"Dust in her eye? I'm gonna kill it!" - Hakuya Mitsumine.

Over the last few years, Rom-coms have become stale; the violent tsundere, a harem, the childhood friend, unrequited love, all of the shows seem to have these itsy-bitsy things. As such, the comedy becomes stale, they become increasingly dull to watch and you automatically know what is going to come next.

But not with Mikakunin de Shinkoukei.
I repeat, you will not be able to predict what will be coming next in this little anime.

Mikakunin de shinkoukei is REALLY unpredictable. It drops the bomb on huge things like it's no big deal and makes a big deal ...

Engaged to the Unidentified generated very little hype coming into its season, being an adaptation of a relatively unheard of manga. So how exactly did it catch my attention when one glance of the line-up for the season had other shows I could of better invest my time with? Was it the cover image of three adorable looking girls in seifuku which called to me? Possibly... Actually, that was most definitely the case. C'mon, let's be honest; what other reason could there be and please don't tell me the synopsis had you brimming with optimism. I'm willing to give anything a chance as long as ...

This is, perhaps, the first slice of life anime series to finish in this winter season. And Dogakobo had, yet again, brought out another good anime for us to watch.

When I watched the first episode of Mikakunin de Shinkoukei, I thought that it would have a great story and I felt that it would be the best romcom anime for the season. But unfortunately, I wasn’t finding that expectation I wanted. Here’s why.

The story revolved around the Yonomori sisters, Kobeni and Benio, and the Mitsumine siblings, Hakuya and Mashiro. Akane, who is the Yonomori sisters’ mom, announced that Kobeni was somewhat engaged to Hakuya by ...

So we have a slife of life romance about dogs and people or is it... i wouldnt know BECAUSE THEY NEVER ACTUALLY TURN INTO DOGS. Now ima get this out of the way really fast, this does not affect the score in any way but ill just say this. If you have an anime where your main characters are not human but take the form of humans THEN SHOW US WHAT THEY REALLY ARE it just satisfies the need to know i mean i still dont know if there dogs, not dogs, half dogs, wheredog. This title translates to, engaged to the unidenitified and good ...

I have watched 47 anime shows (completed) and I never really bothered to write reviews. However, Mikakunin de Shinkoukei lit a spark in me. Inspired me to write about it, I suppose.

~Story~ (9/10)

Nowadays the typical idea for manga is that the characters suddenly meet. I got used to that and honestly, that was what I was expecting. However, in this case it is different. 16 year olds Hakuya and Kobeni find themselves caught in an arranged marriage. It was set up by Kobeni's deceased grandfather. As some shows do: Hakuya moves in with Kobeni. He has ...

Ugh, romantic comedies. They are usually a mix of romance, slice of life and, of course, comedy. I’m not a particular fan of any of theses genres, as Romeo x Juliet, Yuyushiki, and a number of other anime have successfully proven to me. If I dislike all these genres, why on Earth would I like something that is a combination of all three? The pleasant surprise of Chu-2 gave me hope for rom-coms, however, and I’m pleased to say that Mikakunin de Shinkoukei held up my expectations.

MdS is about a girl called Kobeni, who on her sixteenth birthday is suddenly told that she is engaged ...

hmm, since this is my first time to create a review of an anime, it might as well be an anime that I enjoyed!

"Papapara♪ papa♪ oh-oh♪ papapara♪ pa♪ yeah-yeah♪!"

"Mikakunin de Shinkoukei" or in English " Engaged to the Unidentified" at first glance this might be another romantic comedy about a girl who just turned 16 years old and suddenly she was informed that she had a fiance that will be living with her but I'm gonna tell you in advance, DO NOT JUDGE AN ANIME BY ITS SYNOPSIS or the first 4 episode (it’s one of my golden rule).

Mikakunin de Shinkoukei is a slice of life romantic comedy that only recently aired, didn't receive much attention and is adapted from a lesser-known manga.
However, under all the obscurity lies quite the gem of a show. While it doesn't fit everyone's tastes, especially if you are averse to SoL or romantic comedy, Mikakunin certainly delivers on what it aspires to be. It doesn't try to change up the traditional formula or anything fancy, but what it does attempt is executed charmingly.

The story follows the daily life and escapades of Kobeni Yonomori and her family. Many of the scenes are your typical high school slice ...

This anime was cute, yet frustrating. The main characters that are engaged never actually get any alone time to talk to each other and when they do, Kobeni just mumbles and doesn't actually talk about anything.

The story was very vague and didn't have any strong points and was disappointing. The ending was a let down in my opinion.

The art was very good, Kobeni is one of the cutest girls in anime, and each character is very well animated, and the settings are done decently. The characters are the strongest point in the art department.

