Apr 24, 2010 Ranivus Recommended 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 ... Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 29, 2008 kevo Mixed Feelings Akane-iro ni Somaru Saka is an anime that hurts itself by raising expectations and failing to meet them like clockwork. It goes out of its way to repeatedly build from mediocrity only to plunge itself back down to the point where you wonder why you even gave it much of a chance. It's someone jumping out of a 3 story building and landing on concrete, only to climb back up and jump over and over again. Until the person's bones are mush and the series limps to its god-awful ending. As a series in general, Akane-iro ni Somaru Saka (from here on, Akasaka) is passable, I ... Read more Open Gift Report
May 26, 2009 Skadi Mixed Feelings There are some shows that really have no business being bad. Akane-iro ni Somaru Saka is one of those. When you look at the talent gathered for this series it practically reads as a who’s who of seiyuu talent. Unfortunately it is that talent that is one of the few bright spots in what is otherwise a pretty dismal series. The story unfolds as your standard harem anime. I always find some of the ridiculous situations these writers come up with quite hilarious. A spoiled rich girl ends up living with a pair of siblings (not related by blood of course, ...

Nov 23, 2008 Ceptryn Mixed Feelings Watching Akane-iro is akin to dating the hot blond in class, only to find out that the most exciting conversation they can field is who Britanny Spears will date next. Akane-iro certainly had potential. Attractive character designs, famous voice actors, a decent sound track. Sure, like the desire to go out with blond bombshell, the story of a girl forced to move into the house of his future fiancee... who *happens* to be a your average anime guy who just also* happens* to have a hot sister is not exactly original. But you think "Hey, the voice actors and animations are good, and such stories, no matter ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jan 17, 2009 Master10K Not Recommended Akane-iro ni Somaru Saka is a Romantic, Comedy like any other. That’s pretty much all there is to describe this mediocre anime series and if that doesn’t satisfy your information needs then by all means continue with this review. “Seen it, been there, done that…” Those are the thoughts that came to mind whilst I watched the first episode. It starts of ordinary enough when some posh girl (Yuuhi) is helped out by some guy (Junichi), who’s pretty well-known for some stupid rumour. Well at the beginning of the new school semester it comes to no surprise that said girl transfers to Junichi’s school and thus ... Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 20, 2008 maybelletea Mixed Feelings Well... honestly, I don't know why I enjoyed watching Akane-iro ni Somaru Saka like I did, but here I am. I didn't take it seriously, though, for it was impossible to take it seriously. While I was watching it I was really just making fun of it most of the time. Why, you might ask? Well… it was just so darn stupid. Clichéd. Annoying. You get the picture. The story centers around a seemingly normal guy named Junichi, who rescues a tempered girl named Yuuhi (what is up with that girl’s hair?) from some guys who were trying to pick her up (oh wow, an example ...

Nov 3, 2008 game8910 Recommended 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 ...

Dec 29, 2008 Retro8bit Mixed Feelings Akane-iro ni Somaru Saka is pretty much your basic "harem anime, " and I have to say that it stays pretty tried and true with its formula. It starts off with Junichi (main male lead) meeting this mysterious rich female transfer student (Yuuhi) who has been forced to marry him by her dad. This happens early on and you would expect the rest of the anime to have them slowly grow close to each other, but oddly enough it doesn’t really do that, even though they are the main couple of the title. For most of the anime it seems to have Junichi and his friends ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jan 26, 2009 AnimeKraze Recommended I only write reviews which defend animes thats been UNDERATED like this one. 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 ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jan 1, 2009 gdavge2003 Recommended 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 ... Read more Open Gift Report

Aug 9, 2010 SweetIchigo Mixed Feelings Akane-iro ni Somaru Saka at first seems like a cliche romance and all. Accidentally meeting in an awkward way and ending up together. Thle story would've fit like that especially since the two main protagonists were giving hints of their feelings for each other. but that wasn't the case, it didn't happen. I gave the story a 5/10 because I personally hated how the story ended. I wanted it to be a bit more cliched cos if it was it would have been more fun to enjoy since you get those butterflies in the end when you see that the two main characters end up ...

Jul 8, 2024 CBMiura Not Recommended Even though it's a decent anime, I wouldn't recommend it. Let's understand why... As I said, the anime it's decent, the characters development, the animation, the daily life story are decent. But, the turn of events just ruined everything. You know when something it's building towards something and out of nowhere just, change everything and leaves you with a poker face. The anime itself it's enjoyable, even more if you read this review first and don't expect anything from the anime. If you want to watch, keep that in mind. But if you don't, you didn't lost much. I don't recommend. Read more Open Gift Report
Oct 2, 2009 HaremFanatic Recommended 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 ...

Oct 23, 2011 Yemi_Hikari Mixed Feelings “Akane-iro ni Somaru Saka” is one of those Anime that draws you in with the first episode. At the beginning of the series, you end up forming high expectations of the Anime because it in the long run is different from the cliché, only to have these expectations dashed at the end of the Anime because the storyline just couldn't hold itself together. Because of this, it is going to be very hard to leave out spoilers in my review. The Anime starts off with the protagonist finding out that he has a fiance and the two of them living together. This particular plot device is ... Read more Open Gift Report

Dec 23, 2011 Feinerine Not Recommended Adaptations of harem based eroge have increased in frequency lately, Akane-iro ni Somaru Saka (hereby referred to as "Akasaka") is an example of one that has possibly been butchered due to some factors (using the seiyuu from the PS2 adaptations, the ending). Directed by Keitarou Motonaga, notorious for directing other harem anime (School Days, Onii-chan no Koto) and Katanagatari (a big surprise) Akasaka proves that it is a product of many trite, anime/eroge cliches that were mixed in a blender of sorts with hints of fanservice added as some sort of seasoning. Ah yes, the eroge itself was produced by feng around 1 year before ... Read more Open Gift Report
Feb 20, 2011 Drumming1997 Recommended 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... Art: ... Read more Open Gift Report
Aug 2, 2022 BAT_verified Not Recommended it was a decent anime until minato ruined it. the fact that he chose his sister is stupid. he didnt do anything wrong and yet he was in the wrong. the ending is so disappointing i cant believe that i spent hours of my summer vacation watching this absolute garbage. watching this was like watching a series and you wait months for the ending and it being a rick roll. for those who are considering watching this anime i wont tell you not to. this is honestly the worst anime i have ever seen watching this anime was lethal wait no atrocious Read more Open Gift Report More Reviews |
