The Quintessential Quintuplets

this show was pretty damn good. from the outside, it looks like your typical harem setup with 5 girls all after the same guy. in reality tho it really isn't, and i found it quite refreshing to see them break the typical harem formula. i will say this tho.. if i don't get a 2nd season (or at the very least, an ova to discover the girl he ends up with) i will fly myself to japan and flip over every single table in the tbs studios. leaving this bit open is my one rage point with this show.. but not in a way that takes anything away from the show itself, if that makes any sense. watch it.. it's well worth it.

Prior to watching this anime I tended to stick to more action-y animes like Fairy Tail, Naruto, Full Metal, Soul Eater and Konosuba. My buddy recommended this anime and said to me "Hey man, I know you don't really watch this kind of stuff but just trust me on this one." I devoured it. One episode two days ago, two yesterday, the rest of the series today. On the surface this appears to be cheesy and shallow, but if you give it a chance it will hook you when you least expect it. If you are like me, you will be asking yourself: "What? Since when did I seriously enjoy this type of anime??". Surprisingly wholesome, all of the characters have compelling personalities, are genuinely funny, and there is a welcoming lack of oversexualized jokes that tend to reign supreme in some other comedy/romance anime I've seen. Hats of to the creator of this series for converting me, I am SERIOUSLY looking forward to season two. Even if you thought these kind of shows aren't your thing, what do you have to lose? Give it a watch!

Ever since my daughter and I began to travel on this journey with these wonderfully illustrated characters, I found that this story has much more depth and meaning than seen at first glance. Loving this show and have read all the manga to this point. The further the series goes the more interesting and dynamic it gets. Don’t judge this show by its quints. There is real substance here. Miku for life! But each has her own endearing qualities. I’m in until the end and longer. Truly worth watching and read the manga.
