The samurai are a very important part of Japan's history, and to be related to them in any way is probably one of the most inspiring things that a young high school student could hope for.
Kawakami City is well-known for having many samurai ancestors among its citizens, and is generally surrounded by an atmosphere of fighting spirit, loyalty, and dedication to work. In Maji de Watashi ni Koi Shinasai!, the students of Kawakami Academy use this knowledge on a daily basis, whether they are studying for exams, competing in sports competitions, or making sure that they take very good care of their traditions. Yamato Naoe is one such student, and his six closest friends (three boys and three girls) make up the perfect team for friendship, rivalry, and motivation. However, even samurai have weaknesses.
Although the balance and long friendship of their group has been undisturbed for a long time, when two new girls enter the group, things start to get a lot more interesting. Not only must they maintain what they think is the samurai tradition, but they must now also do it with a lot of "distractions."

[contains some mild spoilers, some suggestive language, and some comparison to the visual novel] What a slaughter. Maji de Watashi ni Koishinasai (TV) is one of the two visual novels that was adapted this fall season. In comparison to Mashiro-iro, which was a decent adaptation, MajiKoi’s adaptation was pure shit. In Mashiro’s review, I stated that Mashiro was considered an “average visual novel”, which made the mediocre storyline understandable. But, MajiKoi doesn’t have the luxury of using the excuse “the visual novel was bad”, it was considered a great visual novel (8.71@VNDB). In other words, it was a great source with great potential. Now, why exactly does theadaptation blow? Is it because they adapted it into a generic harem instead of an enjoyable slice of life? Or is it because they completely slaughtered the characters, and developed the cast of respectable female characters into homogenized whores craving the main dude’s dick. Well, it would have to be a mixture of the two; but predominantly the latter.
Now, I can understand that Western tastes and tastes in Japan differ. They like excessive fan service, I find it irritating. There’s an obvious difference, but it’s bearable for the most part; it’s not as prominent as it could be. But there’s a limit to everything too. When every other scene is censored due to nudity, it’s basically blatantly insinuating “Fuck you, buy the blue-ray release”. It’s probably a really effective way to catalyze sales in my opinion, but it’s still a douche thing to do. That could be ignored if the other aspects of the show was actually adapted decently, but they weren’t. .
My first major gripe would be the harem aspect of it. The first arc of MajiKoi, before branching out and choosing individual path, was essentially, a slice of life. It’s really extenuating more on friendship then it is with the individual intimate relationships, it’s reminiscent of AnoHana in a way. The main arc in the visual novel basically contains little to no romance and it’s not hindered by infatuation until you begin to branch (but that’s still only with one character). The arc is more than enough to be animated into twelve episodes, it took six hours to read. That’s reading with skipping the majority of the voice acting, basically spamming enter. It’s inevitably understandable on why they would adapt MajiKoi as a harem over a sexless slice of life (It’ll probably sell well), but it was still something that could have been done.
Now, the second gripe that basically ruins the visual novel, is slaughtering the characters. It’s similar to reading a book and developing the “ideal archetype” of the character, only to see it getting completely revamped in a movie adaptation. By slaughter, I don’t mean some slight miscalculations, it’s some pretty noticeable stuff. Some pretty notable ones would include the main character, Yamato. Now, in the visual novel, the main character is basically portrayed as an intelligent, devious tactician when it comes to facing everyday challenges; that carries on over in the anime. But in the VN, he wasn’t lusting after his friends, and his philosophies were more complex. In the anime, he was basically painted as a kind person as a kid when it came to taking in Miyako. In the visual novel, he just mentioned that she could stay if she wanted, it wasn’t through any good will, he was a nihilistic kid, I don’t think he really cared. On the other hand, each female in the visual novel had their own individual personality, in the anime, they’re basically homogenized into lusting after the dude(most notably Chris, she hated his devious dishonorable personality initially in the visual novel, however, in the anime, she doesn’t mind it). In the VN, they thought of him as a friend, and nothing more unless you pursued it while branching out.
Objective Score: 2/10. It’s a disappointment. It did one of the worst things you could do in an adaptation, it slaughtered the character. It turned something with little fan service into something based off of fan service. Action was actually the focal centerpiece in the anime, in the novel, it’s more of an underlying theme.
Subjective Score: 4/10: If you didn’t read the visual novel, you might actually like this. Most people reading the visual novel will probably dislike this immensely, it slaughtered the personalities of the majority of the characters. I guess you’ll like this if you like action, boobs, and cliché characters (excluding Miyako, she’s basically the only characters that’s pretty damn awesome in both versions, but then again, adapting a chick who’s going after the dude probably wasn’t the hardest in comparison to the rest).

