This is my review on 30-sai no Hoken Taiiku - A Thirty-Year Old's Health and Physical Education. The subject/theme of this anime is sex but it has a lot of comedy in it that makes learning about sex, fun to watch through this anime. Story (5-7/10): Personally, I give it 6 The story is pretty straight forward and simple to understand. a 30-year old man named Hayao Imagawa have been a virgin his entire life and thus have never had sex. Because of his circumstances a God of Sexual Love sent from heaven approaches him where he must help him find the right woman he can losehis virginity to, in order to complete his assignment and return to heaven. Imagawa meets up with different women because of Daigorou, a God of Sex that pretty much interferes with his life (at least according to the main character) until he falls in love with someone aged 30 like himself and a virgin too. And now here begins his journey of true love (sex).
The story is just a normal romance love story that focuses on education to succeed in that topic, whereas the gods is there to bring comedy and guide them by being
Art (6-7/10): Personally, I give it 7
I think the animation is fitting for this anime not too flashy but not so bad to ruin the watching experience. I love the different backgrounds that’s been used when characters interact with one another or is having a monolog. The simple environment that’s been used on different parts in the city may be giving a boring feel to it to some that watches this anime but I think it fits well with the adult genre and let’s not forget that this is an adult educational anime so it must have these kinds of elements or it might lose its edge. I think it’s a good way been portraying when the god teaches for example the main character what he should be focusing on how to treat a woman, it gives you the educational feel.
The thing I don’t like much is that the characters often stay constant but I guess it’s to save budget. I also enjoyed noticing some of it’s use of anime references like Jojo or Dragon Ball Z.
Important note when watching this anime, you should watch it uncensored, the first time I watched it when it aired, it was rather confusing to watch when many pictures and scenes was censored and certain words which made me confused as a result. So, watching it uncensored is the best way to watch it.
Sound (7-8/10): Personally, I give it 8
The OP & ED that’s been used in the anime is very good and can be listened to more than once but it’s not that memorable but fitting for this anime, I personally loved both and I think the Ending credits was really clever showing the main characters appearances from their early childhood to later in their adulthood for each episode where in the end of the song shows how the main characters relationship stands atm.
The OST that’s been used through the anime is very much unique and there are some tracks I really loved listening to which made the anime better to watch. For example, after the scene where Daigorou "God of Sex" approached the Main character naked and got kicked out, returned inside sitting in a throne on his dining table and thus the track plays, I think it’s really good. The background music that’s been played through the anime has been used well in various scenes.
Character (9-10/10): Personally, I give it 10
Although the anime story was average and pretty dull, what made this anime good was its characters and the character development for each character, in my opinion. The main characters that tried finding their soulmates and the gods constantly trying to help but most of the time interfered and made the moments more hilarious than should be. Extremely short summaries with my opinion on why I think they are so made well in the development of the story:
1. Hayao Imagawa: The male main character that is supposed to be the guy that comments while being bashed by the gods, and gets treated badly by the gods, becomes more confident in his abilities and starts taking more chances than in the past where he most of the time failed. I didn’t like his character that much but I enjoyed his growth as a character.
2. Natsu Andou: The female main character, she originally was shy of guys but learns to become a more independent woman. She is what I expected as a female MC and satisfied with her growth.
3. Daigorou: He is my favorite character, he is supposed to be the god of sex who is silver haired, good dressing, handsome and not shy of being nude. His treatment of the male MC made me laugh a lot of times.
4. Macaron: The second god of sex and the little brother to Daigorou, who has to help him getting Imagawa to lose his virginity. He often dresses as a girl, and looks really cute but… He is a guy!
5. Pii-chan: Is one of the female gods of sex that has to help Andou the female main character losing her virginity for similar situation. What I really love about Pii-chan is that she reminds me of Perona from One Piece, her many priceless face expressions makes me laugh hard every time, you can’t hate her.
6. Kuu-chan: Pii-chan’s twin sister is another god of sex who has forgot speaking Japanese so she keeps saying and doing random stuff which is fun to watch.
I really enjoy the presence of each character, it makes this simple love story more fun to watch. The ending is worth the completion if you are in doubt of wanting to continue watching this anime.
