Anime 34177 Tenshi No 3p Suggestion

Since entering high school, Kyou Nukui has not attended a single class. Instead, he spends his days locked in his bedroom composing music and posting it on the internet accompanied by his only friend's drawings, an artist with the pseudonym "Kiriyume." One day, Kyou hesitantly uploads his newest composition, and first departure from his typical style, TR03. Additionally, he does not upload under his usual handle "HibikiP," but simply under the name "me," and without a drawing from his mysterious friend.

Shortly after, Kyou receives a very polite email, not only praising his music but also somehow discerning that he is, in fact, the composer behind TR03. The e-mail also asks for a meetup in a nearby park, to which he cautiously decides to go. To his surprise, however, he finds three elementary school girls at the meeting place! Suddenly, Jun Gotou, Nozomi Momijidani, and Sora Kaneshiro ask for his help to hold a concert in their home, an old church now used as an orphanage. And though Kyou is reluctant at first, after seeing their musical abilities, he eventually decides to accept their proposal.

Based on the light novel of the same name by the award-winning Sagu Aoyama, Tenshi no 3P! follows Kyou as these three angels change his life.

Loli heaven. That's all there's to it.

All the girls are super cute, super adorable and incredibly pretty, props to the artists and designers they did a great job.

Who would've thought a slice of life anime about cute little girls would be so entertaining, there's not a "main" story but every episode hooks you up. The antics were very funny and everything was very well managed.

The music was not my cup of tea, but if you are into cute pop/alternative jrock then you are gonna like it (but then again what else can you expect from a band that is made of elementary school ... girls??)

Sakura is just beautiful, sad there wasn't any fan service of her, but I hope if one day there's a second season we'll see some of her :)

Funny anime with moments that will warm your heart. Definitely recommended.

Mixed Feelings

I originally dropped this series, it felt kind of exploitative to have a character in high school help three, orphaned elementary schoolers — who all openly flirt with him. Truthfully, it gave me the heebie-jeebies, especially when there started to be more and more uncomfortable ecchi scenes. But, I gave it chance again, shortly after I became a fan of "Rō-Kyū-Bu!" — which is by the same writer, Sagu Aoyama, and their stories are always a ray of light through a cracked window sill of ethical obscurity.

⚠️ This review of Tenshi no 3P! will be spoiler-free ⚠️

—Story/Characters

As I mentioned earlier, the framing of the premise ... in the beginning of the series seems... pedophilic, but when Kyō's doting friend from school ("Sakura Toriumi") starts to help him look after the girls... it seems less like a potentially manipulative situation and more like a couple taking care of children. It reminded me of the situation in "Elfen Lied" — where Kōta and Yuka take care of the mentally incapacitated "Nyu", and they begin to fall in love while looking after her! The situation is even more averted from the initial weirdness, because Kyō Nukui is like many other harem protagonists and will get flustered by a moment of sudden intimacy, but is too shy and kind-hearted to act on anything!

Kyō Nukui is a high school drop-out, turned shut-in, who is more or less an unstated VOCALOID composer — going under the handle of "HibikiP"! Jūn Goto, an orphaned young girl, sends him a private message and asks him to help write compositions for her band, so that their orphanage doesn't get shut down. Yes, it's like every season of "Love Live!"... but, with children instead of teenagers! It is then revealed that his childhood friend, that is in the same grade as him, is also an orphan and grew up in the same chapel as the young girls! Naturally she joins in their effort to preserve the building, partially because of her feelings of nostalgia and her budding relationship with the trio, and also, because it's clear that she has a crush on Kyō! I call it "childhood friend syndrome"! If you didn't know already, it's a chronic condition in anime!

There are various conflicts along the way, Nozomi (the bassist), almost gets adopted by her biological grandfather in England and is torn on whether to move or stay with her friends; Kyō's closest online friend also invites the girls to perform on a resort island, but there is more behind the request then they originally think! Despite all of the twists and turns, the girls all stick together and Kyō's harem grows, after the introduction of two new characters (Kyō's younger sister can also be considered a part of the harem, but I try not to think about that too deeply...) and thus, the romantic comedy hijinks ensue!

