You will find that this is a very underrated anime series if you read any other review of it and it's damn true.I will keep it real short and convenient(a little long actually).
This is really one of those well crafted shounen anime that is not cliche...well......not that it is completely new(not that you get any fully original series nowadays)....but it really goes in a direction something more realistic and more believable. Completely different from middle-school kids levelling up and saving god knows how many worlds.
For me the story and the concept of the power(trion) was better than that of chakra, nen, or magic. I personally ... loved it a lot. The characters were amazing.....they were fucking badass......you will find no annoying characters and almost love every one of the cast. I could also say that BORDER is one of the most fucking badass organization in all of anime history. And the most interesting thing is that our MC is literally the weakest character in the series.....and despite that you will not hate it....can you imagine how amazing that is. He is not an idiot like most of them are...you will never hear monolouges of shounen protagonist and cannot expect what they will do....but here at least you can know what he is thinking. He knows he is the weakest and does things based on what he can and should do. The other MC's are like the baddest of the badasses......I can only say you are gonna love them.
The only sad thing is that the ending is abrupt. It's because the anime caught up too fast with the manga that they had no more material to continue the story. But I am waiting patiently for it's next season and I hope we will in the same boat.

I will try to keep it short. Airantou was literally my first ever anime to watch in Japanese with English subs. I had watched previously dubs of some popular anime but Airantou was the anime that introduced me to the anime world. It is also the series that created my never ending love for harem.
So for people who are new to anime, Airantou will be a good deal of enjoyment ...well only if you watch anime for enjoyment. For people loving dark fantasy and thrillers, this is not for you.
Well for veteran watchers ...you will find it as cliche as it can get. I realised ... it after I watched tons of other harem series. But you could always watch it if you have nothing else to do. It has it's fair bit of comedy and some quirky characters that were not cliche during it's time.
That's it for the review....Thanks....No, wait. I forgot to mention what this series is all about. Okay....here it goes..
Some random dude is shipwrecked and washed ashore an island called Airantou inhabited by only females after loosing continuously to his father in ken-do. Seriously ...that's it...well we do get to know why the island is only inhabited by females...but that is the least of concern.
And a final warning.....people who don't like nosebleeds, well ....you are going to get a ton from the MC. I mean seriosly... a ton
