Wow…what a strange fetish!
The first time I watched this anime, my rating was much higher. At the time, I was more focused on the "different" premise and ended up overlooking (or simply not noticing) several problems that are now glaringly obvious. Revisiting the work with more attention and a critical eye, it became clear that my initial assessment was quite wrong.
Starting with the technical aspects: the animation is simple. It's not bad, there are no glaring errors or anything that directly bothers you, but it's also far from memorable. It's the kind of production that fulfills the basics without taking risks, without any visually striking moments that really stick in your mind.
The soundtrack follows exactly the same line. The opening, the ending, and the rest of the OST are okay, f…

A blend of 50% battle, 30% drama & mystery and the rest mix of slice of life, jokes and ecchi (with visible nipples). If you like ecchi isekai anime with good story & interesting plot & development then this is for you.
Note that this is not comedy so don't expect many jokes. Instead the jokes are intermezzo and often related to ecchi. This is more of serious battle and story-focused anime with much explaining background individual story.
[The Girls]
The girls are cute and sexy, it is one of the main selling of this anime.
- Yaya is very cute and erotic, always attempt to gain love for the MC and will do many naughty things in order to do that.
- Charlotte is your typical tsundere with big boobs.
- Frey is the funniest character, very clumsy and plain stupid and honest, she also has vo…

Despite my rating, I thoroughly enjoyed this show and would recommend it if you're looking for an easy to watch action, ecchi similar to "black bullet", however, If you're looking for a solid story this is not the show for you. The writer seemed to go off in several directions without ever firmly creating a solid story and I have seen several people complain about this, dropping the show mid way through. It also feels as if the author wanted to add more cute girls to the harem, imagined them, but then realised he needed some plot in order to in fit them in, letting other story elements slip, which is fine with me as I never went in to this for some "from the new world" degree of plot, but something to consider.
In terms of animation its fairly basic, doing what it needs to in order to por…

Well, yeah. The plauge of the "stupidly naive and dense moral-compass protagonist" trope. I mean, when I see this archetype, I already know, I'll feel bad for all of the people around the MC, because they'll suffer a lot while they try to protect the dense protagonist from his own stupidity. I really don't get it why do people glorify recklessness. Not to mention the complete ignorance of the safety of the loved ones. Sadly, if I see these absolutely avoidable situations, I cannot hate the "bad guys", I can only blame the MC for his rush, stuipd, and stubborn decisions. What makes this even worse, if the plot is written in a way, that the MC gets rewarded for his stupidity... Now, this show is the perfect exectution of the trope. Meh...
Other than that a pretty generic shallow story full…

This is either a really bad adaptation or there two authors, the first one being an absolute mastermind and the second one being horrendous writer. Personally, revenge stories will always intrigue me. That's the reason why i started the series in the first place. I searched for above decent series with revenge as plot and finally came across Machine-Doll wa Kizutsukanai. Reviews were good, VAs were known. This one though has been such a waste of time. I feel like my time, expectations were robbed by reviews...
And last of all, if you aren't fond of girls screaming "RAIIISHIIINN" in a high pitched voice then this is probably not for your taste.
Overall 3/10

Unbreakable Machine Doll is a perfectly decent anime. The characters are likable and the story is decent. However, it falls far short of being a great work for the medium. I went into this with high expectations, as this is a Lerche anime and Lerche is my favorite studio. Their animation is always gorgeous and they are responsible for some of my favorite series ever made. However, Unbreakable Machine Doll does not feel up to par with their other series.
First of all, the animation. Lerche usually has some of the best animation in the industry. However, Unbreakable Machine Doll does not meet their usual standard. Most of the time, it looks serviceable. The characters are well-designed and stay on model. It's not a stand-out style or anything, but it's perfectly fine. The issues, however, c…

Overall: 10/10
This is the anime which lead me to create my MAL account. The anime which I can undoubtedly say is my favorite. The anime which was able to capture and warm my heart, holding a special place and creating unforgettable memories.
I have never felt this attached to an anime before, I will always cherish it.
Story: 10/10
The story makes great use of foreshadowing and the deep world-building to create an intriguing atmosphere which kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the entire series. While the general concept of a battle-partner anime isn't particularly unique, the delivery and execution of the the story cause MDK to stand on a pedestal.
There is a hefty amount of action-packed, heartwarming content packed into 12 episodes, and the story continues beyond the end of the a…

