Engage Kiss

The protagonist is a kind of a moron, so I figure that he probably deserves his troubles as well as the crazy harem of girls who would fight to the death over him (and maybe even want to kill him). It's probably the first time I don't envy the protagonist one bit. On the other hand, I also have admiration for Shuu. He's an interesting example of what a man is willing to sacrifice to learn the truth about his family. I also wonder if the final revelation was really worth it. Anyway, the story wasn't that bad, it had some compelling ideas and interesting twists. On the other hand, things sometimes got so illogical that I had to take it with a massive pinch of salt to make it to the end. Some situations were quite transparent, for example, when it was mentioned in the show that there was a traitor among those around the main character, I just smiled to myself and immediately knew who it was. The characters didn’t really do it for me. The girls aren’t very likable, plus, they seem rather dangerous. Apart from them, there’s nobody interesting or particularly memorable, except for the weird Mikhail perhaps. I didn’t understand how he could be put in charge of anything, let alone protecting the city. What I find excellent about the series, thanks to the A-1 Pictures animation studio, was the visuals and the fights, which were the main reason why I kept watching the show. It was the animation that made me give this below-average series a slightly higher rating. 5/10 (24/09/2022)
