We have a plot where women play the bow, (what a coincidence in an ecchi/harem anime) in the first ep. they show it to us beautifully but with each subsequent ep. we hear less and less about it until the end when it is shown to us again in the last ep. so I will use well-known sentences from other reviews that fit here.
You could say that it is a typical anime that pretends to be action, has an interesting plot but it is all a cover for fanservice, which was not there this time (which surprised me). That is why we have the first ep. action to make it look like they are serious, but then they alternate it with ep. from everyday life at school and similar uninteresting ep. (preparation for the tournament, tea party, shopping) and when we are approaching the end we will put some action here…

This might be worst anime i have ever watched in my life.
From the first episode they introduced the mc but after that nobody can tell who is mc and who is not . my guy is fighting his inner feeling . i can understand that but other then that what the f he did in this series . from the beginning till the end this guy cant decide what he want to do . even in the tournament arc this guy is helping a horse give birth . Dude you are the mc you are supposed to help the female main character . it even has a harem tag
Our mc making his harem with horses . Dude acts like he is the best knight the world has ever seen. then why the f you wont do what you want to do .
if you cherish your time then don't watch this pure garbage.

In the beginning, Walkure Romanze starts as a promising anime.
Let's be honest; a story based on jousting is something very original. You cannot find a lot of stories based on that.
But, it looks like the creator of Walkure Romanze didn't intend to create something remarkable.
The story is straightforward and follows the same cliche as other harem animes.
It is sad to see how a story with a high potential finish transformed into an average anime.
If you decide to watch Walkure Romanze, even though it can be fun because it is not a bad story, you can be sure that there are many other things you can do more beneficial to get fun.
In summary, what bothers me about this anime is that the author has everything to create something remarkable, but in the end, he was satisfied with an averag…

The idea of romance can go out the window, I would put this more as an ecchi, slice of life. A modern-day surrounding of vehicles and cities with rich people for some reason on estates and in castles.
The show pushes the fan service to make up for the lack of character depth, and storyline as they try and push the guy who loves jousting, the guy who gets injured, the guy who wants to stay involved with jousting but seems to scare to go back and get whooped again.
At the same time, the guy tries to teach someone who finds a love of jousting, and has an interest in him, even if he ignores all romantic interest in a typical harem-esque style. Guy sits oblivious, girls battle for him, just to be mostly stood up.
Its not a great anime, it is not anything special, you want to see who wins and…

I almost rage quit this show at the end of episode 2 when they explained the rules for jousting, let me explain.
For safety reasons it is illigal to hit the opponents helmet, you will get a penalty if you do. This is fine, it's a realistic rule to have if jousting became a modern sport however, they put the "automatic-win-if-you-hit-it" feather on the helmet! And they for some reason do not use shields! Now this makes no sense from a safety point of view and completely pulled me out of the story.
If you can overlook the logical inconsistencies and the poor CGI horses there is a decent anime here. The art is fine and most of the girls are cute but nothing special. There is fanservice but most of it is toned down and there isn't the classic over the top reaction when the mc stumples into a…

The story revolves around a guy who is fighting against his past as a jouster and by choosing a girl to teach is the start of him recovering part that of himself however he only does this at the end; this is the forward momentum of the story progression
However the relationship between the MC and the girls is the second story of them becoming closer together
The jousting is a new sport based anime idea that I enjoyed seeing. This was well explain/presented with good reliability to real life in mock jousting eg. where Non-metal poles are used
All characters are individual with different stories and tasks/ points they must complete to overcome their boundaries and improve
The art style is good and detailed granted the same basic character design may have been transferred (similar to o…

Well well well. You're here to read a review? Well then, you found your review. Anyway, lets get to the point. Walkure Romanze is an anime about the love of jousting. The main character is a squire (an assistant to the knight [who is the one jousting]) and an annoying one too. basically, a bunch of girls ask him to be their squire and he's all like,"(stupid look on face) um...... can i tell you later?" he reminds me of Negi from Negima?! When a bunch of girls tell Negi they love him, but he's all like, "(stupid look on face, just like main character from Walkure) erm..... can i tell you after you graduate?"
A good part of this anime are that at least the girls are hot- i mean, the GRAPHICS of the show are SO GOOD. I MEAN, HIGH DEFINITION GOOD!
Another more serious good thing about Walkur…

