Jan 6, 2010 Natsu06 Recommended Preliminary (34/39 eps) Story (9 out of 10): Personally, I tend to like reverse-harem animes that have good character development. To appreciate this story, one needs give it more than a few episodes. The series spends a good 10 episodes setting up the storyline and getting a feel for the roles of the characters. From here on, the story is filled with plot twists, one (sometimes 2-) dimensional political strategy and good fun that makes you want to watch the next episode....this is especially true around episode 20 when things really start getting complicated. Every episode is adds a new dimension and piece to the storyline, exploring different ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jul 30, 2015 Ashiang07 Recommended It's definitely one of the underrated animes out there. Not your average reverse harem. Kajika, the main character is a strong heroine and you can't help but love her. Also, the characteristics of the guys surrounding her are very intimidating but you will come to love their uniqueness. Although it does not have the comedic ingredient that i usually go for, it's very heartwarming. It's a 9/10 for me! Read more Open Gift Report
Apr 28, 2010 Takai Recommended -STORY- 10/10 "I love the happiness and the suffering. Because the only emotions I feel... are the ones you grant me." At first, Hanasakeru Seishounen appears to be a rather typical reverse harem story. Young girl surrounded by several beautiful men, nothing new for the given genre. But don't let this throw you off. Soon enough, our protagonists, along with the three marriage candidates, get involved in a complicated political conspiracy of a small Middle Eastern country. They face great dangers as they travel across the world, learn to trust and support each other, discover new emotions within themselves, and mature in order to survive and reach ...

May 3, 2009 daemonblade1229 Not Recommended Preliminary (4/39 eps) I typically have a four episode rule when I watch an anime: After four consecutive episodes, if it has descended to such depths of frustrations and stupidity as to make watching it painful for me, I stop. This series failed my four episode test on the first four episodes. The Pros: The art style is nothing original, and several other bishonen series have very similar styles. The quality is not terribly bad, with the possible exception of the very first scene in the very first episode, where child kajika's head is disproportionately large. The characters are well voice acted, even if the rest of the sound ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jun 10, 2009 love_li-ren Recommended Preliminary (10/39 eps) Based on the 10 episodes that have aired so far, at first, the show might seem silly, and the story very average. The first few episodes were really not awe-inspiring at all. However, since the introduction of the character, Lumati, his storyline has breathed new life into this show. I just recently started watching anime, so I am no authority. But, I really like the story that has cropped up since episode 5. Let's hope they keep up the good work! Read more Open Gift Report
Feb 23, 2010 FeelingBlue Recommended This is my 1st anime review, so sorry if it's not that well-stated. Also, sorry if it's too long (it's hard to NOT type more when there are so much in this series). Feel free to just skim through it, and maybe skip to the "OVERALL" part if you don't want much details. STORY- 8 Read more Open Gift Report
Sep 20, 2009 LuckyCeci Mixed Feelings Preliminary (20/39 eps) Story: It starts out rather bland and boring but as the show goes on, it becomes a bit more interesting. There are some nice plot twists along the way but it's not all that surprising if you put your mind to it. Also, this is not really an "interesting" plotline but as far as these type of animes go, it's alright. Art: Nothing really special here, it's average. Sound: Also nothing special. Character: When I first started watching the show, Kajika seemed annoying and unrealistic, but it might be because of her living on a remote island for most of her life. The only other thing I ...

Nov 23, 2019 Agent_Redacted Recommended I haven't seen a Shoujo for such a long time now because repeating the same loop of cliches can become boring the more you encounter it. Hanasakeru Seishounen is a Shoujo that has the same aspects every Shoujo has and you probably know what I'm talking about. However, it does give you the sense of uniquity to it like Akatsuki No Yona though not as great. I'm always a fan of romance. I don't know why I love romance, probably because I'm still heartbroken? I don't really know. Anyways. I find romance to be one intriguing genre that will never get me bored. To be ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jul 1, 2009 swamped Recommended Preliminary (12/39 eps) So far, judging from all the episodes aired, I'm really enjoying this series. Story: The story, especially in the most recent arc, is really enjoyable. Few plot twists, cute lines etc. It's not like OMG AWESOME but it is good none-the-less. Art: I like the character designs. Lots of bishies... Sound: I haven't paid much attention to the BGM, which probably says something in itself. I do like the opening song though. Engrish galore! Character: The characters are not the stereotypical bishies you tend to get in Reverse Harems. They do have different personlities, and their interactions with the lead girl is always more than just 'I love ... Read more Open Gift Report

