Another piece of garbage shit like you can expect from a typical harem anime. The show tries to look like a romantic comedy but in reality it is just a cringe stupid show with almost nothing meaningful going on.
First of all there is seriously no romance in this anime. People call it romantic comedy but there is barely any real relationship development. If this is what they call romance then wtf is Clannad.
The story itself is extremely basic. A MC become a priest and ends up living in a temple full of girls. From there the entire anime is just his daily interactions with them. And those interactions are not even romantic. Most of the time the girls treat him like shit slap him insult him and use him. And somehow this is supposed to be the harem dynamic of the show.
The comedy also feel…

Now I am not going to lie I initially started this one while it was airing then after about 7 episodes totally forgot about it. I just recently watch the Anime Tying the Knot with an Amagami Sister and NEEDED more anime like it so I came back to Tenpuru. I did not remember much about it so I decided to re-watch it from the beginning and I am glad that I did! Now is the fan service in this series over the top? YES. Is the story pretty generic? YES! Do the characters look like every other character from this type of anime? YES! But with that said I still thought it was a fun watch especially considering how well it developed the relationships between all the characters and the MC. On top of that the comedy was PEAK! I can't remember the last time I laughed this hard watching an anime! So if…

Temple is your standard guy moves into a location only to find a host of women (that become his family) harem anime but unlike Café Terrace & Amagami sisters of recent years, Temple goes full force into Comedy & Ecchi rather than intrique or drama & seemingly has a clear winner. It's over the top in all aspects and at times the comedy becomes repetitive or too loud but for the most part uses the premise to ground itself & provide an entertaining set of episodes.
The main character wishes for isolation & improvement over his desires as a result of family trauma & his father's influence but his resolve is weak to non-existent, He is actively trying to find enlightenment by suppressing & understanding his desires which makes things interesting given the circumstances but his character & gro…

I'm still trying to figure out why I stuck with this anime for as long as I did. I mean, the premise had some potential - a guy trying to escape his family's toxic legacy by becoming a monk? That's some interesting stuff. But no, instead we get Akemitsu, the most indecisive protagonist I've ever had the misfortune of watching.
He's all about avoiding his dad's womanizing ways, but then he meets some woman and suddenly he's all about "temptation this" and "desire that". Make up your mind, dude! And don't even get me started on the supporting cast - they're about as deep as a puddle.
I was expecting some serious introspection, maybe some cool spiritual insights, but nope. Just Akemitsu angsting around and making poor life choices. By episode 8, I was skipping through scenes just to get to…

Ok guys this one is good. If you liked Girlfriend Girlfriend(Kanojo mo Kanojo) or 100 Girlfriends who really love you, you will most likely like this one too. For some reason it has a 6.7 on Mal. But I would put it higher for sure. Ya its an ecchi but that takes a back seat to the plot and the romance. The romance between almost all of the characters feels genuine. Also this anime had some real funny moments, watch the first episode to see, that comedy level never drops from the first episode. It felt like the writers really took time to make the love interest work with the main character. The plot is good and the love triangle is really well thought out. For a rom-com lover myself it hit all the boxes for me. 8/10

Tenpuru was a pleasant surprise for me.
I admit that my expectations were not very high when I started. In recent years, the harem genre has not surprised me much, as it seems that the authors are doing their best to give their least effort (it's ironic, but it is true).
Here, however, I found a very funny anime. I loved the way the author develops the personality of each of the characters. Unlike other anime of the same genre, such as The Café Terrace and Its Goddesses, where the personality of each of the girls does not fully exploit, here everything works well.
Each character has a past, illusions, talents, and insecurities that make them unique, and in a few chapters, you will get hooked on each character.
The story is not a big deal, however, I emphasize that, once again, it was s…

I previously read some of the manga, so watching the anime was an enjoyable enough experience. I think I still enjoy the manga more because the art is just so good, while the anime doesn't excel much visually besides a couple scenes. One thing the anime did do better is make me like all of the girls much more. While reading the manga I was strongly on team Mia, but the anime endeared me more to everyone. The voice acting was a big part of that, and speaking of it does take a little bit to get used to VA for Akagami because it's much deeper than you'd expect, but the actual quality is unquestionable.
I don't think the last episode's push for an emotional ending really worked or was earned at all because pretty much all the exposition for it was in the final episode. Even in episode 11 the…

This show follows the MC who has a bad reputation due to his father’s deeds. He despises this along with his own character and travels to a different place where in order to improve himself, however, he ends up in a situation where he is challenged even further.
Plot: 2/5
This anime intensively makes use of fan service and comedy in every episode which completely overrides “significant” plot developments and butchers the main story. By excessive fan service and comedy, I mean unrealistic awkward situations that occur. The events seem completely random at times. There was an attempt to create a romantic atmosphere, however, this was executed poorly through fan-service.
Art/animation: 3/5
The animation is soft and good.
Soundtrack: 3/5
The sound and osts are pretty average.

