Feb 24, 2013 Caleb_Marvell Recommended Once upon a time, I was browsing through My Anime List, looking for a new anime to watch. That's when I found Mashiroiro Symphony. From the look of it, I guessed that it was based off of a visual novel. I've been a big fan of visual novels being turned into animes, I guess that's why I liked A Bridge to the Starry Skies, The Rose Madder Colored Hills, etc. So, I decided to try it. I didn't expect to find such a masterpiece. So, story wise, nothing fancy. It's your typical harem anime that starts out with a boy coincidentally meeting what appears to be ...

Nov 23, 2014 OOCentral Recommended When I first took a look into Mashiro-iro Symphony I never thought it would drag me in as much as it did. It took hold of my attention when I was watching, and didn't let go of me until I got though the whole anime; and yes I did marathon the anime for me it was that good. Read more Open Gift Report
Jul 26, 2014 OliverGriffin Recommended This is quite possibly the best anime that I've ever seen that has harem listed as a genre. I'm sure that you will all agree that the most annoying thing about any harem anime is the perverted characters who tries to hit on everyone/ gets hit on by everyone. Thus, I have more or less given up on the harem genre and steer well clear. However, this anime is like hope at the bottom of Pandora's box. I really like how the protagonist is not just a decent person for once but he cares so much about everyone around him. All he is ever trying to do ... Read more Open Gift Report
Nov 12, 2011 daemonblade1229 Not Recommended Preliminary (2/12 eps) Mashiro Symphony: The Blandness of Half-Ass Ville I've watched 2 episodes of the anime. That was all I could muster before I just couldn't watch anymore. This is a preliminary review, based on what I've seen so far, and experienced based conjecture as to where it's gonna go. The best way to describe this is with one word: bland. Bland, bland, bland. Characters are extremely one dimensional. Any attempts to make them interesting or have the audience invest are cursory at best. This is especially true for the main character. He has no quirks, no eccentricities, no emotional palette. He has 3 emotions: smiling contentment, thoughtfully unsettled, ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jan 15, 2014 sudokia Mixed Feelings Judging by the cover of Mashiroiro Symphony: The Color of lovers, I thought this was just another typical cliche harem, you know, high school environment, different females for the male lead to choose. As I was progressing through the anime, I realized the plot was very "unique" and was driven by "unique" characters. Mashiroro Symphony does not follow the typical harem outline. Does that mean this anime was outstanding? exceptional? NOPE Personally, I don't mind if a harem is cliched or not, i was not expecting a unique plot, just your typical average harem. even if it was different I wouldn't mind it. So what went wrong? STORY ... Read more Open Gift Report
Oct 20, 2011 Imperialz Recommended Preliminary (3/12 eps) 1st thing to say, do not judge a book by its cover. This is not your standard visual novel adaptation. I am surprised myself. I watched for now, up until episode 3 and was surprised by everything it offers me. In fact some says about the ecchi scenes things but it does not disturbs the story and believe me, you won't find any more of that scene starting from episode 2, maybe it's an element to attract 1st time watcher but I think the element does not disturb the storyline after the 1st episode. 2nd, about the storyline, well, maybe pretty generic at 1st, the protagonist ...

