Shukufuku no Campanella, a series which I thought had a lot of potential but it just turned into something really boring. Like a lot of anime series, there isn't really plot that is developed until the final episodes. It starts off by introducing the characters in the first episode, which I don't have a problem with. After the introduction of each character the main hero Leicester finds a girl called Minette who wakes up and calls him papa. Each episode the characters would go on a little adventure whether it was fighting monsters or mining for jewels (I think). The problem is eachepisode usually feels boring and dragged because of the lack of any development whatsoever. I don't mind a series with no plot because there are a lot of those kinds of series out there. However a lot of those series either have a lot of comedy to them or have some kind of development to make it interesting.
Another reason why this series felt so boring were because of the characters weren't all too good. Each episode would focus on certain characters which is good for developing characters. However I felt very little development within the characters. None of the characters attached to me either because none of them seemed unique. The main hero seems like he has no flaws which limits the character development. There are romantic interests that fly around but none of them develop either. In my opinion the twins are the best characters this series has to offer because they are somewhat unique and sometimes they make me laugh.
The art and animation is really stunning. The colors fit the mood of the anime and the battle scenes (when they actually do happen) are really detailed. The town actually looks really detailed as well
The sound is also quite good too. The voice actors really match the character they're playing and the opening was pretty upbeat which really suits this anime
I really wanted to watch this series before it aired because fantasy is a genre which is rarely used today. I thought it was gonna be something unique and it had a lot of potential too because it was different. However it turns out I shouldn't have watched this after all. Thanks for reading.

My rating uses the actual words given by MAL. Hence, a 5 is average and a 7 is good. My goal is to be as unbiased as possible so i suggest reading the review rather than looking at my rating to make your choice. -This is a Harem, but not a romance. As you can tell from the genre box. However, don't despair if this is not your cup of tea. The main focus of the show is not of winning over each girl, and in fact rarely plays into the plot. -Fanservice is relatively minimal. Surprisingly, there are a few episodes that do not contain any at all.In most it is usually delivered in one or two obvious service focused scenes. However, you can expect Minette to be innocent and moé to supplement for this.
-Leicester is not an average lead.
Unlike most of the failures in our harem shows, Leicester is a breath of fresh air. Not only reliable, he can kick butt relatively well. Essentially, he is a smart character who is actually useful. This also means he is not exactly dense. Plus, he is more on the side of a Bishounen. However, i would not claim him to be an exceptional character.
-Expect lots of happiness.
The animation is always bright, shiny, and warm. You can expect to take any dramatic moments lightly due to the animation and to be quickly resolved.
-This show suffers from last minute plot.
The theory goes that: If a show has focused around unimportant events with no relation, then they will try to stuff in an ending arc. In Campanella's case it results in a friendship conquering adversity and saving the world.
-Don't expect much adventuring and questing.
Despite the fact that the Campanella is tasked with accepting and accomplishing quests, don't expect anything special. There might be less than 5-6 battle scenes in total, but animated pretty well when there are. Otherwise you will spend your time following Minette tour the town getting groceries, or solving lame puzzles.
-No character development.
Pretty straightforward. Some exceptions are Minette making choices on her own and learning everything since her life experience is relative to a newborn. If you looked at the rest of the cast, at both the start and the end, they did not mature at all.
-Low comedic value.
I give a warning that it is hard to make me laugh. I give props to the side characters Ritos and Salsa for making me smirk though; they are not bad characters, and their' pokémon' Golem is always interesting to listen to. I have to say an exception would be laughing at the ridiculousness of the last episode.