First of all, my purpose writing this review for this anime is to clarify any negative comments about this anime, since so many review saying this anime is horrible because the anime itself didnt really like the VN. really? just for that reason? Honestly, why do people comparing the VN with the anime itself? we're talking about the anime in here not VN. oh god... When i finished this series i was kinda surprised, because the score in MAL itself didnt represent how good this anime was, i dont say this anime was the best but its quite entertaining, that 6.99 is just so UNDERRATED. rememberthat.
I have seen the VN itself but i am not gonna compare it, so i judge this anime purely based on how excited when i watching this anime.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STORY - The story itself , i am not quite sure if this anime have a plot. I though the preview in MAL has explain it all. its about a bunch of girls and some boy who lives in under one roof, they represent theyself as kawakami family (sounds like a mafia, huh?), and the first of the episode you will see a war (yeah a war) which happen like in three kingdoms era. if you're thinking WTF is this, then i said this was an extracurriculer from the school that they attends. Shortly, for me Maji de Watashi is like Angel beats (Bunch of people) + Oda Nobuna (the war from edo era).
At the first, it would quite hard to follow what happen in this anime since so many things that would make the viewers scratching their head. It cant be helped since, many scenes of this anime is slices of the Visual Novel itself, no wonder if the story is kinda messed up and didnt focus on the plot.
be reversed from the story itself, The jokes that appears in this anime was really hit the spot, its really funny and quite amusing. 6/10
ART - The artwork that the Maji de Watashi have is literally good, its not something that really exaggerate. The biright coloring that they use is pretty much increasing the atmosphere, Colorful scenery, and the character design itself is pretty well made, though the quality is seems a bit lower for the other anime but the art in this anime is still pretty enjoyable to watch. However, sometimes there is a lack in character drawn quality. In some scenes, the character face seems quite been "distracted", but thats doesnt really bothering. SO, 8/10.
VOICE ACTOR - I am really attached by the voice for each character, they really represents the trait of each character, like Momoyo, she is tomboy, and the voice that they present was really like a real tomboy person, heavy voice and yet its cute. and anoher thing that should we mention is Gotou Yuuko. As the voice actor for MAyuzumi Yukie, her voice was so adorable and cute. No matter how many times you hear it, you wouldnt bored and helped to fallin love 8/10
SONG - This is maybe the reason why i love to watch Maji de Watashi. especially the OP song + the animation for the OP itself. "U-n-d-e-r--STANDING!" by Endoh Masaaki, Kitadani Hiroshi, Misato Aki is quite catchy rock song, The beats is really hyped up the viewers like me, nor it was perfectly fit with the anime.
CHARACTER - Well, its like any other harem anime, we have a tsundere (Christiane Friedrich), Dandere ( Yukie Mayuzum), the energetic one (Kazuko Kawakami), Big boobs (Momoyo Kawakami), and of course the obssesive one (Miyako Shiina) which reminds me of Sacchan in Gintama and for the main lead we have Naoe Yamato, which is very fits for the male lead, he is smart and yet its doesnt easy to tease this guy with the flirt from all the girls and a point plus for this male lead is he is not "shy" like any other harem anime.
We have a bunch of unique girls, of course it was the standard of all harem. but somehow i found its really amusing. 8/10
CONCLUSION - Basically, its lack of the story like everyone had said. but i am not really like concern about that problem since for me harem anime is just for entertaining, so i score this anime based on how satisfaction i am when i watching this anime, so did i satisfied with this anime? yes it is. its funny and yet admirable, especially for each character. so 8/10 for me.

We have Lerche's adaptation of the Minato Soft's adult visual novel that was originally release in 2009 for PC. The first episode is full of action, the next ones are full of fanservice, but then we have this comedy drama overload with a bit of action, and it's not a great combination. The art is awfull compared to the VN, but that will always happen, anyways, Mayumi and his co-workers made a great job. The music goes perfectly with the scenes, Katsuhiko-san is good with his work on this and Mirai Nikki. Every character is different, specially the female ones. personally, I fell in love with Koyuki andKazuko, Mayo is so cute (kawaii) and that thingy called Kuroko it's so random. Also, I'm a big fan of Asakawa Yuu, she made a great job with Momo, and even when i hate Yuko Goto's voice, she's wonderful with Yukie and Matsukaze.
Enjoyment? well, besides this genre mess, it was a good anime, and I know that the VN is 100% better, but if I have the chance to buy the BDs, I will...

