ASSMUNCH
MM! is outstanding. It's a terrific series, really. It is an universally aknowledged fact, or it should be. But it is already, since who you are today is not the same as who you were yesterday. Life is Becoming. Nietzsche knew this, Hegel knew this although in a different way since it was finalized somewhere, inscripted in the Spirit. . . and this series, MM! tells you this pretty well. Allow me to explain, commoner! (Citation needed).
The story sure looks lame. A boy has mental problems, on the verge of retardation, and so do his fellow partners. Specifically, this boy here likes it when you kick him in the balls. But as said, he's not the only feller quite on the slow side. For example, his best friend is gay, a classmate of his (exploited for some free fanservice) has been raped and a…

please kill me.
this is so bad i had a mental breakdown at work while watching it because ive never seen something so awful. pathetic MC, terrible character development, the show is the living incarnation of failure. i hope you like DBZ jokes, yeah fucking DBZ jokes, TWICE, 2 different eps! holy moly, like amnesia episodes? WHO DOESNT? GREAT STORY!!!!!!!
the first 4 episodes were serviceable, then you get to episode 5, and oh boy i hope you are fucking ready. This show tries to be funny and fails miserably, and beyond episode 4 any shred meaningful character development is buried withing a mountain of stupid "jokes" that are shown E V E R Y E P I S O D E. SAME FUCKING JOKE, over and over again.....
nice meme
1/10 dont watch this garbage

MM! is the harrowing story of a man plagued by masochism who attempts to overcome his love of pain through the help of a girl two years older who runs a club that grants wishes. Together with this lovely female companion he embarks on an epic quest through the streets of Tokyo in an attempt to cure himself. Along the way he meets a girl who has a severe dislike for men and hits any man who touches her and they fall in love. It both touches your heart and warms your body with its realistic portrayals of masochism, androphobia, and human relationships.
No, I’m just screwing with you. You can only wish for an anime that good when watching this giant pile of mediocre donkey droppings. You may notice how lately I’ve been reviewing romantic comedies in the small hope I’ll find something with a…

Sometimes an anime will get you by its title, such as the long titled ones like "Oreimo" (for short) or like the really short ones like MM!. Now if you ever read the synopsis and have seen the cover of this anime which is Mio in a maid uniform with a bat, then you know that this would be another typical harem genre anime with an annoying tsundere character. However if you stick around you might reconsider that conclusion like me.
Story: 7/10
The excuse plot of this anime is to cure Sado's masochism because it is starting to bother him. Thus he goes to ask his senior Mio for help and her brilliant idea is to torture him until he is cured which if you ask me, IS THE WORST IDEA EVER. The anime is divided by arc in which individual characters have a problem and they are solve by Mio and Sado…

This is my first review, so here goes.
MM! was a great anime. It had romance, tons of comedy and great characters. The main being a masochist, one being completely scared of men and a third thinking she's a god. What hilarity continues.
Story: 8/10
I found the story very fun and entertaining and since I am really into romance, that part of the anime makes it alot better in my eyes. It has great comedy and that is the main reason I really, really enjoyed this anime.
Art: 9/10 I love the art. Really nicely made and I find it really nice looking.
Sound: 9/10
I have no complaints about them. They fit very well and I didn't see anything wrong with them.
Characters: 9/10
I am not a real critic, so I can't really judge them that much. I found the characters fun and entertaining. I love…

~Multilingual review, English & Español: MM!~
Sadomasochism, Comedy and Romance are the keywords for this series. Considering the bad times I had with similar series featuring these same themes, I would actually say this was a show I should have definitely passed, even if everyone tells me that I shouldn't judge a book by its cover I'm not able to don’t give a first impression to something I haven't seen yet, I can't be helped. But since I'm a baka that doesn't learn from his previous errors I started this show anyway. Oh boy I did good...
In my opinion a successful romance doesn't resides only in its girls, since also the guy must be likeable, cool and funny. Many romances just focus on its girls leaving the guy with just a plain, lame and cliché setting, thinking that only the girls ar…