Apr 10, 2016 NekoMinSeo Recommended >The anime that proves reverse harems can be more than just romance < I’ll start this by stating that I am aware that Hanasakeru Seishonen is ultimately a “romance anime”, however it doesn’t stop it from having quite a few interesting sub-genres that just don’t usually happen to turn into the focus of the story for a very long time like it did in this anime. Story Most synopses for Hanasakeru Seishonen can never actually prepare you for what the story is actually about, and, sincerely, I think that it’s better without being aware. I dived in, believing that it was a “game of match-making” between rich ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jun 12, 2009 kyashi39 Recommended Preliminary (10/39 eps) DURING the first 3 episodes, i'm not that satisfied to this anime to the point i would've give it a flat 4. HOWEVER, i reconsidered it when i decided & finished watching the other 7 episodes...so far, it starts to make me interested unto the story and its overall quality. FURTHERMORE it made me begin "to have a hope that as the story progress it would not degenerate unto a worse anime", according from what it have shown me so far. LASTLY, i hope the studio would finished the "39" episodes of this anime...XD Read more Open Gift Report
Aug 28, 2016 minutemaid511 Not Recommended Story: 6/10 All things told, the story was okay. It was an interesting story and the plot was the main reason I persisted in watching this to the end. It starts out as the typical reverse harem plot, but ends up branching into so much more, which works in this anime's favour because it has little else going for it. Art & Sound: 5/10 It was average. It didn't wow me, but it didn't necessarily disappoint either. Character: 4/10 Man, where do I start? Let's start with the main character. At some point I started calling her Mary Sue because she's off her rocker and everyone around her just goes ... Read more Open Gift Report
Oct 10, 2009 lisnoire Recommended Preliminary (23/39 eps) Don't let the reverse harem concept and all the bishonen put you off. Once it takes off, this show is smart and entertaining. I'm up to episode 23 and loving it. It starts off on the flimsy premise of an ultra wealthy father presenting his naive teenage daughter with a slate of potential husband candidates but, for me, about half way through, that became incidental to the relatively accurate portrayal of the machinations of global mega corporations, religion, international policy, and corrupt politics. If you are the least bit aware of current events, it is clear that the names and places ... Read more Open Gift Report
Oct 22, 2012 rolandxi1 Recommended NOT WHAT I EXPECTED, ok this anime is underrated in the description and the profile picture on MAL for this show is deceiving. Yes those are the man characters but the story is so much more. It starts with a game that leads to a realization of love, sounds simple enough right? Wrong, the story is really something special, like most its a fictional story and must be taken that way so as long as your not a picking it over with a fine tooth comb and trying to find flaws you'll enjoy it if this genre is one you like. The show does ... Read more Open Gift Report

Jun 12, 2017 Narutard21 Recommended I don't normally write reviews but after looking over some of the ratings other lesser anime get, I guess I felt a little obligated to write about why this anime deserves more recognition. story: so the entire story line to this anime was brilliant and tied together very nicely unlike anime we so often see that has characters all shoved into one series with the sole purpose of having a reverse harem and nothing deeper. Every character in this had a purpose and the plot line left no plot holes or things left to be explained. Everything tied together nicely, and I loved that the ... Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 16, 2014 BigJennaTalia Recommended We all have our guilty pleasure. Mine is romance, the cheesier the better (shhhhhh, don't look at me!) However, reverse harems have never been a big favorite of mine. My main issue with them is that they make the lead female as dull as a dried up dog turd. I understand why they do this; they want her to be a blank slate so that the viewers can easily see themselves as her (think Bella from Twilight). The lead in the anime actually had a personality! That is what convinced me to watch past the first episode, and i'm glad I did. The lead character really ... Read more Open Gift Report

Dec 17, 2010 GaLaXiA20 Recommended watching this anime i enjoyed it so much, i was uncertain how the story would unfold for say Kajika's father choosing 3 husbands for her, i just thought the story would go on just around that but then much more happened then unanticipated, when it comes to slice of life and such and reverse harem, i did found it some what sad, but i am so happy that the ending was a happy one, i am looking forward to reading the manga as well, and watching this anime over and over, i also noticed that the special OVA's they have its just like a reminder off ...
