This didn't do much for me. The 3 main female characters feel rather generic and shallow. Most episodes involve Lime, Cherry, and Bloodberrry fawning over the protagonist, Otaru, who is an unremarkable anime boy. I did really like the 3 enemy girls, especially Tiger. They do flesh out Tiger's character a bit more than the other girls, which I appreciated. Still, I found myself wishing the villains had more screen time. I also liked the idea of a future setting where all females are robots, but overall I thought this series felt weak. Maybe check out Tenchi Muyo instead. Screw Flanders Screw Flanders Screw Flanders

Ah, the infamous. Back when this came out, it started so many flame wars, that it might have gotten outlawed in some countries. You either hated it, and slagged it mercilessly. Or loved it, and praised it beyond all other animes. As in all things, the truth lies somewhere in the middle. The art work is kind of different. It turned many people off but I thought it was at least a little imaginative. The animation was about average for the era. Meaning it could look really good one second, then like complete shit the next. The story and the characters are, well, odd. This isn't meant to be taken seriously, but sometimes it seems to be weird just for weirdness' sake. The VAs could be over the top. But that was the trope for this genre back in the day. I am sure the director was just following…

I heard about this anime way back when I was in high school, but I was never able to check it out until about a week ago. And well, I must say I don't regret watching this anime. I really enjoyed it. Story: A boy named Otaru Mamiya awakens three marionettes called Lime, Cherry, and Blood Berry, who are all different from other marionettes on Terra 2. What makes them different from all the other female robots/androids? Well, Lime, Cherry, and Bloodberry have this thing called a Maiden Circuit, which acts like their heart. And that means they get to experience emotions. Basically, this story is about Otaru's daily life with the three mechanical girls and of course throw in a plot about an evil ruler from a German-inspired country/kingdom that wants to conquer Japaness (Otaru's Japanese insp…

Man you gotta stick with this until the end. It's a harem definitely for the most part, but even if that's not your thing, the ending is a straight 10/10 and worth waiting for

Man~ it sure is good to re-watch some old anime sometimes, too much 720p-1080p is bad for your health (hehe). Specially if its Sci-fi, Comedy and Romance... well the action is not bad either. Story: The story revolves around Otaru Mamiya and his three Marionettes named Lime, Cherry and Bloodberry, but they are not just an ordinary ordinary marionettes, they have a system called "Maiden Circuit" that act like the source of their emotion thats why they can laugh and cry. A futuristic setting in a planet named Terra - II in the country of Japones where there are no female and all male are born from cloning. Female was replaced by Female machine called Marionettes. Thus begin their wacky adventure under one roof. The gags are old but still funny specially when the punchline is hanagata. The s…

If you're looking for a fun oldie full of comedy, action, romance, and sci-fi, then this might be the series for you, especially if you aren't too picky about the quality. I found this series by pressing the “random anime series” button on a website, and honestly I'm glad I did. The premise of the series is that sometime in the future, a group of 6 explorers made an emergency crash onto the Planet of Terra. There was the inconvenient problem that they landed without any females. Rather than wither off on this distant planet, the six decided to make clones of themselves, and thus repopulated the planet, but without females. The compensation for the lack of females is the development of female-appearing robots called marionettes, who can function like a human, but can't experience feelings…

Imagine yourself being a man (if you aren't) and living in a planet full of other dudes... i mean ... NO REAL WOMAN !!!! This would sond like a gay anime, but it is not !!! Because of this premise it is rather natural that men end up coupling with others... i mean... other men. So the anime starts with Otaru (the protagonist) finding himself not interested at all in other men, and get interested in human female androids. But these are merely machines , that has no "heart" and only serves his master at his command. The show then develops in one of the most famous themes around the clock *** ROBOT WITH FEELINGS *** , as Otaru ends up with not only one female android that has feelings, but with three at the sametime, with different personalities and an inexplicable love for otaru... thus…

Saber Marionette J can be described as a Sci-Fi-Harem-Comedy that is basically light-hearted with a bit of action thrown in. The story is about Otaru, three female androids called Marionettes, and there struggles to cope in a world without actual women. It came to be this way because of an accident on a colonization ship that left six men alive on the surface, and they use genetics to populate the planet of Terra II. The direct clones of the six survivors rule the six nations that exist on the planet, Otaru being from Japoness which looks like feudal Japan. Otaru tries to grow the personality of the three Marionettes throughout the series while having to deal with Gartland's (Germany during World War II) ruler Faust and his own set of three Marionettes. The story is alright if you don't…
