Even though it's a decent anime, I wouldn't recommend it.
Let's understand why... As I said, the anime it's decent, the characters development, the animation, the daily life story are decent. But, the turn of events just ruined everything.
You know when something it's building towards something and out of nowhere just, change everything and leaves you with a poker face.
The anime itself it's enjoyable, even more if you read this review first and don't expect anything from the anime. If you want to watch, keep that in mind. But if you don't, you didn't lost much.
I don't recommend.

Honestly, I went into this anime with some pretty high hopes, but in the end, I was left feeling pretty let down. Maybe I was a bit too generous with the score I ended up giving it, but hey, that's just me.
The storyline mostly centers around the usual school life stuff, but with a few quirky twists thrown in. Things seem to be going smoothly for the male lead, who's engaged to a girl, until the final episode comes along and totally drops the ball. It felt incredibly unsatisfying, and I think that's a big part of why I wound up disappointed with the whole thing. It started out strong, building up to something intriguing, but then it all fell apart, leaving us right back where we started with the same old tired drama.
The animation was okay, nothing to write home about. And the music didn…

it was a decent anime until minato ruined it. the fact that he chose his sister is stupid. he didnt do anything wrong and yet he was in the wrong. the ending is so disappointing i cant believe that i spent hours of my summer vacation watching this absolute garbage. watching this was like watching a series and you wait months for the ending and it being a rick roll. for those who are considering watching this anime i wont tell you not to. this is honestly the worst anime i have ever seen watching this anime was lethal wait no atrocious

This might be the worst anime I've ever seen. It's either this or Yosuga No Sora, but at least that had a plot that somewhat made sense. There's so much bullshit going on yet hardly any of it ever gets explained.
The main issue I have with this show is that I feel like it's constantly hinting at some big plot twist or revelation that completely changes the plot, but that moment just never really comes. So the main guy's father is like some secret agent guy who saved this rich guy who then tried to force his daughter to marry the main guy. Apart from one scene where they don't even really talk to each other you don't even see the two fathers together. When did they even get a chance to talk about this bullshit? The secret agent stuff is only there to give a reason for Yuuhi…

Akaneiro ni Somaru Saka (2008)
Story
An unexpected meeting with a girl, an unexpected engagement and living together is the gist. It is a form of Harem that has a bit more refined in that the girls are not all immediately over the guy with crazy actions of love, but they are more a group of friends that show interest and respect each other for the most part vibe. Depending on whether it is the game, Manga or Anime they have different endings. Some vary between the sister being blood-related and some not so that changes endings around. There is a bit of a Yosuga no Sora vibe in the solitude they have which presses actions in the anime. At one point it is a comedy romance and suddenly it goes super serious with the odd things in the background happening too. Main point that starts the show…

Akane iro ni somaru saka is an harem visual novel based anime. I like this kind of animations, but if you don't like them or you're looking for a good anime, this is not what are you looking for.
Let's see:
Story (4/10):
The plot is random and it's not deep at all. The side story about the protagonist's parents makes no sense, it's an attempt to make deeper the plot, but is just filler.
However, for an harem anime, it's ok.
Art (6/10):
This anime was released in 2008, the art is fine for that time. Sound (6/10):
The OST is also ok for that time, it's not a masterpiece but it's fine.
Character (4/10):
My personal disappointment about this series is the character development, especially the Yuuhi Katagiri's development. In the first episodes, Yuuhi was ok. She was a good character, nice l…

Welcome to Robert's Too Late Reviews! Today's title is very interesting in that it is pretty much a cliched stomp through the familiar grounds of romantic comedy and harem sameness, but it is charming enough on its own to warrant a look, I believe. This isn't top shelf stuff, but sometimes that's okay. Very serviceable, even if somewhat predictable at times. Let's see if we will let this one on the RTLR wall, or if we will have it dead!
Story: 6
As I said, the story isn't anything to write home about. The synopsis does a good job covering what is going on. The rich girl is rescued from some thugs by a gentle, but powerful guy. Before she has time to thank him, he walks off with a wave, leaving her with nothing but the nickname the bullies said when seeing him, "Genokiller". She transfers…

