Introduction
Succubi, like the young princess Astarotte "Lotte" Ygvar, require the life seed from men to survive, replenish their magic, and continue the royal lineage of the magical realm. This means succubi are required to keep a harem of men close at hand. Ironically, Lotte despises men, which will put her life at risk once she matures. To convince her to fulfill her duties, one of her attendants, Judith Snorrevik, goes to the human realm to find a human male whom Lotte can tolerate.
Judith returns with 23-year-old Naoya Touhara, a single father who unfortunately leaves his daughter, Asuha, behind in the human realm. As the first member of Lotte's harem, Naoya quickly adapts to this new environment, serving the princess to make her happy, rather than viewing her with sexual intent. Unfortunately, when his daughter is allowed to arrive in the magical realm, Naoya's relationship quickly worsens with Lotte. Even so, he strives to patch up their relationship.
It soon becomes clear, however, that Naoya's presence in the magical realm is more than just mere coincidence. As he develops his bond with Lotte, fate begins to pull together the connections that tie him and everyone else within this enchanting world.

When watching anime it's best to keep an open mind. The storytelling tells you all you need to know about the smallest details and decisions that others may not consider.
Stay neutral whenever isues of morality gets involved and attempt to understand it from all perspectives.
1. Storyline - start to finish
2. Characters and information - how the characters are involved and how the information and backgrounds are explained.
3. Moral indicators that separate from basic right or wrong.
It's easy to say good vs bad, right vs wrong, red vs blue, black and white. But the fact is humans can do disgusting things as happen and it's human nature.
But this is different, seems like it's attempting to justify the morally difficult choices of one's true nature.
This shouldnt be justified it's j…

Astarotte no Omocha! (Lotte's Toy) is one of those rare anime that perfectly blends fantasy world-building, heartfelt character growth, and just the right dose of cheeky, unapologetic ecchi humor. At its core, it's the story of Astarotte "Lotte" Ygvar, a young succubus princess in a magical realm who must confront her deep-seated hatred of men as she approaches the age where her biology demands she starts forming a harem of her own (succubus, remember?).
The writing is smarter than it has any right to be. Lotte’s trauma and gradual trust in the MC actually land emotionally, the side characters are hilarious without being one-note, and the Norse-inspired world-building is just creative, there's no other word for it. The animation is colorful and expressive, and every gag hits exactly where…

A pedophilic show, dressing as a romantic comedy. The reason is clear if you see Rie Kugimiya in the voice acting cast; she is voicing nothing else but loli tsunderes in romcoms. And it’s not like the similarities end just with her name; the entire show is basically a rehash of the anime she gained her fame in the past. “Meek boy summoned to a magic world to serve as butler a rich spoiled loli tsundere” is basically a fusion of Familiar of Zero with Hayate no Gotoku. And just like those aforementioned anime, Astarotte no Omocha has very little plot and lots n’ lots of jail-bait. To be completely honest, this anime is far better than the other two, no matter if you hate or like such shows. If you hate them, it lasts only 12 episodes thus your suffering ends much faster. If you love them, it…

The biggest disapointment with this show is the synopsis, with is very misleading to the point of false advertising. If after reading the provided summary you were expecting to appease some loli-bukake fetish you fallen into the trap as well. I'll put it this way; There's more hot action in the Disney animated movie "Peter Pan", from the '40s. This show would be much better received if the script writers had changed the few references to the collection of "the life seed from men" to instead perhaps something akin to marriage, and covered the handful of bare bottoms a bit more than they already have been, then the show could have dropped the ecchi pretense completely and attracted a much wider audience, and likely much better sales.
The story that actually is here (had it been presented m…

I'm going to make this short so we can all move on with our day.
The show isn't that bad, but more uncomfortable than anything. The story isn't a main priority in this show and relies more on the fan service and characters to keep it afloat WHICH ISN'T ALWAYS BAD IN ANIME! The characters though I FEEL didn't grow as well beyond Astarotte and arguably Naoya. As a result most of the other characters are just there to fill some kinda role. This could be anything from cutesy, comedic (most of the time), or just straight fan service. The music wasn't anything to right home about. It did it's job and just added to the feel of the show, but no tracks really stood out for me. The OP and ED I skipped everything so take that as you will. The animation and art style in this show is probably it's bes…