Ok, so I've just finish this 12 episode anime, I must say that I generally describe this anime a chaotically crappy for something that is taken from an adult visual PC eroge novel. Ok so before the last 3 episodes I was able to forgive this anime's short comings co'z of the comedy and the ecchi (even though it's censored) things in it and there is this thing that I was hoping that the muchacho (Yamato) goes for Shiina, however things turned around with a corny ending. All the genres describe for this anime pertains not as a whole, but was divided each ona per episode basis that adds to the chaos, so for the story it is a "POOR" number 3.
Art: Mediocre number 5.
Co'z the art bears resemblance from another anime ""Kimiga Aruiji de Shitsuji Ga Ore De," where Kuki Ageha came from.
Sound: Good number 7.
Since I like both opening and ending themes and I also like the seiyus who did the voices of the female cast.
Character: Poor number 3.
Ok, let’s go to each of the main characters:
Naoe Yamato- his character has him being a muchacho who prefers brains over brawn; actually he uses 2 heads one on top where he does all his thinking, analyzing and planning and one below his belt where he reads porn on one hand and plays with it.............. I'll leave to your imagination. He's a bit of a letdown co'z everything about his character falls short of expectation, this is due to the fact that everything about his role is a dichotomy: examples are; he proposes his love for Momoyo in 1st episode but in another episode he makes gestures that he'll be willing to marry Momoyo's sister, Wanko, he has a vast collection of porn paraphernalia, let alone some of his winky flash to Kokoro and yet he’s very reluctant to bang Miyako, his bragging that he prefers brains to brawn yet he ends up being a damsel in distress and what irritates me is his ridiculous and stupid excuse of giving this anime a corny ending about his pet hermit crabs to his harem. Actually, my rating for this part falls on him.
As for his harem:
Friedrich Christiane - her character has her to be part of Naoe’s gang and class, she is a fencer by fighting standards. Since this anime has a harem genre in it, her role completes that of a rich tsundere with feelings for the muchacho (Naoe). The author of this anime seems to have limited her assistant Eberbach, Margit to a cameo role; she could have added something for this anime if she would have been made part of the main cast. Friedrich certainly adds certain class and finesse to the harem . By the way, I really hate the way she wore her uniform.
Kawakami Momoyo- she's the muchacho's love interest, she's one superb fighter and she's bisexual, it is now establish the she does love the muchacho. Since part of this anime's genre is super powers, it is safe to say that her character is that genre.
Kawakami “Wanko” Kazuko – By fighting standards she’s pike man co’z she armed with a naginata, she’s basically completes the harem genre as being wife material to the muchacho (Naoe) as well as an able competition from her elder sister, Momoyo.
Mayuzumi Yukie – Well, obviously she’s a samurai and part of the harem, she’s probably the only member of the muchacho’s harem who’s a bit weird co’z she has a dual personally which compose of; the shy and conservative Yukie and the opinionated and outspoken Matsukaze which is represented by his horse like cell phone strap thing. What makes it more wired is that one can’t determined whether or not if every cast knows about her condition or they just assumed that the horse like thing is has a mind of its own, if this anime has a psychological genre in it, she’ll fit right in.
Shiina Miyako- according to info, she was once bullied and was saved by the muchacho during their elementary days. Question, how was she able to become a skilled archer, in a span of just a few years? It is also implied that she’s not just any ordinary archer but she also has the same quick reflexes as all the members of the muchacho’s harem. Frankly she also adds to the muchacho’s dichotomy were it is implied that the muchacho may have a thing for her and yet he shoves her like some stray animal who wanders into his backyard. But one thing about her is that she contributes a lot to the comedy and ecchi genre of this anime.
And the rest of the muchacho’s gang:
Kazama Shiochi, Mooroka Takuya, Minamoto Tadakatsu and Gakuto Shimazu – well, it is kinda disappointing that the author has just limited the 4 to be support cast whereas
they have the potential to spice up the anime, however it is only Kazama Shiochi who is the true support cast among the four since he has more air time than the rest whom were just limited to cameo roles.
Others:
Kuki Ageha – I really don’t get as to why the author has to borrow her from another anime, when he/ she could have just come up with a new character.
Cookie – I don’t know what to make out of that character and so are the rest.
Enjoyment and overall: Poor number 3.
Ok, so as I’ve mentioned this anime is taken from a PC adult eroge visual novel, so it is a PC game, the enjoyment is only on the ecchi and comedy part of the anime which only extents up to the 8th episode and according to another review writer, the anime “Majikoi” didn’t follow the intended arc of the title in fact the title itself doesn’t fit well and I agree, if we’re to assigned this title to another anime I’d say that the title should fit right with “School Rumble,” as for the said animes title “School Rumble” I’d say that is more appropriate to be assigned to this anime since the setting always involves the students of Kawakami Academy.

