On his high school graduation day, Itsuki's cousin, Mahiru, tells him that she's pregnant. Just then, a gate of light emerges and transports the two into the world of Granvania. In this land, "Impurities" have been causing a disturbance to the Stars, ultimately plunging Granvania into chaos and disorder. And Itsuki, now revealed to be one who is fated to meet with the "Star Maidens," is seen as Granvania's last hope and was thus given the task to produce "Star Children" and combat the "impurities." And unless the task is complete, Itsuki may never be able to return home.

Conception is a harem anime where our main swagnator gets a mission to save the world. How does he do this then? By making a baby with every girl he meats, of course! The story is highly comedic and the writing mainly relies on episodic events where the swag-bro hits on new girl/girls just to commit "love-ritual" or, like a more poetic person would say, " fuck dem bitches." The girl variety is great (there is like 10+ of them) and all of them naturally fall for the bro-nator because he is such a hero. There is a girl with split-personality who is adorable, tannedcat-girl who is ridiculously sexy, and a cousin person too because how can man call himself a Man if he can't even make relatives suck his cock. Some other girls are pretty okay too, others less interesting.
The character design is rather unique and also varies greatly and most girls are more of the pure, comfy side since the series is more comedic than pushy fanservice. There is practically no ecchi which is great because that only shows how much harder it is for the mc to get these girls worship him and achieve his goals.
Production was okay. Girls did good job with their voice acting, blushy blushes were inserted to make the most crucial moments extra happy, etc. Smart decisions.
Enjoyment-wise, I found this series to be quite funny and cute. I honestly don't get what most people were expecting. In my opinion, series such as these should be judged based to what they aim to do, and as a harem series, this most definitely achieved everything it wanted to.

TL;DR Review Unwatchable, literally unwatchable. No one is insane enough to watch something like this. Where do I start? The plot is horrible, I mean, getting your cousin pregnant so that you can create babies to fight in a dungeon? The jokes aren't that funny; the raccoon flying creature thingy isn't funny. To be honest, it's kind of annoying. Heck, if this was hentai, it would be much more interesting. At least a 5; BUT IT'S NOT! The character development is horrible, the plot's terrible, and fight scenes are pretty lame. Main character doesn't know how to fight, but as soon as he touches a sword,he slays like goblin slayer going crazy in a cave. Hello? Makes no sense to me! Well whatever...

Damn. Seriously, God damn. Conception, you really made me wonder if there’s a ceiling of just how terrible a show can really be. I should say right off the bat that video game adaptations these days rarely make the break for an audience. But here we are in 2018 and we got a show about pregnancy. That’s right, a show that literally has a plot about pregnant characters and an insufferable protagonist. I have not played the original PSP exclusive game. There’s actually a remaster coming out for the PS4 but that’s not on my bucket list either. 2019 has way too many great games forme to care about this. But the real question is if you should give a damn about the anime adaptation known as Conception.
In the medical world, conception is pretty much the action of conceiving a child through. Bear in mind that the show is branded with this premise as it’s pretty much the selling concept. The catch now is that Itsuki has to form relationships with “Star Maidens” after being transported into this world known as “Granvania”. The show pretty much dedicates to Itsuki’s quest to produce Star Children in the hope of restoring order. I get it. The premise of the show is absurd and you may be confused on how to approach this. The simple answer is to just let go. I mean, let go of your inner thoughts and watch this with some popcorn. It’s pretty much a show that’s so bad that it has potential to be the worst of the year.
But damn, is it really as abysmal as it sounds? Maybe you should stop judging the cover and watch it with an open mind! I wish. Challenging myself to watch Conception is like taking on the second round of Fear Factor. It tested my mental limits to wonder how much I can watch this without puking. But it wouldn’t be fair to say that Conception is really the worst anime of the year. After all, it may have some potential with its cast of stars? Well, let’s take a look. The main protagonist is Itsuki Yuge, a high school student without a big goal in his life. There’s nothing remarkable about him until we find out his role early in this show. Not to mention, I could say Itsuki is like a puppet. He does the job assigned to him despite feeling conflicted. I should mention that Itsuki is a good person at heart but someone that doesn’t fit with a popular crowd. He’s pretty much just a normal guy with an abnormal task of forming relationships with the Star Maidens. This brings in the question of just how much we should expect his relationships will develop. The easy way to look at this is the plot structure. It has 12 episodes so naturally, common logic dictates that he’d get at least one episode with each girl. Well, not exactly. In some episodes, he tames not one but two! I’m not going to go into details but every episode’s title that has “child” in it should make them sound obvious.
The Star Maidens themselves consists of 12 different girls with each of their distinctive personalities. From whatever the creators had in mind, it seems every girl represents a textbook personality that you’ll recognize. Some like Mahiru is the typical friendly girl next door type. Others like Femiruna display a degree of aristocratic mannerisms because of their social status. We even have a girl with split personality in the form of Liris and Lirie. But I don’t think any of these really traits matter. The real question we should ask ourselves is if we should care about them. Quite frankly, it’s a big fat no. Let’s face it, this show not only has an intolerable plot but also suffers from pacing. The early episodes quickly dives into every character relationships in the most straightforward way possible. There’s no buildup, little emotions, and lack of charisma. Instead, we get Itsuki and his robotic-like dialogues that saturates the series. It gets painfully awkward to watch when we also get a mascot character taking the form of a talking bear. You may initially see as a cute addition to the show but don’t let a character like Mana fool you. Behind that cute flying animal’s appearance is perhaps the most perverted character in the entire series. It seems he tries to get every chance for Itsuki to commit to the Star Maidens in the most ludicrous way as possible. In some episodes, it seems Mana has developed a strange attraction towards Itsuki himself. At that point, I pretty much stopped questioning the logic of the show.
So a question emerges if there’s anything redeemable about Conception at all. Well, I wish. Gonzo is known for some of their more aesthetic works but from this show, you won’t see that. What you get instead is poor animation quality that looks like something from a hentai. I took a look at some footage from the original game and this anime didn’t make the characters look any better. It honestly looked like a show made in the PS2 era with outdated visual quality. And of course, sexual fantasies is all over the place. Expect a lot of scenes in the bedroom as it is part of the “plot”. Can you believe it? Conception has a plot! Normally, I’d make a joke about “watching this for the plot” but by the end of the show, that joke wouldn’t even be half funny.
After watching Conception, I probably also lost a good dozen amount of brain cells. I’m an avid fan of roleplaying games but Conception is pretty much the worst example of being in such a category. It could have been something to satirize the fan service norm or a cleverly crafted parody. What we get instead is an abomination buried by Gonzo and the insufferable character cast. I wish there was something positive to say about this anime honestly. But seriously, if you want to save some brain cells, then stay far away from this atrocity.

