Oreshura

俺の彼女と幼なじみが修羅場すぎる

It is often said that events of the past shape what you become in the future. For Eita Kidou, a studious, hard-working student aspiring to earn a scholarship so that he can become a doctor, this is an undeniable truth after being abandoned by his love-addled parents. This event left him jaded to the notion of romance, seeing it as only a distraction that gets in the way of studying. Unfortunately for Eita, his efforts hit a snag when he receives a confession of love from Masuzu Natsukawa, a transfer student with platinum hair and blue eyes. Eita sees through the confession, causing Masuzu to admit that she only did so because having a boyfriend would stop people from asking her out daily. She finds love to be just as much of a hindrance as he does, so by pretending to date, they can stave off advances from everyone else. Eita refuses on the grounds that his classmates will be jealous, but Masuzu blackmails him by revealing that she has his journal and will post it online for everyone to see if he betrays her. Thus begins Ore no Kanojo to Osananajimi ga Shuraba Sugiru, a story that follows Eita coping with his new "relationship" and the complications that arise from it.

El anime es bueno con unos personajes entrañables como A-chan pero al final dio muchas dudas y aparte senti que en lo que se trataron de centrar en el anime no tuvo importancia

- Story: the plot itself was okay but it felt like this bad prequel to nisekoi for me. Although the pacing was faster the story itself held up well. Also the ending I found was god awful and a little clique.

- Animation: I thought the animation style was good and better than average but nothing in the show stood out to me and said "Wow".

- Sound: The voice acting itself was very mediocre but the sound section got a 9 based on music alone. I thought each piece matched the scenes well and the opening was good enough to listen on its own, which is something I look for in music.

- Character: the characters are probably the worst thing about the name. THEY ARE SOOOOOOO CLIQUE! It seems to parody the characters in it but I did not find it appealing as it was pointless and added nothing good to the story.

- Enjoyment: This anime was slightly over mediocre and yet it was f*cking hilarious. I laughed almost ever episode and the music made some scenes even better.

Oreshura was a nice change to a Teenage RomCom.

To be honest; I didn't expect much when I saw this on AniChart. I thought it was the simple Ecchi, 'Time for Plot!' Romcom. But it was much deeper than that. We have our main Cast; Eita Kidou, Chiwa Harusaki, and Mazuzu Natsukawa. Eita is a teenage boy, studying to become a Doctor for his Friend; Chiwa. But, Eita, had a fun imagination as a kid. And wrote a book about his adventures. Just pray it never fell into the wrong hands..

Oops. Mazuzu is introduced attempting to blackmail him. And thus, we have a Harem!

But, jokes aside. The Show was equally balanced with Drama, Character, and Story Progression. It showed how two people who gave up on love, maybe can find solace in each other. However; some cons negate me from saying this is perfect. Well, for one. A RomCom shouldn't feel...'bland' I should say. The Jokes were fine, and the romance was okay. But it didn't strike me as those Kawaii moments.

Love. Love is a fated thing that makes things very complicated in life, and sometimes i can make things unbearably hard to live with ourselves, when it mainly turns our hopes and dreams to date a person to never to materialize. Oreshura is a romance-comedy anime with this point of view on relationships. For me this was a breath of fresh air when it came to watching this genre and I greatly liked watching this show, but it still has its flaws every now and again, but it is still worth the watch. Time to get into details and tear this anime a new one. Oreshura, lets go.

Story: 7

Oreshura is the basic high school anime that follows our main protagonist Eita who is the highest academic-wise in his class, but he has a far different mindset than what most people in rom-coms have. He hates love. He has an absolute disdain for anything that revolves around love because that "can take a hike" if it were to be put into his words. But that all changes when he meets the most beautiful girl in his school Masuzu. Masuzu who was not impartial against love before, has a grown a dislike for it too because of reasons at their school. In order to try to escape that problem, Masuzu goes to Eita and makes him her "material" boyfriend. The plot then follows through with a simple slice of life with various parts of humor that I will let you watch on your own.

If I did have to have one gripe with this story is that there is no ending to this what so ever. After watching all the episodes we are left with a cliffhanger that leads into another arc (or so I presume), that involves all the main female characters. The cliffhanger is so ginormous that if there is no second season to this, then this anime might become utter shit. That is for you to decide, but that is my perspective.