Oh boy, I've got some explaining to do, don't I?
So to start off, this Anime is by far the most endearing, heartwarming, and genuine Anime I have seen to date. The biggest appeal to me is certainly the connection between the two main characters: a girl who has nothing going for her in life, and a guy who comes in and turns it all around for her. Personally, I'm a sucker for restorative aspects in stories like this. Add in a bunch of hilarious supporting characters, simple yet beautiful music, and a finale arc that almost broke my heart, and you have an amazing experience, almost tailored to what I like to see in anime.
Now, I'll address the elephant in the room, which are the reasons why I could reasonably see someone turned off by this anime. From the age gap of the romantic pair, to th…

The only way I'm even able to go through watching this is because I'm watching it with my friends. I literally made an account just to talk about how much I hate this anime. It may look like a fun happy cutesy story somebody can watch and have a pretty good time. But really its just boring, disgusting, and is basically pedophilia. The only way you can enjoy this is if you basically ignore the fact that this anime is about some twenty-year-old guy (who for some reason has a female voice actor?) who basically has to get it with a bunch of little girls. It also has some other dude who falls in love with the protagonist (who is a little girl) and he's much older than she is. There's a whole bunch of other examples I could put out here to prove how disgusting this anime is but I think I've prov…

If you've gotten further than the description of this show, you're probably wondering how low of a MAL rating you're willing to tough out for 12 episodes of loli fanservice. If it's fanservice you're looking for, you're in luck, because there's tons of it. Unfortunately, besides the plethora of pantie shots, skirt lifts, ridiculous outfits designed to facilitate these things, and brief moments of semi-nudity, there's little else worth mentioning about this show except how bad it is.
There are some shows that take a ludicrous premise and make it work - where they could have just gone with predictably lewd, they surprise with at least a modicum of character depth or stories that consist of more than just an excuse to see the characters wearing (or not) various outfits in a variety of ridic…

I really was enjoying this anime for the idea it has from the episodes 1 to 6 with the fatherly love that may seem is there, but i was dissapointed half way through because things are not like that, wanting to put together a 10 year old girl with a 23 year old guy, but to make the things less uncomfortable in their eyes they made the main dude Naoya look like a 15 y/o boy and to top that he was ''raped'' (as seen in the OVA) by Lotte's mother the queen Marcelida when he was a kid and they had a baby named Asuha, who in fact is Lotte's elder half sister.
It's never explained why…

This is the first review I've written, so just a little disclaimer about how I review things.
I'm a pretty generous reviewer. So this might just be a 10/10 out of nowhere.
Also, some anime's that people don't necessarily think as great shows, well... I do. For some reason, certain shows that people sort of hate, I really enjoy. And just letting it out right now, this show was so awesome. :~)
Shit man. this is one of the greatest rom com thingy shows i've seen. after getting back into anime for having not watched any for a long period of time, this show turned me into an emotional little girl for a little bit. true, there are some sort of incestuous themes kinda going through. Sort of? Yeah. But that doesn't ruin the show whatsoever. Holy shit man, this show is so cute. It might just be…

*Astarotte no Omocha!* (This is anime is intended for older audiences, watch with caution!)
Story: 9 (Great)
Naoya Tohara is the first male to be brought into sucubuss, Princess Lotte's harem. As Lotte is close to becoming and adult succumbs, she needs a male so she can drink his man gravy. I wish I was kidding. If you plan on watching this, I hope your memory is very selective if you don't want to feel dirtier than you did before with a couple facts involiving this anime.
First: Princess Lotte is 10 years old, and looks her age, if not younger. She is the princess of Ygvarland and as I mentioned earlier, a sucubuss to be. Demanding a human to come to her land (as she is a fairy of some sort, in another realm).
Now for our male lead, Noaya, is a 23 year old man, who looks slightly bit yo…

I love this anime to be honest it very entertaining, and it has some moments that are funny but i don't think its perfect because..how old is the blond girl in it as old as his daughter? Also the guy in it looks like hes 10 in the beginning I thought he was her older brother. I mean he might be, but anyway forgot that lets talk about whats good I think the color and how they designed the characters was very creative I enjoyed that part and I definitely recommend this anime. I like watching it on http://www.crunchyroll.com/astarottes-toy what site do you watch yours on?
Please reply and tell me what YOU think and this is only my second review so please don't hate mine because I know its not great but I honestly tried my best last time somebody said it was too short so I'm trying to make it…

This Anime certainly surprised me. At first i thought it was gonna be bad and its starts out pretty terrible but as i continued to watch it i really enjoyed it. The good thing about this anime is that they did an amazing job with the romance it wasn't right away but it didn't take way too long either. I was pretty attached to the characters and the episodes ended with me really feeling the emotions of the characters. Like in between episodes id think about it all day and be insanely curious to what was gonna happen next. Although I liked this anime there was some bad moments. The back stories could have used some work and some really weird things that i thought were not needed. I really enjoyed this anime so i hope you read this and can enjoy it too.