UPDATED REVIEW: Just a second, please don't judge me! I know what you must be thinking, why is some random stupid ass guy rating this anime 10. You must be thinking what is this guy smoking... Alright, alright stay calm. I'll give you a short summary of my review before you judge me. Spare me some of your minutes, won't take long - I hope. Story (4): I know it is a pretty shit story, like straight away out of nowhere Mahiru says she's pregnant. Uhm ok... That's a crazy start, now you wonder who's the lucky b*stard who impregnated her. Suddenly, like literary out of nowhere they getsent to another world. Oh boy, cliche Isekai shit right there. Once they reach another world, Mahiru confesses that there was no father of the baby and makes you wonder what drugs is she taking. No father??? How can that be possible? Another Jesus??? Then, it turns out there was no baby in the first place. It just some syndrome that similar pregnancy, like hello??? Who wrote this shit???
Then the main character gets told to mate with 12 Star Maidens which are all based on zodiacs including his cousin Mahiru to produce a Star Child and save the world. Hmmmm? Makes you think will this turn into Hentai or Borderline Hentai like Shinmai no Testament or Masou Gakuen HXH. Alright alright, calm down guys now is not the time. Before you get excited, listen to what I have to say, don't you dare skip this part!!! I guess this is where most people got their hopes up.
Majority of you must be thinking at this point about enjoying the lewd scenes. Guess what? You get fooled! They censor it using the curtains and weird shiny lights and chibis etc. All Itsuki requires to do is body contact with a Star Maiden and that's about it! Outta nowhere poof (that's the actual sound effect); a star child is produced. Like a grown up toddler appears outta nowhere. No need for intercourse or anything, a simple body contact is enough!!! Whoa... Mind blown!!! Are you still excited now??? Plus, as the episode progresses; you don't know what goes on behind the curtains... The story is so simple minded and cliche, but I think its good change to most anime adaption. If you are a person that don't expect much then you might as well watch this.
If not then sorry for wasting your time... Apologies for long paragraph for the story section too.
Art (8):
The Art was decent in my experience, the characters look pretty and background was nicely done too. I don't really sense much of laziness in art. Its fairly done. That's something nice done for this anime. I mean the story might be shit but you need a charm point as well on something.
Sound (10):
Conception reminds me of those type of anime or games where they invest more on the sound itself than the story. The OST was really nice to hear and relaxing. Every scene they had a particular OST, it synced perfectly. I am kinda bias since I watch it at night. I think you might change your perspective if you watch it at night. Maybe it just me but watching Conception at night may be better than watching at day or afternoon. Of course, many people sleep or do something else a night hehe... Lets not go into deep details. Anyway back to the the main topic, the sound is pretty well invested.
Regarding to the OP song, Starlight Starbright by nano is great song. It has a good tune to it, simply cannot skip this opening. Some of you must be fan of nano thinking her song is wasted on this shit anime. Its ok... It happens... It happens...
Character (8):
At least our main character isn't dense- well not too dense until last few remaining episode! Amazing right? My boy Itsuki doesn't hesitate or act too dense. He's doing all this baby making for the sake of the world! Plus, the racoon-bear mascot thing is damn hilarious, a pervy racoon which you could probably befriend with it. I would, to be honest ahaha. The 12 Star Maidens are also cute and pretty also references to the Art. Each Star Maidens have a unique personality you'll love. This may also relate to sound; the voice actresses all suit their character roles as well. Great job to Conception staff for hiring great voice actresses. Which is pleasant to see and hear.
Enjoyment (9):
I enjoy Conception despite it being a shit story, which starts up weird and then you already know how it will end or progress. It hilarious to see that, sometimes you just want an anime that gives no shit about the plot - not referencing most of Gintama (When will it end? Ahahaha. Keep it up Gorilla-sensei, don't end it now). Also, Mana (the racoon bear thing) makes the anime even more funny to watch. Mana says the weirdest things possible and sets up the most cliche plans for main character to hook up with the girls. I don't know, it's horrible but so interesting to watch... Thank you Mana... I liked the ending too, bit of a spoiler but it was expected ending. Last episode of Conception was literary a roller-coaster. It was nice ride I guess...
Overall (10):
I mean I have no right to complain about other people's opinion, since they are not right nor wrong. But in people's perspective this anime deserves a 6, yes I have seen other reviews that are given rating of 1 or 2 its harsh but its their opinion you shouldn't really hate them. Plus try watching this at night, I think it will give you a different experience or maybe not. Since no one can disturb you and you are relaxed setting up a pleasant experience.
Misc:
As some of you know I made a preliminary review before for Conception around episode 4 I guess, I'd like thank you again for rating my old review helpful. 79 found it helpful!!! To me that is a big accomplishment! Yesterday some person came to me and asked to update my review since it wasn't visible in the main page of Conception. I didn't really had intention to but his/her message was really great to hear. So here I am again!
Thank you very much for reading.

