Im not going to give a summary to this anime like other reviewers do I'm going to tell you why you should watch this. This anime is for adults that like music, anime and a quick fun time. All the characters are adults there is drinking and smoking but no profanity, no sex scenes or nudity and the only kids(teenagers) you see are in flashbacks. This has pg rating so you can still watch with your family or adult friends and not be embarrassed of any lewd scenes.

My first reaction to this anime caught me off guard; to see ... an anime not start in a high school or teenager being the MC. I thought i was reading a manwha(Korean mangas). The characters are cute both male and females in their own way. Seeing them be adults and still have dreams of making it big in music is great.

For any other reason you should give it a try because the music is great, the anime is top notch. There might be some ester eggs for your adult mind to pick up with the music and character references. It was 100% made with us in mind give it a shot.

This is a misandrist(hatred of men) anime. This anime does a lot of men bashing. The few men that are represented in the six episodes they present them as evil. Example 5 friends just hangout with one fat friend because of his money that is greed and sloth . That fat friend like girls that act feminine the girls find him creepy and ugly(calling him an incell basically) they have him being some kind of pervert too that is lust and gluttony. They bash men right up to the last scene when they show the main boy character being a ... jerk to his fiancée and "he will get his revenge" that is envy, pride and wrath. They gave men all the 7 sins LOL big PASS.

No good deed goes unpunished-Perfect way to some up this anime.
I rate it an 8 but could easily be a 9 or a 10 the only reason why I didnt rate it so because I didn't sign up for this very dark story. I'll try but most likely SPOILERS! We are introduce to an opening something out of a boy band and you are left thinking this is going to a happy anime of superheroes something like myhero or tiger bunny. We are quickly brought down to earth when we get a (spoiler) death scene. The anime goes back and fourth of ... being a happy anime to a dark tune it is very alarming. This anime has a lot of religious undertone which looks like i was the only one to catch it, I might do a question post asking who else sees it. This super hero doesn't have your typical villain, the villain believe it doing the right things and so do the heroes they believe they are right and it present the audience with a very gray message all around to the very end. It is very political and if you are an American you are preach to and it is very subtle I think many did not get it went over their heads when the patriot act, social media, and influencers were brought up. Please give a watch I can't be the only one to think to was great story wise be advise this isn't your happy anime.

P.S You must watch to find out why title it "No good deed goes unpunished" this anime show you how cruel the world can be.

I'm honestly impressed that they released something this flat-out terrible and got away with it. The music was bad, but at least the rest of the video salvaged a lot of lewd anime pictures. A ton of other singers couldn't even survive if they made a flat out club hit cash grab that was this ridiculously. Then again, anime turned itself into an utter mockery at this point, since it is painting itself as just a cute anime girl with big boobs and sound like a chimp mock. Such garbage, a violent assault on my ear drums. I won't be surprised if the people ... in charge of One Piece music were involved.

Chihaya, Taichi, and Arata are three friends living in the midst of Japan, torn apart by the need to play a children card games called Karuta. When this Karuta(card game) strikes close to home, its irrevocable effects ripple through the destinies of each of the three.

The anime isn't exactly original, but there are enough wrinkles that, coupled with strong character definition, lead to a occasionally engrossing story. Actually, there are three separate characters that occasionally cross and intermingle. Its basically a love triangle. After the first there episodes, however, each can stand on its own. The one involving Arata-- concentrating on Karuta addiction ... and its consequences, is heavy-handed. Arata probably would have been better focused without it. Taichi tale is scripted with greater intelligence than Chihaya but we seen before in other anime. Events surrounding Chihaya which are accorded the most screen time, offer the anime most absorbing moments.

The chronicle of Chihaya rise to power within the Karuta system is reminiscent of Anya Taylor-Joy's powerful 2020 Netflix series The Queen Gambit. There are parallels in both plot and character, but Chihayafuru story isn't as complex or gritty as that of Queen's Gambit, and its resolution is less satisfactory. Nevertheless, it still has an impact. There's a strange fascination in watching the violent politics that lead to the top rung of a Karuta's groups.

The ending is a disappointment. The attempt to force a happy ending where one is not warranted and is unforgivable. It has been said that this is the Japan's Queen's Gambit(manly by me) it lacks both the quality and scope of Scott Frank's series. Some of the themes may be similar, this is a loosely-focused story about loyalty, honor, and Karuta that takes us into Japan's subculture and introduces to three vastly different characters. The result is an anime that features several memorable scenes. It's not a masterpiece, but neither is it a waste of time like One Piece.