Enjoyment (7-8/10): Personally, I give it 8
I really enjoyed this anime a lot and though the story was average which I have seen before the characters made it worth to watch. The animation and the art being used, I enjoyed noticing it a great deal and I loved the music and songs that’s been used for this anime. The characters development made it more enjoyable and the gods presence made it more comedically,
Final Thoughts:
But in all honesty, some that watches this anime might think it’s disturbing or messed up what the gods do and portray like Daigorou dressing up his 8-year old little brother and giving green light to Imagawa to practice sex with, that’s cringed lol.
PS:
This review is based on my rating on enjoyment and other specific factors. The first time I watched it I enjoyed it greatly, considering the strange title it has. Later, I rewatched this anime again so I could focus on other factors than the story.
This is my second Review and my first anime TV series Review, because I’m inexperienced I must learn to reduce the length of my reviews. Again, I had a lot of fun writing this review, and I’m open for all kinds of feedback.
Overall Rating 8 - Very Good ^_^

30-sai no Hoken Taiiku (Health education for 30 year olds) is a one sick show. There are so many wrong things in this anime that I don't even know where to start. This series focuses on the most widely talked about subject in human history - that being sex. Okey fine, but the way they present it is just completely over the top. Like the image of 5 soldiers rubbing up and down againts an artillery piece which then fires a white canonball at a humonguous tissue. I'm never going to be able to look at artillery seriously ever again. That horrifying image is nowburned in my head for good.
The story is as unbelievably crazy as it can only get. We have a 30 year old virgin dude (that's not the unbelievable part though) who has no luck with the ladies (that's also NOT unbelievable but read on). One day a silver haired god of sex comes down with the offer of helping him lose his virginity. Along with him comes his little sexually confused brother. As it turns out the gods will not leave until he loses his virginity.
That's when total craziness starts. At first the main character is lectured by the gods, what he should do and what he shouldn't do when around women. Okey, fair enough but then it just gets downright weird... the small god (probably 8 years old) offers himself for practice (WTF). Soon after the second god also offered his... urr backside to the main character. When the main character rejected the offers, the god's ass[hole] started sucking in everything in the room. At that point I stopped the video, ran to my bathroom and poured all the bleach I could find on my eyes. I then tried to erase that image from my eyes with a nail file. Upon failure, I realised that the only solution would be to set myself on fire... and that attempt also failed.
The series gets even more ridicilous from then on, we have a 100 something year old Virgin King who looks like Nappa from DBZ, a horny Japanese goddess who can only speak French and another 30 year old virgin (this time it's a woman) who's also looking forward to lose her virginity with the help of two goddesses.
In other words... I'm at a loss for words. Yes, this show is fucked up.
Apart from the corny story... art is pretty good, sound is nothing special really just your run-of-the-mill anime music.
Enjoyment... hmm, it depends. If you're the kind of person that enjoys watching gods lavishly show off their naked bottoms and see small boys offer themselfes to 30 year olds then this series is probably for you. However when you're looking for a more meaningful comedy then by all means stay away from this anime.
I have no idea why I've even watched it in the first place.

(This has been adapted from my reddit thread) There is something that humans crave more than anything. No, it's not food, it's not peace of mind, and it's not even anime. What everyone wants the most is sex. Whether for pleasure or for procreation, sex is an integral part to society as we know it. "Sex sells," as the saying goes. It's filled with a flurry of emotions: love, happiness, embarrassment, anguish. Many good and bad things arise from not only sex but even from just being in a sexual relationship. But before any of that, how does one get to that point? This is what30-sai no Hoken Taiiku aims to explore, and what it contains is a cute little story enshrouded in education.
STORY
"Health and Physical Education for 30 Year-Olds," as it is known in English, begins with Imagawa, a newly turned 30 year old virgin. When the clock strikes twelve, a god of sex known as Daigorou descends from heaven. His task is simple: to rid Imagawa of his longstanding virginity.