I'm not even going to add the guilty part of this pleasure XD, this anime gave me some pretty nostalgic whiplash of starting my journey with some harem and romantic comedy, and I greatly enjoyed it. Story wasn't heavy, had some good moments(I need a circle back to Mia's story), and I enjoyed seeing Akagami's journey to the path of enlightenment so he doesn't end up like his father. I was laughing quite a bit with the comedy mixed in with some...interesting moments.
Sound was pretty good voice wise, OP and ED were pretty decent, along with the BGM. I did love seeing Akagami get to know everyone at the temple, and Kagura being the wildcard was quite a surprise to see. Romance buds came through a bit, especially trying to see who's best for our guy(Tskuyo, Yuzuki, Mia, in order for me), and…

I don't usually watch the harem or ecchi genres, but this one caught my eye simply due to the animation, which is the first thing I consider when starting an anime. Studio Gekkou outdid itself with this anime. The character designs in this anime are truly exceptional. If you are someone who enjoys appreciating good animation then I suggest you watch Temple. Overall, Temple isn't great, but it isn't terrible either. Obviously, there are several sexual themes, dirty jokes, and misunderstandings. I feel that this anime does all of these right. It's actually funny and not just, "Hey, look! Boobs!" However, the plot is lacking, which isn't surprising since it's harem/ecchi, so if you're watching for a good story, don't be too hopeful.
Story: 3/10
Animation: 9/10
Comedy: 8/10
Overal: 6/10

Genuinely a good show. Do you like harem/ecchi anime? No? Oh then why the f*ck did you waste your time lol? It's funny but also cliche, light-hearted and a good watch. It's as simple as that. If you gave this a shot because you watched a harem 20 years ago, you probably aren't a fan of the genre and it won't be your show. However, if you are of the many that do enjoy this genre, you're in for another great show. I've never been one to judge anime for their frame rate because if it tells the story well enough, I won't be bothered. But yeah, it saves most of its better frames for those ecchi scenes. It's catering to the crowd its meant for. I hope more are made and that this genre doesn't die out but at the same time I understand those who tire of it... but once again, are you insane? Why ke…

Clasping Penis In Prayer.
Temple or, TenPuru: No One Can Live On Loneliness might have been written off as another harem anime lacking substance, humour and a romance plot that will continue to blue-ball the viewer by others, but the more cultured and enlightened ones amongst us anime degenerates will stop, think and engage our brains before missing out on a manga adaption written by the same person who brought us Grand Blue.
Temple is about college student Akagami who seeks a life without worldly desires such as sex, sex and sex after being traumatised by his father leaving him at a young age so he can “become friends with women all over the world”. After a fatal collision with the love of his life on the street at night, he decides to become a Buddhist temple monk and leave his potent…

I don't know why this doesn't match the synopsis I read.
There are many anime whose plot initially looks promising but doesn't go forward, just like this anime.
After growing up, MC knew that his father's actions were wrong and MC decided to improve himself. Yes that was the initial plot but what happened? Why are you trapped in a temple full of girls? How stupid is the MC in this anime? Or if you don't know why not look for another temple, that's something you should do if you really want to repent.
Basically this is just empty talk from the MC, and as long as I watched until the end, the MC had absolutely no intention of improving himself and wanting to become a monk as the synopsis said.
And the thing I don't like isn't just this bullshit, But I'm also tired of the MC always getting ca…

What a failure of a show this was. After watching Immoral Guild and KamiKatsu I was really looking forward to a bit of guilty pleasure ecchi so you shouldn't have trouble imagining how disappointed I was when we got served up whatever slop this was.
This was supposed to be ecchi, but it was so lame that a normal anime heavy on the fan service would have been more titillating. The girls looked okay but were let down by the animation (except for the stills in the ED), and their personalities were flatter than the paper they were drawn on.
As for the comedy, entire episodes would go by without even eliciting a wry smile from me and more often than not would only get a "heh" out of me, which on the scale of laughs is equal to a meh.
TLDR; this anime was shit and I feel like shit for putting…

Veterans who grew up with the ecchi/harem of the 2000s (or at least recently liked series from that era) will find Temple like you were watching Mahoromatic or Love Hina in your teenage years. And in a generation of fans who are more demanding every day with entertainment - expecting, I don't know, that everything is about society's problems or socio-political criticism - Temple gives a slap to those rabid fans who expect that all demographics (including ecchi) are subordinated to the same type of narrative: Always having a "purpose" that, otherwise, ruins the tranquility of those who consume it by being "uncomfortable."
The problem with Temple is that it doesn't bring with it anything new from what we've already watched from any ecchi/harem. Even ecchi/harem fans could expect new ideas o…

Tenpuru gives off early 2000s ecchi anime vibes and feels like a proper blast from the past with a great harem, awesome fan-service and good old fashioned fun. A must watch for “PLOT” enjoyers and those just looking for a funny anime.
We really don’t get many shows like this anymore. Ecchi harems that don’t take themselves too seriously, blend comedy with fan service and have good characters have become a rarity these days. Back in the day, there were several every season, but as the industry’s shifted towards isekai and fantasy stuff, stories like Tenpuru have been left behind. Luckily, we got a really good one here. I had a blast with this show from start to finish. It’s very simple watch, but the comedy just works for me, which is rare in anime.
I think the characters are very likea…

A Love Hina-like ecchi, rom-com harem that's not that bad? From the illustrator of one of AniManga's most celebrated works? I highly question my doubts.
Yes, you heard me right. From the illustrator of mangaka Kenji Inoue's high-octane, no-holds-barred comedy fest that is Grand Blue (which everyone celebrated both the ongoing manga and anime, and the Summer 2018 anime is certainly one of the best literal Summer sensations of the 2010s) comes Kimitake Yoshioka branching out in September 2018 with his own series: Temple a.k.a TenPuru: No One Can Live on Loneliness, a shameless clone/carbon copy of the harem trend that has been set since famed mangaka Ken Akamatsu's Love Hina's release in October 1998, a full 25 years since. But true to its contemporaries, is it REALLY as bad as the majority…
