Review

I thought this was a clever series and really enjoyed it, they adapted it very well from the game. For the first series my favourite characters were probably Ayato, Laito and Kanato. This is probably because the triplets took centre stage in the second half whilst the other Sakamaki siblings fell into the background a little. I will agree that Yui is not strong but her character isn't really meant to be so her persona doesn't bother me. The artwork was excellent, I was very impressed with the detail. The voice acting was very good as well (I know they were the same voices from the game but they played out very well in anime form too). The music was good, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the opening sequence (I usually skip them). In the second series I was pleased to see the writers introduce the Mukami's who gave the show another level. I found a soft spot for Azusa and like in the first series I liked looking at backstories. There was less action but I was pleased with the ending particularly since it suggested there would be a third series which I had been hoping for as there is plenty more game material to cover. This series isn't for everyone but and I had a very good time watching it and if male-harem romance is something you're into I would suggest giving it a show.

score 10/10
