Inou-Battle wa Nichijou-kei no Naka de

After reading the title and synopsis and watching the first episode or two, you might expect to be treated to an anime where a group of friends gain superpowers and proceed to battle with each other for their own enjoyment... - That might even have turned out to be a unique and enjoyable adventure story, adding some flair to the supernatural genre... ...but, you'd be wrong for expecting something special. In fact, you'll be disappointed if you expect this anime to live up to its premise at all! This anime is, in fact, nothing more than a generic harem with an abundance of emotional drama. Supernatural battles are minimal andtake a back seat to the harem drama. In fact, they have a negligible effect on the overall plot. It would be possible to remove the supernatural element, re-write the story without it, and end up with something essentially the same. The supernatural aspect of the story is somewhat developed, but leaves much to be desired. We are given a slight bit of background, but it ultimately just leaves us with more questions than answers. All the potential that was there to turn this show into something unique and exciting was essentially wasted by taking it in an entirely different direction. With the exception of the last episode, nothing significant really happens. // [Note: I've avoided spoilers, but the plot is so generic, that the following part of my general review might just spoil it. // // That being said, you should rather read it anyway so you know what you're in for and avoid some disappointment.] // The harem aspect is the main focus of the show and is about as generic as they come. All the girls will ultimately fall in love with the male MC and end up competing with each other (Note: NOT with their supernatural powers) to be the "chosen one". For a show that looks to be a "fun" story, there is an unnecessary amount of emotional drama. Even [that] is just the generic jealousy/bitterness/longing/depression cycle - where girls bring themselves pain by bottling up their emotions. They'll eventually have their breakdowns, release their stress, come clean, make up, and ultimately just go back to trying to win over the MC for themselves. ~ Move along, nothing to see here ~ (etc.) As a harem fan myself, I should be enjoying this - I enjoyed many other generic harems after all ...but that is not the case. Most generic harems have some unique, worthwhile story to provide a little variation to the generic setting. Many throw in some fanservice and comedy. This anime, however, does not add any interesting flair to the harem setting - just an insufferable amount of drama - leaving the harem portion with an entertainment value of 0. In general, the anime does include small amounts of action and comedy to keep you watching, but not enough for meaningful enjoyment. The biggest crime of this anime, however, is that it didn't make proper use of the supposed "main" premise/setting. It ultimately fails to deliver on the [fun, supernatural battle action] that the [supernatural anime] fans, who'd be the most likely target audience, would enjoy. The whole basis of the story is neglected for the sake of bringing you a love drama. It's the ultimate bait-and-switch. The failed plot aside, the video is good, the sound is good, and the characters are somewhat interesting if you put their obsession with the MC aside. == Final verdict: == If you're into supernatural battle action anime: Don't waste your time watching this - it's pretty much all filler. If you're into harem anime: Put it LAST on your plan to watch list - every other harem I've seen is better. If you're into drama: Go right ahead - this one's for you. If you're a troll: Recommend it to your friends. For not being what it's supposed to be, I give this anime a mediocre 5/10.

Inou battle tries to blend the chuuni over-the-top comedy with the teenage drama commonly found in series like Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo. Do not be fooled by its title. While the series is named "Supernatural battles within daily life", the "Nichijou" part is far more prevalent than the "Inou battle" part, and what little plot or action concerning their powers there is gets confined to the very last episodes (and left with no closure) and its presence and relevance is marginal at best. The "nichijou" part is not too succesful either, as the transitions from comedy to drama sections are often abrupt and do notfit the general tone of the series well. The fact that everyone is in love with the MC is eyebrow raising as well because they hardly show why the female cast develops feelings, and therefore all the romance and drama arising from it is not as effective as it should be. While the series would have benefited from a stronger comedy section, it's still generic enough to be enjoyable if you don't mind the style in the first place but it is no more than filler between better series.

