After taking a stroll down the alphabetical listings of Crunchyroll, I found myself stumbling upon "Ah My Buddha!!". I thought to myself, "This seems like a comical harem piece from 20-odd years ago worth dusting off!" I wish I had just gone to bed and dreamed of a better show that didn't actual exist. Because after 12 episodes of this dreck, I'm rather upset with my poor decision making.
This Studio Deen adaptation of the manga of the same name had me at least interested to start with. After all, Studio Deen has done well in the past in almost all genres. So, some seinen must be pretty good? WRONG! Allow me to expand upon this, Ikkou is a 16-year old boy who trains at the Buddhist temple run by his grandmother. He is the only male in the ranks of similarly aged Buddhist nuns in training…

Anime such as this are so formulaic, repetitive and predictable to the point you know what they will be about by just reading the categories. It’s as if there is an Echidna out there (the mother of all monsters one, not that rodent) which gives birth to these shows with very similar traits, no matter who the father is. I am willing to place some harems above some others. Ah My Goddess and Love Hina were amongst the first, still pure and untainted by the ridiculousness of all those which plagiarized them later on, with far less quality and badly thought out settings. Well, hello, check out the name and the character attributes and then tell me it ain’t Ah My Goddess with a Love Hina lead. Watching them and their successors clearly shows how much the genre degenerated from romantic comedy wi…

As a noted ecchi connoisseur, I always try to watch old ones that I never got the chance to see rather than wait for the two or three ecchi anime every season and pray they don’t suck. My experience started in the late 2000s with anime like Sora no Otoshimono and later To Love Ru seasons that morphed my obsession with this genre. I never fully experienced all ecchi before the 2010s except for a handful that many consider classics. This eventually led me to come across Amaneide yo randomly, or Ah My Buddha. After it was finished, I can safely say that this is not one that many would consider a classic.
Am I saying this because it’s absolute trash, or does nobody remember it? A little bit in the former and the latter. Almost nobody I know who follows the genre even talks about this in the p…

Fantastic
First of all the story was fantastic, I loved the characters the plot etc.
Believe it or not, aren I'm looking at you you fuck, the anime has deep underlying themes such as religion and taboo, it raises issues such as should
religious institutions be able to able to exert their sexuality on widely accepted people such as women instead of little children?
The plot follows a young buddhist priest in training who has trouble containing his sexuality, and goes through various trials including testing his faith to Buddha with many sinful girls possible corrupting him. Overall the animation quality was fairly decent, for it's time, and the dub cast really brings character to the story.
If you are a fan of ecchi and a riveting story of exorcisms and such then this is the anime for yo…

'Amaenaide yo!!' or 'Ah! My Buddha' could be best described as an anime that sets out to deliver ecchi/harem type entertainment... and fails at it. In a nutshell, it's an ecchi anime with minimal ecchi, lots of plot holes, incoherent script and awful character development.
The story and the setting might look appealing to ecchi watchers, a young monk in a buddhist temple filled with hot nuns? It'll be interesting right? Well it would be but not in this anime. 'Ah! My Buddha' succeeds in screwing up this kind of a setting with tedious, sleep inducing subplots and fillers. In fact this whole anime feels like you're watching a filler that just doesn't seem to fit into anything. The story goes absolutely nowhere and half-way through this nauseating 12 episode series, you feel like you're goi…

Um… This is actually pretty good comparing some of the stuff that I have watched before. This is the idea of harem to a T. Ikkou is pretty much the worthless monk who is actually really perverted. Of course, he ends up in a nun training place. Somehow, that idea becomes the same story as in Love Hina.
The girls are all really hard on poor Ikkou, although I can see why. He’s a complete pervert and yet, in the beginning, he doesn’t really look like he is. As the story keeps going, the more perverted he becomes and so some of this seems a bit forced (Although with women like what are around him, it’s hard not to see why). Chitose and Ikkou have a really big love hate relationship (just like Naru and Kentaro) and all the others have a strange out of control roommates. Chitose is also like an…

When I saw the English title I thought this would be another Ah! My Goddess, but I was wrong.
This is a show about a perverted boy who lives in a temple full of girls training to become nuns. Unfortunately for him, none of them are interested in a romance with him. But soon the nuns-in-training find out that -if Ikkou sees a naked girl (with a good figure) he gets super powers.
And that is as deep as the story gets in this first season. Because everything else is pretty much a random aspect of what a monk and nun must do in their training, with lots of ecchiness and occasional comedy.
I found that most of the situations that the characters are put in are kind of stupid and borderline childish. The characters almost always repeat what another character says, but just in question form as…

Story
6/10
Amaenaideyo is your run of the mill harem anime, with one catch...
The harem consists of 6 (7 in Amaenaideyo Katsu) nuns/monks and one very perverted guy. Don't go into any harem anime expecting a groundbreaking story, cause you will almost never find that. But considering the anime does a decent job of developing the main characters it makes it better than most, though it only seems to spend a smaller time on the other characters. Normally this would hinder an anime but for the most part they all are not that far off from one anime stereotype or another.
Overall, the story could be better, but it would be hindering the reasons to watch the anime, which is for laughs and some fan-service. For this reason, I was a bit more lenient on the score.

"Buddhism turned extreme ... in an erotic way ..."
What happens when you put a monk and a bunch of nuns together in a temple? Performing exorcism all day and night? Not really ... performing perverted, ecchi stuff all day and night? O yeah!
Amaenaide yo! is an anime that can easily get faithful Buddhists ticked and non believers wonder "what the heck" is Buddhism. While this is only half of the story (you need to watch Amaenaide yo!! Katsu!! to get the complete picture to the story), it does serve its purpose quite well as a building block to the sequel.
Story:
The show is very episodic by nature, thus one can watch all the episodes in whichever order one pleases (except for episode 1 and 12) and will still be able to follow the story. Nearly all episodes contain some sort of ecchiness…

This review is written purely for fun (because of the words used to describe it) but it does summarise the show well.
Basically, this show is like ecchi "Power Rangers", each episode features a new enemy beaten in the exactly same way.
The only things that change are: the enemy, setting and the girl who gets her clothes taken off.

----- [ Amaenaideyo! / Amaenaide Yo! ] -----
-[Intro:]-
Amaenaideyo! *Amaenaide Yo!* is the story of a boy named Ikkou that goes on to live with some female buddhist monks to attain spirituality. However, things don't go as expected, and he's often faced with lots of pervertness and ecchiness. The girls have outstanding abilities and Ikkou seems not to have any. However! When he's faced with ecchiness, his other self appears. The latter is extremely powerful, and can vanquish any evil spirit easily. A nice, lively and funny story, but NSFW and family in general.
-[Animation:]-
Nothing great to be said here. Many shots are taken from below, so expect lots of panty shots. Let me rephrase.. Expect LOTS AND LOTS of ecchiness, panties and breast shots! This series is full of ecchiness! In f…