WTF did I just watched... Do you remember Spike Chunsoft, the same company that brought us the beloved Danganronpa and Mystery Dungeon series? Well...they also made this series, and left it in glorious Japan, where Nippons loved the hell outta it and got a sequel (released globally). And...to both shock and amazement, it actually was well-received! And, now we turn the clock to the series that is the well-trashy anime adaptation by Gonzo of the first game... The story from what I can tell is unchanged from the game itself: the player (or in this case, Visitor Itsuki Yuge) has to flirt with the 12 constellational girls (ermI mean, maidens, sorry...) in order to "give birth" to Star Children, which in turn, Itsuki takes them to seemingly random dungeons to fight evil beings known as "Impurities" to save the world of Granvania. Here's where the controversial divided opinion starts. Despite the Itsuki X constellational maidens set-up, they don't necessarily need sex in order to give birth, but "pour energy" (or the "Love Ritual") into these maidens so that their Star Children matches the powers that each maiden have to aid Itsuki in his quest. And...based on that aforementioned setup, it looks and feels like a censored hentai in almost every way (Heck, why NOT make this a hentai in the first place, that would be better!) Maybe it the "It's NOT an eroge" baby-making pitch that made people think otherwise, and in this unfortunate case, in the hands of School Days director Keitaro Motonaga and the people over at Gonzo. And...it's a trashy masterpiece in its own right that can be best matched up to the glory that is School Days itself.
I really don't give two Fs about the characters as well. For one, Itsuki Yuge the Visitor himself, not only was he being summoned to fight against the Impurities as the last hope for Granvania, but dragging along his cousin Mahiru, who seemed to be "pregnant" with his Star Child, and all the way through, he was there just for the sole mission of process-eliminating Impurities so that Granvania can be prosperous again. Otherwise, he's just bland, unlikeable and a sore thumb to look at. Same goes for the 12 constellational maidens, throughout the series we get some backstory about their lives, and it's for that reason that they exist to help Itsuki on the "give birth" side of things. (Spoilers) Not to mention that Alfie, being the extra maiden (literally "extra"), that was when the entire show took a nosedive for the worst. I'd appreciate her sense of literally being the caregiver for the Star Children, nurturing their growth so that Itsuki can utilize their powers to fend of evilwarts, but anything else than that, it's a direct rejection. Easily the most annoying is Mana the perverted sub-jestic raccoon whom is always acting for Itsuki's naughty and weird antics that it becomes a chore to listen to it everytime in relation to Itsuki. But thank God it's the final boss, and so to speak, defeating it is mission accomplished.
And...not to mention the almost drab looking art and animation. I know that Gonzo isn't one of the studios to count on for quality anime, but it at least presented a good chunk of art that's resemblance to the game aestethics itself. I have no idea how it comapres to the game, so for those who have played the game, judge and compare with your own eyes. Animation is very minimal for the most part, as it just involves some fighting action, mostly lustful love-sex moments and Mana's direct-indirect love-guru movements over and over in repeat.
And oh God the music. I've gotta say that the music really just subverts expectations of the show itself. Nano's OP is just as great, although her new song "Star light, Star bright" is a departure from her usual reprtiore of songs, she has indicated that this song is for the light happy moments, so good for her, it still is one to remember. Same goes with well established VA-cum-musician Manani Numakura with the ED as well. If there's an area of good impressions, it will always be the music, and it doesn't disappoint.
In the end, how I wished this was an eroge to begin with, when you have enough evidence of "giving birth", endless amount of flirting and whatnot, if it was designed that way it would have been a moderate success, just with more censoring. Alas, what we got was a series that had given its base up since the beginning, and as a result, created one of the most trashiest anime of the year. Stay far away from this one if you desire hentai levels of enjoyment, or not anime in general.
2Sym2Spin
Warning : This anime was made to be enjoyed drunk, and boy it is a ride. Postmodern Masterpiece, I especially liked the deconstruction of humor and genre. You never know what to expect until the crossover with Gurren Lagan and Puella Magi Madoka Magica. Everything from the start to the finish is great. At first the anime try to trick you into thinking it's some lewd fantasy and then it become clear right at the end of ep 1 that this won't be the case. Rather than that, the story is a commentary about the very notion of purity, it makes us rethink about the way we think aboutmen's relationships with women. However, to my surprise, this anime is not about feminism, no, it doesn't get political in any way and manage to keep its purity right until the end.
The way the characters are handled is also pure genius : Most of the cast don't get any character development. While some may think about this simply as lazy writing, it's not the case, rather, the lack of character development is the point, it's a part of the show. You see, it is not a story about a protagonist nor is it a story about the maidens. Rather, this show tells us something about how vain the very concept of personality is. You do not need a personnality to care for others, nor do you need one to enjoy the company of your loved ones.
I'm a big fan of Conception and as such I proudly say that after seeing the whole show, I can't remember a single human character and that's how it was meant to be.
The art is perfect fot this piece of art, I've never seen such a generic artstyle elsewhere, it really helps the public to understand that things do not need to be sublime or even unique to be appreciated. Same with chara-design : We would not be able to understand how meaningless the characters actually are (which again, is the point) if we were able to actually tell them appart from the background.
Some people will tell you that the quality of animation is lacking. While this take has some credit to it, the only things it tell you is how ignorant those people are. Did you even take a look at the staff ? The art director is the hugely famous Yoshimi Mineta, which is notably known for his work in High School DxD, trust me, if the point was to make top quality animation, he could have, and he WOULD have.
You have to understand : The use of frames with double drawings is minimalist as a criticism of consumerism and productivity, and the close-up to not show facial expressions nor the mouth is parsimonious.
I could write another paragraph telling you about how the soundtrack clearly does an amazing job, but I think most people who watched this masterpiece get the point : It's not great, however it manages to make you wonder about the mysteries of human relationships on his own, without the need for context, which is actually great because most of the time you won't understand the context behind most of the scenes. (Which I'll have you know, is a commentary about the way the omniscient spectator in generic anime has way too much knowledge about the world the protagonists live in)
All in all, I enjoyed Conception to the fullest and would absolutely recommend it to anyone with an open mind.

