Nagaraste Airantou
Airantou. A small, unnoticed island in the middle of the vast ocean. Tranquil, serene, lush... And populated entirely by women. That's right, not a single man in sight. A fishing accident almost 10 years prior forced every man far away from Airantou. Enter the protagonist: Ikuto. Ikuto has run away from his home, more or less to spite his father and the saying 'Absolutely impossible' which plagues him so. The ship that Ikuto was traveling on entered a storm, and by some freak accident he got thrown into the water. After drifting to within an inch of his life, he finally hits land. And, you guessed it, right on Airantous beach. The story thereby follows Ikuto and the girl that took him in, Suzu, as Ikuto tries to get off the island where he's basically being hunted by every girl.

So, as you'll have guessed from the description, it's a harem/shounen/love story. It's not bad, persay, in fact it does have some really funny sections. Though, there's no comparison to the manga, the anime wouldn't stand a chance. It's funny, it's pervy, it's cute, but I wouldn't say it's anything to get your hopes up over.

The Scores:

Art: 9/10
There were no visible inconsistencies in the art, and everything was bright and cheerful, it did fit the genre and location very well. The fact that they were putting so many loli's in as characters could either make or break this anime for someone. Be advised that it's also semi-ecchi, but that's what y'get for watching a Harem anime. ^^;;

Music: 7/10
Overall, the music was not bad. Not great, but not bad. At the very least, it's not something that annoyed the hell out of me.

Story: 4/10
I'm not gonna lie, the story line of the anime was weak, and the ending pissed me off. Watching the series as stand alone episodes is entertaining, but if you're looking for storyline, I'd say the manga is a far better bet.

Total: 7/10 (ish)
It's a respectable score. Not fantastic, but respectable. Individual ratings could vary based on the artwork, but I think it's a fair score. Another series that could be used to kill time, but nothing life altering.

And in case you hadn't noticed I highly recommend the manga!!!