Ever had a feeling of watching a show that was really close to another? Well I have been having that with this show. This show is much like that and reminds me of Martial Heart although not as bad. Both have school girls fighting duals against other people in many different get ups from kimono’s to bad ass ninja clothing and they all have a different way of fighting. There is also a lot of nudity, the difference though being that the nudity isn’t actually in the fighting. It’s all in the school life drama that unfolds. The school life is just as it soundslike, like every other school life genre with the gags running wild from perverted school mates to love life triangles.
We have 5 girls all fighting for attention of one man, Yamato. We have the stupid one, the overly perverted one, the shy one, the girl who is from another country, and then the tomboy childhood friend. Sorry but that’s pretty much how each of the characters are. They may fight really well but under the surface, it’s just another school life. And then they had to add a bit of a underlining story that goes along with the show about the government or something but it just doesn’t seem to fit all that well. And sadly, the government part would be a big spoiler if I explained it so I’m in a little bit of a loss as to how to make this seem like a different show then all the other ones like it.
The only thing that I have to say is I like Yamato’s undying love for Momoyo Kawakami. He pretty much never really falters in his love for her though he is a major pervert in ways. They had to make it so that he would be going after dirty magazines and movies. I guess it’s a normal high school boy thing but it seriously, it’s a bit overboard. And then there is a point where he gets hurt just because the girls fight over him in one of the most stupid ways. He is a weakling and yet all the girls love him. I’m not against him being skilled in mind but he should be a bit stronger if he’s around those girls.
The animation is what I would expect from a 21st century anime and like many before that I have reviewed, it really didn’t stand out much. It was nice and rather clean lines with characters looking standard to the moe genre. That is really all I can say about it, its standard. It was made on a computer which means that the art style is pretty much the same as other bright shows. Not saying that every anime is made exactly the same but sometimes means that there is nothing to really talk about other then its good.
The voices are pretty perfect for the characters with none of them really standing out except for me thinking I heard the same voice somewhere else. The same voice actor that does Yamato, Josh Grelle, is also the same one who did Satan in The Devil is a Part-Timer. The person who did Yamoto’s friend Shoichi also did one of the twins in Ouran High School. Things like that stick out for me because it seems that these people were dominating the voice acting industry when these were dubbed.

I am writing this review based on what this anime is about: harem and action. Everyone compares it to the VN, I personally have not played it, so this is an unbiased review. Story- there really isn't one to speak of, other than trying to beat the former DEVA. It's the basic harem where the girls try to get the guy, but the girls are more forceful than other harems(miyako is my favourite, she would strip naked in public if Yamato asked). The action just from the first episode is so over the top with added superpowers makes it just awesome. Art- the art is enjoyable,the characters are well drawn, the backgrounds too. The fights, anything involving momoyo, are fast, which all you see is arms going back and forth, so it's like they got lazy. The art isn't amazing, but it's still good.
Sound- it went good with most scenes, the fights had excellent soundtracks, the OP and ED were good but not catchy enough for me
Characters- they all followed their respective archetypes, but were more or less open with their feelings, except momoyo. With a half season, the show didn't focus on character development but the action aspect of it, each fight being better than the last.
Enjoyment-I watched this show purely for the harem and action that it had. If you don't like this type of anime don't watch it, if u think this is like the VN don't watch it cause u will bitch about it the whole time.
This anime didn't try to be anything that it wasn't, on the action part, it nailed it, the harem, miyako dull it down and mayu be just a little less awkward, the ecchi was fine, always just in the bath, never in fights to keep focus on the action. It was enjoyable, but it could've been better with 24-26 episodes and a clear choice on who he would choose out of the five.

