Mashiroiro Symphony: The Color of Lovers. Just your typical high school romance harem, right? Well, in some ways it is, and in others it isn't. The main idea behind this anime is the fact that it's a harem, but there is more to it than just that. Since I don;t want to spoil any of the story for you, I will simply post a general review and you can decide for yourself whether you want to watch it or not.

Story:
Mashiroiro Symphony is about a boy named Uryuu, Shingo who is, as many characters throughout the anime refer to him as, a ...

Now to be fair I have to give you the non-spoiler cold cut review, and then after that I have to give you my full uncensored opinion. But no worries there will be an indicator for the change of it.

-Cold Cut Review-
This anime offers a very well animated style of art that is calming visually which matches ever so nicely to the nature of it's story. The thing that can be most appreciated is that it stays pretty consistent to one style of animation ,rather then switching from serious, to chibi for random scenes. Another thing to note is that the music was all ...

Basically. School merger, student segregation, assimilation/reciprocity, permanent school merger is what i think at least, but who knows.

The story revolves around a boy (forgot his name) who is sent to an all girls' school with several others from his school as test subjects for a possible school merger. The school atmosphere between he two distinct groups is heavy at first (due to the girls not accepting the boys) , but becomes a little lighter after the cooking class in the second episode. The anime itself is pretty dry, but there were some light comedic elements in the second episode. (eg. protagonist walks into ...

Its Harem Anime Again!! But this one is really unique among all of harem anime.
Alright,I know harem anime has a lot of fan out there.Thats fine.
For me,I like to make a quickreview but includes all my perception about the anime.

Storyline:
The anime start with very understanding storyline. I'm sure you will never get confused at all. For me,the understanding of anime storyline on first episode is the most important. Same as first impression of an anime.The storyline is quite unique this time. Usually,harem anime lead by pervert type character,but this is diffrent.

Art and animation:

I really enjoyed this anime. the anime start of with some R+ material wich makes some viewers interested in seeing the rest of the episodes but trust me, this anime is really fun to watch. The episodes jump from girl to girl wich is good because every girl gets their attention of the main protagonist. But anyway I really recommend this anime for those who love Romance,R+ material,School. I totally love the ending ;) .

well, at first i thought the story was going a whole other direction, but it really surprised me that it didn't, so thats commendable. the story... i give it "fair' at best, there is barely any movement in it, and its obvious that this anime was based on a bishoujo game. the drawing is one of the most appreciated qualities in this anime. the voice actors i guess were good, i don't tend to focus on this area. the characters are kind of unstable, but i'm sure you will see what i mean about it being obvious that it was based on a dating sim. ...

If one is to look on the surface of Mashiro-Iro Symphony, one would be hard pressed to see anything that was not seemingly riddled with cliche and the usual tropes typical of visual novel anime adaptions. What is remarkable about this show though is actually how it tends to subvert or twist these tropes into a surprisingly pleasant, soothing watch.

With the limitations imposed on studio Manglobe to do this adaption in one cour, they truly deserve a pat on the back for their efforts. The production values are pretty solid, and though the character designs may be simple, they are rather pleasant to watch. But ...

This anime is complete and utter trash.

tl;dr review:

MC is a complete tool with no backbone and insists on helping everyone he meets. Naturally since he wants to help everyone that means in turn all of the bitches want his dick. Absolutely nothing new here and it drags on for the entire run.

Mashiro-Iro Symphony (or whatever the hypenation), is more or less pretty good anime for harem. Instead of having a lucky bastard out there (S.S.D.D.), the main character (Shingo) gets one girl after a plot twist in middle of airing. Most fans gone rage after that twist, though. In one forum, they made a big GRP bet and lost after the twist.
The story is well-developed with some twist after first third (or half, or maybe quarter, depends on the definition of "plot twist" term). As an eroge derivative, none much expected from the story. Skip this part to avoid spoiler.
Mashiro-Iro's art is quite standard for anime. ...

Why is it so hard to produce a decent harem? If harems were pointless excursions, it would’ve been fine. If they were unpleasant, completely generic without a hint of originality than fine. Then it’d be easy to review them and dismiss them. It’s rarely the case. Often the anime hints it could be something fun, even as a light drama. All it would take is a little more character development, a few more quirks and a little more conflict.