Animation/Sound: 7

When it comes to animation quality, I do find it rather average at most places when it comes to comparing it to things like Tamako Market, and Love Lab. It has the nice bright atmosphere with more colors than I have in my 64 crayon crayola box. Just watch both of the opening and ending to this anime, and I think they tried to hit as many as color on the spectrum they could before they ran of ideas. It keeps awake, and always reminded me to not take this anime too serious. The animation is rather standard just like the story line so do not expect anything too dynamic, but know what you are getting yourself into.

Sound-wise there was nothing really interesting in this anime that caught my ear when I was watching this anime. So do not expecting anything of Baccano or Clannad caliber with this anime. Just take it with a grain of salt.

Characters: 7

The characters within this anime are all rather static. Eita is the poor little soul of a main character who is inevitably tortured throughout this entire anime, and is probably the one who can console with the most The only problem with him is that he doesn't change much as the series progresses, but does start feeling affection toward someone. Masuzu who is the other main character is probably my favorite from this entire series. Her strong will, and ability to lie through her teeth really invite people to keep watching this show. These are the only characters you need to know about because the others are all just filler characters with no much emotion.

Overall: 7

I know, I know. I rate my shows high, but I really did like this show. It is by far nothing new, but it is very nice watch if your a fan of this genre. I'm not saying drop every single anime, and pick up this one. No. Just if you have time, check this anime out. I would say watch this anime because it is interesting to behold and will keep you entertained.

Contrary to what one might believe, I actually approached 'Oreshura' with a positive mindset, and while I admit that I also approached it with a set of expectations, I was fully ready to abandon those pre-conceived notions if the series happened to differ.The fact that Oreshura did indeed differ from my expectations is not a good thing, however. From the very beginning I expected that this series would take a sort of slice-of-life route, but this was in fact a grave misconception on my part as the series was actually a harem. Now, while I have no issue with a series making use with such a format, Oreshura really brings nothing new and exciting to the table. Thus, herein lies the problem. As a means of illustrating the issue I have with this series, allow me to do what any reviewer should, which is to dissect the series into its fundamental elements (e.g. the art and animation, the story, etc.) and to comment on each one, detailing what the series does well and vice versa.-Story-While this is not the biggest flaw in this series, it is certainly a significant one and one that I must stress profusely. The story, essentially, follows a highschool student named Eita Kidou, who is black-mailed by a female student (Masuzu Natsukawa) as a means of forcing him into pretending to be her girlfriend. As such, other girls that are around him (who, for the most part, are childhood friends of his) begin to become jealous, leading into the show's harem aspects.That, in all honesty, is the story of this show. Now, I should not be required to explain that such a plot is so unbelievably banal that one could easily predict how the series would play out from point A to point B. If one struggled with this, then they could certainly predict what sort ending the series would make use of. This is due to the fact that the series restricts itself to a rigid, linear structure. The protagonist is blackmailed and, as a result, ends up 'developing' feelings for the blackmailer. Because of this aforementioned linear structure, the show is unable to diversify and, in turn, fails to be unique in any aspect.-Characters-The characters, if one could refer to them as such, are the weakest aspect of Oreshura. Why, you ask? Well, there are two reasons. First and foremost, as this is a generic harem, each character follows the conventions dictated by common characer archetypes that are seen in anime. We have all of the typical cast of characters: The blissfully unaware protagonist (Eita), the childhood friend (Chiwa), the tsundere and other childhood friend (Ai), and finally, the highly irritating hussy that is Masuzu Natsukawa. The final mention brings me nicely into my explanation of the second reason for why the show's characterisation is its weakest aspect.The second reason is, of course, that Oreshura's main heroine is the epitome of impertinence. As such, this renders her as a character that is difficult to tolerate, let alone one that the viewer can grow to love. While it is not necessary for a heroine to be likeable, it is necessary for the show to provide a valid reason for them acting in the manner that makes them so unlikable, which Oreshura tries to gloss over, so to speak.Thus, we have a cast that is exceedingly generic and a main heroine that is very difficult, if not impossible, to tolerate due to the fact that a legitimate reason is never provided to compensate for her distasteful personality.-Art and Animation-The show's art style is definitely one of its stronger points. Each scene in Oreshura is vibrant and colourful, fitting in with the overall upbeat nature of the show. Even so, the art is not particularly detailed, making it seem somewhat lacklustre in comparison to other anime series.The animation of the show is, for the most part, consistent and fluid. That being said, there were certain points in the show where the animation was neglected, resulting in the inconsistent and unrealistic movement of vehicles, characters, and so on.-Music-Unfortunately for Oreshura, the art and animation are the only redeeming feature of the show. The music used is not very memorable, and I personally found the opening theme of the show to be irritating, as opposed to catchy and enjoyable, which is what it was apparently trying to be.-Conclusion-Perhaps the most important question would be whether or not I would recommend this anime series. My answer to this question is, obviously, no. However, if you intend to watch this show despite having read through this review, then I have no intention of stopping you. I do, however, recommend that you stream this show via a legal streaming website such as Crunchyroll, as opposed to purchasing a Blu-Ray and/or DVD release of the show. If you are reading this on Crunchyroll, please disregard the previous statement.Overall, this show is far too generic and bland for me to recommend to any person. The characters do not undergo any development as they are restricted by the archetypes that they represent. This, in turn, makes the intended emotional points in the show seem far less believable and they ultimately fall flat as a result.Furthermore, a predictable ending makes the watching the show a pointless exercise, as one could easily surmise how the show would end, many episodes in advance.-Afterword-Well, if you actually took the time to read through this review, I thank you. If you agree with my review, please feel free to say so. Likewise, if you happen to disagree with my review or have any advice which could help me improve upon my next review, please leave some feedback on my MAL or Crunchyroll profile page, depending on which website you are reading this on.TL;DR:Please take the time to read the review. I refuse to summarise this review for those of you who are not willing to read through it in the first instance, or at the very least, skim through it.