When one guy says that this was more of a " baby-making JRPG series" then he's very much right, cu'z this is what this anime for.....the plot in more simplistic term just suck, it just a guy from another world with his cousin who arrive in some place called "Granvania" that has all the magic and tech and yet has to rely on an ordinary guy to do the fighting for them. From there , it becomes a guy having to supposed make babies called "Star Children" from each girls who represent certain constellation, what make it worse was the addition of a 13th constellationthat should even exist , man them Japs alawys have the stupid notion that adding an extra would make the story plot good , like what they did with Rokka no Yuusha where there should be 6 heroes but they added a 7th which makes the anime's title a sham.......The only thing good about this anime was the eye candy around here and yes they're the harem members, that compose of 3 MILFs , 3 Lolis and 4 same age girls, oh and let's not forget the girl that used to be a plushy. I would have given this anime a 7 if the guy ends up with his cousin and them girls and star children stayed behind and lets not forget the addition of a 14 harem member that used to be a talking flying plushy that become a human girl right after it followed the harem to the guy's world. Ya know I really soo hate this anime that mentioning the characters name is like calling me names. So no more BS and here is how I rate this shit.
Story: pathetic 1: One of studio Gonzo's worse anime after Rosario + vampire.
Art: Good 7- It was the only silver lining in this anime cu'z of the eye candies.
Sound: fair 6- Coz' I don't give a fuck as to who did who.
Character: pathetic 1- Like I've said I sooooo hate this anime and the character that mentioning it was just like bad words.
Enjoyment: Pathetic 1- Very predictable and you only need to watch the 1st 3 episodes and the last 2 episodes, everything else , U jaz skip.
Overall: Pathetic 1- This would have been better off as a hentai than anything else. Hate to say it , but this was probably director Motonaga Keitarou's worse project ever.
Merry Christmas.

