During the Taishou period of early 20th-century Japan, Haru Asagi is sent to work as a maid to support her struggling family. The Miyanomori family, which she serves, is highly influential across Japan and consists of one of the nation's top magnates and his six sons—but power and money have brought out the cruelest in these brothers.
When the head of the family announces his retirement, the six Miyanomori brothers are left to vie for his position. With 18 years of experience separating the oldest and youngest brothers, frustration and competition are rife. As a result, Haru is left to deal with each of the vastly different siblings and explore the depths of their true selves. All the while, a greater conflict lies in wait with the potential to destroy everything their father has built for them.

To be blunt, this OVA was a complete waste of my time: I've never given such low ratings pior nor, I doubt, will I do again. My patience was immensely tested throughout the span of these two episodes; I kept watching hope against hope that there would be a spark of brilliance of plot twist or character development. But all I seemingly did was watch a young girl fall, break things, cry, and apologize repeatedly for two hours, and the men around her acting without the decorum that suits their high status. The first few minutes of the first episode tricked me into thinking thiswill be a glamorous, multi-tiered family drama. Boy, had I been disappointed.
I feel sympathetic towards the artists and designers who had to deal with this.

This anime is not amazing, but I don't think it's horrible. I do hope there is another episode, so that proves it's not that bad. I really loved the artwork in this, and I thought the songs were beautiful. It is a typical reverse harem, but I don't believe there is anything wrong with that! The main character in my opinion was a little weak, but with these types of anime it's hard to make a main female character with loads of personality. They have to suit each male character, most harems–though I haven't seen many, I don't like how the girls are displayed inmany–have the main male character have a very weak personality.
I love the idea of this anime. I hope they make another to fill up a BUNCH of cliff-hangers and plot holes. This is a great anime to watch when you're bored and want to watch some sort of romantic anime.

What did I just watch? My love of reverse harems and otome games brought me to add Hanayaka Nari to my "to watch" list. It happened to be available on youtube, so I thought I'd give it a shot. I'm pretty sure 10 minutes into the first episode, I was ready to give up on it, but knowing that it was only just 2 episodes long, I forced myself to sit through till the very end. In retrospect, I kind of wish that I hadn't. Persistence is not always a good thing. *face palms Story - 4 (mostly for its potential, and not actual story) The potentialwas there in buckets. Set in a historic period, there could've been more elements weaved into the plot. The anime starts with the announcement of the head of the Miyanomori family looking to retire in 10 months time. He wants his six sons (each with a different mother) to compete for the title of the next head of the clan. Not unique, but interesting story, right? ... Except, nothing more happens from it! Randomly, there's an assassination, and two suspicious characters are introduced in the second episode, but none of them are addressed by the end of the second episode.

I'm a sucker for ikemen so I had to give a passing grade. Every brother looks like a character out of another anime, but I'm okay with that. They were fine to look at, so no complaints. They also tried to make each a different trope, and were semi-successful with that. Because each brother lacked airtime, we never get to really know any of them, and thus, never fall in love with any of them. The main character is marginally acceptable. Her clumsiness (which really makes her career choice a bad one) is a bit overdone, but she does kind of stand up for herself when it matters. For this cookie-cutter of a story/anime, you can't really expect a stellar female lead. You can have the cake, or you can eat the cake. Alas, I will continue in my quest for a good reverse harem with both the ikemen and a strong, independent MC.
Overall, I wouldn't recommend this anime even if you super dig ikemen. There are tons more with good looking fellas that offer much more than this anime did. I'm sorry. I wish I had better things to write about it. (On another note, should this game be offered in English, I'm all for it. =D)

Hanayaka Nari, Waga Ichizoku: Kinetograph is quite a nasty anime in the beginning. The guys is hot but were to cruel to the MC i found myself wanting to have a comeback at them. I like Reverse Harem but most of the RH anime the MC is always so pure and a pushover and could be known as a slut. But this Anime is quite to my liking. The MC is quite naive but she has a good points... The guys however annoy me most of the time but since they are good looking and hilarious i let it slide sometimes . They are timesi almost throw my phone.
The voice of the character doesnt fit with the face.
I would really hope if they had more episode in the future to be able to satisfy me instead of the feeling as if they could be 3 season and it just stop short.

