After reviewing a series which I would seriously consider as my best anime of this year lets move onto something which could be considered my worst anime of this year, this is Aesthetica of a Rogue Hero.
Akatsuki is a Rogue Hero, in other words he saves the worlds he travels to but only to satisfy himself; his latest conquest brings with him Miu, the daughter of a Demon Overlord he slayed, but to avoid suspicion the pink haired busty demon girl along with Akatsuki himself get enrolled in a special school for people with supernatural abilities and quickly draws the attention of the student council, seeing as Akatsuki is a bit of a dick and a huge over confident pervert, he uses his unique ability to manipulate his chi as well as the chi of others to his own ends whether it's triumphing over a monster or using it for perverted means if only to piss off other characters, that's kind of it really, the story doesn't have a clear ending as the manga is still going but for what's available at the moment it doesn't really encourage me to find out what happens next and that's a huge problem.
With only 12 episodes to work with, it's barely able to introduce most of the characters without completely losing focus and many of them are really not that likeable; Haruka Nagase gets special mention here as she reminds me of a sick mixture of Naru Narusegawa and Asuka Langly Shoyru.
Other characters aren't much better with Akatsuki being the only standout among a sea of mediocrity that is this Anime's cast.
But I suppose when you advertise yourself starting with "From the Makers of Queen's Blade" you leave yourself open for heavy criticism and with bad characters, unfinished story, poorly executed attempts at fanservice boarding on uncomfortable it's not really going to leave such a heavy impression. Majikoi was better than this, heck Senren Kagura, Ikki Tousen & the actual Queen's Blade is better than this. Dub is normal, nothing worthy of noting but Alexis Tipton's performance as Haruka Nagase grates on the ears a bit.
Final Verdict: There's nothing in this anime you can really take away, it's just one big disappointment, I'd give it a miss.