Sounds wacky, right? You wouldn't be wrong to think otherwise. But this is something that 30-sai no Hoken Taiiku does right. It tackles a subject that isn't normally (if at all) looked upon, at least within the realm of anime. Focusing on dating and sex, the show explores many facets related to such topics. Nothing is off limits; discussions about the pros of the "cowgirl" position or the optimal eye-contact length are the norm. The show is a parody, so to an extent, the majority of the "lessons" are so basic or simple that it's a wonder that Imagawa and Andou have never learned about them before, let alone experienced them. Yet, its educational format adds to the uniqueness that the show permeates.
Beneath the layer of French kissing techniques and dealing with double rejection lives a more subtle tale. The main quest is to rid Imagawa and Andou of their virginity, sure, but that's the short of it. The overall purpose the anime was going for was demonstrating that, despite these two people's "situations," they, too, were able to find love. What's interesting are not the literal gods who help them or the silly antics. Rather, it's the portrayal of such a couple. While both happen to be 30 years old, their development is more akin to sheltered teenagers than full grown adults. In this way, the anime isn't looking to appeal to men and women experienced in the art of Kama Sutra. Instead, its focus is on the fan-base attributed to anime. It's an interesting idea that plays off of the stigma associated with people who partake in the medium. That is, the "situation" fans of anime are placed in does not automatically rule out sex or love for them. It might make it harder to obtain, like being a 30 year old virgin, but that doesn't mean it is not within reach.
Finally, the ending. Strangely, it is massively anti-climactic in what is depicted. But it is done this way for a particular reason: to showcase how meaningless losing one's virginity really is. It's not deserving of some elaborate celebration, because it's not the loss that is important. On the contrary, it's what comes after that matters most. A deeper connection with the one you love, deciding to start a family; these are the aspects that carry the most weight. The ending handles this gracefully, and ends the cute little story on a rather touching moment.
ANIMATION
30-sai no Hoken Taiiku doesn't animate as if it were 30 years old, but it might as well have.
This one follows a rather simple mindset. Simple looking environments and simple character designs; it's honestly just boring to look at. The only moments when the show was worthwhile to view were when it adopted the "chibi" style drawings. Here, the characters take on solid eyes, squat designs, and choppy movements.
As for the actual animation, despite being constrained to about 13 minutes an episode, it is either non-existent or poorly done. Obviously it's a "realistic" story, so there isn't much flair or innovation that needs to go on. But there isn't much movement to be had at any point as the show progressed.
An important note: this show must be watched uncensored. The censored version has an abysmal amount of covered-up scenes, blurred out actions, and bleeped words. It's possible to watch it this way, but one is sorely missing out otherwise.
CHARACTERS
As the title of the anime suggests, this show delves into the lives of two people, Hayao Imagawa and Natsu Andou. Both are 30 years old, both are virgins, and both are aiming to take that "next big step."
Imagawa takes a lead role in this mature comedy. Awkward, nervous, and quite normal, his love for Andou is genuine and real. While he may wish to have sex someday, he much prefers to enjoy the time he spends with his lover outside of the bedroom. His characterization makes him more of a "Gary-Stu" than one is initially led to believe. We're not meant to be sympathetic towards him so much as we are supposed to be empathetic. Imagawa acts as any regular, socially inept guy would. Fumbling his words, not catching hints, and at times trying a bit too hard, he's like any other dude experiencing love for the very first time.
Andou is Imagawa's equivalent. Her shyness is adorable and her embarrassment regarding anything sexual is sweet to see. She exudes innocence, and is not afraid to put up walls (figurative and literal!) if she has to. Imagawa suffers the difficulties attached to his predicament, and Andou is no different. Her gender may be the complete opposite, but her tribulations are nothing of the sort. Andou, similar to her lover, is a "Mary-Sue." But her inclusion serves a higher purpose. Society often views a man's virginity as a burden whereas a woman's is precious. Here, though, we see Andou actively seeking to lose something supposedly dear to her. In other words, someone's virginity, man or woman, may in fact be precious. But outside influence shouldn't dictate one's assumptions; only that person has the right to make such choices.
