It was meant to be taken as a defense to the reverse harem genre as a whole which was a lot less popular during the time I wrote this than it is now. There is literally nothing to be lost and nothing to gain, except time and knowledge on how not to write a shoujo.ĮDIT2016: Please take into consideration that this was written 3 years ago and the things I've written here are quite biased from an otome game fan side. You got a bunch of hot guys that want your tits and a girl who's so bland that you can insert my chihuahua in it and it would probably make the story more interesting. Now I will ask you this again - are you a lonely and angsty teenage girl? Do you dream of many a men surrounding you, kissing you, pinning you behind alley's, and drugging you? Do you want to live in this life? If so, then look no further, my dears. If you're the type that's into that, then I'm sure your enjoyment of this will be much, much higher then mine.
So, enjoyment? I'm sorry, but I'm not the type of person that gets wet from putting myself in the shoes of a nobody and letting all these hot guys date and rape me. I'm convinced to hear more of Nagi Yanagi's stuff. Soundtrack is merely mediocre and unmemorable, though bonus points are awarded for such an awesome opening song. The men are attractive, which is a key for these anime, and the backgrounds are well-created. The eyes look downright gorgeous and the opening theme is pretty much eyecandy. Oh uh, the positives? Well, the art is pretty crisp, as expected of Brain's Base. Some want to play her, others want to lock her up in a cage. Great example, right guys? The male characters ain't any better - they're all pretty much just a bunch of hot dude's lusting after Heroine for their own fucked up reasons.
She never sticks up for herself, and is even willing to stay with a man whom she pretty much knows will dump her when his time limit is up. Almost all the guys do extremely improper things to her, like shoving her against a tree in the middle of the dark against her will or forcefully kissing her, getting too close to her, anything. Speaking of Heroine's reliance, this also brings another issue: she's submissive. Fucking Nyuu from Elfen Lied had more of a personality then her, and she couldn't even dress herself. Oh yeah, having amnesia ain't excuse for not having a personality. Heroine is a story-dragger - she provides little to no advancement to the plot herself and has to rely on everyone else to push her in any direction possible. Isn't that awesome, girls? You don't even have to get depressed when hot guy #1 doesn't call out your name! It makes self-insertion much, much easier. This girl is so bland, so personality-less, and used as such a wish-fullfillment device that she doesn't even have a name. And that's saying a lot, because she hardly does ANYTHING.Īnd here comes our other issue, the Heroine herself. that's probably the least she's done throughout the show. The story is supposedly about the Heroine collecting her memories, but uh. The pacing moves by pretttty damn slowly, to the point where even when we hit episode nine, nearly nothing is known about the main plot or what exactly is going on.
The story has two main issues: the pacing and the Heroine. By date I mean both the month and day and her current boyfriend. She's also trapped in this sort of "time loop." Basically, each time she dies, the date resets. Heroine finds herself awakening with no memories, and it's up to her and a spirit called Orion to collect her memories. we just call her Heroine? Because her boyfriends that love her oh so dearly never bother to call her by her name? Yeah. The story centers around our lead girl, erm, I guess In case you don't get the vibe, this is pretty much a reverse harem used primarily for female wish-fulfillment. Are you a lonely, boy-less teenage girl? Do you wish you could have many hot guys surrounded by you, astounded by you for no real reason? What about living in a world where you get to date and be submissive to no, not just one attractive male, but over FOUR of them in many different worlds? Does that sound like the dream life to you? Have no fear, "Amnesia" is just what you need to fulfill this!
