Tales of Wedding Rings

AbnerSilva★ 4

This anime isn't a good ecchi one. (Tl;Dr at the bottom) My reference for ecchi animes are: yosuga no sora, kiss x sis (the ova one) and most recently gushing over magical girls (which is a really good anime if you don't mind seeing some uncensored boobs) [Ecchi: 4/10] I know ranking ecchi is somewhat strange, but if you will be watching this anime, probably you'd be expecting something good in this topic, well ecchi is highly relative, if you are new to it you'd be probably shocked by seing boobs without censor, and thinking how could this not be a hentai? But there are far more animesthat go much far than that, with this said, if you are expecting something more than boobs appearing, then sadly this is not the one for you. [History: 4/10] The mc has a crush in his childhood friend that happen to be a princess from another world, when they share a kiss he gain a ring and become the "ring king" then receives some powers, it's not only one ring, in total they are five and each one of them are with a princess from certain land that he has to kiss, his objective is to gather them all and defeat the abyss lord. [Harem: 0/10] The harem part of this anime is very poorly done, the guy loves his childhood friend who is the first girl he gets but the others he just don't care about, in episode 9 he just straight up say to her you're the only one i want, even though he already acquired other 3, like why make a harem anime if the guy will just love one of them? This anime really don't needed to be a harem, in fact it would be better if it wasn't. [Romance: 0/10] The romance doesn't fall behind, it can be as bad as it gets, in this anime is that typical thing of the characters blushing for everything, principally the MC and his principal love interest Hime, but it's not the cute and lovely way it's the annoying and irritant one, like for example: every single time something happen between him and a girl like a kiss he just goes: "i'm not used to it yet" even though is the bazzilionth time he does it and as you would expect this really don't fits an harem anime. [Characters: 3/10] I swear i'm not just hating this anime but the caracters are just as plain as they can be, like the only really background and development that we get is in their "arc". In the anime each girl has her mini arc of 2 episodes, by the tenth episode the mc already did get all 5 of them leaving 2 episodes of them all together, outside of their respective arc they don't get any more development, for example, there is an reclusive elf girl that wants to discover the world but don't go because she made a promise, in the end of her arc the mc manage to get her to go on with him, you may think she would be baffled with everything she sees out there or scared of the people and this really happens but for like 2 episodes after her arc ends, the rest she just goes on with her life as if nothing really happened. [MC] I typicaly don't do a "[]" just to write down about the MC but i was incredulous, how can someone make a harem anime that goes against all things a harem anime needs? The mc gets embarassed to everything related to "girl" he just can't interact with a girl without getting sheepish, in okay with that but it's not in an normal level, it gets to a point that is annoying, in the first meeting the girl is normal and okay to get embarassed, but not every single time to every minusculous thing, and to add in top of that this anime is like the dogshit series where every time they will do the deed something happens, there are two times that they get to the moment but the mc just says "not yet, i want a climate first" even thought the girl is totally down for it, bro if it was me the girl wouldn't be able to walk for a fricking week, if you're expecting this one to has some action (if you know what i mean) you will be disapointed. And for the feats of the protagonist he hasn't so much in his side, there are moments he does something but aren't many and he never takes initiative in the romance aspect. [Overall] To be honest i was really hyped by this anime, i thought it would be a good one but unfortunatelly i was wrong, if you're looking for a good anime on the genres i cited even thought it is disrespecting with this anime i will be making a little list here because this obviously isn't the one. Ecchi: Kiss x Sis (Ova), Mahou shoujo ni akogarette, Higschool DxD, Prison School, My wife is the student council president, Kaifuku jutsushi. Harem: 100 girlfriends, Campione, Quintessential quintuplets, The testament of sister new devil, Saekano, Kanojo mo Kanojo, Date a live, Cafe terrace and its goddesses. Romance: Horimiya, SAO, Sakura Trick, Citrus, Yagate kimi ni naru, The angel next door spoils me rotten, Romantic killer. Tl;Dr: This anime manages to fail in every aspect of it, the biggest mistake i think, is it being a harem because everything goes against it in this anime. Being kindhearted i decided to give it four out of ten.

Oh, what can the world do without an ecchi like Tale of Wedding Rings these days? I probably had to check several times on various sources when this got announced for an anime adpatation. Why? That's because it felt like we already got the announcement years ago. Yet here we are with a 12-episode adaptation announced just last year and making its debut on the TV screen. And unfortunately, it should've probably remained better off of it. Now here's a head up. Tales of Wedding Rings is exactly what it looks like from its premise, promos, character designs, and even genre tags. It's not trying tohide what it sells and from the first episode, you're going to get thrown with fan service to the face along with the most one dimensional character roster this year so far in 2024. If you just want a guilty pleasure show with minimial creativity and storytelling, then read on further. When you have a beautiful girl giving you a ring, this signifies the start of a romance. Tales of Wedding Rings essentially begins with Hime giving her childhood friend Satou a ring. However, that ring isn't a symbol of love but instead a weapon used to defeat demons. It takes less than two episodes to show that Hime has feelings towards Satou but it doesn't end there. For you see, there are other rings in the show, and Satou seems destined to obtain them like a hero. Thus, we have a tale of wedding rings because Satou has to marry the princesses who carries those rings. Tale of Wedding Rings doesn't carry a feeling of mystery unlike his other previous adapted work, Dusk Maiden of Amnesia. Hardly in fact. This is treated as a rom-com fantasy with harem themes just the tags indicates. It desires to be a romantic fantasy but the execution is poorly done. The main reason revolves around the dull protagonist Satou who seems to just go along with being a hero. It's like he's acting on a script of a play and building off of what he's told. Outside of Hime, he manages to attract the attention of other princesses including Granart, Nefritis, Saphir, and Amber. All of them has a ring of different element and comes from different lands. Being a 12-episode series, you can guess that the characterization and development is minimal. They seem to just fall into Satou's lap after meeting him for a single episode or two. There really is no impactful relationship as all these girls are drawn to him like a typical harem protagonist. Hime is the most prominent among the harem as she is not only the first girl introduced but also the childhood friend. Naturally, she has an "advantage". There's an unwriten role in harem anime like this where these advantages allows her to get to the main protagonist first. There's even segments where the two are about to 'do it' only to be interrupted by some aisine reason. But alas, this is show was never made with a commitment to relationships. It just wants our protagonist to gather rings like pieces to a puzzle and unlock his true role as a ring hero. Sadly, even that isn't accomplished because this is and I say this with confidence: a very incomplete adaptation. By adaptation standards, you get alluring fan service with the princesses being decorated with attractive figures. Satou gets himself caught into compromising positions and I assure you, this anime is 100% aware of what it's doing. Fan service is filled with boobs, ass, and questionable positions. There are dialogues spoken throughout the show that suggests intercourse but because this isn't a hentai, those can't be aired on TV. Don't blame the idea on this series but do blame how the plot and character cast. To be honest, the premise doesn't sound so half baked if it's executed with some care. Sadly, this anime is the result of a rushed adaptation that puts shame on the fantasy genre this season.