While the main cast are deeper than they appear on the outside, sadly, the same cannot be said for the side cast. Most, if not all, of them are very weak. This is mainly due to their roles. Acting as teachers of sort, their only purpose is to relay information about sexual intercourse, relationship tips, or comedic relief. There may be an argument for religious implications (how religion often views virginity as sacred, but here the gods are constantly pushing the two to make love), but this is stretching the short story just a bit. At the least, their inclusion can be looked at as a metaphor for destiny. Sometimes, events happen so naturally that it almost seems like fate itself were guiding everything along.
SOUND
The OP is not very good. It's simple beat and vocals make it entirely boring to listen to, and the song itself is a little too uppity.
The ED, likewise, is still a bit boring. The drums do add a bit of flair that seemed to be lacking in the OP, but it's a simple rhythm and song that is not memorable enough to be listened to outside of the show itself.
The soundtrack is quite forgettable. It's mainly an assortment of guitar tracks and piano pieces used for "everyday" music.
In regards to the voice acting, no outstanding performances were to be had.
ENJOYMENT
This anime treads a rather fine line. On the one hand, for those old enough, the information given is already common. On the other hand, those too young under appreciate it as just a few hints at how sex should be handled. Not that either side can't appreciate what the anime was really trying to go for, but one has to ignore the blatant, in-your-face sexual positions, references, and methodologies in order to understand the parody for what it is.
The comedy involved is really bad. Cringe inducing even. It tries desperately hard to be comical when it can, and it almost always falls flat in this regard. Instead, the show shines best when it is showcasing the cute couple failing to interact with one another because of their quite evident lack of experience. Andou's blushing when talking about spending time with Imagawa or Imagawa respecting Andou not for her body but for who she is as a person are romantic moments, and easily put a smile on my face each and every time.
In a medium mostly dominated by a younger audience, 30-sai no Hoken Taiiku attempted to try something a bit more mature. While the topic itself is "touchy," the ideas it tries to present in parody fashion are not entirely lost. If anything, this one should at least be credited with thinking outside the box.
SUMMARY
Story: Good, sex, parody, and a message
Animation: Bad, boring, plain, stale, and needs to be watched uncensored
Characters: Fine, main cast are nice but the rest are weak
Sound: Terrible, OP and ED are a no-go, bad soundtrack, okay VA work
Enjoyment: Fine, lame comedy yet a good romance
Final Score: 4/10

Health Lessons for 30 year olds is an odd show. Well, of course it is - it's suppose to be education and enjoyable. So I might be slightly insane for watching it in the eyes of others, but it was slightly surprising… It was funny? Yes, knowing that nobody would watch an educational program like this, they decided to make this a comedy. Introducing a tip on romance the characters usually ignore it as the sex gods, who have come to ensure the virgins succeed, squabble amongst themselves how they will never finish their job. A combination of tsukkomi, parodies, and a lot of randomness Inever felt compelled to drop 30-sai.
As a comedy the story is rather insignificant - it revolves around two virgins and their sex gods who are trying to find them a soul mate. The tips are always incorporated into a joke so you remember them. By the end it didn't really serve its purpose as I only remember one of them: "Keep eye contact for 10 seconds at a time."
The characters aren't bad. The god's definitely have personality which is the only way this show is watchable. The couple are okay, of course you might not empathize with 30 year old virgins depending on how nice of a person you are. The girl is slightly androphobic or tsundere, and the male is what is easily classifiable as a typical male lead. In fact the synopsis is right, the love is rather pure as there is really low amount of fan service. They just don't show much that needs to be censored. They do have a lot of language censored, but the voiceover, I am convinced is Wakamoto Norio, can be humorous. Personally I never paid enough attention to make it out, but others on the forums were enjoying them.
30-sai was an okay watch. I picked it up on a whim, but it is neither very educational nor very funny. I am not sure if I would recommend it, actually I wouldn't since there are a lot of things out there to watch, but it wouldn't burn your eyes out if you did either.
Questions and feedback on my review are welcomed and appreciated!

I really enjoyed this anime, don't let the title in english knock you off because this show is quite funny in it's own way especially when they say breast are justice LOL. If u watch it to the end it is quite satisfying end and an emotional one.