Nagase Junichi, a gentle student, however, is reputed to be a killer, he is the victim of rumors spread by his friends, but fate preached a play to him: a beautiful girl was in danger, Nagase saved her from the men who were on top of her, and she felt a special feeling for him at that hour. Over time, their relationship turns into a typical love triangle whose storyline is very different from the manga.
In short: Anime medium, main characters immobile, secondary almost null throughout the plot. The story has remained firm in the proposal until the end, which saves this anime.

"I'm sorry Japan but you've gone one step too far this is it I'm doing it." -President Harry S. Truman in 1945 after hearing Japan had released Akaneiro.
Akaneiro ni Somaru Saka, or Akane as it shall hence be known, is everything that is wrong with anime. A bland and boring cast and plot, combined with a stupid ending makes for a show that will either make you wish you had yor time back, or that you could remove the rest of your remaining time and end it all. So let's dive into this dumpsterfire of a show.
Story- 3
Spoilers inbound.
So our main character Junichi meets this rich young mistress called Yuuhi who due to WaCkY cIrCuMsTaNcEs ends up living with him after he creates a misunderstand with her ruining their relations. After another 9 episodes of filler which contain nothing either…

First off, I liked it. I'm going to keep this short, as others are pretty thorough, yet when I read reviews I end up moving on after a paragraph. I'm going to point out what I would have wanted to know before starting.
Second, it's a love story. It's a romance/comedy anime. By comedy, what I really mean is it doesn't have a super serious tone.
Third, it's not *really* a Harem anime, at least not in my eyes. It's a love triangle story. They do add a couple token love interests, but they don't *actually* add them, if that makes sense. If you're a Harem disciple, you won't be getting 4-5 girls courting some lucky bastard. You're getting two girls in love with the same guy, which is often (mis)labeled as "Harem". Not really Echii either.
That isn't to say it was bad, I certainly liked it,…

When i started to watch it, it was ok and somehow enjoyable but after 6th episode it became totally dreadful
First i thought about dropping it but than i thought maybe story will be different in next few episodes but it was totally a piece of crap
I mean what the hell was writer thinking when he wrote this shit, it's not a romantic story but the one of the worst anime story i ever watched
The story was awful and somehow it made me remember many other anime which have almost the same story
So i don't think, it's something that I'm gonna watch again in my life, not even going to suggest anyone yo watch.

I finished this anime a few weeks ago. In all honesty, I believe this is not a bad anime. But is not good as well. Its more on the line of confusing more than all things. There are small things I liked about it. Mainly fanservice and what they did that almost made me very satisfied that I watched it. It reminds me of Oreimo. "It had a lot of potential but didn't go where it needed to be." I will always remember this anime for how confusing it is. I believe its not all about is it good of bad cause all anime no matter what have good and bad things in it depending on hoe much the weigh against each other.

this warning review may contain spoilers.
First impressions, so another anime based off a hentai game. I really need to watch something different I guess?
Story, 5/10
ladies and gentlemen of all ages I welcome you to generic rom-com anime number nine thousand five hundred twenty two.
The story starts out with this fish girl named yuuhi who is saved by are main character junichi from a group of teenage thugs. Later on he finds out this girl who he hand saved had transferred into his school and that this girl is actually his bride to be who will be living with him,
But the twist is they don't really like one each other and both of them aren't a big fan of getting married by force.
So I thought was an interesting idea especially because it's coming from a generic visual novel anime ada…

