Green Green

===Animation=== Quite nice and steady animation. The character designs are a bit on the simplistic side, but they are nice to watch. Funny scenes are drawn very well, and there are quite a few of them. You will find a lot of ecchi (especially panty shots and the "top part") in this series, but not just light stuff. In my honest opinion this series does touch the border of hentai with some scenes... ===Sound=== Now this is something that raises the overall rating of the series by quite a fair margin. The opening tune is average, but the ending done by YURIA is something that makes me wantto learn how to play an electric guitar. The tune is really catchy and the vocals are superb; as expect of YURIA... Another praise goes to the background music, which has especially nice piano pieces. ===Story=== An aspect on which I can't write too much about. It was poor; A girl suddenly appears and just doesn't stop harassing the main male character. I won't give any spoilers, but the storyline is explained very briefly and poorly, and the ending is rushed. Side stories kind of balance this fact, since they were fairly good, but not complex enough to reveal all aspects of the characters. ===Characters=== Since this is a shounen anime you can expect quite a few (cute) female characters, which this anime successfully delivers. Each of them is different. Some girls are normal, one is tsundere, another is very shy and then you have the weird ones as well. Oh, and we can't forget the teacher with a large chest. As you can see, this is quite a typical aspect of this kind of genre. Most of the female characters have their own side stories, with the main male character of course, which give us an inside into their life and personality, but none of them are developed enough (perhaps playing the game would help here). Now onto the male characters; There are quite a few of them. The main male character is the most important one of course. He's a typical "good and nice" guy that you'll find in most harem animes. Now, all the remaining characters are simply ugly perverts as described by the female characters. They are there to provide entertainment, and they do it well. It all makes me sometimes wonder: "What is this main character doing in a school filled with pervs and rejects. He doesn't even fit there at all?!" ===Enjoyment=== As I mentioned before this series does contain some good comedy, even though some scenes can be questionable (and some take it too far). It was a good watch, but it's not the weak core plot that makes it good. It's the characters and situations that they get into that count. To sum all this up, rewatching the whole series just for the plot would be a waste of time, but as for the rest I wouldn't have any objections.

What would happen if you took a Japanese porno game, removed all the sex scenes, and released it as an anime so people could enjoy the ingenious plot? On the good end of the spectrum with "good" being a relative term, you get Fate Stay Night. On the unholy end of the spectrum you get the evil known as Green Green! plot: 1/10 Green Green is about an all male school located in the middle of nowhere that suddenly has female guest students for a few months as a social experiment. Now the boys must spend those months trying to get into the girls' pants. That's it.That's the entire plot. The reason Fate Stay Night worked was because it actually had a plot and characters beyond a bare bones set up for characters to start banging! Even Seikon no Qwasar tried harder than this to develop a plot! Green Green has the plot complexity of a seedy 1970s porno with Ron Jeremy or John Holmes. A pizza delivery guy goes over to a hot chick's house and suddenly the power goes out. We took out all the fucking scenes so...they sit around and do nothing. End. Fin. Das Ende characters: 1/10 Our bland and shitty MC is named Yusuke, NOT to be confused with infinitely better MCs of the same name. The other main characters are a trio of bumbling idiots called appropriately... the "idiot trio". Dear GOD do I hate these 3 guys! They are some of the most loathsome, obnoxious, odious characters I have ever seen in an anime. They are supposed to be the comic relief, but instead they simply cause the viewer to grind his or her teeth into dust. They were supposed to have an annoying yet likeable dynamic similar to Team Rocket from Pokemon. However, I could never hate Jesse, James, and Meowth like I hate these fuckers no matter how stale and repetitive the Team Rocket Motto got after 300 episodes. Imagine you took Team Rocket's level of redundant obnoxiousness, but replaced Jesse, James, and Meowth with: Shou Tucker from FMA, Makoto from School Days, and pedo stepfather from Elfen Lied. THAT would be like the Idiot Trio from Green Green! art and sound: 3/10 The art looks pretty shitty, although the animators at least tried to add boob jiggle effects. The boobs look awful, but I guess I will give them a point for effort. The soundtrack...was garbage. The opening theme is J-pop ear sodomy, the background music may as well not exist, and the closing theme is more ear sodomy. The voice acting is some of the worst I have EVER heard in any anime and I have seen most of the Central Park Media titles! This is on par with fucking Garzey's Wing! Also in case anyone involved with the US dub of Green Green is reading this, the name is pronounced Yuse-kay. 2 syllables. It is NOT yu-SU-kay. You dumb bastards! Enjoyment: "Tamakeri" / 10 Don't know what tamakeri is? Google it bitches! Overall: 2/10 Green Green wanted to just be another harem comedy. It aimed for mediocrity and ended up with an absolute TRAIN WRECK of a show! I have no idea how the hell this happened. It isn't that hard to make a mediocre harem anime worthy of a 4 out of 10. Green Green just sucked a golf ball through a garden hose in every category. PS: I shouldn't use a real life tragedy to make a joke, but I couldn't mention Green Green without bringing up a certain "elephant in the room". Green Green is SO bad that it may have actually helped push a famous, mentally unstable anime critic over the edge. In the early days of youtube, one of the most popular and subscribed to anime critic was a guy named "Mr Anime". His last review was Green Green in which he was foaming at the mouth with rage at how bad this series was...then the next week he went on a murder spree and is now in jail for life with no chance of parole! Obviously Green Green can't cause neurological disorders, but could it have possibly helped give him that final push by making him REALLY angry? It can't be entirely ruled out. Green Green is simply that bad! It is the Cthulu of anime. Those that gaze upon it are driven mad!