COMMENTS: I was in an anime slump, y'know the kind, you want to watch something but everything you watch is just wrong, yeah I was in one of those when I came across this. It looked amusing enough and if there's one thing I'm a sucker for it it's sex related humour. SUMMARY: 30-sai Hoken Taiiku is about 30 year old Imagawa Hayao who has just bought a blow up sex doll who he calls Momoko. Did I mention Imagawa was a virgin? No? Well he is and he's about to deflower himself with a sex doll when Daigorou aka SexGod magically appears in his house.Daigorou mission? To get Imagawa some sex with real life living ladies and so the fun and games begin.
STORY: 8/10
I know I'm probably being generous giving this show such a high score but I found it oddly refreshing. This show managed to take something which could be quite embarrassing to talk about and turn it into a comedy without it being overbearing and judgemental and I feel it did give some good advice and tackled a lot of hard to address issues. I also liked how the show wasn't just a case of 'go out get laid job done.' Daigorou actually helped Imagawa to form a relationship and taught him to communicate with woman, along with how to do the sex.
Did I also mention the comedy gold? This show had me in stitches.
CHARACTERS: 8/10
You'd think with this show being a guidebook that characters would have no personality but this show somehow managed it. The two main characters and 'virgins' are very believable not to mention they're not complete weirdos, normally they're virgins for a reason but these were two vey normal believable people who just had some slight issues with communicating and developing relationships.
The supporting characters were less believable they were over the top and borderline ridiculous but that’s where your comedy came from. There was not really any character development for the supporting characters they were there for the comedy and to help the two main characters develop and I was oddly okay with that.
ANIMATION: 7/10
There was nothing outstanding about the animation but that was okay since nothing needed to be outstanding. I feel Andou could have benefited from looking less child like since she is meant to be a woman in her 30's but I guess woman looking young and cute is a Japanese male fantasy.
SOUND: 6/10
I didn't really notice the sound? Nothing sprang up rather than the ending song. The background music was just that, background music there was nothing special about it.
OVERALL: 8/10
This show was really enjoyable and it kept me laughing for hours. I wouldn't recommend it to people who aren't too fond of sex humor and I wouldn't really use it for a guide like it's meant to be since I can't really take it seriously but if you're looking for good old sex jokes to laugh at this is what you want.

Lesson 41: "If you do nothing, there will never be a chance" 30-sai no Hoken Taiiku is an odd one. I came into it not sure what I'd expect, and I was pleasantly surprised. It's an over-the-top comedy (Yes it's not tagged as one but it really is) where two 30-year old virgins are guided by Sex Gods to lose their virginity. Story: 7 The story was simple yet enjoyable. It starts off with our main character turning 30 and trying to have sex with his blow-up doll to lose his virginity, but before he "succeeds" (if you'd consider it success), a God ofsex appears in front of him stopping him.
From that point onwards it just becomes ridiculous, hilarious yet somehow erm... educational. Yup. The God of sex and his brother try to teach the MC how to interact with females, how to hold conversations, how to ask her for a date etc.
...But they also teach him about the pros and cons of sexual positions.
Other than that it has a romance side-plot going along the comedy aspect, and it worked very well, considering it had more development than basically all the romance anime I've seen.
Art: 7
The Art/Animation part of this anime seems to be getting a lot of slack from other people, which I can sort of understand. It had this odd vibrant coloured, chibi-esque feel to it, kind of like Mr. Bean the animation. Yet it worked surprisingly well considering the comedy. There weren't any obvious animation fails, although there was a lack of movement in some scenes (budget I'm assuming).
Also I've heard stories about a censored version being appalling so don't watch that one.
Sound: 8
Yes, the Sound was very good. Light-hearted, catchy and enjoyable OP (which I listened to every single time). The OST was strangely addictive, with a couple of tunes still playing in my head. Obviously they followed the OP's theme, being catchy and simple. And the ED which I consider the best of the 3. Besides following the previous 2 (listened to it every time) it did something that not enough anime do. It changed part of the video (I guess you could call it) every episode. It started off with the 2 main characters walking as babies to each other and every episode there's an older version of them doing the same thing, until reaching their current age in the final episode.