I watched the anime and my impression is like "hmmm... okay...". I played the visual novel and it's like "awesome dude...". Actually, it makes me pretty addicted to visual novels after play that one. Story: If I haven't played the VN, I'm pretty sure that I'm gonna wondering and goes "Huh?". There's no proper introduction of who they are, what their relation is, how can they involved in the war and so on. You have to guess it yourself. One of the reasons why I give a bad score on the story is because, the story doesn't revolves around the "Kazama Family". It's only the main characterand the heroines. And it's too many ero scenes. I mean A LOT. It such a big let down if you compare it to the VN. But, I like the battle scenes.
Art:
I like the art. The girls are so pretty cute and the guys are cool. This is one of the good sides of the anime.
Sound:
Well, I pretty much like the opening and ending song. I like how all of the heroines singing at the ending song.
Character:
Man, this is the worst. The main character is a really great tactician in the VN. But here, he's just a shitty hentai. And the girls, how can you have an interest in someone like him. I literally want to cry.
Enjoyment:
Well, if you're a man you're gonna enjoy this. The battle scenes are pretty cool and the fan services is a wow. They serve it without censor. I don't know if there's a censored version or not. But as an anime lover, it's an okay.
Overall:
I don't recommend this anime. Only watch this anime if you don't have another collection to watch. I recommend the VN though.

[Contains spoilers, information, and epicness] The plot of this anime was really unexpected once you start to get in the mood of watching it. Personally, I think that there is more than 1 story in this anime, which is really frustrating. I do love the art, it is the same art for all characters which makes it a great projection. The sound is REALLY funny, and by that I mean, it has some parts in the episode with nudes, but the concept of the english voice is quite funny. Character's in here include one of the following: moe, tsundere, crazy, WTF, etc. Overall enjoyment of thisanime is great, I really recommend for anyone to watch it.

Okay so this is for those people reading the reviews and wondering what they should be expecting from this anime. First off I'll go ahead and say that I really enjoyed it, so this will be a positive review. This anime is the epitome of ecchi comedy. I originally started watching it expecting something semi-serious, but that was blown out of the water. I expected the opening episode to set the scene, but nope. That was just there for the luls. Throughout the rest of the series I don't think there was an episode where I wasn't crying with laughter at one point because of the high"WTF Factor".
Anyway, to sum up - if you want to enjoy this anime don't expect a good storyline or events/characters/abilities that make any sense whatsoever. This anime should be bad, but I hands-down enjoyed it more than some higher rated animes.

This is probably my 2nd favorite harem anime. The characters break free from your standard harem character archetypes without making them too similar. It's as if the writer isn't an anime writer. It has little to no story, as your standard anime. But that's not really what we watch these for anyway. The OST and the op/ed themes are very good. In fact, I think I've had the op theme stuck in my head for about 2 weeks now. If you're into harem/ecchi this anime is a must-watch.
Hime-In-A-Box
Oh man, that ending. I won't be comparing it to the VN because I haven't tried the VN. I'll keep this review nice and simple. Majikoi is simply a fun show. I went into it not expecting much and got just that. There wasn't anything memorable in this series whatsoever. Despite that, the series was funny when it wanted to be, and the action was actually fairly good. Honestly, the only real problem I have is the story and the ending. Story: 5 I honestly think this show would have been better without a story. Of course, one of my main reasons for being theanime addict that I am is the countless stories that anime is able to offer. If an anime doesn't have a story, then as long as it has great characters and good humor then I'm set. Majikoi is a funny show. They make a lot of sexual jokes, but that's not really the only basis of the humor. The story is simple yet also kind of stupid. Stupid is a sort of childish term, but it fits the story nicely. It tries to be serious, and really I tried to take it that way. The ending is what disappointed me. I didn't mind the stupid story because there were great characters to back it up. I'm just going to be straight and say the ending to this show is one of the worst endings I've ever seen. No closure. At all.
Art: 8
I gave the Art an 8 because it's fairly average, but at times it's a bit more than that. The animation is actually pretty good for the fight scenes, and there's plenty of fights to go around, whether they're a serious fight or not. It was fun to see. Other than that, there's nothing really notable to point out about the art.
Sound: 8
The soundtrack is definitely above average. It's good, though there are only about 2 stand-out tracks that I'd actually want to look for. None of the music was really notable. The opening isn't anything special, though after a few episodes it grew on me and I actually started to like it. The Ending song I never paid any attention to. (Though I usually would.) The BGM of the show fits fight scenes nicely and one track actually managed to make one of the fights seem fairly emotional. Only a bit, though.
Character: 9
This is where the show stands out to me. I don't really care for "typical character types", like when people point out the typical types of girls always involved in a harem. To be honest I have a hard time finding any typical character types here except for Momoya, the girl who only really cares about fighting. I'm not sure if that's typical, though. There were some unique characters, types I've never seen before, actually. Mayucchi, for example, was a great character who always talked to her keychain, which she also thought talked back but it's actually just a sort o split personality of hers pretending to be the keychain. There's Cookie, the robot, who was a fun character to see interact with people. The main character, Yamato, was actually pretty stand out too. He's a pervert, but not really to an extreme level like the main characters of "So, I can't Play H!" or "Kenzen Robo Daimidaler". He's not afraid to pull out his man-parts if needed, though. He also loves Hermit Crabs, which was a small yet somewhat entertaining personality trait of his. He's also extremely smart when it comes to being a strategist, and for that people admired him. The other girls in the harem, as well as the dudes who were Yamato's friends, were all fun to watch interact with one another. The strong point of this show is it's character, yes. I honestly kept watching this show for them solely. Plus, the relationship between Yamato and Momoya was one I rooted for. There's actually a good amount of depth to their relationship, too.
Enjoyment: 7
Really the strong points of this series is the comedy. If you watch it solely for that, you shouldn't be disappointed. Don't take it seriously. Watch it for the characters. They're fun. The story is dumb. It's there, and it gets in the way of the comedy, but it's something you can easily get past and back to the fun.
Overall: 7
If you're looking for a quick comedy to watch to pass the time, a so-so show with a lot of dick jokes, fun characters and pretty good action, I'd say try out Majikoi. It's only 12 episodes, so why not? I enjoyed watching it to pass the time and I feel as though if you don't take this seriously, you may enjoy it too.

