Based on the first ten episodes of Freezing, I have come to the decision to write a quick review to give you an itch on what it's all about. For the impatient, this is an Ecchi anime with a fair amount of fan-service but equally as good characters and story. The art and animation is decent enough that it will not deter from the overall enjoyment of the anime and the characters each have backgrounds which are briefly explained at varying levels at some point. I enjoyed this anime, if you are a fan of... fan-service, then. Enjoy yourself ;)

The story is pretty interesting, girls ... and guys take on roles to use somewhat interesting abilities. It takes place in a school, from the eyes of a young male protagonist, based on the make-up of how the roles are set, it's normal to see younger males pairing up with older females. Considering the rating of this anime and the "Ecchi" tag, you can imagine what it's all about. It does however pick up a lot of depth towards the end, nudging you towards the edge of your seat in anticipation as more exciting events unveil.

The art is pretty standard just as the animations are. Do not expect jaw-dropping visuals unless you're asking about the fan-service stills growing like mushrooms on your screen in-between each episode? Yeah, they're okay.

The sound, there are a variety of voices you can hear. The soundtrack is actually very decent, which took me by surprise. You can expect some interesting orchestral spin-togethers and catchy Opening and Ending sequences.

Characters are fairly well portrayed and as with any decent anime you get a good feel for each personality. Each major character has a varying amount of background information shown either in a flashback or self-introductory scene.

But all in all, I enjoyed this anime and as said at the start you will enjoy it too if you are a fan of Ecchi. There's fighting, fanservice and plenty of cool-down time where you get to know the characters, as well as some pretty decent gripping action towards the end.

A very light review, spanning off from the reviews of the I''s Pure series. These specials are small, somewhat perverted snippets of fun that you wouldn't otherwise expect in the original anime. Try not to get this series confused with the first I''s aired in 2002-03'.

Just as it was with the main series, art and animation was decent. For the time it was the standard and it definitely didn't disappoint. The characters, well considering the length of these shorts they were decently portrayed, if you bare in mind that these are meant to be shown as a dream from the eyes of the protagonist in ... the story. I cannot really comment on the story because of this, they were all somewhat generic scenes that you'd likely expect if you watch a few episodes of Kanokon or the likes.

But let's cut to the case, if you've bothered reading just up to here, you'll understand that these are just small snippets hence why this is (for now) the only review. I enjoyed it and that's really what matters with a little bonus like this, I was slightly dissapointed with the lack of intimate activity in the main story so this in a way makes up for it. Nice little shorts, you might as-well give them a try being as they are only a minute each.

This is my first review, so if you have any suggestions please send me a message (thanks (: ), it is based on the first seven episodes.

After watching most of the recent anime, I found it hard not to notice the increasingly popular demand for incest. The anime is simple-minded in that respect to say the least, but hey what do you expect, it's "Comedy" and it's also a, wait for it... Ecchi. If you understand that you're watching an Ecchi anime and haven't worked out that the score I have given is based on mostly the enjoyment factor of the anime, then travel ... to the Enjoyment section where you will find my encouraging remarks on why to watch this.

Story :: 6
If the introduction wasn't enough to get the gist, this anime is somewhat lacking as far as story goes. Shown in the eyes of a young male lead whose voice may not have yet broken, it follows a simple, overused plot-line for incestuous anime, where the brother/sister is in some sort of harem situation and the events are all very generic. This definitely does not however detract from the experience of the anime. Whilst there are the default, tedious repeats of embarrassing events, this anime harbours yet more eye-opening scenarios which definitely make the story more interesting over-all, with S&M and more out of the norm fetishes/experiences. There were a few filler episodes to even out the pretty much non-exist-ant plot, but they were enjoyable and I've definitely seen much worse. Since this is based on the seven episodes, I won't go on further to explain the story, because that will ruin the fun, if you're interested you should watch it.

Art :: 6
Now, the art in this series is definitely unique as such, whether I like it or not is a hard question. To put it into simple terms, the characters look warped, their legs are extremely thin and somewhat tall. You probably would adapt to it after a while, the animation is fair quality with nothing too degradable. With modern effects it would be difficult nowadays to create something to bad on the eyes (thought it has been done x.x).

Sound :: 5
With the sound in this series not particularly grabbing my attention, it isn't by any means low-quality. But there are overused soundtracks, such as the opening soundtrack to most episodes when Shuusuke (male lead) is waking up/doing something 'constructive'. The effects are mediocre again, not by any means noticeably bad, but that's about it. Voices however, their voices are incredibly similar, the male leads voice is rarely variable from the girls'. At least the emotion seems to come out fairly well, but again, it's just average. So it's a five from me.

Character :: 7
This is a difficult area to rate, whilst the character's backgrounds are somewhat generic, their personalities really draw out the great bits in the series. If you're looking for an anime with varied personalities and default characters with some very strange, interesting twists then you will enjoy this anime. After all, it's Ecchi, and it's comedy. As mentioned at the start of the review, the story is interesting because there are the scenarios where the guy is in a position which some may find unusual or maybe even un-heard of. Each girl has their own special knack that sets them apart and they seem to flow well, which makes it all the more humorous.

Enjoyment :: 9
Probably the most important part of the review, I will be honest, at times I found this series funny, incredibly interesting and the fan-service wasn't overdone. Whilst the strange character figures originally deterred me from trying this one out, I'm glad I gave it a shot as most episodes had something interesting to surprise me with and make me chuckle. I have enjoyed what I have seen so far and if you arent looking for something overly serious with deep plot-lines then this is definitely worth a try.

Overall :: 7
Taking a review based on the first seven episodes of a comedic, perverse anime like this seriously isn't a great way to approach this anime. It's all a matter of opinion, but you have to take into account, with a simple anime like this - the characters and enjoyment make up for most of what will make it shine. If you like fan-service, strange characters and decent attempts at making you laugh, then try this out.