Characters: 8
A colourful set of characters, the 2 main ones obviously going through the most development. Going from 2 people unable to even talk to the opposite gender to [SPOILER] dating like normal human beings [SPOILER]. I could see personality changes of the 2 main characters throughout the 12 episodes, and it put a smile to my face every time. But they wouldn't be able to get where they are if not for our 4 background characters/gods helping them out in every step.
Enjoyment: 9
It was an extremely enjoyable ride. It made me laugh uncontrollably, smile and be happy about all the romance and excited to get into each new episode.
Surprised to see it rated so low so I'll give you guys some tips:
- Don't take it too seriously. It wasn't meant to be. It was intended to be watched like you'd watch Detroit Metal City, or One Punch Man (a more recent example).
- Just have fun with it and you'll like it, trust me!
P.S: My first review, be gentle.
EmoRikki
Now this one is a little sketchy for some viewers. Probably not the best show to watch while kids are around. The story has its cute side and it's pretty enjoyable. If anything I would say its a great show for people in their 20's I suppose. It's comical and for American's it's pretty much like the movie 40 Year Old Virgin. Still I would recommend this anime to viewers who are at least aware of the strange subjects animes will push you into. For you Greenhorns out there. You've been warned. Enjoy

30-sai is about divine intervention trying to help two 30-year-old virgins hit it up, quite literally. The divine intervention is in the form of a pair of sex gods, two per virgin. Underneath an unbelievable amount of ecchi content and references you'll find a very light romance. Throughout the show, though, I kept wondering whether this show is actually trying to serve as a helpful guide under the guise of comedy, or whether this show is just making fun of the topic of sexuality. This is quite a unique series. Apart from wondering how this ever got on TV, you'll also notice a very unique flavorof comedy. I found some of these references humorous, but quite a few of the others in bad taste. This is an ecchi-comedy with a slight romantic development, and a random, short divergence to action-land. If you willing to sift through the ecchi overload, try out the first two episodes to see if it piques your interest.
Animation:
The animation of this series is, again, unique to say the least. The character models are a bit simplistic and often go into comic-mode (no backgrounds, few character details). Backgrounds are also very simplistic and solid-colored (no detailed shading). There are also portions where the animation style is purposefully grotesque (really ugly drawing style or dis-proportioned figures).
However, most noticeable of all would be the ecchi. The show is full of endlessly censored frames. It's sometimes feels random as apparently french kissing by fake lips is filtered while a banana with two small tangerines next to a mango sliced in half is apparently totally fine. The main point in the show is to have the sex gods teach the virgins how to date and do things that follow a date, therefore, you should expect this to be very explicit at times; i.e. this is most definitely NSFW.
Sound:
The OP is energetic but I don't particularly like the voice. The ED is a rock song with a fairly decent melody, and a fairly interesting sequence (shows the virgins as they grow up). Surprisingly enough, the BGM is actually quite memorable in this series. It plays a very significant role as many of the scenes are more visual-oriented than sound-oriented, there will almost always be some BGM playing.
The VAs do a decent job but Imagawa really does sound like a scary creep at times. You will also get a lot of bleeped out lines as they can't say *** or **** or any other words that I also shouldn't be posting here.
Story:
The story is told from the viewpoint of Imagawa and Andou, two virgins who now live with sex gods who refuse to leave until the former are no longer virgins. The two virgins eventually encounter each other and slowly learn how to date and grow closer through "lessons". Some of these lessons are simple dating tips while others are attempts to get them more to be more comfortable with explicit content. These lessons form title screens that divide each episode. These somewhat spoil what's coming up so I'd recommend not reading the subs for these. Even without the lesson titles, the story is very linear and isn't terribly deep. The focus is definitely on the comedic aspects, with a plot existing to support the comedic events.
Character:
Imagawa is completely creepy and sleeps with a blow up doll, while Andou is just embarrassed and ends up turning down anyone who approaches her. Though there is development as the virgins do learn eventually to interact at some level with the other gender, it feels artificial as the characters themselves don't have much depth. You never really get to know the actual virgins as the show primarily uses them as "dolls" to bring across the point of the lesson. Despite this, some of the character interactions are fairly humorous. Just don't expect the same warm fuzzy feeling that you'd get from something like Amagami SS.
