Seriously, is it that bad to find this show entertaining? One can argue this is a typical slice of life, school, harem anime with typical character types and predictable story and you would not be far off. But, if you don't LIKE watching things like this, why are you watching it in the first place? Akane-iro is geared to the 'veteran' otaku who love specific voice actors or character types, or enjoy when different flags get triggered (like hot springs, school festivals, or costume changes) aka: fanservice. You can only watch so many different slice of life harem comedy titles to realize if you ...

Preliminary (5/12 eps)

Akane-Iro ni Somaru Saka is the newest eroge adaptation by TNK, which are more famous for their work in School Days. Oh, another eroge made into an anime...inb4lameharemrite? Thats probably one of the first thoughts what will cross your mind when approaching this title, and to be honest you are not that wrong. If you cannot handle these times of anime, then you might as well give this a pass.

Story: The story is nothing out of the ordinary for this anime, it follows a lot of cliches many animes have done in the past for this genre. The main heroine Katagiri Yuuhi, gets into trouble ...

I only write reviews which defend animes thats been UNDERATED like this one.
I have no idea why people are mocking this anime, there is nothing wrong with this anime.
The storyline follows the classic romance comedy, face it people, pretty much All romance comedies containing harems follow pretty much the same storyline, in fact this anime was actually more difficult to predict than standard romance comedies. I actually predicted the ending wrong which very very rarely happens.

I see in some reviews people mentioned that this anime was Cliche. I don't know how many romance comedies you've seen but to call this anime "Cliche" you obviously haven't ...

Akane-iro ni Somaru Saka has potential, but fails to deliver it throughout the episodes. The first episode sets up the story, and it is certainly interesting. However, unfortunately from there, it goes downhill. From a great introduction, Akane-iro ni Somaru Saka then becomes dully episodic, and most of episodes have little to do with with the actual story. The plot is really only addressed in the last 2 episodes, which, I have to admit, does do a decent job in wrapping everything up.

The characters are unique, but their development throughout the anime is pretty bland.You can just expect how each character would act in any ...

I can't describe how blown away I was after watching this. This is not one of your typical harem animes. Yes indeed the plot has been totally overused, but the real plot is what makes it different from all the other animes I've seen.

First of all let me say this: This is not your typical comedy/harem anime like Love Hina or School Rumble. This to me is more drama/harem. There are funny moments indeed, but there is more emtional drama than comedy throughout the anime. The anime, to the average comic/harem lover will be kinda slow and with little or ...

If you don't like personal opinion reviews please skip this review.

Everyone talks about how terrible the story was, and how it raised expectations, but then didn't meet them even half way...but I honestly loved it! The characters, in my opinion, were VERY well done!!

Story: Junichi, and Minato live together (Brother and sister), but there has always been a strange sexual attraction...Then Yuuhi comes to move in! Who is 'Yuuhi'? She's the cute, tsundre who Junichi is going to marry! Wait--what? Yes, it is an arranged marriage. Minato and Yuuhi quickly become friends...but what about the strange attraction between Minato and Junichi? It doesn't fade away...

I've seen lots of romance anime and maybe 1/4 of them lack something, and it's originality. Would I group this anime with that 1/4? Yes I would.

Story: 6/10

The story in the anime is not that original, as I've seen it in lots of anime. Boy has a random encounter into a girl -> Girl transfers into that boy's school, not knowing that the boy was in the same school she was transferring in. -> turns out girl was boy's fiance -> sister gets angry. Something along those lines. The story lacked originality, and another added to that is, it was a bit boring to me. ...

Things you should know about this series:

a) The side antics and filler episodes, while humorous to a degree, feel exactly like what they are, side antics and filler. The story as a whole doesn’t suffer because of them, but you suffer through them mostly to get the tid bits of character progress they hide within them.

b) The core story should be strong enough to keep you interested, but where I feel this series kicks it up a notch is within the last two to four episodes. The drama starts to build up, and the ending is refreshing in the way it breaks from the cliché ...

Well, I finished watching 'Akane-iro ni Somaru Saka'. A curious romance story, but the most surprising thing is the last episode. It was unbelievable. That's truth, I can't understand why the writes choose this way to end the anime.