I've watched quite a few harem anime in my time and I must say this is one of the most annoying,I'll try to leave spoilers out although since there is basically no story I'm not sure how I could spoil it. ART:5 The art is pretty average,nothing memorable or different about it,it just gets the job done all the ecchi scenes are censored though so if you plan on watching for that sorry to disappoint you. The fight scenes were okay but nothing spectacular. SOUND:5 The sound like the rest of the show is average at best,the endings and opening themes are what you would expect from thiskind of show and none of the background music (honestly I can't even remember if there was any and I just finished it) stuck with me.
CHARACTER:4 When the most compelling character in a show is a horse figure you know there's a serious problem. Every girl in the show exists solely to fall in love with Yamato,their entire character revolves entirely around fighting for his attention,and while I understand that's how most harem anime works this show makes it painful to watch every girl does exactly the same thing,they have no defining traits in fact you could replace them all with stick figures with weapons and the show won't change,well except Miyako and Mayuchhi they at least added to the "story" a bit,side characters are forgettable apart from one or two and the MC himself....wow,just wow not since yuukiteru amano have I seen such concentrated uselessness in one place in a school where everyone is a martial artist he can't even beat the fodder,he says he's a strategist but never uses any I swear there is more strategy in Gurren Lagann than in anything this guy says or does,he doesn't improve in any way
STORY:5 This show had no idea what it wanted to be I've seen shows that delivered a solid viewing experience in less than 12 episodes this is not one of them it starts off as a high school battle anime,tries to be slice of life-ish for a few episodes,flips over to the MC who is just a high school student by the way going on about saving the country (yes the same guy who gets his ass kicked by unarmed fodder while holding an energy sword) and then back to the fighting,the whole thing feels like filler for something there is no seriousness,no conflict (unless you count the girls literally fighting each other while saying Yamato every 2 seconds) and the fact that for some reason highschoolers have powers that are never explained and are stronger than the entire army put together baffles me
ENJOYMENT:5 It had a few funny moments,fans of ecchi will be disapointed,fans of awesome fight scenes don't hold your breath and if you're a fan of ANY type of plot at all you'd get more of that in a bowl of alphabet soup than you will here,if you watch any episode watch the festival episode that was hilarious.
OVERALL:5 Mediocre show,annoying characters,non-existent story (or completely random filler-like story if you will) Don't waste your time on this
P.S That running gag with the darkskin character was offensive as hell.

