Megami no Café Terrace

After his grandmother Sachiko passes away, Hayato Kasukabe returns from Tokyo and inherits her cafe—Familia Café Terrace. He aims to demolish the cafe and convert it into a parking lot, only to discover that his grandmother had taken in five girls prior to her death.

The girls—Ouka Makuzawa, Akane Hououji, Riho Tsukishima, Shiragiku Ono, and Ami Tsuruga—evidently shared a deep bond with Sachiko, and they naturally refuse to give up the place they call home. They convince Hayato to change his mind, albeit reluctantly. Through this encounter, Hayato eventually remembers his past with his grandmother as well as his love for the cafe.

Now resolved to carry on his grandmother's legacy, Hayato enlists the girls to act as the "goddesses" that will ensure the preservation of this precious abode.

ADULT ROMANCE HAREM THAT IS ACTUALLY FUNNY AND WHOLESOME

Really Good show i didn't watch when it was Airing I saw the synopsis and I thought it was just another shitty harem thus skipping it and I will gladly Admit that I was wrong.

The GOOD - The show isn't cringe like Most of the harems and the jokes actually makes you laugh and the best part is it is all Adult Anime not the Cringey Underage Teenager Romance Harem Shit which pisses me off. And the characters do have pretty decent backstories. The Opening Song of the 2nd cour On Autotune Full blast makes ... me lose my shit and laugh everytime.

The Bad - I really don't like the animation quality and Colour palette. And lastly too much Ecchi leaves me with mixed feelings especially when Mr.Hayato Massaged 17 Year old Ami's Melons. Otherwise I don't really have any problems with it Considering The Degens this anime is Catering to Which is me.

Thanks and have a Good Day

Mixed Feelings

The Café Terrace and Its Goddesses is a show about our MC (Kasukabe Hayato) returning from college upon learning of his grandmother's death. After returning to his grandmother's café (his childhood home) he learns that she had hired 5 girls to work as part-time employees. Hayato, simply thinking in his best interests, decides to demolish and turn the café into a parking lot because it would be more profitable. After a series of events though, Hayato changes his mind and decides to run the café whilst taking the girls under his care.

The premise isn't anything special or interesting, but it isn't bad either as it ... does a decent job of laying the groundwork for the romance and scenarios in the story.

The characters are... alright. If you've watched The Quintessential Quintuplets, the characters in this show are pretty much a copy of the characters in that show. The characters themselves also have a lot of tropes within them. They're not bad per se, but they do feel a little generic.

Hayato as the MC is nice since he really is serious about running his grandmother's café as well as taking care of the girls. It's also refreshing to see him treat the girls like family and not immediately view them in a romantic sense.

The animation and soundtracks are solid, though it's all personal preference at the end of the day.

The Café Terrace and Its Goddesses, is it anything spectacular, no, but I think it's executed decently well and if you enjoy shows such as The Quintessential Quintuplets you'll probably like it despite its tropes and shortcomings.

6/10

You don’t need to watch this and I would honestly recommend you don’t. If you’ve seen any harem show at all, you’ve seen this; hell, you’ll be able to predict beat-by-beat where it goes. The only “edge” I would give this show is its adult cast. Everything else about it is bland.

This is Seo Kouji, the mangaka, at his worst. His first hit, Suzuka, touched on relevant topics that few mangaka dare touch on—I appreciated it. His next hit, A Town Where You Live, was a slogging melodrama that nonetheless hit the right notes at the right time to keep audiences engaged. His third hit, ... Fuuka, was… controversial but ultimately brave.

In contrast, this work is so by-the-numbers that I can only assume he wanted to produce a hit big enough that he could retire. Five women work at the café that our MC inherited. They all have a vested interest in seeing the café succeed and the women, like bowling pins, fall over as he helps them solve their longstanding childhood traumas that inevitably involve a terrible parent.

Theres romance but don’t expect it to move very far in twelve episodes. There’s “comedy” but it’s really just that each character has the same joke repeated for infinity (did anyone ever laugh?).
