Review of Love Tyrant

Renai Boukun (or Love Tyrant) was a really interesting anime. Consider it like a wild ride. It will go from one place to another in a matter of minutes. I overall had mixed feelings about Love Tyrant, so I am giving this a 7, as I felt a 6 would be too harsh. . STORY: 6/10 From the story aspect itself, I wasn't too fond of this. Just in the first episode, my head was so filled up with what was going in in a few minutes that I couldn't even pay attention. We are introduced to so many characters and other things at once you can'teven tell what is going on. But other episodes, the plot is slower. The plot speed varies from episode to episode and it can be problematic to have to pay attention to this. I feel like in some episodes it tries to shove everything down the viewer's throats that I feel bored. But this only happened occasionally.

ART: 8/10
Rarely can anime mess up on art. And Love Tyrant wasn't an example of anime that messed up on its art. But I wasn't sure about the outlining of the drawings, as they aren't the usual black. They are a grey-ish color that I just had to get used to. The art was overall very consistent, but sometimes the eyes can be painfully small and the color contrasts can be weird. One example was Yuzu's hair color with her eye color. I found this combination way too vivid for me but it was fine.

CHARACTERS: 5/10
This has to be the only problematic aspect of the show. Akane Hiyama was my favorite, so I will exclude her from this.

Seiji Aino is your usual harem protagonist, and he was even called this in the show itself! The only exception is he has blue hair. Wow! So creative! Instead of giving him good traits, EMT Squared decides to let him get trampled on by all the girls and he won't react to this at all.

Yuzu Kichougasaki was a character I thought I'd like. But little did I know she was just another crappy tsundere. She always complains so much and causes tension between the characters. Also her voice is annoying to hear and for a high/middle schooler, it sounds childish. Keep in mind I watched the dub.

Akua Aino was really annoying. The thing is, her personality never develops. She is in a constant state of hatred for her brother Seiji and never even shows a bit of gratitude. She always assumes her brother is just screwing his "harem".

And lastly, our main girl Guri. No matter how nice Seiji is to her, she always finds problems. I finally found the issue with most of these characters; they manage to make an issue out of everything. She is always causing issues. I have only liked her as a character for a few episodes.

All of the girls in the show beat the poor man for no reason, even if it's simply because he doesn't follow their orders or refuses to do something insane. I couldn't even stand them.

ENJOYMENT: 7/10
It was okay. I would watch this again but have to forget the awful characters.

OVERALL: It was okay. Just okay.

MY ADVICE: If you don't pay attention to the characters too much, you're all set.