Maji de Watashi ni Koi Shinasai! An adaption of a visual novel by Minato-Soft. Plot sets in a "battle academy" school, Kawakami Academy. Naoe Yamato, our protagonist, a smart strategist and a popular guy with the girls in his class. Though this anime is extremely short to cover its game which takes over 50 hours to beat a route. It covered some of the core ideas: Harem situation and the various main battles between 2-F and 2-S. Story is a 10. It's very unique and interesting. It's score as a visual novel is around 8. A really enjoyable visual novel. I was surprised the powerit sucked me into MajiKoi's series and everything.
The supposed path in this anime is the True End. I'm gonna say what that means.
Art is 10. It looks exactly like the visual novel. The way I love it. Epic fighting scenes and character desgins.
Sound was worth a 9. The OP and ED was pretty good, along with the original sound track. Nothing special here, let's move on.
Character. 10! Each and every heroine was fabulous. Yukie, Momoyo, Wanko, Shiina and Chris were all very beautiful and each had very awesome seperate stories behind them. Ones cannot say they don't like atleast one of them. teehee
I really enjoyed this anime because the fighting scenes were just stunning. Everything about this series is above excellent. Though some people might dislike this anime due to its lack of detailed adaption. It satisfied me. 6 Hours spend watching this was damn worth it. #teamtsubame

The story is more or less, a buncha hot martial arts girls who all love the same dude, and they end up fighting an enemy and her henchmen. I don't like this anime for the story. If it was a serious anime i would of dropped it. A lot of the episodes was just the dude and his massive harmen of girls interacting and funny scenarios happening. They all try to get him to fall in love with them by doing crazy/cute stuff. The action scenes are good, but my favorite part is the comedy and the crazy in love girls. This anime isjust full of crude humor and sex jokes. All the characters have really funny personalities and if you have the right kinda sense of humor this anime will make you laugh. If you don't like seeing bare breasts, a million sex jokes and some action stay away from this anime. One other thing that, this anime touches on is loving ones country and what it truely means. It doesn't mean the country is perfect but you have people you love in it and you want to protect it. "People form famlies, familes form towns, and many towns form a country''. A quote i liked from the anime. It's a fun little anime that has some good spots besides the basic plot.

I'll make this review after playing basically all Majikoi games, so f you if you don't agree. First of all... Majikoi VN is a masterpiece imo, it aged really well, and the quality it has can fight the newer ones. it has a great quality in every aspect, so if you enjoyed the characters, you'll love it as well Story: For all those who say that the anime doesn't really have a plot, well.. they are somewhat right, what they did for this anime, is mesh all the routes into one, just to give you a feel about each character, plus the addition of characters thatappear in the sequel of the original Majikoi VN.
The story for this anime, mostly follows Momoyo route, with some minor changes, and some big ones.
Characters: They portrayed them really well, the personality they have in the anime, is the same as in the VN, so if you liked at least that, you will surely enjoy the VN. I also give my props to the VA's, since their voices suit the characters.
Art: For being an anime based on an old eroge, the animation was really good, as well as the colouring, although sometimes the drawing quality did drop.
Music: Yeah, the music for this anime doesn't hold a candle to the VN, I don't know the reason of why they didn't used tracks from the game. With that said, I don't think it's necessarily bad, it does fit with the anime. Of all things this has, music has to be my least favorite.
Conclusion: It does a good job promoting the VN, it shows a good ammount of the poersonality each girl has, and explains you a bit about the setting. I still think they should have tried harder in making the story a little easier to follow.
If you want to enjoy the series, the best thing to do is reading the VN's, I think they have a really good quality
Mikame-
First of all, the Ecchi is pretty strong in this. So if you came for that, like I did, you won't be disappointed. I'm someone who watches things very loud and freely, not caring if people see and hear what's going on, but there were a few parts in this, where I was a little concerned about what people could hear. If that happens, you know they've done something right. Going off the English dub, the voices suit the characters. There seems to be a girl for all different types. Pretty nice boob action, the dub I watched was uncensored, if that's something people look for,which I'm sure it is, it is available. Miyako is probably my favourite, though Momoyo is very close, it's hard to choose. Avoiding spoilers, look forward to the beginning of ep 3 and the mushroom scenes in ep 6. They were 2 of my favourite things.
Story wise, it builds slowly. It's obvious the point really isn't the story. It's just supposed to be a funny, naughty time for people to enjoy and it definitely is. When story does come in and start to come together it is good. It would be better if there was more of it because it is interesting.
The ending could have been better but it wasn't terrible.