Setting: It’s a mixed bowl that’s vaguely described. You’d expect it to be primarily in Europe, but there’s a lot of Japanese influence at Helen's Hill. The current time is also strange. Celia describes Teddy Roosevelt at one point while Bertille is jousting in a g-string with a commentator on a loudspeaker. Okay fine, it’s to be expected from an eroge.. but what exact year are we in?
Characters: The harem lead, Takahiro, seems like an OK guy. He’s not overly arrogant, although he can be whiny and brain dead at times. Mio, the apparent cover girl and love interest of Takahiro, is completely eclipsed by Celia: the noble and blonde busty bombshell with blue eyes. Celia is the class president and the most mature out of all girls, both physically and personality wise. Noel is the most enterta…

Well I don't even know where to start with this anime, because overall this performance was very bad. My Review contains spoiler and represents my own opinion, if you disagree with that then don't read further.
I expeceted a lot of fanservice and a poor story with female knights which are jousting for fun and battling about the only (?) squire.
Starting with the characters ...
Oh my, the characters were overall very bad and pretty dumb. I disliked everyone, expect James-san and Takahiro (the only squire on Wingford Academy?).
Please tell me (private message) why girls are cutting her hair to short? Are they becoming a new person, if they do so? I don't get the reason, because Mio looks so ugly after her haircut.
Sound was medicore. Nothing especially, where you would think "Wow, amazi…

This is in no way a good romance-harem anime. To sum the whole anime up, it's a typical harem anime that you can find anywhere. Very basic, nothing great. Plot wise, its like that. However, whats interesting is the concept. Using jousting and knighthood as the basis. I feel that its extremely interesting. The character developement's a little rushed but all in all nothing to fred over. Towards the end though it got extremely annoying for me. So all i can say is the ending didnt do well for me due to the way the writers decide the winners for each round and such. However, that is just me being petty, i think not many people will feel this way. So just give it a try.

From the story itself, Walkure Romanze is about jousting, which most of you know as a sport for male knights. But yeah, in this Willford Academy at Helen’s Hill, we also see girls playing joust.
One thing I liked about Walkure Romanze is that it’s set in a calm environment – the hills, the forest, all that stuff you’d see that feels like you’re in some part of Europe that is yet to be shown on television.
Speaking of the cast, it has your typical harem, where the students – including the class president – gets around you, mingles with you, and gets inspired because of you. That’s the common harem you’d see.
Here’s the mix: We have your typical dojikko, your typical traditional Japanese girl, your typical weeaboo, your typical female, your typical loli, and your typical man among man bec…

I expected something bad and got something bad. Really, really bad. This so-called sports series only made me suffer and didn't give me any enjoyment. Well, except for the first episode, when I still had the strength to laugh at how horrible it is.
STORY: 2
You thought it was going to be about jousting? Well, it kinda sometimes is. When it isn't about the girls, pathetic romanse/harem, fanservice etc., you could say it's about jousting. But even then, it's simply TERRIBLE. The main girl shouting randomly "I love jousting" when she was emotional is just one example of how overly dramatic it is.
The harem? All the girls SOMEHOW asked the main character to be their begleiter at the same moment. Even this one loli, who didn't even feel like she had anything to do with MC. Oh, what a coinciden…

Walkure Romanze
I watched this anime because it's listed in the Romance category and i wanted to see that, this shouldn't be in that category tho because the romance is what this lacks the most.
Story
The story was interesting, it's about jousting and somehow reminded me of A Knight's Tale but it was just at the end when you see the jousting, the other part is about talking, and talking, and not even romance is shown, just Mio trying to but failing because the protagonist Takahiro is slow understanding the insinuations, the end was meh, the story was fine.
Art & Animation
This was beautiful but for being from 2013 it could have been better, so overall was good.
Sound
The sound in every aspect was ok, but could have been better, the VA was ok and the OP wasn't bad the ED song was meh.