This was one of those anime's where i just stumbled across it on anime freak and was not expecting the madness that it was about to throw at me. this was just Mad, Mad, Mad all the way through and i loved it.
The main reason i liked this anime was the three main characters (Taro Sado, Mio Isurugi and Arashiko Yuno) who all have their, lets say difficulty's in life at school. I love this trio of misfits. the art style of the game is great and so is the sound, especially when there is a dragon ball Z reference in the anime and it just made me relive my childhood.
Now, I'm not saying that this anime is perfect, there are one or two things that I wasn't that keen on. there was a bit of a story, but it didn't feel interesting, it was mostly just scenario after scenario which was enjoyable,…

I watched this entire anime in just a little over a day - it was so cute and entertaining and fun I couldn't stop watching it! The story wasn't really anything special but I didn't care. The characters are what made this anime; the main character's masochism was hilarious and it also had some good drama and excellent comedy. Mio was cute at times but Yuno was by far my favorite character, the most adorable character in any anime I've seen in a long time! It also had nice character development, especially between Toaru and Yuno. The opening and ending themes were also great and extremely catchy!
This series gets a 9 out of 10 and is one of those series I would definitely love to add to my personal collection when I'm able! :)

MM! Was an anime filled with romance, funny scenes, a good story, and some characters with some problems. I swear there wasn't one character without a problem like masochism or sadism. Anyway MM! Was a great anime in my opinion. This revolves around a highschool student named Tarou and he is a hardcore masochist. So one day his friend sends him to the second volunteering club at his school and Tarou explains his problem to the clubs president and she acts nice in the beginning but she breaks character and starts beating Tarou which to him being beaten by a pretty girl feels great to him. So, if you didn't notice she is a sadist and loves to hurt Tarou and she then pledges to rid him of his masochism.

In modern art and all that it's nothing new from what you have seen before, and in all honesty the only way to enjoy this is to keep in mind that this is an anime meant to draw you into reading the Manga...which is more serious and a little messed up...in a funny turning serious way....
However, this is the anime and not the manga, it made me laugh and showed me a slightly different side of the characters, and I freaking loved it.
It was perverse but not in the boobs and panty shots flashed before your eyes every 5 seconds and some how water balloons are thrown at a lolicon girl who is by chance wearing her white gym uniform in a cafeteria filled with milk perverse.
Nope, it's softer. This man is receiving pain and he is enjoying it...and it's funny.
Everyone in this anime is an extremes…

I originally watched the first few episodes around a year ago and instantly dropped it. This was because I just got into the whole romance/harem/comedy genre of animes and I was looking for something more "romance" heavy and more "harem" based in the sense that all the girls wanted the main characters *you know what* right off the bat.
So judging off that idea MM! was a strict no no and I never looked at it again.
However a few days ago, seeing how there is literally NO good romcom/harems that I haven't seen (at least good by my standards) I was like f*ck it, watching MM!.
I was completely blown away. MM! is an amazing series and usually I am too lazy to write reviews (I've only written a handful of reviews for the select few animes that really touched my these past 1-2 years).

Since I mostly watch romance and harem animes, I figured why not give this a try. While reading through the story, I thought it wasn't going to be good. I thought it was one of those echhi anime with a lot of fan service, but then the word "masochist" caught my eye. Then, I didn't know what a masochist was, so I decided to look it up. I was so shocked the male protagonist is a lot like me, since i didn't know that I was a masochist. So I decided to watch the first episode to know if I was going to continue watching the series, I was really shocked, I was impressed and amazed. The art was good, the characters make me so lol. Though in the ending of the first episode, I felt like there was a huge possibility it was to become a yaoi anime. But overall it's an 8 out of 10 for me.

This anime is a decent way to spend time if you're sick in bed all day; I don't mean that as an insult.
Story:
The story's pretty decent for the first few episodes, then it pretty much gets dropped. The show becomes focused on random events between the characters, the final episode coming out of no where completely in terms of plot relevance. On the plus side, it isn't hard to follow, easy to digest, and would be a good choice if you watched an anime that recently blew you away. Treat this show like a Saturday morning cartoon.
Art:
The art is pretty average, but in a good way. The scenery is vibrant, the characters look distinguished, the ecchi is appealing and well censored. Very colorful and eye catching.
Sound:
To be honest I watched this show today and I don't remember anything abou…