Ore no Kanojo to Osananajimi ga Shuraba SugiruTo be honest, when I started this series, I was expecting a fresh, new romance anime about interesting character that “gave up” on love. This is not the case, the show had an opportunity to start an original Rom/Com by matching a hopeless guy who focuses on his studies rather than women who is then thrown feet first into a relationship he has no control over thus leading into shenanigans and mishaps but I was sorely mistaken.Story 6/10:The plot was unoriginal and poorly executed. It lives up to its name as a Rom/Com by being unable to build up a viable plot by relying heavily on comedy and simply sets up all the girls for Eita’s harem. The pacing is rather fast as it only has 2 episodes to set up the story behind each of the girls and how they came to love Eita making sympathy hard to make with the characters. The characters are quite 1-dimensional and don’t really have much outstanding features to them. There are a few exceptions to the plot’s execution, when the story turns to the drama section, trying to touch the viewer’s feelings, it succeeds. In the end, OreShura is mainly a show for the laughs and focuses on the comedy and romance is a side-dish.Art 8/10:From background to character design, overall the art was great. It gave a happy atmosphere matching to that of a Rom/Com. The characters look unique and don’t, magically, look the same as some animes tend to do. The lighting was well done but shadows seem somewhat lacking. Effects don’t happen very often (love hearts and such) but in certain scenes for example, when Masuzu reads from Eita’s notebook, it looks wonderful and nice to watch.Sound 9/10:Sound was great overall; it achieved engaging sounds which catches the viewer’s attention with its background music and ambient sounds such as the sounds of busy streets and the ticking of a clock and is quite consistent as it doesn’t suddenly become silent. The OP is very cheery and catchy which gets you into the show.Characters 6/10:The characters are very cliché and unoriginal. Our main character, Kidou Eita, who seems to be an interesting character by “giving up on love” first, seems like a good idea but it has the opposite effect. Because of this, Eita is completely clueless in romance and is very dense about the girls around him. He is a recovering victim from “eighth-grader syndrome” which is held against his own will by the likes of Natsukawa Masuzu who uses it as blackmail.Our female leads aren’t any better, our supposed idol, Masuzu, doesn’t seem popular at all after the first episode despite this is one of her main traits, then we have the childhood friend (>_>) Chiwa, who is a failure in love unable to show her feeling to Eita, now we have Himeka, another victim of eight-grader syndrome who sticks to Eita like super glue, and finally we have the wonderful tsundere with pink hair, Ai, she uses her best friend (Whose gender can't be defined) as a wing(wo?)man. We now have a fleeting team of flavorless women lined up for Eita's harem. Not much exciting here.Overall 7/10:If it wasn’t for the art and the big laughs every now and then, I might have given up on this series. If you are looking for an intricate plot with twists and turns, this is not for you. This is more of a comedy than a romance. The comedy certainly will make you laugh or at least chuckle once. If you love comedies, this is show if definitely for you.