First of this anime contains a lolicon theme. So if your very sensitive to child-adult relatioinships then its best you let it slide. But despite the male being older than he looks might let you forgive and forget. I had watched this anime and yes the lolicon did shock me a little. But I always pretended that the male protagonist is younger at age (idk) 15. Its about a succubus who has to create a harem to live. Its very sexual and the jokes are used a lot in the subject matter. it is funny if you are willing to accept it. It is short and sometimes abruptly rushed and questions are needed. But for anime its not too bad. The animation is good and the music is great. The ending song is a personal favorite of mine. The ending actually is somewhat promising. Its charming and again if your will…

Unless you are a very young child, I don't think you'll like this anime that much. Sure, a bit of ecchi in it, but the "I don't give a shit what happens to these people" just overwhelms you.
The characters and story aren't that well developed and I just wanted to finish watching this one as fast as possible just to get rid of it from my life.
It did manage to entertain me somewhat though, but not until like 4 episodes in, until then I just wanted to kill myself. I just think I'm too old for this kind of boring anime.

There is a reason why I decide to try out shows each season without reading the synopsis. One, is because I am somewhat of a completionist and don't care but two it could ruin something. So it is often hard to appreciate anything in this show because the synopsis does just that, and basically summarizes all the bad points in this show. The first episode would seem to confirm that this is indeed the case too. I was sort of taken aback by the plot.
However, when Naoya finally arrives in the world of demons in episode two the story changes completely. Hired to be her harem member, Naoya becomes a father like figure to the young princess. As Lotte deals with making friends, meeting her busy mother, and anything else that could happen to a 10 year old girl Naoya is there to help. Now I will ad…

Astarotte no Omocha (which will be referred to now on as "Lotte's Toy") is, for the most part, a romantic comedy with ecchi and loli elements. The series initially gets some opposition for the backdrop of the story, and I'm here to tell you that initial expectations are probably wrong...at least at first.
The plot revolves around Princess Astarotte (Lotte) who has turned 10 years old, and as a succubus, has to consume the life seed (semen) of males in order to live. The issue is that Lotte hates men and it is up to our male lead (Naoya) to help change the princess's feelings. To be clear, I have to point out that no sexual acts take place in this show. While there are some that are hinted at, it is never involving a loli either. While the engine for the plot is questionable at best, the…

Astarotte no Omocha! (or "Astarotte's Toy!" in English), is a harem, ecchi, comedy series that follows the escapades of Astarotte Ygvar, a ten year old succubus princess who is under the conviction of forming a man-harem, in order to guzzle "man juice" so as to preserve her youth and beauty. With the clear direction established, the series becomes a collection of episodic antics involving young , tsundere Astarotte and her boy-toys, all aiming towards the token "hunk of the week" and a hearty showering of baby butter to top it [and her] all off.
Have you got all that? Good. Now forget everything I just told you, because this series has -next to nothing to do with any of that-. Sadly, a large sum of people that read the plot synopsis are going to think that this series is all about a ten y…

Astarotte no Omocha! is pretty much what I call "filler anime of the season." In other words, an anime you will find easy to forget and probably never watch again.
Characters: Average to poor. Typical stuff you'd find in other animes like the big boobed girl, the little girl who's older than she looks that's very very very little, your moe characters, the tsundere, etc. Yeah pretty much average, typical (some times boring characters). I didn't really find any character interesting at all.
Story: Average to poor. Story? I think that the majority of the series was used to show up new characters that really didn't do much for protagonists. Sometimes it moves slow, some times fast and some times at a different pace, geez can we get a decent pace, that way I'm not wondering "hey where the he…

I don't know what made me watch this show. I really shouldn't have. I could think of a hundred much better ways of spending 288 minutes of my life (at least one of which would be thinking of 99 other ways), other than watching this awful pedophilia-themed snore-inducing train wreck of a show. Some spoilers to follow, should you care.

You see that summary up at the top of the page? That's the entire plot. There is no development at all besides what is in that paragraph. Naoya, the 23 year old guy who looks like he's about 14 and is voiced by a girl, is taken from his world to be employed as a member of a 10-year old girl's harem so that she can drink his sperm every day. She hates men and is Rie Kugimiya. They pretend to have a plot near the end where the portal to the monster wor…
