For the ReadersĪs suspected, A-1 Pictures completely overhauled the story. The harem was actually introduced very early on, even without context, and this can only mean one thing: the anime is freestyling this sh*t. The already assembled harem visits a hot spring and they just do harem stuff to the guy. Wait, the first episode is actually episode zero and it’s like an OVA of the show. Also, these characters are making a video game, right? Where is that? I’m honestly fine with that, but the title promised to raise a boring girlfriend. Hell, this is LN 101, the good ol’ reliable wish fulfillment trope. If I was a guy with short attention span then I’d have no problem enjoying the scenes of the main character being super friendly with the girls. Apparently, the harem is featured heavily but the backbone of the series, the VN, seems to progress with little care. The two girls aren’t ready to join the guy in his weird whims, but we do see them flirt with him in succeeding episodes. In the first episode alone, the harem is quickly established but the goal into making the VN isn’t really set in stone yet. Both happen to be his classmates, and both happen to be girls because of course. To make the game, he recruits a popular doujinshi artist and a popular light novel author to his cause. He promises to make everyone like her as the main heroine. When he realized the girl he likes is a super plain girl, he decided to make a visual novel about her. So the show is about a guy that had a chance encounter with a girl. Saekano is honestly confusing, since the main focus of the show isn’t really that well established. You can feel him thank his readers for loving OreImo, and all that energy is poured into Eromanga. Eromanga-sensei is a celebration of LN and the author’s success in general. Assembling a HaremĪctually, I think it’s the lack of a cohesive story that made this show flat for me. Saekano is a really good show, but I feel like I’ve seen this show before. I apologize if my review will be a bit tilted. I wanted to love this anime, but it doesn’t really do anything for me. It could be because I am just tired of LN tropes and the typical setups. It could be because the show is very similar to Eromanga-sensei and the show gave me nothing new. I even picked up the light novel to see what I missed and I still don’t get it. I finished the show, and I just feel indifferent towards it. The story seems to be a bit of a mess, but it is pretty ingenious in certain areas. It’s also produced by A-1 Pictures, so I was honestly confused at the appeal of this show. It’s kinda like Eromanga-sensei, except this anime came out first. It’s a fun show, since it’s one of those light novels that do commentary about the industry. Taking advantage of my long weekend, I tried watching the anime in two days. The fact that he never noticed her is a big problem, and he soon discovers this girl is a very plain character. As he makes a proposal to enlist his members for the project though, he discovers his heroine is actually a classmate of his. He plans on making a VN with the girl as the main heroine. He was so into it that he now wants to recreate it. Her white beret lands near Aki, and he was utterly mesmerized. He witnesses a girl on top of a hill holding onto her hair as the wind blew past her making the cherry blossoms dance with it. The anime follows a guy named Tomoya Aki who had a fated encounter one morning. It’s a thirteen episode anime about a harem doing a visual novel but it’s an all-ages VN. This anime is part of the Winter 2015 lineup, and it’s called Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata or Saekano for short. This is review number four hundred and forty one.
