Editorial Reviews

Which girl would YOU choose? With this collection, you can have them all!

Shuffle is full of girls in panties – humans in panties, Gods in panties, and even Demons in panties. This series is overflowing with the flirty fun you love, and defies the expectations of the “boy meets girls” genre by giving the ladies personalities that set them apart from the pin-up pack.

Rin’s a lucky guy. Whether down the hall, next door, or from another realm, girls seem to be everywhere – and they all want Rin for themselves! He lives with Kaede, a beautiful sweetheart who pampers him constantly. Sia and Nerine have arrived from distant supernatural lands seeking his hand in marriage. Oh, and they both moved in next door! Now the competition for Rin’s affections begins, and no matter which girl wins – there’s no way Rin can lose!

5.0 out of 5 stars SHUFFLE!, June 16, 2011

This review is from: Shuffle! The Complete Series (Viridian Collection) (DVD)

Let me just say that Rin (the main character in this anime) has the type of luck any red-blooded man would want. He has two MEGA HOT princesses who want him for their husband. One is from the demon world and the other is from the world of the gods. Unfortunately, with extremely hot girls in animes these days comes the psychotic groupies.....if only there were no groupies and you could have both of them for yourself. The story is very heart-warming and the princesses' fathers are pretty funny. The carrot-top (Kaede) turns out to ALSO be in love with Rin (unbeknownst to herself) but it turns out Kaede might be a little off the deep end (you'll discover why later on in the anime.

There's the perfect combination of sexiness and romance. If you love drama animes then I would recommend you buy this anime, owning a copy of this anime I can tell you it is well worth the buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally! A Tasteful Harem Anime!, May 11, 2011

This review is from: Shuffle! The Complete Series (Viridian Collection) (DVD)

When I first saw Shuffle! I automatically fell in the love with the art style. It's beautiful and it carries through the series and is not just on the cover. However, I immediately also noticed the many beautiful female characters and felt a sense of fear and disgust... I am not a big fan of fan service-y animes with many beautiful girls falling in love with an average boy... So I put it down and didn't give it a chance for a long while. In the end, I was very pleased I gave it a chance.

The Story (SPOILER WARNING): 8/10
This is a very interesting story. The character entrances and their reasonings for appearing are well-thought out and well done. However, I did feel the series dragged when nearing the start of the climax... Though the humor and insights in the girl's pasts gave it a little more life. However, Sia's story wasn't well thought out and it seemed very random and forced. Primulla's was the best and becomes the main plot for a good chunk of the series. All-in-all a good series.

Fan Service Taste Test (SPOILER WARNING): 9/10
What turns me off most about any series is the fan service - the random and unnecessary exposure of panties, cleavage, breasts, or the entire female form. Being that this is a harem anime, I expected the worst when it came to fan service. However, I was pleasantly disappointed. There is hardly any indication to any fan service in the beginning of the series. It isn't until, I believe, Primulla appears that the fan service begins. Then, it is done in such sparse and tasteful ways that you almost don't mind the full-blown nude scene by Sia. Furthermore, the scenes are very brief or very casual. The only time I had an issue might have been with the beginning of Mayumi's little filler episode, but that quickly dissipated as the episode continued.

Character Originality: 9/10
The characters are all very lovable and have their own personal quirks that separate them from the stereotypes of anime characters. There is still the element of familiarity when it comes to the dynamic of the harem and the personality, but they have such depth you almost don't see the stereotypes. Even Asa, the hardcore female who has many violent tendencies, ends up exposing her soft side toward the end and gives you a whole new view of her character. However, I found the male lead, Rin, to be lacking in personality. He's one of those characters that can be forgotten very easily - the nicey-nice guy with hardly any depth and is almost always smiley-smiley in even the worst situations, but when paired with certain characters in an episode he can become very likable.

Overall Series: 9/10
I would recommend this to anyone who wasn't VERY anti-nudity and fan service. If you're under the age of 14 I would wait until I felt I was mature enough or emotionally ready for it. Other than that, this is a perfect series for those who love anime romance and fantasy. Very well done and I will be adding this to my anime collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars First Harem Anime, August 13, 2011

By 

Kyle - See all my reviews

This review is from: Shuffle! The Complete Series (Viridian Collection) (DVD)

To be honest at first I was more or less scratching my head saying hmmm ok... But as the series went on I found myself getting more into it. The main character didn't really seem to lean towards any of the girls untill a few episodes with one of them.
Farther in I found myself wanting him to hook up with one of them but didn't seem it was going to turn out that way. As the story progressed and was on it's 10 or so last episodes I found myself getting farther and farther on the edge of my seat, wanting to watch episode after episode. The ending was amazing and I was very happy with the way it turned out, it didn't let me down one bit.
To sum it up in my opinion it took alittle while to get going, but when it did, it didn't disapoint at all.
