I watched this immediately upon completing the main series, which was hilarious and enjoyable in many ways. A solid 9/10 in my book.

The OVA, however? I honestly found it pointless and frankly, boring. I fail to think of a single part that I thought was good. I know this is making me sound like some debbie-downer, but that's genuinely how I feel. Once the guys were out of the prison and re-integrated as regular students, they're no longer very interesting characters to follow. Granted it's only for just over 20 minutes, but my feelings remain the same in spite of that. There's simply no adversity/goal ... left. I understand this OVA exists to give them all a largely happy ending, but it just falls flat, as far as I'm concerned.

Given the relatively high rating of this OVA, I suppose I was expecting something more aligned with the main series. I wouldn't say I regret watching this, but it does sort of feel like a waste of time.

I didn't know what I expected going into this series. I seemingly stumbled across this chaotic mess with its all-over-the-place pacing, lol.

As it turns out, it's got a lot of heart and... hearts, so to speak. It's honestly much better than I thought it'd be. It bears several curious resemblances to Attack on Titan (trust me, you'll see what I mean very quickly), but it's definitely its own thing.

I'm now 11 episodes in, and everything from art to animation seems to have received much love during the creation of this anime, and the voice acting is very good as well. It's a visual spectacle ... with solid story elements that certainly deserve respect.

It's unusual to find an anime that strikes that perfect balance between unapologetic chaos and suck-you-in quality, but Tougen Anki appears to be doing just that. I'm most keen to see how this show concludes.

After having seen Grave of the Fireflies, I found myself wanting to watch something similar, so I went digging and came across "Who's Left Behind?", which doesn't seem all that popular nor known for some reason. Accordingly, it was hard to find in good quality, so 480p had to do.

It was a good. Bordering on very good, and it was beautifully put together. The non-war bits dragged on a bit too long, but once the film crossed the threshold into war film-territory, it started feeling more captivating and immersive.

Kayako has to grow up very quickly, and she learns how to become responsible from a ... much too young age due to her circumstances.

Rambling about much else feels pointless. Will I watch this again? Like GotF, probably not, but it's certainly worth watching once.

I have played/read virtually all visual novels in this series (and there are A LOT of them), and that greatly alters how I view this adaptation.

I first watched this long before getting in the VNs, and back then I thought this anime was the greatest thing since bagged milk. Now? Can't say the same. A comical amount of content was cut (23-hour VN = 50-minute anime), and the anime basically speedruns to the "end". Important side-characters and side-plots are completely omitted, which makes the story and the (surprisingly) rich lore feel overly linear and hollow.

In a vacuum, Kyonyuu Fantasy is a pretty and well-made anime. ... The characters and the world look good, the voice acting and the soundtrack are both good quality, and the overall enjoyment factor is high as well, but it doesn't hold a candle to the VN.

[This is a hentai, not for children]

This is written after only having seen the first episode, which just came out.

I get the feeling that it's just gonna get better because of the vibe the first episode gave me. Kind of an odd way of putting it, but yeah. I hope this show turns out well.

Story 7/10

Looks promising, I'll admit it was a little stale, but I believe it will pick up in future episodes.

... Art 7/10

The animation is pretty good, but some background effects felt cheesy, water stuff in particular, you'll know when you see it.
I like the character art style. The girls are nicely drawn and come in a variety of cup sizes. Main FC (at least I assume she's the main FC) has really big ones, one of the supporting ones is similarly equipped, and the other supporting one possesses ones of smaller proportions.

Sound 7/10

Decent, average, nothing special, whatever term explains it best.

Character 6/10

Again, after only having watched the first episode, my judgement will be limited and purely speculative.
Anyway, characters do show signs of development, by how much, I really don't know as of now. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Overall 7/10

Show has potential, now it's just up to the studio not to butcher the upcoming episodes. Looking forward to the rest!

[Hentai title, not for kids blah blah blah]

This little show had good potential. Hell, the first 2 episodes were actually pretty good, but the 3rd, and the 4th one in particular were just awful. Show felt rushed and as though the studio just wanted to finish it in order to start the next project.

I was not prepared for the ending of episode 4, and that episode alone drags down my overall rating for this show by a lot. Had it ended in a similar fashion to the 3rd one, it would have been a little better, but to be honest, it doesn't really make any ... difference.

Story 5/10

As stated previously, there was potential, but that gets thrown away at the start of the 3rd episode. Mediocre at best.

Art 8/10

Probably the best aspect of the show, it's just a shame it's nowhere near good enough to make up for severe lack of everything else, basically.
The animation is nice and fluid, the girls are aesthetically pleasing to look at and possess pretty big breasts (not humongous, but still really big) and their physics are nicely done.
The show contains mostly pale characters, but there is one dark skinned girl who appears throughout the episodes.
Background art was also good, but nothing special.

Sound 7/10

Typical hentai sex sounds and whatnot. Average soundtrack.

Character 5/10

Only character that appears to have even the slightest development is the main MC. The rest just remain as they are, or so I remember at least.

Overall 5/10

Only watch this if you need something new to watch and can't seem to find anything else at the time. I will not watch this a second time.
