Nagasarete Airantou has to be one of the most cliche and unique animes in existence. Cliche in the fact that its a typical harem rom/com with one guy and three bajillion women. Unique in the fact that there are chibi (sometimes bishounen) talking animals, carnivorous plants, and a high element of martial arts and moral pride in some episodes.
Story:
Pretty typical with a twist. A guy gets a whole bunch of women after him, but its done so in a weird way. He gets stranded on an island where the only males are animals. I haven't seen this kind of harem yet so, it scores slightly
...
average in story.
Art:
The animation is a bit bad, but the artwork of the island and the characters is pretty impressive. Manages to earn a slightly above average.
Sound:
The sound is very cheery in comedy scenes and serious in dramatic scenes. Its good but nowhere near animes with great soundtracks like say, FLCL. Slightly above average too.
Character:
The characters vary wildly from cliche to unique. There's the standard squeamish male protagonist, Ikuto (although they twisted it to make him react with superhuman ability to things thought to be 'impossible'). There's the standard innocently cute female lead, Suzu. Then there's the characters that are very rare in the anime universe, like say an android chick with big guns who owns a hot springs resort that is haunted by a science-addict's mom (Seriously, wtf? >.>). I also personally love the sadistic voodoo-using priestess, Machi.
Enjoyment:
VERY enjoyable. It has great comedic moments and few parts where you want to slap yourself at how incredibly corny/cheesy it was. Adding a bit of action was a good thing (swordfighting is AWESOME). And I have yet to see an anime where someone gets Falcon Punched in the balls by a talking turtle.
Fun to watch! I suggest you go watch it now.
