Temple

From a young age, Akemitsu Akagami was taught by his father that people can never live alone. But underneath the seemingly prudent advice lies a truth that corrupts it—sons of the Akagami lineage are infamous for being heinous playboys. Determined to clear the notoriety of his family name, Akemitsu keeps his distance from girls throughout his life, only to become a victim of his bloodline's instincts, as he falls in love at first sight.

In a last-ditch effort to rid himself of these desires, Akemitsu travels to a nearby temple in hopes of receiving Buddhist training. However, chaos ensues when the girl he had fallen for greets him at the door. After the commotion settles, he discovers the temple is actually a nunnery from which his father had borrowed millions before fleeing. Now working at the nunnery to repay the outstanding debts, Akemitsu tries his best to compose himself and stay celibate while being surrounded by lovely girls of all kinds.

Ok guys this one is good. If you liked Girlfriend Girlfriend(Kanojo mo Kanojo) or 100 Girlfriends who really love you, you will most likely like this one too. For some reason it has a 6.7 on Mal. But I would put it higher for sure. Ya its an ecchi but that takes a back seat to the plot and the romance. The romance between almost all of the characters feels genuine. Also this anime had some real funny moments, watch the first episode to see, that comedy level never drops from the first episode. It felt like the writers really took time to make ... the love interest work with the main character. The plot is good and the love triangle is really well thought out. For a rom-com lover myself it hit all the boxes for me. 8/10

Mixed Feelings

Temple is your standard guy moves into a location only to find a host of women (that become his family) harem anime but unlike Café Terrace & Amagami sisters of recent years, Temple goes full force into Comedy & Ecchi rather than intrique or drama & seemingly has a clear winner. It's over the top in all aspects and at times the comedy becomes repetitive or too loud but for the most part uses the premise to ground itself & provide an entertaining set of episodes.

The main character wishes for isolation & improvement over his desires as a result of family trauma & his ... father's influence but his resolve is weak to non-existent, He is actively trying to find enlightenment by suppressing & understanding his desires which makes things interesting given the circumstances but his character & growth are undermined by the genre, comedy & focus on ecchi. There is development for the main character & a few of the cast although it’s very thin and borderline different to its introduction.

I found that it did the job of making the comedy, ecchi & parallels entertaining but it could have been significantly better if taken in another direction.

I'm still trying to figure out why I stuck with this anime for as long as I did. I mean, the premise had some potential - a guy trying to escape his family's toxic legacy by becoming a monk? That's some interesting stuff. But no, instead we get Akemitsu, the most indecisive protagonist I've ever had the misfortune of watching.

He's all about avoiding his dad's womanizing ways, but then he meets some woman and suddenly he's all about "temptation this" and "desire that". Make up your mind, dude! And don't even get me started on the supporting cast - they're about as deep as a ... puddle.

I was expecting some serious introspection, maybe some cool spiritual insights, but nope. Just Akemitsu angsting around and making poor life choices. By episode 8, I was skipping through scenes just to get to the end. And honestly, I didn't even bother with the last episode. I just didn't care anymore.

Overall, Tenpuru gets a solid 1/10 from me. It's a mess of a show that can't seem to decide what it wants to be. If you value your sanity, stay far, far away from this one.
