Rokudou no Onna-tachi

Tousuke Rokudou is a first-year attending Aomori High, a school full of delinquents. He is often bullied by his classmates due to his incompatibility with their behavior, the only exceptions being his two good friends who are also social outcasts. Frustrated at the way they are treated, the three wish they could stand up and claim the fun, peaceful school life of their dreams.

However, Tousuke's life takes a drastic turn when he receives a package from his late grandfather containing their family heirloom, a scroll said to possess the power to save him from impending danger. Upon holding the scroll, a sudden glow emanates, leaving a strange mark on Tousuke's forehead.

Thinking that he's received the means to free himself and his friends from their daily treatment, Tousuke is shocked to find out that its effects are far different than what he had imagined. Although his bullying continues, he realizes that the mark from the scroll acts as a charm, capturing the hearts of delinquent girls—in particular, Ranna Himawari, the strongest of them all.

Yeah I guess that making the girls forced to be under a spell can give the impression that they are just puppets, but I don't that this is the case. Even if they are in love with the MC they are still their own people. The show has its own merits, it's funny, has interesting characters, and the MC doesn't try to be overly masculine. The main character knows that he is weak and tries to grow as a person as well as trying to make the people around him grow (even if they are under a LOVE spell). The art style and characters grew ... on me, while I didn't like the design of the MC I still liked him overall, and the other important characters were all unique and likeable in their own way.

Mixed Feelings

An absolutely bizarre concept of a show...

While at first glance, the concept of a weak dork who gets magically afflicted with the affection of every delinquent girl in his vicinity sounds hilarious; in the longer term this premise undermines the story it wants to tell.

Rokudo's goal is to use his power to reform the delinquents into better people; which is noble enough and certainly more interesting than an MC who wants to take advantage of every woman he sees.

However, thanks to the magic afflicting the majority of the cast, we can't truly invest in their growth. Every woman has been robbed of their agency once ... they fall for Rokudo. While most of the characters are actually pretty interesting and have solid stories, it's hard to say for certain that if they've moved forward in life or if they're just under the spell.

While the show seems like the setup for a harem, this too is undermined by the magic, as it is impossible to invest yourself in romance at any capacity when it's completely unwarranted. Thankfully the show drops any pretense of this immediately, and many characters stop displaying affection immediately. (Although it's possible this is out of fear of Ranna)

I think the concept of the magic is completely unnecessary, as Rokudo IS a good person and capable of making impacts on everyone in the cast's life. I kept praying that the conclusion would involve some sort of reveal that the magic wasn't real (although this wouldn't make sense given the reactions of strangers to Rokudo), or that perhaps it would wear off and not matter, but alas.

The female lead, Ranna, is also a baffling choice. She's by far the least developed, flattest character. While other characters have other things going on in their life (and some can even ultimately explain their interest in Rokudo beyond magic), Ranna is nothing more than a gag- an ultraviolent stoic tank who becomes incredibly girly and shy and dedicated to Rokudo at the flip of a switch. Even in the finale she seems to have no agency or character, so it's baffling she is framed as Rokudo's primary interest.
At other times she's a macguffin or a deus ex machina, an unstoppable superweapon and the primary thing stopping Rokudo from turning into pavement paste when he involves himself in gang affairs.

I think it would have been much more interesting I think to make Ranna's interest in Rokudo organic, and then have her get mixed up in gang affairs as normal, leading to Rokudo coming in contact with the cast he is dedicated to reforming.

Rokudou's bad girls.....Funny how bad this anime is, so.....

Story:

Pros: The only pro around here was seeing the protagonist from getting his ass constantly getting kicked by first bully to becoming this ladies man who can get any bad girls fall for him, and have the same bad girls protect him, but......

Cons: He just have to play this boring good guy card to which he could've rule the school and put an ends to bullying, using a talisman that his granddad gave him, Too bad that he has to be this guy who can but doesn't do it.

Verdict: 3 over 10.

... Art:

Pros: Nothing to mention, cuz....

Cons: Everything were shit, the main girl Rana looks like a MILF, in fact there were too many MILF like female characters around here.

Verdict: 3 over 10.

Character:

Pros: Nothing good to mentioned.

Cons: First of all we have the protagonist who has inherited a charm from his granddad that allows him to make any bad girl fall for him, in fact the Badder they are the more they'll fall for the guy, we have his 2 other lackies whom were part of the wussy squad like Colonel who IMAO is supposed to be better off as a bully and Chief who should be doing adult roles.

Verdict 3 over 10.

Enjoyment:

Pros: the only enjoyment here was letting the protagonist get his ass kicked even though he can summoned bad girls to do the dirty job for him.

Cons: It was still lame.

Verdict: 3 over 10.

Overall:

Verdict 3 over 10

This was just bad.
