a way.
Of course this anime will be compared with quintessential quintuplets a lot, but it's a fair comparison and is very similar, having both something better than quintessential quintuplets and worse than it.
The story is pretty good. It have a bit more depth than a slice of life anime, but not as deep to get you a head ache.
It's also very easy to follow along.
The characters, of course as a harem anime, is very well written too.
The character interactions are enjoyable to say the least.
The production quality is very good for this genre,…

Megami no Café Terrace would be a good anime for audiences who enjoyed some, if not all, of Gotoubun no Hanayome or any other harem anime, the details below will explain reasons why.
As far as the music goes, such as the opening and the ending songs, it was pretty fitting to the anime's mood, the opening was attractive and the melody was quite catchy in a fun way, while the ending music played a crucial role in wrapping up the mellow story in this anime.
From episode to episode, Megami no Café Terrace did well to build on characters and character relationships. Their interactions made sense, were logical, and fun to connect the dots from one episode to another. Of course, this means any harem-anime lover would be able to enjoy the story and these episodes. However, some audience may fee…

“A harem anime with 5 sisters in the same house trying to hit on a male main character, I've seen this before....” -Me
Ah, harem anime, they come in all sorts and forms, there is a niche userbase like thems very much, if you are one of them, then The Café Terrace and It's Goddesses are great in achieving that. I wouldn't think that this anime revolutionise the genre, but nonetheless it execute it pretty well in a nice story that was very enjoyable to watch with some very good ecchi. Perfect, isn't it ?
So what's up with this quoted backstory, is it real ? Yeah there's a few things to mention to make it clear, the 5 girls aren't actually sisters, it's just 5 women who all got their reason to not live with their parents that preferred to live with the grandma in a nice family, so they aren…

Okay guys we all know the kind of audience for this one , and for them one word
This one is a big yes , you gotta watch it.
if asked about the great distinguishing or attractive aspect of megami cafe ill come up with a big ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ but as an harem anime which is supposed to be about cute color coded (yes the harem enthusiasts will know what i mean xD) girls with slightly tropey I am gonna go for the poster finish for those who dont know the names tsundere(long haired purple) , dandere (the big boobed green hair) , genki deredere (twintails blonde), kuudere (short hair blonde) and and a ahodere (tall blue) . this combined with a none idiotic and slightly respectable Main character who is actullay kind of semi self aware and is able to recognize and even act on the feellings of some of th…

First of all, I want to say that despite some of the controversies related to Kouji Seo and his works, he has kept up a level of consistency in both the anime and manga industry. His most popular works have received anime adaptations including Suzuka, Kimi no Iru Machi, Fuuka, and now, Megami no Cafe Terrance. The latest one perhaps got the speedrun treatment as it was announced faster than any of this other adaptations. That being said, I confess to say that Megami no Cafe Terrance is nothing short of mediocrity.
Based on his latest work, Seo decided to jump onto the trend of maids. It's honestly not really much different than his projects. You can pretty much replace his female cast with maids and the result isn't that different with his ideas. This one has more harem tropes and it does…

Girls in sports, girls in a love polygon, girls in music, and now, girls serving in a cafe — that's what following this mangaka by the name of Seo Kouji gets you for a start, and that goes like his usual stint of rom-com garbage stank.
The harem rom-com (kinda shit) connoisseur of a mangaka, the maestro Seo Kouji is back with yet another "grand" piece of his manga-to-anime works, nothing really is stopping this guy with anime adaptations back-to-back that started with 2005's Suzuka, then on the way to 2013's Kimi no Iru Machi a.k.a A Town Where You Live (which I thought was quite good at first look, though beware rewatching it out of mediocrity), and 2017's Fuuka (which was the first Seo Kouji show I've gotten to after reading the manga because of that spoiled stopping point). Case in poi…

It’s not great. It’s trashy. But it is still enjoyable. Here we have a shameless quintessential quintuplets knockoff. But wait, it’s not entirely the same. Amidst the heavy fanservice and reused tropes lies a decent watch. It’s more wholesome than you may think. The comedy is pretty cringey but it isn’t horrible. The series progresses by progressively revealing the backgrounds of each character, and they are well-fleshed out. The romance is pretty weak and consists of the MC’s few moments with each girl, except for blue hair because she is an idiot. The drama is the same as the comedy, but I thought it was better, sometimes it was cringe, as was everything with this show, but it also felt real sometimes and served as character development. I also want to add that the main character is good…