Conception is an anime that transcends being not bad, not so bad it's good or just decent but it transcends to a place where I've seen no other Anime go (yet). Despite this anime being so bad it doesn't register on the scale for awfulness, it given me some good. After watching this anime and getting sucked into it's black hole of awfulness, I've started to put my life under the microscope, and it's inspired me to finally climb out of this chasm, go to the gym and lose 600 pounds. As of today, I have a six pack, a job and a girlfriend. Evidently,watching this anime has changed my life, and I believe showing this to other people like your Mom or Dad could make even accelerate the cure for cancer, coronavirus and save the world from climate change.

Not A Show For The Faint Of Heart This show is one that makes you question why it even exists and why the hell you are watching it at all. This show is very much an obvious parody of harem anime. With its rushed nature, absurd plots, and cringe everything. This show makes your stomach turn. That being said it is for sure not meant to be taken seriously. Many jokes did land with me near the end of the show but I will admit that subjecting myself to this was one of the worst things I have ever done. I understand it'sexistence. I need time to accept this abhorrence.
Xestri
I watched this show in 2020 and no hate if you like this show. But for me, I must admit this is honestly still the worst show I have watched completely thus far. Once I was finished with it, I ended up feeling bad I hadn't just dropped it. Guess my drive to watch isekai's at the time kept me wanting to see it through. But in all honesty, for me, this was so bad, watching it made everything feel dull immediately after. Like when you feel extremely bored, and can do nothing about it because everything seems tasteles. But if you are wondering if youshould give this a shot, I wouldn't, but then again, not everyone has the same tastes as me, and I wont judge you even if your opinions differ from mine.

These are the exact steps to watch this anime without wasting any of your precious time: 1. Pick a random episode and look for the opening. (Episode 1 has the opening song at the ending, so try to pick a different episode to minimize the amount of time you waste). 2. Listen to the opening. 3. Like the opening? Find that song on your music app/download it and add it to your playlist. 4. Repeat steps 1-3 but with the ending instead. 5. Now get out of there and stop wasting your time on this anime! As you can tell, the only thing I actually enjoyed from this anime was itsopening and ending songs, everything else that happens in this show is completely unentertaining (unless you have the humor of a child) and has literally no well-written plot or character development. The art is incredibly mediocre and don't even think for a second that you will get a single animated fight. At best it'll look like a PowerPoint Presentation running at 1-5 FPS.
The bottom line is: Listen to the songs and don't ever come back. Your time is precious and should not be wasted on this.
Kuriko-san
Story in this anime is typical harem cliché. Main character needs to date different girls in order to save the world. The only good part of it are the jokes and parodies. Art is pretty mediocre and a bit outdated. Nothing really special about it. Music is very good, especially the opening and ending songs (Desires permanently stayed in my music playlist). Characters design is interesting, but the characters themselves are rather typical. Let's be honest. This is NOT a good anime and you will be able to enjoy it only if you will treat it as a comedy. Then this anime shines the mostas it's one of the best purposefully bad anime I saw. I never laughed so much in my life.
So, if you want to watch something laughably bad, then this anime is a perfect guilty pleasure material.

InferGilgamesh
A world in crisis, Twelve girls, one forced destiny, Romance feels so fake. Thin like morning mist, Characters lack all meaning, No depth, no real soul. Battles? What battles? Monsters like bad CGI,No tension at all.
Love with no feeling,
Forced affection, hollow bonds,
Cringe at every turn.
A hero so bland,
No charm, no wit, just exists,
Why must he be here?
Plot twists? Not really,
A cycle of dull repeats,
Nothing has impact.
Fate of the world rests,
On a love with no passion,
Who thought this was good?
From game to screen, fails,
Somehow worse than source itself,
Should have stayed obscure.
Skip this, save yourself,
Time is precious, do not waste,
Let this one just fade.

