Review of Love Tyrant
(SPOILERS, GO TO LAST PARAGRAPH) Renai Boukun was one of the first anime I have ever watched, and I thank myself for that. When it came out on Cruncyroll, I saw an add for it and I thought "Hey, this sounds interesting". I'll go over the intro first. The intro gives the song a lot of personality and up to this day I had the intro and the OUTRO stuck in my head! Honestly, I've watched many more anime and I can say, usually outros suck. I think we can all agree on that. But the fact that one line from that outro had been stuckin my head for over 1 year tells me the sound is great.
The story is OK-ish? The two things that brings it down was the introduction of a certain yangire and getting into depth on Akane's home life. Not the fact that Yuzu is her kind-of-half sister, but her mom's introduction. Also, the ending. Really? About everyone's parents (acceptation for Seiji's parents, that one's funny) are pure trash. It ruins the story, but what saves it is the comedy.
The art is perfect. All the light colors give a bouncy, playful personality to the show all in all. The attention to detail on Guri's ears and eyebrows distinguish her from any other anime girl. If I were to black her out and look at her silhouette, what would give her away is her ears. The only thing I would change would be to replace the chibis with The Ancient Magus' Bride's chibis.
The characters are great. They give off such personality and make jokes out of every trope. Akane and Seiji would be tied, Seiji being your everyday harem protagonist and says what we're all thinking when in that kind of situation. Akane's yandere-ism is took to the extent where it's like she's that one kid in a role-play wither their Mary Sue oc and has a tie between blood and love lust. The set of characters in their love (pentagon?) have such depth and personality, plus a funny overexaderation of tropes.
I really enjoyed this anime, being a beginner in anime, yet I warn you, MANY PANTY SHOTS, if you aren't interested in that.