This is the only anime I have finished that I've given the rating 1. Is this anime worthy of the rating 1? No. There should be a 0. I would give this 0. Every single aspect of this anime is a 0. When I started watching this I told myself I'd finish it no matter what because I really wanted to see it through so that I could talk about how bad it truly was. It was physical agony to watch this anime and I kid you not I started looking longingly for my kitchen knife more than once. I have never before said anything bad aboutpeople watching anime and enjoying different types of anime, but this is so bad I seriously wonder if the people that enjoyed this are watching anime for the right reasons or for any reason at all. I don't really want to talk about this animes storyboard, screenplay or characters, because as far as I'm concerned, none of this existed in Green Green. This is more of a rant than a review. No. This is a warning. Please don't watch this. It really does suck, there can be no opnion about this, this is truly bad and that's the only right opinion, trust me.

Yesterday, I thought I'd never find an anime that I could deem absolutely unwatchable. Today, I have been proven wrong. Green Green is absolutely the worst anime I've ever had the misfortune to watch. But enough of my whining, let's get onto the review. Story: 2 It makes me sick. It's a cliche concept, which is okay. But their execution absolutely ruins it. When you have a story that can be summed up in 3 episodes at most, but drag it out to 12 there is a serious problem. In fact, there are only 3 episodes that explain ANYTHING! The rest is just a mess of filler. Art: 5 Notbad, not anything to write home about. The character design was rather boring. Some characters just ended up looking like mixes between other characters in the series, and those characters usually looked exactly like something we've seen before in other anime. I digress, it's hardly grounds for complaining though, I could live if everything else was decent. Sound: 5 It was pretty boring, I didn't like the opening or the ending all that much. I found them pretty boring, and I didn't exactly pay attention to background music. I'm sure it wasn't spectacular anyway. Character: 1 This is the WORST part. I shall go down the list of characters. Takasaki Yuuske, the male lead has to be the most boring thing you could EVER spawn. He is way too much of a goodie goodie and all of his dialogue consists of is "Nothing happened, it was an accident, I didn't do anything!" when he's put in an awkward situation with Midori or another female character. Chitose Midori, the female lead and love interest number one.I understand that most girls in harem anime are batshit insane, but I usually don't expect them to be so creepy and STUPID. Towards the end, I was expecting her to go School Days on Futaba. Kutsuki Futaba, love interest number two. She's your average overused archetype of "I HATE MEN JUST BECAUSE" and warms up to Yuuske a lot despite her pointless hatred. I don't mind this type of character, but I'd at least like a reason for their manhating ways. The Baka Trio, these guys are the WORST. And this is coming from someone who loves the pervert characters usually. They are just creepy. I don't remember their names so I"ll just call them what they are. Fat guy is just repulsive, and most of the 'jokes' in the series include him in a bra or loincloth. The longhaired guy is pretty forgettable, but he's my favorite out of the three since he's just like an average horny teenager. Pedobear is just the worst. He's a pedophile AND has a food fetish. I don't mind the lolicon chasing characters in anime usually, but this guy makes me sick. The rest are pretty forgettable, there's another bitch who I can't really explain without spoiling and your average shy sickly character. And then there's cactus girl, she's my favorite because she doesn't get the opportunity to open her mouth to say something stupid. Enjoyment: 1 Watching this was about as fun as poking a nerve. The characters suck, the story sucks, the ending sucks and there's not a single redeeming quality. Overall: 1 This show is abysmal. I usually tell people "Oh, you gotta watch this it's horrible" when it comes to bad shows but now, I'm telling you like I tell my friends. I care enough about you to tell you to stay far away from Green Green. Unless you're a bottle of soap or a monkey, then go right ahead, you might get a laugh.