Value:
This is a short, light show that emphasizes that hanging out with the other gender can be fun. It gives some potentially useful dating tips as well as a whole lot of sexual references, most of which doesn't really serve any meaningful purpose. It was decently enjoyable but doesn't really have quite enough depth of characters. The end message is actually probably a good way to finish this off: "If you do nothing, there will never be a chance!".

30-sai no Hoken Taiiku was a decent anime. It was about sex, but not overtly inappropriate. There were censors where it was needed, but it's still kind of awkward to watch around family. Overall, I gave this anime an 8/10. Here's why: Story: 7/10 The story follows a 30 year old virgin who's been sent a Sex God. Basically, a god that is trying to teach him how to get laid. If you look past this, there is an interesting love story that unfolds, and some random anime references throughout. It was pretty funny, if you're into that kind of thing, and I did sort of enjoyit.
Art: 7/10
The art was great, don't get me wrong. I loved the style of the characters. It was a traditional anime style mixed with some chibis here and there. There was something pretty bad about the animation, so that docked some of the points from the art. It wasn't too bad to drop it below a seven though.
Sound: 8/10
I loved both the opening and ending for this anime. Sure, they didn't fit with the anime, being upbeat and catchy, but it was just a typical anime opening/ending. I will more than likely listen to both of the songs in my spare time.
Character: 5/10
There wasn't really any character development throughout the anime, but with the episodes being ten minutes each, and only having twelve episodes, I didn't expect much in that department.
Enjoyment: 8/10
I enjoyed this anime quite a lot. I thought it was cute and funny. I would probably watch it again for the laughs maybe a year down the road. The only issue was, I could only watch it in spurts. With it being so short, only about two hours viewing time overall, I figured I would binge watch it in one night and move onto the next anime, but I couldn't watch too many episodes at once. That doesn't necessarily mean that I hated this anime, I'm honestly not sure why I couldn't bring myself to watch the whole thing.

If you go into this show looking for a story, you're in for a bad time. Hi into it seeking Japanese style humour, which is often done at the expense of the characters with a mix of anime hentai-ness(perversion) so it can be a hot or miss for you. Eagle eyes viewers might find references to other animes like DBZ, Evangallion, Naruto and common anime cliches. It presents itself as a guide but teaches you very little that you wouldn't have already known as an average anime consumer. (Specially if you read lots of doujins) Lacks a backstory as in how the characters got to where they are nowand explores very little about the(Natsu) girl's side of experience. Very little was explored outside of the main topic. An anime like this could have easily been made long enough for 30+ episodes be it by adding more info or by going deeper into the story.
The ending happens all of a sudden and we never get to see what the 'gods' thought of their experience or if their own relationship that developed during last few episodes gets resolved.
PS: Why are they 30 year old? I guess, you can try writing 30 in roman.

From the synopsis, I already knew that this would be good. I had high hopes and knew I wanted to give it a shot. Now, I am disappointed, but not for the reasons some of the others listed. Let me tell you why: I expected a high-quality anime about two lonely people who find a way into each other's hearts while dating for the first time. What I got: A ridiculous parody filled with pervy jokes and stupid decisions, a show that isn't to be taken seriously because it is not - in fact - serious. "A Thirty-Year Old's Health and Physical Education" is a simple, stupidand questionable anime that isn't exactly worth watching, but if you do watch and finish it, I'm sure you'll find that it was quite enjoyable.
It is not a masterpiece, but it connects you to other animes and their clichés. If you manage to understand the story and the way it was written, you will understand why the background was so simple and why the art resembled a "Chibi-" anime rather than a fully animated show.
(Just look closely at the poster..)
Let's go a bit deeper for those who are interested:
For our main characters, we have an unlikable yet accurately described awkward 30-year old man (now this might not be the case for everyone, but that is exactly how the men around me are, so I found it hilarious) and a sex God who reminds me of a certain "Gilbert" (those who know, know. For those who don't, the information is not important) so I fell in love with him right away - connecting the two characters and understanding Daigorou's personality just helped find him not annoying.