Now almost 20 years since I first saw Rave, still stunning. A true timeless classic, exceptional, without doubt one of the best anime ever made. Well cast and a superb performance from all involved. We binge watched and loved this ova good thing it was only 24 min. Well thought out and quiet. Smart dialog without endless gunfire, chases and boobs. A thinking person’s who done it, it was Erza. Brought up some good questions about when it too late really too late, the answer it's never too late to revisit old friends. Who gets away with crime with these four around? Obviously ... some do. Cant wait for move ova with them together.

I could be a little unbiased, as Nodame Cantabile is an anime i have yet to see. This is easily in my top 10 most lazy ova i have seen along with One Piece OVAs and the one with the hamster. Simple plot, and relevant characters show both depth and understanding of what was a hard world at that beach. Film score and closing song is both haunting and provoking. I’ve watched this ova once, but I can recite 80% of the script, but still enjoy from start to finish. I did laugh once which most anime don't make me laugh. ok OVA 5/10

Recommended score: 2.2/10

It's a true garbage in every aspect; the characters are so not suited to their roles, the story is not only thoroughly awful, it's intriguing like a page turner of a novel.

Kaneko, Hiraku directs his best work yet and it still sucks. Voice cast are supported by such household names like Sasahara, Yuu, Kohara, Riko & Anzai, Chika it's no less than a true anime fan enthusiasts cast but this won't give a teenage a wet dream.
What's suck about this ova, regarding authenticity, is the fact characters don't just get nude quite so easily as has always happened in ova, particularly ... ecchi, throughout the years; it's convincing.
The dreadful score only adds a subtle, delicate flavour to the ova of optimum poop.
I could not recommend it more and i wont.

I continue to read the manga after the anime was over. The anime is different but it might not be a bad thing after I read the manga. The anime was rushed but the manga didn't add anymore than the anime. Spoilers, there is more romance in the manga. Luke gets married to her, and she is the one to ask him. That's very refreshing because the MC wasn't going to confess and she went straight to marry to dating BS LOL. Cecily is sexually assaulted(not the r word) in the manga which i didn't like not necessary not ... that type of manga. Do i like the conclusion in the manga, I don't. The anime people added most of the manga in the 12 episodes if given 2 more episodes they could have added it all. Yes the manga is long and a lot more character but the aren't necessary.

I wasn't going to leave a review but since no one else is mentioning the problem with this anime so here I go.
Spoilers:
The best way to describe this anime is by calling it NTR on steroids. What makes it worst it is being pushed on kids. It could have been one of the best anime out there and they drop the ball. So I am going to talk about the story, its characters and my enjoyment of the anime and what i would change.

Story started of well and I really liked it, villain of the week style and ... inner conflict with in the main characters, than the ending happen and it change how I looked at the story. It went from a story about girl being heroic and trying to save the world while also reconnecting to her father, to spoil brat that is selfish, shallow has daddy issues and needs to grow up.

The MC is selfish she only really cares about herself. She is trying to rebuild her family by bringing back her dead mother. Her father abandoned her for ten years so long that he doesnt recognize her when she shows up at his work. Her thought maybe bring back her dead mother could make dad be a better father. He blames his awful behavior to his lost of his wife which I call BS, because she died because of racing and he is once again is managing racing. He also is fine with children risking their lives for the race but once he finds out she is his daughter he has a problem, let Jordan die speaking of.

My enjoyment of this anime is based on the treatment of Jordan. Jordan sacrificing himself for a girl that doesn't even like him is what the kids call these day an ultimate "simp" move. I would have forgiven the show if they weren't building up his crush episode after episode, have him just be a friend no romantic feelings, or have her like him. She likes the alien prince guy because she find him cute(super shallow), she keep talking about him and seeking out him out in most of the episodes she even told him she would go visit him on his planet in the future. There is a scene of him crying watching her fly off leaving him behind. The better solution would have been for the dad to be the avator. Would have been sadder. Father and daughter finally open up and he is going away again, he put these kids to risk their lives for this race he could have at least done the sacrifice his character wasn't even needed he can't fly or be a machinist. He was just there so there can be useless conflict with the characters. The father knew Jordan like her he could have done the whole Armageddon bruce willis thing, "look after Eva". Eva wanting to bring back to life mommy so they can finally be a family again was weird she is 15 still a child but come on she should grow up and start a family of her own. Her father abandon her for 10 years after her mother's death, he said he had issues still with his wife death but he was doing fine going back to racing it didn't stop him there winning titles smiling in flashbacks. Him staying redeems his character.

In conclusion skip this PG NTR