Anyway, I can't fault. The story was interesting, and feelings and relationships between characters were amezing. And the nude scenes... SO interesting :P

It's sad that there won't be a second season. It would be interesting see more episodes after the last episode event. In any case, I liked that anime.

If you plan on watching this anime, then you must have some background in romance/harem/comedy. As this particular genre dictates, try not to pick on originality, because it is non-existant in this genre.
Overall, this show isn't exactly a must watch. I like to point out some pros/cons.
Pros:
-cast (this anime has some serious big names involved in term of art/character design, voice actors)
-This is what I found to be the best one of all. The end female is unexpected , and gradually worked in. (Personally this gave me enjoyment score of 10. but i still have a write a fair review)
-Great ...

After playing the eroge the show was based on, I decided to give it a shot. The only things they have in common are the character designs, as most of the show has been re-written to be more of a love-comedy than a more serious love story like in the game. This isn't a downside however, the show is still enjoyable and fun to watch. However, in the later parts where the show reaches the climax, the transition from comedy to serious isn't done very smoothly and leaves a lot to be desired.

In other words, if you're just looking for a fun love comedy, then ...

After watching the first episode of the series, I was greatly reminded of one past anime I've watched: Final Approach. Although Akane-iro ni Somaru Saka gives a rather similar feel as Final Approach, nonetheless I find it very entertaining and think that it deserves 7/10.

Story: Yes I have seen anime with similar story line but the story is still different and it caught my attention. This is especially so at the ending, which gave me quite a surprise. Being a romance comedy(more of comedy actually), it will definitely give you a laugh or two each episode. However, while the story slowly builds up to a ...

This Anime is probably one of the more stereotypical of the Romance/Comedy genre. Don't get me wrong, I really liked the series. It was just a bit uninteresting compared to other Romance/Comedy Anime you could have seen. But the fact that it was a basic summary of all the elements of a Romance/Comedy Anime made it a nice heart warming show to remind why I love that genre.

The story is very stereotypical, a young rich girl comes from her higher-up family to be-wed a city boy living with his caring sister. I haven't seen that in any other wife-based Anime (Sarcasm). Anyway, lovable characters pop ...

Welcome to Robert's Too Late Reviews! Today's title is very interesting in that it is pretty much a cliched stomp through the familiar grounds of romantic comedy and harem sameness, but it is charming enough on its own to warrant a look, I believe. This isn't top shelf stuff, but sometimes that's okay. Very serviceable, even if somewhat predictable at times. Let's see if we will let this one on the RTLR wall, or if we will have it dead!

Story: 6
As I said, the story isn't anything to write home about. The synopsis does a good job covering what is going on. The rich girl ...

Well, this is officially my first review, so please bear with me.

Story: 6/10
I liked the way the story progresses for the most part, it was exciting to see what would happen next and how the relationships develop. You get to see how the main character is dealing with an uneasy situation at home all while all his friends seem to be prying in on his private life no matter how hard he tries to keep it to himself. Pretty standard slice of life stuff, just seeing how everyone interacts with each other on a daily basis. My only quarrel with this show is that it ...

I've always been a fan of the 12 episode series thing, and I thought this one had a good story for such a short series, but like a lot of the 12 episode series I've watched, it didn't wrap it up as much as I was hoping...

The story itself was good, rich girl comes to town to live with her fiance to get to know him better, runs into a group of gangsters, boy comes to her rescue, she falls in love with him... yada yada yada, unoriginal was what I thought at first, but then as soon as she fell in love ...

Akaneiro ni Somaru Saka (2008)

Story

An unexpected meeting with a girl, an unexpected engagement and living together is the gist. It is a form of Harem that has a bit more refined in that the girls are not all immediately over the guy with crazy actions of love, but they are more a group of friends that show interest and respect each other for the most part vibe. Depending on whether it is the game, Manga or Anime they have different endings. Some vary between the sister being blood-related and some not so that changes endings around. There is a bit of a Yosuga no Sora ...

Akane-iro ni Somaru Saka is not your typical slice of life comedy, it delves deep into one's owns emotions and reveals what you actually think. The actual ratings were very high at first but I personally did not like how the series ended, with an unexpected twist that almost no one could predict. Throughout a good romantic series but it left the viewer wondering of what could of been.