This is one of the funniest animes you will come across that isnt like many others. The plot is hilarious and it confidently fullfills its job as being a comedy, harem and romance.
Story 9
If you havnt read the synopsis yet MM! revolves around Taro Sado not your average male lead seeing as he is a masochist ( a person who finds sexual pleasure from feeling pain or humiliation) and your average 2 female leads who both have feelings for Taro. The storyline consist of following these characcters and how their relationships with each other differ while trying to cure Taro of his masochism hehehe. For a harem the story is one that many have come across before, nothing fresh but its the way that they incorporate the story and the backgrounds of each character together that makes this anime one…

Taro is sick in the head. Mio is sick in the head. Yuno is sick in the head. I think you can understand where this leading. Fundamentally, every single character in this anime is sick to the extreme at one dimension of their personality.
MM! is a story about the curing of a closet masochist by a sadist and the resulting shenanigans involving an androphobic, cross dresser, cult leader, prodigious inventor, lolicon etc. etc. It's basically a freak show, a twisted school drama, an exhibition of corrupted youths. But is that good?
Well, overall, the fetish humor had its moments. I especially found it golden when they spoofed another classic of an anime during a pervert battle sequence. I know it's been parodied a hundred times before but I still liked it. And I chuckled when the mom and sist…

At first glance I expected it to be the crappy ecchi comedy of the season, and it pretty much was. Yet, despite the episodic nature and lack of progression I had a lot of hope.
Expectation: 6-7
Episode scores: -,-,-,-, 4, 7, 4, 10, 7, 5, 9, 10
Actual: 5 (Average)
There was many episodes where I was stunned by the romance, and the quality of some of the jokes; I of course have always been a sucker for the pseudo date episodes, and this show played that card heavily. The only time scenes which truly bored me were the handful of long masochistic scenes.
Yes, a lot of the time is spent beating up Sado in cosplay. While a little of this is fine the span of time wasted on these types of scenes was overdoing things. The story revolves around his masochistic personality, but they should of at le…

Believe me. I was skeptical at first. A show about a masochist? Hah! Probably it's just gonna be centered around hundreds of repetitive slapstick jokes. Turns out to be true. But hold on! Mr Masochist here has his own harem? What?! How can a masochist has his own harem when us normal people out here are trying so hard to get one! He's not even that good looking...
Turns out like every male harem lead, all you have to do is be nice and overflowing girls will come after you. Now, this isn't realistic of course because guys like us aren't nice. Chances is if you have your harem right now, its probably because you're loaded with good looks and money. (More towards the money department)

If you're looking for more of the same, then you're in luck. MM!, wittily titled after the protagonists masochism fetish, takes every character design and comedic gag as by the book as possible, for the absolute level of comfort viewing. MM! is enjoyable for what it is, a harem anime centered around a club that helps people, but it doesn't strive to go beyond it's original premise and ultimately that is where it falls short. Note that the numerical value I have awarded this anime with does not mean anywhere near as much as what I've said textually about it.
Story: 5/10

'MM!' is a slapstick comedy about a high school student who's masochist to the core.
Story: 4/10
The story starts with Sado Tarou visiting Volunteer Club #2 to get his masochist nature fixed. He was immediately dubbed "Butarou" (pig bastard), and obviously a poor plan of fixing him through extreme pain was devised, and he gets to enjoy the masochism play everyday. Beyond that, there isn't really a story to this show, but this series is a hardcore slapstick, so a real story isn't needed nor desired. It focuses on the comedy and perversion of the protagonist as he gets into all sorts of strange situations that made 'MM!' a very enjoyable show.
Character: 6/10

There are many animes out there that have perverted characters in them, in fact most do, but animes that focus completely on one characters perversion are few and far between. Most are terrible porn like crap, but some like MM manage to do all that is necessary to be respected in this genre, namely be funny and have good characters.
-Story-
The story follows Tarou who on the surface seems like a normal high school guy but in actual fact he's got a problem, he’s a hard core masochist (he experiences sexual pleasure from pain for those who didn’t know).Trouble is he wants to be normal, so on the advice of a friend he seeks help from a club called the 2nd Voluntary club. Were the leader of the club is a sadistic, egotistic girl who accepts the challenge of ridding Tarou of his masochism…
