The concept could be really interesting even for the normal anime. Since it is used in Yaoi, we could only imagine the shock value of the mind reader uke character that there is a man interested in him. There were some bunch of nice set-ups that could help in bringing the characters together.

However, since the characters were 30 old, they would show so much maturity that never do we see them fight, despite the series of misunderstandings. That's where the apparent creative ideas were lost. The characters in Yes Ka No Ka Hanbun ka were also older. However, they weren't salarymen and they had unique jobs that would make them somewhat famous. Hence, we could at times see them behaving like young people, who would often end up expressing themselves openly. However, in this Cherry magic anime, the certain layer of professionalism is never lost in the main characters even when they are enjoying romance. In fact, one of the secondary uke character was a young dancer, just recently graduated. We could've expected him to be bit dramatic but no even he was behaving like the grown-ups. He has a one tooth face and upon few meetings, his seme love interest, who is an author, reveals that he has started writing the tsundere characters lately unlike before. However, never did I notice any of his outright Tsundere traits. Moreover, you desperately needed an other character to convey that he is a tsundere.

Quite similarly, there was a female character, a fujoshi, who seems to be reacting how the mangaka thought the fujoshi and fudanshi viewers react. But her character that tried to be a bridge between the viewers and the two of the main characters fell down like a London's bridge. Since there was never any major tension or any hyper exciting moments between the two characters, one may not feel too excitement while watching this series.

I did like the concept so much because in the end, as the character loses his ability upon having the sex, it gave me the feeling of it's much larger purpose in the storyline. From the character's perspective, it is the kind of a universal or the godly assistance he received to have a chance to connect with someone.

Overall, it is a decent series if you don't expect much. Good enough to kill time.

There is this character of Ranbir Kapoor, who appeared as an old man in the first scene. The year mentioned was 2056. Then we see him getting severely injured almost multiple times - literally requiring an heart transplantation to survive and also goes deaf. He still manages to survive at least till his 70s. We still don't know what he is yet to go through in the sequel Animal park. In fact, it was surprising how he managed to stay alive throughout the movie. The kind of a character he was, it wouldn't have been surprising had he gone through numerous assassination attempts time and again. His fighting style though was never explained. What kind of skills he possessed. From where did he learn them. What makes him easily handle dozens of men at a time. Those men, the henchmen of the antagonists would certainly be trained fighters.

This is a masala entertainer and you won't be bored watching this movie despite it being 3 and the half hours long. The movie as a whole seems to have paid tribute to the Sikh empire who fought against the Afghans and also paid homage to the Maratha empire for a brief period.