In a world powered by a magical substance called Ale, Leicester Maycraft is a technician working for the adventurous Oasis clan. He and his comrades take jobs helping others in various ways, usually involving stopping Ale-powered "Crystal Monsters." Leicester is living the life, surrounded by a good amount of lovely girls who are always willing to shove themselves in front of him for his attention. Alas, this wonderful world made possible by the abundance of Ale is being threatened by the flow of the Ale itself... Shukufuku no Campanella is interesting. No wait, that's a lie. It's incredibly boring. Sukufuku is an adaptation of an ero-visualnovel, but you would probably never be able to tell this from the anime itself. As a result of the sudden change of direction, everything about Shukufuku feels half-baked and strangely maneuvered.
The characters themselves are not exceptional. We have the childhood friend, Carina; the loli, Minette; the modest warrior, Chelsea; the outgoing girl, Agnes; the opposite twins, Salsa and Ritos; and the slightly airheaded one, Garnet. There is very little if any development of any of these characters except for Minette, and only because she is a central part of the overarching story. As a result, all of the characters are left flat and uninteresting, rarely venturing outside of their individual archetypes that everyone has seen before. Ritos and Salsa do have their moments, however. They have amazing chemistry and I found myself enjoying the segments where they were the focus very much. Unfortunately, as they are not actually part of Clan Oasis, they were not around as often as the rest of the characters, and their parts were usually used as transitions from one half of an episode to another.
The story itself was also quite conventional. The basis of everything seemed to be to defeat the monsters as they appeared, which is all good and well for an adventure anime. The monster designs seemed bland, though, and the fight scenes were not particularly phenomenal or even memorable. The final fight was an exception to this in a way; it was fairly exciting and had me wishing more of the show was like this. The story's progress at the end, on the other hand, seemed to fall apart. It felt like much was skipped in order to fit all the events into one episode, and the puzzle and "Spirit Bomb" ending did not help make this any better.
Now, being based on an eroge visual novel, there would of course be plenty of fanservice. And there was, but it was toned down to become a bit awkward in most situations; most of the time I felt like the swimsuit stills and other various fanservice scenes were inserted just because there was no other fanservice in that episode and they didn't bother coming up with some sort of transition to most of it. In order to avoid this, much of the fanservice was placed in parts about Ritos and Salsa, further reducing their status as characters with any sort of real meaning in the story. Finally, as the scenes involving sex and actual nudity obviously had to be taken out to work in anime form, scenes that lead to these parts felt only half-done. The biggest perpetrator of this to me was when Leicester was putting Chelsea to bed after her party was compromising to say the least - not that there was much they could do to prevent that outside of removing the scene completely.
Overall, there is simply nothing outstanding about Shukufuku, and the things it tries to do it does averagely or below averagely. If you are a fan of shallow adventure stories with a bit of fanservice, then this may very well be the show for you. But it certainly didn't do much for me at all.

Alright, a review of Blessing of the Campanella! *rubs hands together eagerly* I'm actually a little surprised in myself for actually making this review, but I just recently finished it and I thought it at least deserved a mention of some kind. This was not a groundbreaking anime, nor was it an absolutely horrid one. Story: One thing I liked about the story was its setting. Sometimes I'm a sucker for fantasy, which I did not know would be involved in this. So seeing the 'Shouseki Monsters' appear, and the group stepping up to the plate to kick some Crystallized demon butt was actually pretty cool. Itstarts off with the re-awakening of a young automaton girl named Minette. The concept of an automatan is basically that of a robotic human which is related to the 'Eru' that flows in the city. That being said, they really did not elaborate on the purposes of automatan. Minette seemed to act like a normal young girl, so she didn't perform anything particularly special (even up until the very end.) There also was only maybe 2 or 3 automatans in the entire series: I mean you'd think these things would be important, but I guess not. *shrugs* Alongside this, the real problem did not present itself until the 7th episode, which annoyed me as its about halfway. The last 4 episodes were the most enjoyable of the series for me, so it wasn't entirely fast-paced either. 5 overall.
Art: I'll admit, it was the art that first drew me into watching this show. I looked at the promotional picture and thought, "This looks like a really cute and enjoyable anime." I didn't think it looked like anything amazing, but something to just kick back and relax to. This vibe was executed well with the art, and though the designs weren't the most original of things, I enjoyed it. They also made a good decision when they put in different animations for the ending in the last 4 - 5 episodes. 7!
Sound: The songs used in this grow on you very quickly. For a majority of the episodes they stick with using one opening (which is fairly catchy.) In one episode they switch openings, and I liked the new one a lot! Weirdly enough it was only for one episode, so that was disappointing. I might want to have these songs on my iPod to listen to occassionally, but its nothing that could get stuck in your head for months on end. In total, I rank it 7!
Character: Campanella certainly presents forth a lot of interesting characters for the audience to meet. You have a small cheerful automatan girl, a male love interest with almost no flaws, a young sorceress, a shy swordswoman who has no sense of direction, twin sisters (named after salsa and chips), very energetic adults and two people with a goal that proves to be the problem by episode 7. While I didn't love all of these characters, I did enjoy a great number of them. Chelsea's bits about getting lost were entertaining, Ritos and Salsa were decent comic relief at times (and their Golem was an all-around great machine), Minette was too adorable and even Carina was a cool character to see on screen, what with her awesome magical abilities and complete jerk of a magical broomstick (er... broom paddle?) That being said, though they were each unique in their own way, they didn't leave a huge impression on me. Lets just say that of I had to choose a favorite character, it would be Golem. Yes, Golem; a walking wall of a machine with little dialogue over all of those other characters. (But he was still awesome in his own way.) Thus, I give this another 7.
Enjoyment: I was originally watching this series as each episode aired weekly, but I kept it on hold after awhile and got back to other shows. In short, its pace was very slow. I was mentally snoozing by my desk at 2 pm when I hit episode 5. However, all things considered, I did enjoy this anime. It ended up how I thought it was going to be: short and sweet. Something to watch and relax, you know? The ending also had a big impact on me; even for me to up my final score of the anime by one point. For Enjoyment, 6!
Overall: Overall, I'd say this is a 6. Decent: not amazing nor absolutely horrid. Its got good music, interesting enough characters and nice (while not completely original) artwork. Watching this reminded me of watching Chobits back in the day, as the plots and atmospheres are slightly similar. I'd say I liked Chobits more than Campanella for the better-executed story, but they're very similar.
If you're looking for something that has all of the previous things mentioned above along with a bit of fanservice (its not horded onto you, thank goodness) and won't make your brain melt from being confused, I recommend this. =]