Feb 7, 2012 retardation Not Recommended I decided, based on what I thought was sound reasoning to check out Manglobe's latest release Mashiroriro Symphony: The Color of Lovers. I'm not the biggest fan of eroge interpretations but when I have liked them they were usually produced out by the higher tier studios. I dug the output from studios like Kyoto Animation (Clannad, Kanon, etc.), Shaft (Ef series), and P.A. Work (True Tears) because those studios were able to mask the usual problems with harem/game based series with great animation, direction or story writing. I don't play eroge myself so I am not too certain about how often the source ... Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 22, 2011 mdz Mixed Feelings [contains some generalized spoilers, point of view from someone who didn't play the visual novel] Mashiro-iro Symphony (TV) is one of the two visual novels adapted this fall season. From what I know, the Visual Novel sold extremely well[#1 Oct 2009], but it was also extremely average[7.68@VNDB]. Unfortunately, it being “average” appears to carry on over to the anime. The characters are extremely generic and linear; there's very little character development [There's two tsunderes, the nice girl, the maid, and the sister]. In most romance series, relationships form, characters mature, they grow, they get more intimate with each other, it's gradual, but it's there. However, in Mashiro, ... Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 9, 2014 WindAngel959 Recommended If u aren't perverted then when u want to watch this anime,you will wavering because of the ratings which said "mild nudity" but don't worry,there is no visible and obvious nudity like ones in pervy anime at all. It is a truth that there are some scenes which male MC is forced to take a bath in same tub with some of fem characters coz the fem characters get in on their own even though they know that male MC already in the tub. But trust me,their body isn't being exposed or anything. So,don't worry,you wont see any ecchi nor hentai scenes in it :) well ... Read more Open Gift Report
Apr 6, 2012 Yuffira Mixed Feelings Ow, another harem any with pretty characters! Something I like to devour every now and then. It even started of with a decent plot and 3 very strong main characters. Sakuno,who seems to have had issues in the past and who could be a very interesting character, is sadly pushed to the background after just one episode. Airi, a strong looking woman, gets 3 episodes of glory but afterwords turns into background decoration. ... Read more Open Gift Report
Feb 11, 2012 ray357 Recommended Mashiro-Iro Symphony “White” -a pure and unstained color but could be dyed by any other color. The title of this anime can be translated as “Pure White Symphony.” I agree with the author to go with this title. It’s a very suitable title for such a pure, innocent anime. The story is rather simple, our male protagonist usually encounters with our heroine and many other female companions. Read more Open Gift Report
Sep 1, 2012 HeidenOvTheNord Recommended Romance-Comedy. We all know what to expect. But this one has one element that many other animes of this genre lack, a solid ending. He's picks one of the female characters, with a couple episodes to spare. For as much as I love anime, it get irritating to see again and again an open ended ending. They are fine but almost all of them rely on this (Shuffle! is the only other exception that comes off the top of my head). Everything about this series is solid, though nothing groundbreaking, but the conclusive ending made me appreciate this series much more. Read more Open Gift Report

Oct 10, 2011 divinelight Recommended -Updated below- There is no much revealing for the story from entire episode 1, but it's about how test students getting to study together with an all-girl-school for some times. The story is opened by a brother who searching his lost sister on the way home, not a great starter but surely a nice approach. After her sister's cellphone battery died, she was lucky to find another lost girl and both of them able to reunite with the brother. Simple, yet nice event. Art is ultimately the best part of this series, I could say I will watch entirely because of the art itself. Character design, much like the ... Read more Open Gift Report
Sep 6, 2012 Mindjack Not Recommended Mashiroiro Symphony is an adaptation of the eroge. I've never played the eroge, so it's kind of hard to really understand how the story was supposed to play out. The story was kind of everywhere. It jumped from one girl to another and it was pretty obvious too. After Sena and he had gotten into a bath together, they never really talked to each other after that. It was really confusing because I thought they had become close or something after doing something like that. Anyway, I guess the story tried to get some story about all characters to fit into the 12 episode limit that ... Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 28, 2011 VelocityWaffles Recommended characters: I think I'll start my review with the best part of this series, the characters. All of the characters in MS were amazing, they all had their own personalities and you learn a lot about each of them throughout the series. One thing I really liked was how they portrayed the main character shingo, instead of being some idiot with a short temper or a pervert they made him a helpful and very kind person who was genuinely concerned about others. All the other characters had depth to them and were very unique in my opinion, even if their personalities were built off of ... Read more Open Gift Report
May 29, 2012 blu3cru5ad3r Recommended Mashiro iro Symphony or Mashifony is a beautiful anime that tell a story of Shingo that meet various girls in girl's school which combine with his school. At first, the girls are opposed to this situation because due to the principal's daughter and also a student of this school, opposed it. The story flow beautifully and very enjoyable because shingo is a gentle, kind and caring person, he tries to solve this problem with a smile and thoughtful of other feeling. But that's why the girls are slowly but sure attracted because of the personality that shingo has. Art (9/10) The art of this anime is beautiful ... Read more Open Gift Report
Aug 13, 2015 Forsaken112 Recommended Alright this is my first review so I'll try to keep it a little shorter. When I first started watching Mashiroiro Symphony I thought it was going to be another quick rom/com harem that was a light watch with no conclusion. Man was I wrong..... This show left me conflicted on who to feel happy or sad for. With only 12 episodes to work with Mashiroiro Symphony developed it's characters nicely, in particular **(Minor spoiler)** having the MC actually choose a heroine and openly be the one to confess to the girl as apposed to having each girl confess to the MC fist then a ...

Oct 28, 2011 Anmolya Recommended Preliminary (4/12 eps) First of the anime is great and the very first episode hooks you on pretty good. I've liked the story so far and have been very intriguing. It has a very good first episode & things turn out to get be better and better. It does have some humorous parts where the main character goes into the girl changing room by accident, so there is a little bit of ecchi present for all those ecchi fans out there. If your looking for a fan service anime those anime does not have much of fan service close to none. If you are looking for a good ... Read more Open Gift Report More Reviews |
