As a huge fan of Lupin III, I was curious when I was recommended Mouse for having a similar premise: A master thief pulls off daring heists and gets chased around by a dogged inspector? Sounds like my kind of show!
Unfortunately, for all these superficial similarities, Mouse fails to capture the charm of Lupin. Sorata Muon's career as a thief is mostly background dressing for the *real* focus of the show, which is mostly just aimless, meandering fanservice scenes. Now, I have nothing against fanservice in anime (lord knows Lupin III itself had plenty), but that's all about 75% of this series is.
But since the show's so focused on steamy scenes, let's talk about that a bit more. Comparing this show to the series it's clearly aping -Lupin is a suave flirt, a charmer, a genuinely fun guy to…

This is pretty funny for an ecchi anime, I didn't expect to laugh so much watching it and all the girls are 10/10 and the ecchi is epic no cap.
This anime is perfect for coombrains and normies alike, the last few episodes kind of confused me though but in the end I managed to follow it a bit the short episodes can leave you sort of confused you just have to keep watching for it all to make sense but I think that's because I am not very smart rather than the animes fault itself.
I recommend it, truly, this anime is a shining beacon of light in terms of writing for what I thought would be an anime that has nothing but fan service too its name

D.N.Angel rip off. From plot points and character designs to setting choices, the best parts of this show are all stolen. Great for a quick laugh and the poorly executed Ecchi elements. Lieutenant Onizuka and the cops are the best characters in the whole show. The villain is laughable and copy pasted straight from D.N.Angel but somehow ruined in the process. Every scene makes me feel like I'm doing crack, but in the worst way possible. Budget D.N.Angel. The whole theme of the show doesn't make any sense. The show rides of fan service to make up for its lacking story and relies on cheap jokes that aren't even funny. The only funny about this show is how bad it is.

Mouse is so fun!
I watched every episode in one sitting, and, I was thoroughly happy, confused, and, inspired, the entire time I was watching this series.
I love how the show blends experimental surrealism, absurd aspects of life, x-rated humor, into, a strange incoherent adventure about a thief, art teacher, scientist? teacher? The show never fully explains the main characters (mouse) actual occupation; mouse is sorta like... a less serious batman, less devil may care lupine III, spliced with a more, lazy boy genki, less hopeless, Ryoga from Ranma 1/2.
His assistants are hilarious, and, as a stated earlier, a bit, confusing as well.
I guess to sum up the series I’d say, I felt as though that I was like... watching a teenage boys fantasy, the entire time; an incredible, hilariously fun fan…

As I saw the synopsis on a random anime thing on a certain website, I thought, "This is going to be a seinen anime where a thief goes and steals things, and the police are going to try to find him, like Death Note." Boy was I wrong.
Story: 4/10
Here is an anime that is 95% shounen/harem/ecchi about three perverts trying to trying to do what perverts in anime usually want to do, and 5% shounen/action with a fairly uninteresting plot.
Art: 6/10
For a 2003 anime, the art was decent, the action scenes okay, and there was no use of CGI. (though why would there be CGI in a 2003 anime?)
Characters: 3/10
The characters went in through the anime without changing at all. The harem members were the exact same, all perverts. The main character was your average shounen/harem protagonist.
Enjoyme…

So, Mouse... Well, I'll be straight - thank god episodes are only 15 min and there's only 12 of 'em. Otherwise I'd drop this title. But what's in it?
I found it hard to see any consistent story in this anime, there isn't. Just a series of not really related events. Don't event ask about logic or consistency. The most suitable definition of Mouse's plot that I was able to think of is 'plot hole'. Witch kinda makes the title original... In it's own way, heh.
Art is the best part (yeah, art, that a rare best part out there). Not much to say, mediocre for it's time. Maybe a little bad, but not very.
Sound is... Ough. Weeell, opening has been slightly scaring me till the end. Imagine silent scene and sudden yell 'Mouse! Chu! Mouse!' Damn it. After last episode I couldn't remember any BGM, a…