reason i made this review: so i was on nhentai, and i stumbled upon this nice doujin with a buxom blonde mage lady and lo and behold, i started having flashbacks of me in my formative years beating it to CG's from a VN called Blessing of the Campanella, which featured a rather attractive buxom blonde mage lady. and i watched the show, and the rest is history. this show is the worst fucking anime i've ever watched. not in that it's a terrible show in production quality, etc, but it's terrible because it's so, so, so, so bland and mediocre and just fucking BORING. it'slike if it was parodying the fantasy anime genre....but there was no comedy, and it wasn't self aware.
it's just so horrendously bland and literally the only reason why anyone should even consider blessing of the campanella, is if they're considering the VN
which, by the way, is good. why? because it has really good fucking h-scenes, that's why. so why did they take THE ONLY FUCKING REDEEMING QUALITY FROM THIS SHITPILE AND MAKE IT INTO A GODDAMN FULL LENGTH ANIME
don't watch this. who in their right mind would even consider watching this absolutely derivative and trite stain on the ground anyway, just watch re:zero or some other seasonal trash; surely even danmachi has more originality and charm than this sugary, cookie-cutter used tampon

As far as this story goes, I'd say that the entire thing is focus on the adventures of Minette, a moving doll that look like an average young girl that has emotions and can think for herself (like Pinocchio), who has come to life because of some powers emanating from falling meteors and just like a young goose hatching immediately identifies Leicester Maycraft as his "PAPA." About the art, I have no qualms about it so I give it a 6 as in fair enough to be appreciated, same with the sound, I kinda like the opening theme. As for thecharacters, well, I don't have any qualm about their attire, given that the setting is in an alternate world, were people live in harmony with each other, with nature and with the supernatural ( I wish it's like that in reality). But, I can never understand as to "WHY" does the artist of this anime made Nick La'juck wore a white suit which is something from the discotheque of the 70's that make him look more like a pimp that a warrior and what's with the swords that Chelsea and her holy knights wield, the tip kind of resembles like a nipple of sorts, you might say every sword in this anime has that kind of tip, oh well, I guess the author/ artist simply just wanna add some humor in it ( I think). Anyway, I like that way Carina Verritti dress up as a gorgeous mage, same with Chelsea whether she's in her Holy Knight uniform, in a french maid outfit or naked in the hot tube, I also like the 2 naughty sisters, Ritos and Salsa Tortilla for their some what kinky but wholesome fashion senses. So overall I give the characters an 8 as in "VERY GOOD" (for the ladies that is, especially in a scene were the ladies are in the bath). The enjoyment of this anime would be very suitable for a middle school kid if the scene from the bath were removed, so a "FAIR" rate is in order, overall I'd say that this anime if fair to be watched both by kids and grown-ups who would be doing the supervision.
Trivia: The first humanoid automata was designed bu an Arabic astronomer/ poly mathematician Al-Jazari during the Islamic Golden Age (Middle Age) in 1206, though it's function is limited by serving water it pave the way for future design of automated machines.