The only thing that I actually like about this show is that I finished it. The story featured in this anime is so dog-shit, I honestly found it amusing. I never thought that in my life a show this bad would be released. The story is based around a guy who has to have sex with every girl in the god damn plot line to win. That's about all I got from this show. It's sad that not even one of the characters could support the plot line either, every single character was like an empty shell. This show is not attractive ecchi, it's the type of storyI would hear during a stand up comedy.
Like a company actually put money into making this anime, it's hard to think someone was paid to produce this piece of shit.
lkevsan
WARNING: This is a big rant and contains spoilers of the show. Hope you can enjoy the review. Growing in the mid-2000s, I believe some of you still watched anime thanks to that magic box called Television. One of the channels that I remember the most was a channel called Animax. Animax brought a lot of shows from Gonzo, things like Black Cat, Saikano, The First Hellsing, Gantz, Burst Angel, you named it, Gonzo had their name slapped on the credit sequences. After a long time, I haven’t heard about those guys lately so I decided to check out if they even were still active andthey still are, and it seems that they put out one of the worst shows from last year, although knowing the fact that I watched Ladyspo In its entirety, I doubt that there would be something worst that came out in 2018 but it surely does make a competition.
The first thing I must say from this animation is that Conception has to be one of the dumbest premises I have ever heard. The premise is that these 2 teenagers who are cousins and whose names I forgot because of how godawful this show is, are transported to this next dimension. Yeah, we start with this trend of going to another dimension like if it is something revolutionary in these days when things like Digimon already did it 2 decades ago and other shows even before Digimon did it too. So, our main protagonist arrives, and some demon spirit comes out of his cousin and a sword comes from him and he defeats the demon without issues.
After the fight it is revealed that the seals that appeared on them showed up because the cliché of you are the chosen ones to save our world. But he can not do it alone, and the reason is because, again the power up in this show is so idiotic.
He must have sexual relationships with these 12 girls, and one of them being his cousin, these other girls also have these seals so he could breed kids called stellar children and they will protect the city because some labyrinths are causing troubles in this world. First thing I must say:
THIS PREMISE IS SO STUPID!!!
And after the unbearable first episode the show makes a big U-turn in the next episodes because the producers of this forgot what the main focus of the story was or maybe I am missing something for not playing the game, but it turns out that expecting the main protagonist fighting with a sword and the Star Children it was just a clickbait and the show becomes this stupid harem about how our protagonist seduces all those 12 girls, oops I mean 13 because there is one that changes personalities if she gets hit on the head.
I have to say this
WHY WASN’T THIS A HENTAI?
If this was a hentai, I wouldn’t have wasted my time in watching this because it tries to be a hentai so hard. They put so much effort into “developing” these relationships for you to see the protagonist and the girls getting into it. Really this is the type of crap Studio Seven should be producing and not Gonzo who has done Welcome to the NHK for god’s sake.
And you have it all here, you have trios, you have bondage, you have lolicon with food fetish, you have furry girls, you named it, heck and with Japan always you must add incest with this sort of crap.
Another thing I must add to this show is that self-awareness doesn’t make a show instantly funny. This talking tanuki-bear thing has to remind us every time that if we don’t understand anything, we must enter to their website to get all the glimpse of the parts we don’t understand. That is just a big fail in my book for even trying to engage with the viewer.
After the protagonist finishes with his quest with the 12 girls there is revelation that there is another one that he must bang and that girl is the one that is taking care of all the children he had, and that idiot tanuki pulls out a horrible Deadpool wanna be like: “Didn’t you watch the opening sequence, it was obvious!!!”
The way they try to do comedy is simply awful and cringy to even make you have a chuckle with this arse of dialogue. This show is stupid that they even advertise themselves with the cover of the PS4 game appearing on the same show.
So you develop an anime to advertise a game but within the animated advertisement you decide to add the game itself?
Honestly why these video game companies can't make a very good animated advertisement of the games they want to sell instead of these poor adaptations that go nowhere and simply add more trash to the over saturation anime has?
Also they had an episode where they do a copy and paste the Bachelor and I am just wondering, does this town even need to be saved if they have time for doing this reality tv crap?
One more thing from this show is that they added a filler episode about finding this 13th person, because the protagonist wasn’t sure if it could a male or a female but the tanuki tries to pull off a “It’s just a prank dude” to just say the 13th person is the girl that kindergardens the stellar children.
Who wrote the script for this? Did they even checked what the hell they were writing?
The worst part from this show are the characters but one of them that really I wanted to grab a gun and freaking shut his mouth was the Tanuki. Oh My Gawd, this thing is a pain to the ears. This character is the definition of a try hard comedian. He is like those boys at school that find about something related to sex and they tell the same joke over and over and over until someone shuts them. This character was created so desperately to make you laugh but fails miserably with the poor attempts of self-awareness, 4th wall and sex jokes.
The main protagonist is simply a fuckboy, he at first thinks that this compromise is hard for him and thinks that is not great to have sexual relationships with his cousin at first but then the character goes on a 360 and doesn’t care anymore and he will do it with anything and I mean it ANYTHING, he does so much that in the end he has relationships with the freaking tanuki. Yeah there is even bestiality in this thing.
Finally, the girls, and the only thing I can say is that they are sex objects. Sorry but no sorry this is what they do in the show, they are bland as hell and you can only remember for their unidimensional characteristics and maybe their zodiac signs but that’s it. I can’t say more of uncharismatic characters.
The art and animation are simply boring. It is so below average; the faces all look the same except with different colors. The Stellar Kids look like retarded forms of Yokai Watch characters. The backgrounds are lifeless, and the pseudo battles we have in this show are quick and without action. The only thing that they seemed to waste the animation was on the ending credits with annoying tanuki moving in a weird way, which I could say it is the only good thing from this crapfest. Honestly Gonzo what happened to you? Even if you did crap like Rosario + Vampire the freaking art style and animation was beautiful, How did these guys get so low in the animation industry?
The music is also so out of touch. They throw melodramatic songs here and there, but it feels so forced because the characters being so simplistic doesn’t help with the situations they are and the voice actors can’t redeem these characters, they sound so boring and they just tell the stuff without emotion, nothing, you could replace it with text to speech program and you could make these characters have a soul that they don’t have and the credit songs are generic as hell that you want to skip just to not make the pain longer.
The ending is a big middle finger for trying to have drama. So our main protagonist has to sacrifice himself to save this not dangerous town from a monster in a labyrinth and he needs the help of the 13 girls and the 13 children, but the 13th girl dies so he gets a boost in power by doing a Maximum Evolution like in Digimon Tammers and he combines himself with the children to become an abhorrent copy of Gallantmon and they save this world but the Stellar Children also die in that sacrifice, so he goes back home with his cousin but all the girls follow him and even the girl that died for some reason that I don’t know comes back to life, simply I give up in trying process the plot of this thing.
My final thoughts on Conception. This is a poor attempt on making someone play the game. Honestly if this supposed to be an RPG then why don’t you show the action of it instead of this “I must have all the waifus max out excrement? Everything is so dull but so annoying. I even had to reproduce the final episodes in 2x faster because it was intolerable to watch this in complete 24 minutes.
This is everything from my part. This is kevsan, thanks for taking your time in reading this. English is not my first language but I try my best.

