Intro
Masamune Kuns revenge based off the popular manga of the same name is a comedy/romance genre anime. With the interesting premise of a revenge story mixed with a romance and comedy this anime sure piqued my interest when looking through the seasonal anime. Although I haven’t read the source material for the anime I may do so after watching this anime.

Story and setting
The main story of Masamune kun’s revenge is centered on the titular character Masamune Makabe’s goal of attaining revenge on the stories main heroine Aki Adagaki for a perceived humiliation that she had inflicted on him when they were ...

tldr; starts off pretty good but gets more confused than a homeless guy on house arrest.

it starts off pretty typical with a narcissistic main character with all these characters, and by characters i mean women (dont think there isa single male character in this show besides the main character), wanting his dick but because of some strange back story he wants to get back at the main and obviously best girl. cool. Theres a beach episode, love triangles, small tiddy tsundere, melodrama. great. fine. what more do i want right.

But then it slowly descended into confusing the audience with the main character actually ...

Beware of S P O I L E R S! I'm not trying to write them, but my review may spoil you.

Masamune-kun no Revenge seemed like something I'd like. I thought it would all slide together into a dramatic and exciting ending and get a kick out of finally getting that sweet revenge, but was it just a disappointment instead? Pretty much.

The disappointment can be summed up in a few words - not the outcome I had hoped for. Ever since the first episodes it makes you think his revenge will be that legendary ending this anime is aiming for, but it flunked when it ...

(This review has been adapted from my blog/reddit thread. Spoilers ahead!)

When I was a teenager, my mother and I would sometimes try to spook the other for fun.

I can’t remember who started it, but my mother was mad because it often happened near a dangerous area: the steps leading into the basement. The door would be closed, and someone would round the corner after reaching the top, only to find the spookster ready and waiting.

It was initially revenge on both ends. “She scared me, so I’m going to scare her back” and vice versa. But the petty revenge eventually waned and it became more of ...

tl;dr: An anime that somehow successfully derives strength from cringe but ends at the worst possible moment leaving an incredibly bitter after taste.

The best word to describe this anime is cringe. Masamune is self absorbed to the point of ridiculousness which combined with his social incompetence results in him often making a complete fool of himself. Adagaki too is somewhat of a moron due to a combination of her pride and her emotions being a complete mess she doesn't seem to understand at all. And the plot of the first of these characters trying to make the second fall in love with them despite not ...

So we're suppose to root for the guy wanting revenge...even though he's a horrible character himself?

So by this premise alone got LA interested and an *ahem* "exotic" take on the romance genre, geared towards a protagonist who wants revenge through romance towards a love interest who too is a "horrible character" in the sense of her cruelty and extreme tsundereness.

So since we're talking characters...

Let's start with our main protagonist, Makabe Masamune voiced by Natsuki Hanae, previously a kid bullied because he was fat and was a childhood friend and had a crush on our central love interest Aki Adagaki, but she turned her down ...

Romance in anime is a laborious task. The standard plotline for romance anime is to make the ending of the entire series the confession where the two main characters get together, and the entire runtime is a slog up to that point with the majority of it being the classic will they/won't they push/pull action that gets cumbersome and tiring after it has been done over and over again. So, does Masamune-kun's Revenge break that mold? If I'm being honest here, kind of?

Story: Makabe Masamune was a kid, a very chubby fat kid when he was young. During his youth, he ...

Masamune-kun no Revenge is a story about Masamune getting revenge on a girl that he rejected him when he was a kid. The art style and the character development is considered as average in my personal opinion. Although by the end of the series I was enrage as the ending did not capture the story that was leaning to, which was the big reveal of Masamune revenge to Aki (the girl that rejected Masamune when he was a kid).

The ending left question about other characters (Kanetsugu Gasou) that could potentiality change the course of the story itself. As well as the end did not explain ...

So I started watching the series and I love it. Especially the song opening. So what I did was cover the song so check it out and tell me what you think. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ypZ9Teq_DI

This seems like a typical harem but I like it. It's a lot different than other harems out there because this has a unique plot. I think the anime is a bit underrated but I can see why some people can criticize this series. If you like plot and harems then this is for you.

If you guys want to know what this is about then heres the gist of it. This is ...

Masamune-kun no Revenge is to me, the perfect example of why I hold off on giving a score to an anime until I've seen every episode. The first few episodes were promising, and showed some great characters with funny interactions, but as the series went on it started to fall flat.

Masamune-kun suffers the same problem as a number of other anime (angel beats comes to mind), in that there are too many characters whose backstory and motivations aren't given a chance to be explained. Only the most central characters to the story have their intentions considered, and some of the interesting, less central characters are ...

Masamune-kun no Revenge has no redeeming qualities. It's filled with obnoxious and down-right horrible characters. Let's talk bout the main character, Masamune is a teenage high school-er who cares about nothing else than staying skinny. Here's my problem, this show makes it sound like your not handsome or good looking if your not skinny. That is not really a good message. I can't remember any of the other characters name's. Which shows how poor they're.

The story is about Masamune getting revenge on a girl that called him a pig's foot when he was a kid. He gets revenge by trying to get the ...

Before I start giving a review to Masamune-kun no Revenge, I want to state that I read other reviews before watching. That made me very sceptical and I was actually scared to watch. But that feeling flew away within the first few episodes of Masamune-kun no Revenge.

I think that the storyline is pretty unique. Someone getting bullied, a beautiful girl broke his heart. And now instead of accepting the fate that he could never reach her, he is trying to improve himself and goes through a tough process doing a lot of sport to loss weight and gain muscle. Howether, after this process he is ...

WARNING: SPOILERS.

This anime had me very interested but that ending was so awful, it brought the score i gave it wayyy down. it basically just completely ignored the actual plot, the relationships with any of the characters basically got absolutely nowhere, neither worse nor better, and if they were trying to imply he was still "working towards revenge" at the end, then what in the world happened to this so called fiance? He just ... went home after that stupid overextended karaoke party and masamune didnt? there is no reason for that. and her feelings towards neither boy were clear at the end. at ...

Story
I was expecting to have some fun with this and not by any means, was I expecting a great plot. However, the story was most of the times simple-minded and predictable. For example, there is always someone with a beach house and of course, the school festival or play is one of those clichés that apparently cannot be avoided.
The pacing was good, I guess, but the ending… seriously? Is that a way to tell us that there will be a second season? If that was the intention, please don’t use the final episode was a karaoke competition…

Art
The art style fits this anime with ...

A promising show that towards the end begins losing its focus. An interesting take on the rom-com genre, with some entertaining characters and a fair amount of strong comedy elements.

The first 6 or so episodes had a nice pacing, and they felt like they were leading up to something. Where this show begins to fall flat is in the second half when multiple new characters are introduced that are meant to be an obstacle to the MC, who's goal is to plot his revenge on a childhood crush, a crush who had in the past treated him poorly and rejected him. These new plot elements ...