The sound was pretty cute. They had little piano parts here and ...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KOBENI! Every girl dreams of their sweet 16th. (I'm only assuming here.) And so, what better way to celebrate your entry into womanhood...by giving you a brand new, totally unexpected and uncalled for, fiance and sister-in-law as a present! Today, the anime is Mikakunin de Shinkoukei, or, Engaged to the Unidentified in english translation. Let's begin.

Story (7.31/10): The story is essentially what I had in my intro. Our main protagonist Kobeni, who has reached the age of 16, has now received a fiance by the name of Hakuya, and a sister in law by the name ...

Overall Enjoyment: 3

Wow, this is the only anime to be compelling enough for me to even want to write a review, and not in a good way. This anime started off decent enough, and yet it went increasingly downhill from there. I felt zero development in any area of this anime, it didn't have any hint of depth. I was hoping for a charming rom-com that would be simple to watch and yet satisfying. I was disappointed, to say the least.

Story and Plot: 4

I wasn't completely uninterested in the plot, but it really dragged on and was weighed down by poor comedy on Benio's part. ...

The show centers around our main character, Kobeni Yonomori, a 16 year old at the start of the series when she finds out that she has been engaged to a boy from the mountains. Thus later that day the boy, who looks considerably older than Kobeni, and his sister, who looks more like an 8 year old drop by. Kobeni's mother, who for the rest of the series is less than a supporting character, tells her that her grandfather , long dead now, engaged them when she was very little. What follows in the next few episodes is how, Kobeni handles this news, and how ...

When something hits you in the face there is nothing you can do except wipe your face and keep going. The same trick applies to facts, you cannot change them once they have occured, you can only accept them and move forward.

Mikakunin de Shinkoukei follows the story of Kobeni a normal girl with fairly good grades from the point where she is told out of the blue that she is engaged to some guy she does not know named Hakuya. She is worried at first about her future, yet slowly she begins accepting her situation as well as her new guests through a series of ...

I stumbled upon this show the other day and marathoned through it in a couple hours, something I usually don't do unless I really like the show. Mikakunin de Shinkoukei is pretty much your typical rom com but it's fairly well done. It's not mentioned in the genre tags but there are supernatural elements which gives this rom com a little more flare.

Story:

While the plot is sort of generic and has been done a million times before, this series handled it differently than other shows which made it a bit more interesting. Basically, a girl turns 16 and a mysterious guy shows up on ...

Mikakunin de Shinkoukei, or Engaged to the Unidentified is a Slice of Life, Romance-Comedy anime that was slated in Winter 2014. At a glance, Mikakunin seems to be another generic show out of thousands released by Japan's animation industry, with your cliché main character living under the same roof with the opposite sex and hilarities ensue. But what the show provided is a decent slice of life with an awkward romance of two species.

To start, the show's story is generic, it plays the tired living under the same roof trope that a lot of shows has done. Even its catch, which can be seen in ...

Before I start talking about my opinion I need to say I am kinda biase to this show so don't read if you hate biase comment or my life long story.

First of all, I saw the famous "I don't like Sunday" dance or gif since long long time ago. It is also one of the most "brainwashing" dance from anime. Thus, I wanted to watch this since very long ago.

However, due to insufficient info I am not able to find out the name of the anime (although I once found out but I don't have time at the moment and by the time I am ...

The story is dumb, half the characters are unbearable, and the scenarios presented throughout the show are mind-numbingly stupid.

7/10 because I'm a f***ing idiot

In all seriousness though, this show managed to keep me smiling through most of the run time despite its shortcomings in general entertainment competency. The presentation is very "cutesy" which made it hard for me to hate the show as much as I should. The opening and ending songs and animations were also very warm and fun to watch.

The problems with the story can be forgiven if you just want to turn your brain off, however, the characters cannot and are the ...

I wasn't sure I would like this show, in all honesty. I happened upon it by chance, and with nothing else to do decided to give it a swing. In the end, I couldn't stop watching it till I had finished every episode, the process of which may have upset my non-anime-loving family members (in short, my whole family). The thing most intriguing about this show is it is not about supernatural abilities and the people who use them, but rather it is about people with abilities and how they live with them. The story plot is short, but carried out well; at no ...

The slice of life genre and I have never really had what one might call a stable relationship. It's a genre that often consists of nothing but charming visuals and comedy that does very little for me. So, to counteract this, the slice of life anime that end up in my cue usually have at least one extra theme or genre added, the most common being a romantic plot line. So, was my latest bundle of romantic cuteness enough to stave off the nothingness of a typical slice of life series?