Conception is the shittiest anime of 2018 (and remember, this year also had Pop Team Epic). But I need to be fair: watching the show was an unforgettable, incredible mindblowing experience. The truth is, it's an awful anime. The plot is absurd, the rules are constantly changing, the sexual jokes are awfully bad, and nothing makes sense. On a technical note, the animation starts correctly, but drops steadily down to the point where it's not even animated anymore. So how come I enjoyed it? What's enjoyable? The main point is, the show is incredible and mindblowing because it's highly unpredictable. The whole thing is, the show tries itsbest to imagine the most absurd way to put two people together in a bed. And when I say "absurd" I mean "having the man wear a costume of sausage and the girl wear a costume of hot-dog bread", or making a whole TV show inside the universe for the MC to pick a girl with sushi degustation, to decide with who he will have babies with. Yeah I didn't talk about it because it's not really important anyway, the MC needs to have babies with lots of females characters by spending a night in a bed with them (and, like, cuddle, no sexual intercourse) but honestly that's completely besides the point.
Then, what I listed in the beginning are minuses when you're talking about an true anime, with people that want to give a real show to their audience. I respect that. But it's not the project here. Here, it's clear that no one, not a single human being in the studio, give a fsck of what's going on. Instead of watching an anime, you're watching the byproduct of a whole team in the middle of their delirium.
The scene makes no sense? Let's use it twice! Three times! Four times and let's cut it in the middle of it because we know no ones gives a shit. Who cares at that point if characters are not even closing/opening their mouth when talking, let's just skip these frames and keep their mouths open. Let's move that racoon up and down along a straight line, who cares. Let's scribble that scene like it's on fscking MS PAINT. And the beauty of it is, not only do the animators not give a shit of what they're doing, but so do the characters. It's not like they break the 4th wall, there's none to begin with. It's just, hey the studio doesn't care so why should we?
Honestly, it is the worst show of the year, but somehow ends up being so insane, so unpredictable, that it gets fascinating and (if you're like me) hilarious to watch. If you share the mindset of madness the show offers, try it. Don't trust the beginning too much, it really takes off after several episodes. But you'll never forget it, that's for sure.