I'm quite disappointed in Shukufuku no Campanella. I'll like to see it as a light-hearted comedy set in a magical world, because what little story and action they have didn't really matter. I thought it will be better to focus on the characters more since it's the stronger aspect of the series, but the series had a melodramatic ending that's along the lines of "our determination will overcome all odds!"... shounen styled, and really wasted a lot of potential the supporting characters had. This feels a lot like the recent Ookami-san, where a lot of screen time is put into introduction of the supporting characterswhich fail to play a real role in the story.
The main characters were disappointing. Leicester didn't have any of the energy or manliness the other characters gave him credit for. Carina was nondescript, and Minette were as annoying as hell. I hoped they would have showed more of Chelsea, Agnes and the Tortilla sisters (basically everyone else in the party), but too bad.
The animation was rather bland and sometimes sloppy. The production quality doesn't deserve any praise, except maybe for the ending theme. There wasn't really anything else interesting about the series, so I won't recommend it.
Plot/Concept: Fairly Good
Story Style: Boring
Audio/Visual: Boring
Value: 5

This anime... Is simply just a dead fish. I can't even say there was a lot of potential, but there was certainly more than what this anime realized. I cannot say anything other than the characters were all stale and uninteresting, the story was slow and predictable, and the music was just mediocre. It's only saving grace was the art, but it didn't save it. Perhaps the biggest flaw was the stagnant emotion from the characters; this emotion was happy without breaking a smile, or sad with tears, and that was it. There was no humor, and I mean none. Iam not even sure if this anime brought a smile to my face. The characters were so cliche it was hard to finish it.
*I am not a very strong critic on anime. I like more than I should. Waste your time on this series ONLY if you have A LOT of time to waste.*

Do you love just looking at nice scenes from fantasy worlds? You'd better, otherwise this anime has very little to offer. I've actually lost count of how many times I've watched it, not because it's good but because it's so bland almost all of it gets erased from my memory the moment I watch a single episode of something else. Just by reading the plot synopsis your hope for a good story should already be crushed. Keep it that way. Most characters are really forced into roles that don't work well, as a result their conversations are all over the place and sometimes funny but moreoften so disconnected and incoherent it's like they are locked in their own imaginations and talking past each other. The voice acting isn't even good, not because the poor folks doing the voices did a bad job but because many of the voices are so poorly matched with the characters you wonder if there was a shortage of options at the time of the making.
The only enjoyable part about this incoherent bland mess is the art, while the animations are not worth taking an interest in I'm forced to admit the scenes are often lovely. Not overly detailed or outlandish but very fantasy world...ish! Some of the female characters are visually kawaii enough too but their other terrible traits kill that cuteness rather brutally. At the end of the day if all you need are pretty backgrounds and half successful jokes once in a while this anime does the trick, but most viewers could very easily find something else to watch that would suit their tastes better.
B-O-D
If you're looking for something fast-paced, or with a good story, sadly this isn't for you. It's a very slow-paced SOL style pace, combined with fantasy, ecchi, harem in an attempt to target multiple audiences. Characters get some development on why they are there, and what they do, but this is limited even after episodes dedicated to different members of the team. The truth is, it looks like it was never planned to go for a second series, just some ova's/specials. Fin after the last episode being a major clue. The characters are your typical adventure style from game or fantasyin some cases, the OP MC, the strong guy in Nick, The mage, and always in the teen/loli area that these animes seem to love when targeting men.
The stories are simple to follow but are pretty much individual to each episode with a common theme of finding an automaton in the church during a meteor shower, and her effect on those around her as she becomes an adventure with unknown powers or strength.
It's a nice enough story, very generic in the way hero saves girl, the hero has a harem, harem provides fan service, hero saves the day as with most such animes. The only new thing is automatons, which to me is no different from robots etc or saving a person in another anime as in many cases you can't tell an automaton from a human.
Overall was simple for me, when i come to watch such an anime that sets out a basic goal by the end of the second episode, if the first is dominated by a character transferred to another world, the character hits the first town. As this lacked that reall. It was a very slice of life in the way, a girl wakes, the girl calls OP MC dad, turns a slice of life in making her happy in slow-paced anime.
My problem is I got bored at stages, as could of condensed a lot of the anime down, i didn't think they needed to single people out to dominate an episode to introduce them, it can be done, spread through the episodes. The missions and guild also felt slow to me, where you picture guilds with lots of missions, this was a slow-paced town it seemed, despite these crystalline monsters. So sadly for me, the story was poor, especially on the fix to Miriam, minettes willingness to sacrifice until OP MC comes for her, and is like want to stay with you and the rest of the guild..
The episodes as not calling it a story are slow, the art is good, the ecchi is on and off, the harem is strong in this one, and the fantasy is overly simplistic. The sound is average and it does just enough to give you enough to keep watching, without winning you over to want to watch it again.