Overview:
One of the strangest tales in all of the anime industry is the story of a writer named Katsuhiko Takayama. This guy has written for dozens of series ranging from at least 1 universally acclaimed masterpiece to several of the most despised anime ever conceived! He was 1 of the 4 script writers for Fullmetal Alchemist, but he also single-handedly wrote Boku no Pico! He has also written garbage like Triage X and Mirai Nikki, which is extremely popular despite my personal hatred for it. I guarantee that if you are an anime fan, you have seen SOMETHING that this man worked on! Today I am reviewing what is probably his most obscure series, even though it is also one of his worst! Considering that I am talking about the man who wrote Boku no Pico, that is REALLY saying something!
A sm…

Mouse is a harem ecchi revolving around a phantom thief. How you react to that description will largely determine your enjoyment of the series.
Story: Short episodes so things move a bit too rapidly at times. Arcs are also short, 3 eps or less. Does a good job mixing tropes from all three genres it's a part of. It's wild and a lot of fun, but the short length means there is less depth in the construction.
Art: The OP gives off a strong vibe of old-school Bond. Cool in its own right, and that sets the tone of the series nicely. Artwork does seem more at home in the 90s than 2003, but that isn't such a bad thing. It works well for the story being told. The fan service is good quality, and all the girls are pleasing to the eye. As is Mouse himself. It's an ecchi that's kind of important.…

(First review yay!) Okay so Mouse, at first, seems like a cool concept with your main character Sorata Muon and his three assistants who take on steals that would seem impossible to most people. You'd be suprised at how good they are, however what really kills the enjoyment of this series for me is the fanservice. Now don't get me wrong here I don't mind having fanservice in an anime however I start to mind when the fanservice takes away most of the enjoyment factor out of the show. Think if you were promised a room full of comfy pillows, warm blankets, and a nice hot shower but instead you arrive to find the rooms full of roaches, the pillows are super uncomfertable, the beds are flat as cardboard, and the shower is broken. Whatever enjoyment you may have been promised was never meant to…

Mouse begins with our benevolent hero Sorata stealing an entire museum under the watchful eyes of the police, but gets much more absurd from there. Heavy on the man-rape humor, “Mouse” is surrounded by a bountifully breasted, cat suited trio of live-in assistants–yet frequently protests their blatant sexual advances to “send their master to paradise”.
The extreme amount of fanservice wasn’t a problem, as I do enjoy the occasional ecchi anime. However, the production value is amateurish and low budget for having debuted in 2003, appearing on par with anime of the 80’s. The girls have large eyes that occasionally look cross-eyed, which when combined with often outlandish costumes makes them unappealing.
Also, expect some horrible puns. In the squeaky opening theme song “Mouse Chuu Mouse”,…

This show was most definitely not what I was expecting. I thought that it was going to be showing a master thief stealing things, but god was I wrong. This show is all about fan-service, and that's it.
Ok, I'm lying about that being what it's all about. There is a slight story to it, and the characters are decently developed (no pun intended). At times you can feel some suspense, but it's mainly wondering what the three are going to do to Mouse next.
All in all, it's a decent show, but not worth me watching it a second time. And if it wasn't for the hentai that surprised me by being in it within the first few minutes, I'd probably pawn it to try to get some of my money back.
(That rating on the box saying that it's for those 13 and up is complete bull.)

what can be said about this anime. well the anime itself was pretty funny. a master thief with 3 hot assistants, what's wrong with that. the story was lacking. because the anime is so short they really developed the characters. how ever you did get some background on the characters. the sound of this anime was pretty good. the story could have gone a little bit farther. the anime itself is hilarious.

...Okay I was so disapointed by this anime that I almost kicked myself for having watched it. Episodes were short.
Story- Well the story was kind of unique I mean I was drawn to it because I thought the story would be unique alas you are in for disappointment if you plan to watch this anime thinking it will completely sync with the whole mysterious master thief plot. This anime was more about bouncing boobs and having relations with the opposite sex than it was about cleverly stealing expensive objects in my opinion.
Art- It was okay it could've been better in my opinion but then again judge not lest ye be judged.
Sound- Okay I did not like the sounds in this series I hated both the opening and closing and the "dramatic" music scenes did not do anything to spark up my interest. Voice actin…