I am not really some huge fan of fantasy/ecchi anime in general. Mostly they are plain without any deep story-telling in it.
BUT
Machine-Doll made it to the top anime with these kind of genres on my list. Let's go through my rates, shall we?
Story: 10
Woow, so high? Yeah, so damm high. The thing is, I look at it from not only what I saw but also from general idea behind a story. The past of protagonist and his story was greatly added piece by piece in every possible episode. Yes, you can predict how the story goes if you've watched enough anime but -> this somehow made me curious for next episode and in hope for another story-development. The only thing I didn't like about story is that only 12 episodes were made.
Art: 9
For 7-year anime, art looks pretty standard. I enjoyed the desig…

So I think that if you watched this anime when it first came out in 2013, you would enjoy much more than now, because the animation and the cgi aren't very good and the story is alright.
If you like ecchi animes with some action and a decent/ok plot I'd say u will probably enjoy this. Although I don't think this anime has anything special about it, because the mc is still the usual beta mc who gets pushed around by girls and even risks his life to save them after knowing them for like a day or 2, which to me is stupid and pisses me off.
I think that these types of stories are always better in the light novel format, because it's much easier to skip a scene that u don´t like or simply enjoy the plot more because it's more detailed and well paced than in the anime. Aside from that they usual…

hello, my self Raishin Akabane, i have come here from the far east to learn magic and become wise man - what if i say this, will you believe me? of course not. so here the main reason i am a man who is an idiot and doesn't know his limit and gets involved in every single incident which takes place. (i think this is what i think about MC.)
Well, while watching this anime i felt this anime is kind of a straight forward or i say fast-paced. There is nothing like a normal scene, what i mean by normal is that - that each arc is divided in 4 episode and creator are trying to fit everything in these 4 episodes.
And MC is like - i am injured and some bones are broken but who cares i can go get more broken bones and some more injuries it all can heal all together later. It…

Was very interested in the story and enjoyed the sceens with Yaya and Raishin playing around having fun however... Hated the fact that the festival they kept speaking of never happened I got to episode 10 was was like "where is this festival??" it was frustrating they keep throwing all these characters at you and not even trying to show the actual festival they keep talking of so the last few episodes were rather disappointing because I was expecting a big fight at the festival. Also the art style was OK at times but during the fights the scenes just looked awful the way the automations moved around
Also on episode 3 where Charlotte and Raishin go on a date it would have been nice to see more of there date to be honest felt rather rushed. I do enjoy the humour and the romance throughout th…

An enjoyable and (mostly) unique anime, we follow the adventures of Generic Shonen Protagonist #9736 and his adorable doll-pokemon-wife thing Yaya as she tries to hypnotize him into marrying her. ...Yeah. The anime is remarkably consistent with a pretty indicative opening act - they set up Raishin and Yaya's relationship and motivations pretty effectively and just throw the characters into a variety of situations, with new ones showing up along the way. The tone remains fairly consistent throughout without taking huge and unwarranted departures as many struggle with.
Raishin and Yaya are the clear focus of the show, with some of the side characters falling into obscurity or never really getting developed fully, but Raishin's deadpan snark mixed with Yaya's mix of bubbly affection and ragi…

Welcome to the world of light novel adaptations, where everything needs to be revolving around some boring guy surrounded by hot chicks who want his weenie.
The premise is about a young man who is looking for the killer of his family. In this setting, it is common for scientists to create automatons to control in battles. Thus, after he creates his own death machine, he learns about the whereabouts of the killer and heads to get his revenge.
I made it sound interesting; didn’t I? It’s all about the way you present it and sadly for the audience the premise is ruined by the usual tropes that light novels are filled with. So allow me to rewrite the above; this time on how it is actually presented.
The premise is about a generic shonen lead whose purpose in life is described in one line. In…

Let me get straight to the point, the anime is very dark I mean literally dark, you can't see clearly even if you crank the display brightness to max, it may be a different art but even though the character faces looks bleached out they contain usual cutness.
The story, it's not unique , I have seen many animes with the similar story setting.
Even though the story setting is same as others the anime seems a little different due to unique art style and character design.
You will like it if you're into dere's. The doll is cute, the dogs are somewhat cute and the girl that own them is very cute and that's all to it.

