"The Harem of the End" was originally a drama in October 2021, and with the original plot setting that was very eye-catching, many people paid attention to it before it started. However, just after the first episode began broadcasting, the official announced the postponement until January this year on the grounds of "further observation of its performance".
The animation was produced in collaboration with AXsiZ and Studio five groups. In the actual production, AXsiZ plays more of a collaborative role, and the main production task is taken care of by the studio five groups.
Studio Group Five is an animation company founded in 2010. With the connections of producer Shibata Tomonori, he has taken over many works since its inception.
Channel A is its first independent TV animation.
The original work of the work is a four-panel manga serialized in the Fangbun Society, but in terms of style, it is still the usual daily cute style of the Fangbun Society, and the only characters who appear are cute girls.
The story revolves around four high school girls with distinct personalities: Xiao Lun, Xiao Tou, Youzi and Nagisa, telling the ordinary but interesting daily campus life between them.
For such a monumental work, studio five groups also showed sincerity. Music is responsible for the gods, and the supervision is also a very senior in the industry.
The following year (2012), studio group five continued to produce the Achiga chapter of "Genius Mahjong Girl".
This animation was originally run by GONZO's fifth studio, and this fifth studio is actually the independent Studio Five group.
Due to the fact that there are almost no changes in the main production staff, coupled with the relatively good market performance of the previous game. Not surprisingly, the "Achiga Chapter" and the subsequent "National Chapter" were naturally handed over to the five groups. As for supervision, it is still Ono.
In the same year, studio group five also produced two other animations, namely "One of Them is a Sister" and "Oda Shinna's Wild Hope".
The former is also translated as "Threesomes Must Have My Sister". As a harem love drama, although the final reputation of the work is very general, there is a saying that there are still many welfare scenes in the whole animation. The voice actor lineup is also luxurious.
The whole work tells that the male protagonist, Tino Shogo, is about to inherit the position of president of a company, but before that, he must find his other half in high school.
It wasn't a very difficult thing to do, but when he actually took action, he found that several of the girls around him claimed to be his sister. How to find a girlfriend under the premise of identifying the real sister has also become the biggest test faced by the male protagonist.
The latter, Oda Shinna's Wild Hope, is a work that crosses the genre. Unlike the passage we remember, the place where the male protagonist of the work comes is not another world, but an era hundreds of years ago that is different from the history textbook.
After meeting Oda Shinnai, who has transformed into a beautiful girl, the male protagonist uses his rich historical knowledge to begin to help the other side unify the world.
Since then, until now, studio groups have been animating at an average frequency of about two films per year.
Some of these works are very good, while others are unremarkable. If you detail them one by one, there is no need to do too much, here is a selection of a few good reputation, or more interesting dramas:
The Golden Puzzle, Sophie Next Door, Pods, Seton College, Clear Love, and Like You in Vain.
The first two are mainly daily and cute animations, and the daily story between cute girls is the biggest attraction.
The last two are campus romances. "Qing Love" is more like an adaptation of the beautiful girl game, that is, the heroines who appear in the story have corresponding character routes. Each character line is about three episodes long. The actual look and feel is somewhat similar to "The Kiss of Christmas".
"In Vain Like You" is based on different male and female protagonists as the perspective, telling the process of their relationship from acquaintance to final interaction. The biggest feature of the whole work is sweetness.
And the middle of this "Hordes, Seaton Academy" is a funny comic adaptation animation. The setting of the story is still quite interesting, telling a school where humans and animals live together, and all kinds of interesting things happen around them.
As an animation company that has just been established for about 10 years, it is not easy for Studio Five to have this kind of performance today. And judging from the works in recent years, its style has gradually stabilized.
As for what interesting animations will be brought to us in the future, let's look forward to it