Moderator Edit: This review may contain spoilers. --- Ever go into a burger restaurant, only to realize that it sells some of the most kickass tacos? That's what watching Inou-Battle wa Nichijou-kei no Naka de feels like. Came in expecting superpower battles, came out having experienced one of the best anime dealing with friendship. Right off the bat, this anime tells a story of a group of normal high schoolers (and one primary schooler) gaining superpowers. For some inexplicable reason, they are now held with the burden of functioning as normal students with these destructive weapons at their disposal. Not surprisingly, this presents quite a problem for them;and I think that's the purpose these superpowers serve. They were implemented as a device to see how the main male character, Andou, would resist his chuunibyou desires to use his cool-yet-dangerous powers. They were implemented to see how Sayumi, the most level-headed member of the group, would manage this newfound burden as the leader (and so on and so forth). At the end of the day, we didn't get many battles; rather, we received a story of a series of struggles that these high schoolers faced while possessing these powers. There were many hints of romance throughout the series, but again, they were used as devices to highlight the friendship between the main characters. Tomoyo had to come to terms with her own self, accepting her chuunibyou and not being afraid to be who she was. In order to achieve that, she also had to come to terms with her feelings for Andou, as he was the one who truly allowed her to express herself. In a Sakurasou-like fashion, there was a side-story in which Tomoyo strove to be a light novel publisher. Initially hesitant, with the support of Andou, she boldly put her name out there (and got pretty damn far!). It's amazing how much an anime (that's technically a romance-comedy) can teach me about hard work and dedication. At the end of the day, it's not about how far you get; it's about how far you extended your efforts. Because of that, Tomoyo didn't have anything to regret, and Andou acknowledged her regardless. Another "romance" of Inou-Battle came in the form of Hatoko's relationship with Andou. Admittedly, while watching her interactions with Andou, I could greatly relate to a lot of the frustrations she had. Unable to relate to Andou (due to not having the same interests--see: chuunibyou), she was hopelessly trying to grab his attention, and yet, unable to do so. So frustrating a effort finally culminated in one of the most emotional seiyuu performances I have ever seen in an anime. So much emotion was put into every word; I truly understood the magnitude of Hatoko's frustration. I would dare say this scene alone makes Inou-Battle worth the watch (for those curious, it is in episode 7). At the end of the series, Hatoko didn't fully understand the person whom she affectionately calls "Ju-Kun"; despite that, she certainly had matured as a character and became infinitely better at understanding those different from herself. With the final episode, I think most who had been following Inou-Battle weekly would agree that there was a huge surprise; there was an actual battle with strategy! Indeed, a lot of confusion was cleared up with the explanations in the final battle, and it showed that there was a maturation process all the characters had to go through (especially Andou) in order to learn how to manage their powers. At the end of Inou-Battle, I think there are two main takeaways: with power comes the need for great responsibility, and friendships only strengthen when friends take the time to talk things out. Rather than harboring a silence anger, voicing frustrations is often the best thing that could happen for a friendship. It was a definite pleasure to watch such characters as Hatoko learn how to better relate to others, Tomoyo learn how to be honest with herself, and Andou learn how to balance chuunibyou with maturity. With Inou-Battle, don't look forward to supernatural battles. Instead, look forward to deep themes of hard work, responsibility, self-honesty, and friendship. Inou-Battle will deliver.

When Supernatural battles become commonplace. That's the title of this anime but it is highly misleading, I repeat, it's HIGHLY MISLEADING. There are no supernatural battles in this anime. This anime is your average romcom harem anime situated in school and the characters all belong to the literature club. Story 7/10: One day, the members of a literature club get superpowers. There superpowers are such, that if it were an action, shounen anime, it would be epicly amazing. But as it turns out, you only get to see the powers being used for fun and in a few episodes. Most of the series is spent in the romcom livesof the characters as they pass through everyday troubles. Character 8/10: The characters are quite nice. They've got there own stories and all of them have affection for the protagonist and there's quite a bit of comedy. Each character is unique in his/her own way. Enjoyment 8/10: This series is meant to be seen as a romcom series. I picked it up thinking there would be good action with some romcom because who doesn't like superpowered action harem romcom anime. But there is barely any action in it. But the romcom is good enough to enjoy. Overall, it's not a loss. Nor it's as awesome as other fall anime. But it's a good watch. But still, it could've been a lot better.
