Shuumatsu no Harem

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.

I don't really like the male lead. He looked like an idiot, too naive, maybe because he was a kid. He's like a shy cat. Too much thinking. As the main male character, he was too careless.

II must confess that I didn't have a huge expectation for this title. But I must admit that the story is really good.

During the development of the episodes, the story becomes more intriguing. You will never be bored watching this anime.

The only mistakes were two episodes that were a waste of time developing the character Doi.

I loved the fan service in this anime. It gives the correct spicy and helps enter into the story's atmosphere about how the protagonists are manipulated.