Low score :/ I know. Why you ask?
Well...
In my opinion the actual storyline was not that great, it was awfully patchy and jumped around quite a lot which did get awfully frustrating.
I mean it's alright I suppose but they never really explain about the universe and where it's set or really anything about jousting and why they have a school for it. I mean I suppose its some alternate universe but they have modern technology but they are jousting, which seems like a more older fashioned thing???
It also gets rather annoying that it will jump from character to character and really the plot just isn't consistent. I didn't get confused by it at all and I could keep up with the jumping around but it was very frustrating.
There's also the fact that the storyline is suppose to follow Takahiro Mi…

== [ Walkure Romanze - 7.5 / 10 ] ==
If you're looking for a sports anime with an unconventional plot - jousting, with some action and ecchi scenes then Walkure Romanze is for you.
While the story and character development are lacking, the show has its merits and is a decent show overall.
[ Story - 7 / 10 ]
The concept of jousting as a story base is interesting and not something you will see in other anime. While there are indeed several anime dealing with sport, jousting has not been covered previously, as far as I know. The story itself is simple: there is lots of jousting and a tournament at some point where the main characters participate. Not much apart from that, which can be both a good and bad point, depending on the viewer. It's for you to decide. If you're expecting a huge p…

Walkure Romanze tells the tale of six sweet girls ramming lances at each other on horseback. The jousting matches take a proportional amount of the plot - everything is focused around deciding which of the six girls is strongest. The matches are surprisingly exciting to watch, though some of the rules I can't fathom for the life of me. Namely, the concept of the "feather's fly" just blows my mind: Basically, hitting the feather in a knight's helmet is instant victory, while smashing their skulls in is penalized. Talk about high risk, high reward!
For a harem anime, Walkure Romanze's fanservice stays uncharacteristically reserved and classy - for the most part. The comedy is lighthearted, just like the drama. Watching this series, you won't find your blood pressure rising: There's not a mo…

I thought of going a bit out there in terms of shows, I live in the UK and have a fond love for Medieval things like Jousting. Now when I came across this show in one of MAL's recommended lists I noticed it said the genre was Ecchi and I got curious how Jousting and Ecchi would go hand in hand.
To go right to the point the Ecchi content is rather tame to be honest, if you're a big ecchi fan then this probably won't be the show for you. The first 3 episodes have it more than the rest of the show but I was surprised with how it mainly focused on the relationship of the characters and the jousting itself.
The story felt pretty much near identical to the movie 'A Knights Tale' (watch it its good) which is a good and bad thing, if it were to follow that movie in terms of plot completely thi…

First, let's get this out of the way. "Begleiter" means "squire." i.e. a knight's assistant. But just like a caddy in professional golf isn't just a guy to carry clubs, a begleiter doesn't just handle the knight's equipment. He helps with strategies and tactics.
Set in some kind of alternate universe (I guess. It never explains it) that merges medieval and modern, this show takes place in a school for knights and squires. There's a rather unusual harem subplot, with all the girls not necessarily attracted to the boy, but more interested in his talents as a squire.
Story: 5
I have mixed feelings about the plot. There's a great underdog story in the early episodes, then the main plot doesn't just get put on the back burner, it basically vanishes for six episodes. Don't get me wrong, I act…

Although this series is classified as a harem, it's not really about the various girls' love for the main guy as it is about their love for jousting. So don't start this anime expecting it to be like most harems where the love part is actually the central focus. Their attraction to him originates from the fact that they want to win the jousting tournament at their school, which is the overall plot of the story.
The story itself is pretty good, but it's not anything really special. There will be some moments where you'll be dying to find out the result of the conflict, but there aren't any moments where you'll experience huge emotional swings or be amazed by the action. So although the story isn't necessarily boring, it's a very "safe" story in that there wasn't much risk involved from the…

When I first seen some of the scenes on youtube I instantly liked the idea of this anime. I am really a fan of knights and medieval things. The things that I really I liked about this are the main character and the struggle of the main character. I felt the connection with him because of a similar situation I am in. As far as the story goes its has it flaws, the back story is a short 20 sec of a flashback and its not telling you any details of what exactly happened with the main character that lead him to be this way.
I enjoyed watching this anime and would recommend it as its short and fun to watch, although I would have loved to see more about the main character and the second season, I doubt that there would be such a thing...dont watch OVA its terrible.