Kinetograph is an anime based off an otome visual novel. So, first and foremost, I think it's fair to say that it's more "promotional material" than "anime". That's the reason why most otoge-anime aren't ~good~: the plot jumps around to cover the different routes, the characters seems flimsy. Fans don't see enough of what they love and random viewers don't understand what's going on. It's no surprise, considering these +30h games are adapted into 4h series. Kinetograph itself is adapted into a 1h40 run. For those reasons, I try to watch otoge-anime with an open mind. In Kinetograph's case, I expected a sneak peek that would hype myselfup to read the VN. With it being an Otomate story + set in the Taishou era, I thought I'd enjoy immensely. I was reeeeally wrong.
The art was fine, the opening and ending songs were pretty nice, but the love interests...
Episode 1 was HARD to sit through. Yes, it's the Taishou era and yes, the Miyanomori are the rich upper class, while Haru/MC is *just* a maid. But I figured that, with this being an otome, we would be given reasons to like the brothers? To ship/romance them? Instead we get this snob bunch making Haru/MC's life hard for no reason at all and calling her "trash" ALL THE TIME. Susumu seems to be the gentle one out of the six, but he's basically nonexistant... Tae, the tsundere co-worker, seemed like a love interest much more than any of the brothers.
Episode 2 tries to make up for lost time and adds a bunch of silly bits and some romantic (?) scenes but, honestly, at this point I couldn't care less about it. The silver lining was that it did hint at a bigger political issue the game probably explores, but Haru/MC didn't seem involved in it at all, which was a disappointment.
In the end, I couldn't enjoy it one bit (even more knowing the score for this is higher than some of the other otoge-anime).
Before writing this, I did see some positive reviews of the game, but I figure that's all the more reason NOT to watch the anime - your interest might be snuffed out, like mine was.

So for the people that don't know whether to watch this or not, because of the 2 episodes, I'll give you the short answer... Don't waste your precious two hours on this anime. I'm telling you, it's not worth it. This anime had some potential that the writers threw out the door immediately. I think this by far the worst reverse harem I've ever watched. So I'll discuss two things in this review. Character and story. First of the characters. Let me just say, they had potential, but the writers just decided to not give any of the characters any sort of background story which made ithard for me to understand the actions of the characters. Also how suddenly all the guys fall head over heels for the MC just made me want to barf. I understood how some of them had romantic feelings for MC, but how in the end they all had some sort of feelings for her made me want to throw my computer across the room. So conclusion. None of the characters were thought through or had any sort of background that could make me feel compassionate towards them.
Second the storyline. This had some potential as well but got yeeted out of the window with its two episodes. I was faithful at first, thinking that it might all work out in the second episode. But damn was I wrong. You basically got left off with a half-finished ending that didn't make sense at all. I was truly disappointed by the ending.
The only good thing I have to say is that I found the OP and ED song enjoyable. Other than that this was trash of an anime that I definitely do not recommend. If you value time, then don't waste your two hours on this piece of junk.

Watched it in 2x speed and still feel like it's a waste of time. Love the animation & story setting but hate the characters developments, like how the brothers are cruel and full of themselves but then being illogically kind. Also hate the fact that the MC always cries and apologizes, and keep pushing her 'story' and 'situation' to others. I don't understand how her 'kindness' gone through the brothers and it doesn't make sense to me that she's like that when others are responsible doing their job (like, what makes MC so special? - nothing) Stopped half through the 2nd episode because the storydid not make sense to me. Tried to watch till the end, but I mostly skipped just because. Points just because the brothers are good looking in all attires.