Junichi is a high school student living with his sister when suddenly a girl barges into their lives, claiming that Junichi will be her fiance. Though it sounds just like a more forceful version of Da Capo SS, the difference is that the little princess this time is actually cute and has a real chance at winning the main character's heart.
ASS (quite a loaded abbreviation) is a light, comedic harem based around ordinary school life and the after school adventures of a group. I originally picked this up due to the incredibly strong list of Seiyuu and they definitely deliver.
Overall, this is a fairly average harem. A good watch for its length if you've got nothing better to do.
Animation:
The animation is crisp and clean, definitely up to 2008 standards. The characters are drawn very nice…

Coming into this show, I wasn't sure what to expect. The characters seem like any other from a harem. You have the sometimes self-aware, but mostly dense main character, two love interests, one being the tsundere, and the other being the kind, caring one, followed by all the side characters that may or may not show romantic interests in the MC. Standard layout, so it should be fairly enjoyable, no? Not really. There are very few shows I have watched where I felt frustrated watching it, let alone having to force myself to continue through most of it. Akaneiro ni Somaru Saka was one such show.
From the get go, there are two characters with the silliest hair design I have ever seen. It was to the point that I would be agitated when I saw them just because of how ridiculous their hair was. Ot…

I can't deny that i really enjoyed and laughed a lot while watching the Anime at the first episodes, and it's really nice that we have a boy loves a girl.. but it's so fuckin stupid for me to find out that the boy turned to loving his sister in a romantic way, ruined my mood!
So DON'T WATCH THIS SHIT! waste of time!

Well, this is officially my first review, so please bear with me.
Story: 6/10
I liked the way the story progresses for the most part, it was exciting to see what would happen next and how the relationships develop. You get to see how the main character is dealing with an uneasy situation at home all while all his friends seem to be prying in on his private life no matter how hard he tries to keep it to himself. Pretty standard slice of life stuff, just seeing how everyone interacts with each other on a daily basis. My only quarrel with this show is that it stops after one season and the story is really inconclusive at the end. I'll try not to go into too much detail, but the MC is faced with a difficult choice in the end and even after he's made his choice it doesn't seem to have changed…

I've seen lots of romance anime and maybe 1/4 of them lack something, and it's originality. Would I group this anime with that 1/4? Yes I would.
Story: 6/10
The story in the anime is not that original, as I've seen it in lots of anime. Boy has a random encounter into a girl -> Girl transfers into that boy's school, not knowing that the boy was in the same school she was transferring in. -> turns out girl was boy's fiance -> sister gets angry. Something along those lines. The story lacked originality, and another added to that is, it was a bit boring to me. Why did I rate this a 6? Mainly because of the comedy. Though, I don't know how misunderstandings like boy falls onto girl and magically touches her breasts or sees her panties. I've seen that shit too much now, please stop it. The rom…

Well, to begin I'll try to make this as spoiler free as possible. Although my main problem is the ending so I'll probably mention it once. So *spoilers* you've been warned.
Story: 7/10
The story is about our stock character protaginist (for those who don't know it's means a character usually the main one who has no defining qualities) saving a girl from being mugged. Afterwords he misinterpretes said relationship as one in romantic nature which she doesn't like, causing her to go (adorable) tsundere. Later they find out their parents are actually set up an arranged marriage between them. Me being a lover of cheesy romcoms with unique (or not so unique. I think I've seen a couple other anime with the same arranged marriage things though for non-comedy this is probably the best.) twists I t…

Not exactly, but it's not much better than that series. Akane Iro ni Somaru Saka is yet another visual novel anime in a sea of recent visual novel anime that have all become the rage in Japan as of late. But how does it fare against most others of its type? Not very well, honestly. Despite cute character designs, a decent cast of actors and actresses, and a few humorous bits here and there, most of the series spends 12 episodes saying things it could have said in half that.
Part of this is responsible by a single character: Yuuhi. If tsundere was an actual part of the English dictionary, you would probably find a picture of her there (along with nearly every other role done by her actress, Rie Kugimiya). Frankly, I'm sick of romance series plagued with these kinds of heroines, as these ch…