Mashiroiro Symphony perhaps deserves credit that its path is less common in the harem genre. The harem aspect is the only thing in it that makes it ...

At first look, this seems like a regular harem anime with a school setting. I remember watching the first few episodes with a bit of a bored look on m face just listing of the archetypes of each girl. But eventually, I found myself drawn in. I am not sure exactly what drew me in but by the 6th episode, I could not stop.

The characters, while a touch one dimensional at the beginning grew heavily throughout the anime. Each characters grew personally and created connections with each other that I could not call at all. Each one was truly fleshed out and really made it ...

I do not recommend watching this anime, it has a decent plot at the start, but it's completely eradicated after just a few episodes. The MC and the girl that he chooses at the end are the most dull and just overall worst characters I've seen so far, the other characters are more detailed and more interesting to watch then those two, not to mention Wtf is that animal. Yeah artstyle ir good, but you cannot fill the empty plot with it and also harem is not only about having a lot of characters liking the MC, its about the MC liking them back and ...

All my scores are subjective with the basis of a 7 being ‘average’. My scores are based off of my enjoyment rather than objective standards. Please read the entire review if you want reasons to why I like/dislike a series.

Mashiroiro Symphony is an adaptation of a visual novel by the same name. The visual novel has you following routes trying to get with one of the four main girls. Adapting a VN into an anime, usually anime studios would have to choose a route to animate, do a totally new anime story, or mix and match routes to try and put in a bit of ...

I really enjoyed this anime, but I would have liked to see more character background. Overall, I really enjoyed this anime and it gave me a happy feeling many times, but I don't like the fact that the anime only explains 1 route of the visual novel. It would have been nice if there where more episodes, covering the different routes.

Mashiroiro Symphony: The Color of Lovers is a 1 cour anime. If the anime can be describe in numbers it would be.

"180"

The anime starts off with the main character Uryuu, Shingo who finds out that his sister Uryuu, Sakuno is lost. Even though she was told to stay still so that her brother can find her more easily over the phone. Her eyes caught an interesting little creature and she decides to follow the little bugger. While making her brother life more difficult her cellphone batteries dies and to top things off rains started pouring all over her! However all is not lost. Luckily ...

I enjoyed this anime more than I expected to, I also find myself hating it for certain reasons I can't say due to spoilers, however I can say it has to do with romance situations.

Story
This anime is about two schools who try a merge, some of the students from a mixed gender school go to a all girl academy. Now you can imaging the reactions from some of the girls at this all girls academy. Anyway Shingo tends to be the mid-way point in a sense, all though not all students like him any better, but he seems to help. He essentially starts getting ...

Allow me to preface this by saying that the only thing barring this from a better review from me was its depressing brevity. I felt like this could have easily been at least a 25 episode show, and it ended all too soon. I ranked the story as a 7 for this reason (given more time and character development, it would have been worth a possible 10).

I began watching this expecting another fun, rom-com harem. Oh, and the end of the first episode made me thing that perhaps some forbidden romance with his sister was brewing as well. Thankfully, my expectations were rather wrong ...

Very good overall. The only thing that pisses me off is how they forced the animals to be relevant in the story. Its retarded.

This is one of those animes thats is not generic with love story. This is one of those animes where the guy wont end up with the girl that will first pop up in your mind that you thought that he's gonna end up with. Basically there are 3 girls that falls in love with guy. although the 1st girl got tossed out of the story LMAO.

Mashiroiro Symphony is a harem, romance, drama, slice of life anime where the main character actually chooses a girl, and not just keeps his harem. This anime was based of a visual novel and it explored all the girls routes except for the Mc's sister. The anime starts off pretty standard except this time we get two tsunderes, they both fall for the MC and both of them get rejected, it's nice to see that the anime did not do a predictable turn since most of the time the Tsundere does end up winning at the end or the first girl that we meet is ...

Wow, what to say about this anime, it's just a total mess. It is so obviously based off an eroge game, it kills, it really does...

Story 2/10

The story is the most unoriginal pile of poo and while didn't sound too awful written, when watching it became overly obvious that it was just so the male protagonist would be placed in the most convenient place possible to form a harem. You could clearly tell the writers had no intention of making the story remotely good, only to make a quick buck from some popular eroge game.

Art 5/10

The art being the high point of the anime, ...