TL;DR: It ain't awful, but I'd skip this unless you REALLY have nothing else to watch.
This anime is one of those hidden gems that no one really talks about! Well, that's what I'd like to say but sadly it's not.
The fights are unsatisfying, the protagonist constantly preaches how he's got the most advanced automaton (humanoid dolls that are used in combat) in the world, yet said automaton AND the guy himself always gets their ass whooped into the hospital in every single fight. They don't land a single satisfying attack on the whole series, and somehow they win some of the fights (most end up unresolved).
They try some comedy in the form of overly jealous and paranoid female characters, and the overused "Raishin you pervert!" that repeats the whole show.
Ecchi scenes are ok, tho there…

Fairly intriguing plot that really gets you hooked towards the end. I found the characters fun and enjoyable.
However ended on the usual "please buy the light novels" cliff hanger with no real closure and clearly no intention to produce a season 2 from the studio. Light novels don't seem to have been officially translated and for sale in English begs the question what was the point in bothering to Dub it ?
Overall
Whilst the anime is mildly entertaining, the fact it seems to spend the majority of its time introducing new plot threads and never really finishes them before ending abruptly is left a bad taste in my mouth. I recommend you save your time and skip this one.

Story (4/10) - In a world where the title of "Wiseman" is the ultimate symbol of superiority and power in using Machineart, a combination of magical and technological properties, brings us to the tale of a puppeteer and his faithful automaton in hopes of claiming vengeance. Aside from the main character's motivations and the magic system, not much else is told. The action-sequences weren't bad, one of the good points of this show. Somehow it has the Ecchi tag, most likely for the sole sake of Yaya's personality. After the first episode, it was hard to come back and finish, and overall felt rushed.
Art (5/10) - The art style was bright and colorful, but that was about it.
Sound (6/10) - The opening song matched the atmosphere and setting well. The ending theme had a more traditional Japan…

A IMP Review of: Unbreakable Machine-Doll (Dubbed edition)
(IMP stands for “In My Prospective”, meaning if someone attempts to correct the way I see the show I have no intention of reading any “corrections”)
Story: When i first saw the concept for this show i was generally excited to watch it and see what happened, the animations looks interesting, the characters weren't hugely special but ok, the setting was in England which when i watched it i hadn't seen done in anime often and everything was lining up for a good watch, BUT of course something went wrong, a few things actually including but not limited to tropes, and the story. 5/10. The story is about a guy who if he finds a guy who did bad things to him or his loved ones, "sigh" wants revenge... I hate shows to make revenge the main…

Unwatchable Machine Doll
I’ve never been more pissed off at Funimation than I was when I watched this show.
WHY WHY WHY did Funimation waste resources on this garbage?
There are no redeeming qualities about it. The story goes nowhere and is ENTIRELY UNFINISHED. The characters are all either completely bland or actively unlikable. Finally, the animation is practically nonexistent, which is a rather gigantic problem for an animated show.
Most of the libraries in my area have this piece of junk, which means it must have been on fire sale to sucker them into wasting funds on it, either that or they were donated, which is still too expensive.
What’s so bad about it? Everything. Let’s start at the top.
Story!

Personally I had started watching with high hopes for this series. however, as a lover of ecchi and uncensored animes, I am now ambivalent towards the show. This is not what I was looking for, but it does have its merits.
Story: 6
The story is broken into three 4-episode arcs, which does affect the overall feel of the story. However the thing that brings it down pertaining to these arcs is that they are very similar. All the arcs follow the same generic storyline, and after watching to the third arc, it gets tedious and repetitive. So plot-wise its okay, i don't particularly hate it, but its just too generic of a story line to like. However if I look at it with fresh eyes its not a bad story. The elemental parts are there, there is an overarching plot, and it will give you everything you…