I'll keep this short to save your time The anime in my opinion was amazing.You can easily tell that the anime wasn't rushed.The story,characters,art,they were amazing. Story:8/10 The story was really good.If you're looking for an anime with boob action and girls fighting over one guy then this is the anime for you.In all honesty their isn't really a story at the very beginning of the anime.The way it started was a good introduction to the anime as it tried to make you laugh and take the time to understand each characters personality.Things tend to get more serious in the middle of the anime. Art:7/10 The art wasn'tbad at all.Still,there are parts in the anime where the art could have been better.You would understand if you watch the anime since I wont be writing any spoilers,sorry.
Sound:8/10 The sound was perfect.It really helped make the personality of each character.The sound was perfect for each object used in the anime.Their are some parts in the anime where the sounds were a little off but still,nobody is perfect.
Character:8/10 Each character had their own personality and they were all funny in their own way.They tend to use "Teamwork" to work together and get the job done.They all treat each other like a family but in some cases,things tend to get a little out of hand if you know what I mean.
Enjoyment:9/10 If you're looking for an anime that will make you laugh with boob action and violence then this is the anime for you.You fall in love with the characters and it makes you want to see more and more of the anime.It makes you wish the anime could last forever.
Overall I would rate the anime an 8 or an 9 out of 10. I don't want to give out any spoilers but their are some cases where you do get mad in the anime but you still enjoy the anime.In my opinion I loved the anime and I would highly recommend watching the anime.

Alrighty Samurai Girls. Well to clarify for anyone reading this. I do see a lot of people say that this adaption of this anime from it's visual novel apparently outright crap. However I have not read the visual novel. So with that clarification. On to the review. Now first the negatives. The story is very eh at best. It makes sense, but it is very plain to say the least. It is enough to get the characters to get out of the house. However what are you going to expect out of a harem series? You know why you watch these ecchi harems. So charactersfor me. Most of them are ok. However some of them are kind of annoying to me personally. However that just narrows down who my waifu is. So take that as you will. However with this being a harem. I was pleasantly surprised by how good this series was. I did enjoy this series. So lets start of with the art. Now this is the same studio who made another one of my favorites assassination classroom, and Monster Musume if you like that series. This series does a great job with the fighting animations, and there is plenty of it. The characters also look a bit different as well. So the art style is very nice as well. Also watching uncensored on the blu ray is a added bonus. The sound is also good if you are worried about that. So for the overall feel of the anime as I stated above I liked this series. Usually I am very picky about this genre of anime. Usually its awkward dialogue, WAY too young of a girl, or maybe even a slow boring story. Yes the story is slow, and plain. There is still one there. It is enough to make sense of why the characters do what they do. However no little girl sexual tension. That is automatically a plus in my book. If yah like it it isn't here. If you don't welcome to the party. The jokes are pretty good to. Obviously the jokes are sexual. Because yah know? Harem anime. However I laughed out at some of these jokes. Then the voice acting with the main character and Miyako are absolute gems. The way he talks when she surprises him is fantastic in the dub of this anime. So the score is a seven out of ten for me. I would recommend this anime, but only to people who like this type of anime. If you are a elitist anime fan. You aren't going to like it. Which they don't really like anything. Anyways. I loved it the art is good, dialogue is pretty good, plenty of good waifus to choose from, boobs, and some great fight scenes. Also the opening is pretty kick ass.

Seriously... I loved this anime (pun intended). I gave it a 7 overall because I could write pages of things that were wrong with it, but it gets high marks in the enjoyment category, and sometimes that's all that matters. One word sums up this series... Ridiculous. There are so many ridiculous moments in this series that make it so great. Thanks to so much ridiculousness this series has high repeat value. At only 12 episodes I know I'll be seeing it a few more times. The synopsis really doesn't tell you anything about the story. It may be the synopsis for the visual novel orthe manga, but it didn't prepare me for the anime at all. The first episode is a jumble of comedy and action, but then it goes into slice of life character driven moments that are filled with dirty jokes and lots of fun starting in episode two. A story is thrown in there and is wrapped up at the end, but it's a mediocre story at best. It's all about the characters, and it's all about their relationships with each other.
The main male character was the weakest fighter, and the girls have all the brawn. He's the Bosley and the five main girls are his Charlies Angels. They take all sorts of odd jobs for various reasons through the school, and it's a crazy ride to follow. I don't know if I would want to go to a school like that, but it was interesting to see their daily life if even just a little.
The comedy is great in this series. Forget sexual innuendos, we're talking sex jokes and plenty of them. They don't shy away from making constant bold statements. Frankly, it was refreshing and I laughed pretty frequently. It really is a fun series to watch and I highly recommend it. It has good artwork, good music, and it's filled with all sorts of fun. Definitely worth checking out.
