Indian Summer - Reviews

Story: Quite average; typical ecchi comedy. Includes a lot of cosplay so if cosplay is your thing then this anime will suit you nicely.

Animation: Average animation; nothing special.

Sound: Nothing caught my ear, boring OP and ED

Characters: Forgetable, No real depth because of lack of time to develop. One's a robot, the other is a cosplay maniac

Overall: Overall this anime is mediocre at best. I actually had watched this before and completely forgotten I had watched (I went to watch so I could write this review) this because this anime was so forgettable. Not bad though, its good if you've got an 1 hour 1/2 to kill.

The anime Koharu Biyori (Indian Summer) is comedy ecchi based off of robots that are assigned to masters in everyday life. At first glance this didn't seem odd but after watching the anime as a whole the story itself was very cluttered and had no clear path. It would cutscene to different scenes and transition massively to scenes which come out of nowhere. Some parts however were a more like romantic based series which was not really necessary for anime like this where nothing is to really be taken seriously.

The animation has recieved its fair share of critisim but I believe that it is in fact well drawn for a lot of it and it even has me laughing at some parts. The fact that scenes can be so spontaneous is quite funny. Although there really is no point in some of the work they put in and how the background characters are disturbing on a number of levels (watch and you will understand) I still felt as if the drawing was a little underated for some parts especially between the two male characters.

The songs in the anime were nothing particularly outstanding and the intro song was very rushy for some unknown reason. The characters sound adequate but nothing really leaps out at you. Speaking of the characters because of the sheer size of the anime and the pace at which was kept throughout, made connecting with the characters themselves very difficult. Although there were some funny lines that I'll give credit for.


--SUMMARY--

Whilst the story is non-existant and character development is lacking considerably, the anime itself wasn't at all bad, just decent. Whilst thing seem spontaneous and unecessary at some times there are a few parts that will make you laugh a bit. Whilst the characters aren't that memorable it's not a bad way to kill less than two hours. (Yes its that short).

(This was my first anime review on this site, if you have any feedback or constructive critisism to offer me I would apperciate it. :D)

As you might guess from the description, some guy buys a female maid robot and tries to use it more than what it is design for. What he wants to do is simply dress it in different outfits.

My problem isn't this, or how much in this show has a double sexual meaning. My problem is, it just isn't that good. Like it isn't horrible, but nothing in it makes it stand out from any other show of the same timeframe. If you take out anyone mentioning the robot is a robot, then I highly doubt anyone would knew there is robots in this show. If you look at the fundementals on how someone is able to afford such things to start with. You get no answer. If you take away that this guy more than less bought his relationships. He would be completely lonely. Take away all the guys being perverts, and most of the people in the show will be more than less normal. If you take away ecchi comedy, this show has nothing.

I wish I could say this show is a mile wide and an inch deep. But it isn't even that. 

IMO should you watch this? Well it's only 3 ep (about 1 hour and half long in total). Due to this I would say maybe. But I wouldn't go out of my way to watch it.

NOTE: If you are watching this for nudity or hentia stuff (because it kinda looks like that from the intro and what not). There isn't any sex, and the nudity is virtually not there.