In Another World to get Pregnant...what thhhhee ffffffffff- Conception is the anime adaptation of the video game by the same name, where Mahiru voiced by Emiri Katou and Itsuki voiced by Yuuki Ono both get transported to another world called Granvania where Impurities reside in the dungeons. Itsuki named a "Visitor" now must meet and *ahem* seduce the Star Maidens to produce Star Children who will combat the Impurities in order for Mahiru and Itsuki to go back to their world...still with LA? Yeah....so Conception has two major elements about itself to make itself...*ahem* quote unquote "quirky", that of it's harem aspect of Itsuki wooing the respectiveStar Maidens of the episode and then afterwards the dungeon crawling aspect to defeat the Impurities. The thing is Conception seems to favour one over the other, that of Conception favouring it's harem elements more than it's dungeon crawling one, heck they gloss over Itsuki's progress in the dguneon and for this anime being essentially an advertisement for the video game itself, omitting the GAMEPLAY element of it is...worrying. But how does the harem element fair...well...
Well with the harem element focusing on the respective Star Maiden of each episode and by the end of it producing the Star Children, well it's "something" like character focus (it's not development...LA will just point this out there), Conception's harem elements are pretty cliche to say the least even to the point of the certain meta character Mana voiced by Yurin being self aware about it and pushing Itsuki to these cliches, yes some of the Star Maiden's episodes take an interesting quirky turn but most of the time, it's cliched yet somewhat self aware of it's cliches thanks to Mana...does it do the cliche well?...well maybe just "ok" levels is the best way to say it.
Character wise, LA never really was invested in ANY of the characters, yes some people might latch onto Mana being the meta character and making fun of situations and everything but Mana having a filthy mouth and our mascot character....ehhhh LA wasn't really feeling it but LA can guess why some people would have. No LA really never got invested in the majority of the characters, maybe cept Arie voiced by Aya Endou but that's only because by default she's LA's star sign so that really wasn't saying much and maybe Alfie voiced by Ai Kakuma and she was a minor character who get a fairly decent development and screentime near the end of the anime, that and her quirky personality helped. If LA couldn't even remember the name characters name let alone ANY of the harem member's name...well we got a problem in investment. Conception really rams in the harem element but outright does a bad job of it, quirky yes but good?...not so much and that effects it's characters immensely.
In terms of animation by Gonzo, well the animation is pretty decent and consistent, everything down to the character designs and backgrounding are pretty decent...and even the PG-13 sex is somewhat decently handled and mostly done for comedy anyways. Other than that, there wasn't much to talk about the animation besides the animation was consistent and decent all the way through.
For voice acting well it's actually pretty good, even if the voice cast are casted as stereotypical characters...for the most part. Yurin as Mana was pretty annoying but being the main comedy focus of the entire anime, she had the most screentime thus as much as LA didn't like Mana, LA will at least give props to Yurin. Kana Asumi as Lirie, Aya Endou as Arie, Yukiyo Fujii as Yuzuha, Ai Kakuma as Alfie and maybe Yuriko Yamaguchi as Reone was also notable. Voice cast was at least decent.
The finale does get serious as it gets with an "end of the world" situation and Itsuki being put up for a sacrifice but by the end of it and once again Alfie gets put in the spotlight again, well she is the most developed character in the entire cast so LA didn't mind it. but for what the ending did...ehhh LA was ok with it even if they rushed it in the sense of tying the littlest of subplotlines up as well as the final decision by Itsuki. The finale was just...."mehhhh".
Conception has alot of failing elements towards it even with so much focus towards it's main strengths, it's harem element severely detriments it's already bland stereotypical characters even more, it's dungeon crawling aspect is hardly touched upon, animation and voice work is merely decent and it's all under the cover of this being a quirky "transported into another world" but with "pregnancy" of all things. LA doesn't outright hate Conception, but it has it's huge problems that just didn't cut it for LA, it's a close "soo bad it's good", but more or less it's just bad...with some redeeming qualities unironically. Conception has it's quirky charm and you watching it to see how weird of a premise like this is executed that takes itself with a cup of self awareness salt then be LA's guest to watch this What the Fuckery-like anime where it takes itself but for LA...Conception isn't the worst anime for Fall 2018,, it was close though, but it's an anime that doesn't do itself many favours and just doesn't know what to do in using it's source material to it's fullest potential but even then LA doesn't think Conception didn't want to be at it's fullest potential and more or less wanted to literally screw around with it's bland characters to be "quirky" instead and be self aware of it.
Ohh LA's got it...Baby March to the Parallel World Rhapsody!

I wouldn't dare to say that Conception is good, because that's obviously not the case. It is, however, quite misunderstood and hated way beyond what it deserved. Conception is, plain and simple, an over-the-top and absurd parody of harem fiction. It nearly never treats itself seriously and simply does not function if you're looking for ecchi, romance or even traditional comedy. It's funny through absurdity, cringe, misplaced popcultural references and deeply uncomfortable plot developments that together made you question how anyone was insane enough to write it down, and especially to make it into an anime. If you ever expect it to follow some kind oflogic, unironically strive for cohesive storytelling, or even deliver some sexy times without inserting some deeply unsettling elements, you'll be beyond disappointed. But if you embrace the insanity, it can actually be a very fun and unusual experience. Clunky, obnoxious and pervy in all the off-putting ways, but just too outlandish to not leave you with some kind of strong impression. You'll either love it, or hate it with a burning passion – and I'm personally firmly in the "love" department.
So, are you ready to make some magical children through way-less-sexy-than-they-sound "love rituals"? You should probably either way – in my adventure with anime, I haven't seen a show this unjustly vilified, so keep an open mind and give it a try.

This is legit the worst anime I've ever seen in my entire disgusting live. Nothing can beat this shit in terms of having basically the worst plot, the worst animations and the worst character design I've ever seen. Plot: Looking at the plot, there is no plot Animations: I have never seen people talking without moving their mouths as much as in Conception. Character Design: Every "Maiden" has 2 brain cells and the MC is a disgusting clownSo if you want to keep your last 3 brain cells that got you on the mal page of conception, please don't touch this unholy piece of junk. If you're trying to tell me that there are really people that think that this is "good", https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zr7FbHqreNE