As disturbing as Macaron was, this anime is a parody anime - taking that in mind, he worked well with the story and was a funny supporting character. The same goes for Kuu-chan and Pii-chan (which sounds like a pu**y in my language).
And as you might have noticed, I forgot to include Andou. And that's because she didn't stick with me. Opposite to Imagawa, she didn't really fit the image of a virgin lady and her character was...quite forgettable. Which is a shame since she is the main character...
Worth mentioning would be the Dorm Supervisor and Wada-san - for me, they were really funny and I enjoyed how they worked with the story.
Now the story itself can't be considered good. It's simple - I am a God of sex and I need you to lose your virginity. That is it. There are sex lessons, perverted jokes, kinky encounters and a Virgin King and a traditional Japanese embarrassment. At times it felt like the story was inferior to the characters, not the other way around.
And that's why the art style suffered too. Since it was simple and not very deep, there was no need for serious faces and quality details. In the first few episodes, I was actually surprised at how good it was. But as I progressed, the amount of "high quality vs. chibi art" switched completely. Can't say I didn't enjoy it, the faces they made were pure gold.
With everything else, I would just repeat myself. It was parody, it didn't need anything high quality, but it was still good. That's applicable to music, to supporting characters, to jokes, to how the story didn't make sense at times... In the end, when it mattered the most, we got a serious goodbye and a good ending.
So like I said, I am happy I've seen this and if you are, any intrigued, you should too.

This is one crazy and outrageous anime. From the title alone I expected something a bit normal like a comedy or education anime within the bounds of reality. But this show defies logic and sense with all its craziness and weird antics. Plot: The story starts off with our main protagonist ,30 year old male virgin (Hayao Imagawa) ,trying to have intercourse with momoko-chan (a sex doll, that's just sad really), when out of nowhere pops out a naked guy (Daigorou a pervert.. err.. the God of Sex). And in Hayao's shock he turns Momoko-chan into the God Board. At first Hayao was defiant but whenDaigorou forces him to do something bad.. really really bad like an %@$& Vacuum, Hayao unsurprisingly quickly had a change of heart.
The plot revolves around Daigorou and little brother Macaron's weird and creepy antics as they try to help Hayao avoid becoming a wizard. The Female protagonist Natsu Andou a virgin herself is in the same boat as our male protagonist as she too gets accompanied by two female Sex Gods. Both pairs of Gods and Goddesses kinda isn't fond of each other.Our hero and heroine will have to face many challenges before they could become "one". At one point Hayao's hopes of getting past the virgin stage will hit rock bottom when he succumbs to giving up and ended becoming the virgin prince and Andou will let herself really go due to insecurities and stresses of her own.But all's well that ends well, as the four Gods and Goddesses settle their differences and joined forces to help our two lovebirds muster up the courage to do what they had to do.
Review: It's an okay show to watch if you want a good laugh, the topics aren't really for children but no "ecchi" here, and a lot of things are hilariously censored, muted and blurred. The plot itself is straightforward and light with heavy doses of weirdness and outrageous stuff. If you liked the first episode then expect the same thing for the rest.
My Personal Rating:7/10

If you're looking for a cute simple anime to follow that has subtle and not-so-subtle adult jokes in it than this anime is for you. This show had my laughing out loud with the adult jokes and visuals, as well as the character interactions with one another. The side characters are memorable just as much as the main characters and have great personalities. I'm not usually a big fan of ecchi but this show did it in a way that I didn't feel like it was thrown in front of me like some other shows I've seen such as High School of the Dead andMonster Musume (Still love those ones though!). The ecchi in this show is more subtle and usually only used for comedy rather than just to be there as fan service. As far as the episodes go, they're shorter than your standard 23 minute anime but still enjoyable and was perfect for when I didn't feel like sitting through a full-length anime episode. The art is very cutesy but I loved that. It's different than the generic anime art-style currently and I love all different art-styles in anime so that was a nice change for me personally. Definitely give it a chance!