…it’d be a mistake saying that I haven’t watched something like… like THIS for a long time. Similar series have always been, exist now and will be produced with frightening regularity. This title is that most people associate “anime” with. The characters are identical. No, seriously, those lame convulsive attempts in showing distinct individuals are done at step “well, there should be a genki, a cooldere, a maid, a moe, an imbecile, a slut… plus a MC-loyal dog, a muscular kern…” – they are missing out only a normal tsundere. Moreover, these guys are so inexpressive, that you can easily confuse one with another. Confuse awoman with a man. Villains are canonically-overextended, and do canonically repent, receive their forgiveness. It’s a minus, a very big one.
It goes without saying they all live in a “you know, one standard fantasy world, that has magickas, elffs… errr, I mean dragons” (by the way, an anthropomorphical spectral dragon is so cool). Some kind of the “Eru”(El) flows around the world, and it’s used mostly for giving life to mechanical lolies. Also it creates beautiful meteor showers. Some kind of monsters appear. Yeah. Right. The only bad thing is that the society is retarded, but everything is won-der-ful. Another minus.
However, this show has its certain beauty. First, GRAFICS. Agnes fap-fap-fap. Those voices make me puke, it’s good that the washbowl is always near. Minette’s voice especially made me getting a vicious dump. The OP&ED give the same impression. EDs, by the way, do change, and thus the emitting vomit is different. A plus for Agnes and her handmade dolls.
There’s no logic in it, but thank you. From time to time they actually try to explain things, just to get the attempts stomped by concrete and straightforward fanservice, the one that makes me dive into the filled washbowl. No one has any motivation at all (yeah, at first the Great Villain was trying to make sense, but eventually stopped that and became “good’). The humor is mostly based on “l00k, the siblings are talking shit, LOL”or “GOOOLEM” (well, this is kinda funny). I have a strong feeling that the connections between episodes were made up during a mortal hangover. If that’s the case, I go stand up and applaud. But it’s a minus, actually.
Now’s my favorite part – the story itself. You know, it kina exists. And kinda not. The minute is starts to appear, say, Minette goes to the market. Or say the Great Villain makes his appearance, threatening everyone – the next episode starts off a celebration on something. “The chance for you to succeed is less than 1%”, as it’s stated in the final – and it’s obvious that instead everything runs like clockwork. “mamoru nakama” all the time. “I’ll save everyone”, my ass. And he does. Some characters are only for show… well, not “some” – everyone but two. And those two are the most plain and stupid. The story itself negates all the attempts of getting a grasp of it. It the authors had a goal of making one incoherent ravings, they did a perfect job. Somehow, I’m in a doubt on that, thus one more minus.
To sum everything up… I watched this only an episode a month, because I have only three washbowl at my house. And they have to be cleaned up after each session. However, the overall impression isn’t that bad – I was dying from a handover a week ago, and felt much more sick. Maybe it’s all because of me overdosing myself with too much pure alcohol. Anyway, this was a great torture for choosing a bad anime. As if I didn’t know that coming. I even can’t compliment this on anything except Agnes.
3/10, yet the real mark is two – thank one cute little girl for that.
