Shuumatsu no Harem

Although there are many things about World's End Harem to dislike-to the point where I might very well do the same-I anticipate that reviews with ratings of four and lower will predominate in this section. Nevertheless, I've come here to highlight the positive aspects of the show. I mean, I watch anime for enjoyment; you know, if I don't like it, I just kind of turn it off. These kinds of anime don't really cynically appeal to me, even though they shouldn't be taken too seriously. I also don't have very high standards.

The theme of a world where males vanish as a result of Operation Man Bad's success is explored in the anime. Despite the slow pacing, the characters try to return the scene to a perfect one. As the episodes go by, the leisurely pacing of the anime keeps viewers interested and curious about what else can happen in this bizarre universe. The writers manage to preserve the premise of men missing, despite the possibility for a fanciful universe. The animation is compelling and well-made overall.

The protagonist of the narrative is a self-insert figure named Megane, who bears similarities to Redo Of Healer's Keyaruga. It's intriguing to watch Megane grow from being a sweet, loving person to being a more evil one. No. 2 likewise undergoes a substantial change as he considers his circumstances and behavior. In a world where orgasm is promoted more often than people are informed, this change is remarkable. It's intriguing to consider that, in this situation, one might be doing someone's mother.

In any case, the major man. Reito. I can truly respect him for his sincere "I don't touch boobs" kind of person while he works to save the planet. When I say pure-hearted, I mean it in the extreme; this guy gives up everything for one female who is committing a variety of outrageous activities. It's a little strange, but I will tell you that at least he isn't completely boring and that he has reasons to act in the current circumstance, which is great I suppose.

So World's End Harem is a series about a man who wakes up in a world where the MK (Man Killer) Virus has decimated the population of men by 99.9%, there's like 1 million men remaining in the world. This is explained in an exposition dump. Our character wakes up, and is surrounded by women. Many women who barely wear clothing.

They start off introducing him into the world where they take him outside, where a woman throws herself at him only to be hit by a taser. I don't know if that was meant to be comedic or horrifying, it just came off odd. Our protagonist is put off by this, and right away you just know how it's going to be.

Women are constantly approaching him, coming onto him, even the woman who is supposed to be his caretaker wants him, but no. This is an anime man, so he refuses as much as possible. If you watch the uncensored version there's a lot of breasts, but that's really all there is for nudity. At one point the protagonist suffers a scratch and one of his bodyguards rips off the bottom of her shirt to wrap his wound, which exposes her breasts. This series is pretty much H, but because they don't show (or blur as is usually the case) genitals, it's classified as ecchi instead so it can be played on TV (in Japan that is).

Pretty lame loophole, and pretty lame anime. It's got nice art, but the story exists only because it's expected to be there, and this is pretty much just borderline adult material that goes soft to avoid the adult rating.

It was a very average anime and definitely not worth the hype. The storyline was kinda rushed and character development was almost missing until half-way through the show. I could have rated it 1 star but I think Doi character pulled the show.

This anime series is set 2045 and a virus has killed 99.9 percent of all men; the only survivors are those who placed in cryostasis before it struck. Five of these men in Japan appear to be immune to the disease. For humanity to survive these will be expected to mate with many women; for reasons of plot artificial insemination won't work. These survivors include Reito Mizuhara, who refuses to mate as he is saving himself for his sweetheart Elisa, who can't be located; this is permitted as he works to help in the search for a cure for the condition. We also follow Shota Doi; he was bullied at school before the virus struck but now he enjoying be the object of girls' desires; rarely denying their advances. As theories about the origins of the virus circulate tensions rise and the surviving men become targets of those wanting them for their societies.

It must be said; this series is fairly trashy and makes no attempt to hide it... the obvious censorship screams out 'buy the DVD/Blu-ray to see what's hidden'! The story is decent enough and the central idea provides a good excuse for unlikely characters to be the centres of harems. It is also one of the rare examples of a character taking full advantage of his harem... I think the only other one I've seen was the infamous 'School Days' and that had far less fan service. The animation and character designs are decent enough although the frequent censorship is often distracting and seems to hide more than is necessary to maintain decency. Things get a bit more interesting as the series gets near its end but the end itself feels rushed; as if the makers were suddenly told they were on the final episode when they thought they had two or three to go. Overall I certainly wouldn't call this a must see; it wasn't terrible but it is certainly trashier than it needed to be.

These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.

Despite many unanswered questions, this series was able to create a new story line.

Although it can be too far to happen in reality, it is not impossible.

I find it admirable at the initial thought of the story, the death of all the men in the world by an unknown virus.

I am waiting for its second season and I hope that the questions that were left unanswered in the first season will be answered in the second season.

The characters play their roles well, however, the presence of many of them remains short and unknown.

I'm really looking forward to the second season... thank you for everything.

Good luck.