Luna's Favorite Works by Each Respective Creator = ✅

Shinsuke Yanagi (director), notable works:
* Chōjin Kōkōsei-tachi wa Isekai demo Yoyū de Ikinuku you desu! ("CHOYOYU!: High School Prodigies Have It Easy Even in Another World!")
* Jaku-Chara Tomozaki-kun ("Bottom-Tier Character Tomozaki")
* Momo Kyun Sword
* Netoge no Yome wa Onnanoko ja Nai to Omotta? ("And you thought there is never a girl online?") ✅
* Rō-Kyū-Bu! SS ✅
* Ryūō no Oshigoto! ("The Ryūō's Work is Never Done!")
* Zettai Junpaku♡Mahō Shōjo ✅

Commentary: I haven't seen all of Mr. Yanagi's filmography, but from what I've watched, it's mostly so-so in terms of quality. As I mentioned before, I am a fan of the "Rō-Kyū-Bu!" franchise, but Keizō Kusakawa's adaptation of the first season was far better than the second season, directed by the aforementioned Shinsuke Yanagi. I would say that "Tenshi no 3P!" has been his best creation, since his directorial debut (that I HAVE SEEN). A very fair-to-middling director, but he gets the job done!

Good Seiyū Work = ✅

Really Enjoyed the Seiyū's Performance = ✅✅

One of Luna's Favorite Performances OF ALL TIME = ✅✅✅

Yūki Inōe as Kyō Nukui, notable roles:
* A106, Atom: The Beginning ✅

Commentary: I haven't heard any of Mr. Inōe, I only listened to him as A106 briefly in the one or two episodes that I saw of "Atom: The Beginning"! His voice isn't the most distinctive, but it functions fine with many of the first-person perspective camera angles that we're seeing the story through. His demeanor is that of an eroge protagonist, but it works well with the story that the author was trying to tell. Great job!

Yūko Ōno as Jun Gotō, notable roles:
* Nemesis, Infinite Dendrogram ✅
* Yuzu, Konohana Kitan ✅✅✅
* Aya Asagiri, Mahō Shōjo Site ✅✅
* Hiyo Yukino, Ongaku Shōjo (TV)
* Jeanna D'Arc, Ulysses: Jeanne d'Arc and the Alchemist Knight ✅✅✅

Commentary: Ms. Ōno is a fairly new talent in the industry, but I freakin' love her voice! I thought she was amazing in "Konohana Kitan", "Mahō Shōjo Site", and "Ulysses: Jeanne d'Arc and the Alchemist Knight"! Aside from Sakura being a top pick for best girl, Ms. Ōno's performance as Jun Gotō was very charming and, for me, she was easily the most likable out of the main trio! Incredible performance, and I hope that Yūko Ōno keeps getting more roles as cute girls!

Yurika Endō as Nozomi Momijidani, notable roles:
* Asuna Kangoshi, Anime de Wakaru Shinryōnaika ("Comical Psychosomatic Medicine")
* Lisa Imai, BanG Dream ✅ — role reprised by Yuki Nakashima
* Haruno Yoshikawa, Diamond no Ace (series)
* Windom, Kaijū Girls: Ultra Kaijū Gijinka Keikaku ✅
* Rina Sakai, Sakura Trick

Commentary: It's hard to create a comparison between Ms. Endō's other roles and this one, because I'm so accustomed to Lisa Imai's "new" voice, that's it's difficult to remember how she sounded before the switch! Regardless, while she is the least memorable girl out of the main three, Ms. Endō still makes Nozomi intensely likable! Great work!

Aoi Koga as Sora Kaneshiro, notable roles:
* Kaguya Shinomiya, Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai: Tensai-tachi no Renai Zunōsen ✅✅✅
* Hanabi, Mahō Shōjo? Naria☆Girls
* Yuri Miyata, Two Car

Commentary: Most recently, Ms. Koga's most famous role is Paimon in the mobile game, "Genshin Impact"! With that being said, Ms. Koga has such an adorable voice, I love her as Paimon and Kaguya's character is the most enjoyable part (FOR ME personally) in the "Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai" series! Sorry, Chika! A blossoming young talent in the industry, I hope that Aoi Koga can land more hit roles! Amazing work!

Commentary: Ms. Itō is one of my favorite voice actresses of all time, and she does a perfect job at making the tsundere, childhood friend a compassionate and headstrong girl. I would compare her performance as Sakura Toriumi to her roles as Nana Astar Deviluke ("To LOVEる") and Airi ("Queen's Blade")... it's funny because Sakura is a twin-tailed character and her seiyū voices Airi, who is considered to be one of the most iconic twin-tailed characters of all time! Amazing performance, as always — Ms. Itō has such a strong presence and a beautiful voice!

Commentary: Another seiyū that I love! Ms. Hidaka has a wonderful voice! Kurumi, Kyō's little sister, was the dark horse best girl of the show, because she was so enigmatic, snarky, and talented! I would compare her role in "Tenshi no 3P!" to her performances in "Tamako Market" ("Anko Kitashirakawa" is in my list of the top ten best little sisters of all time), "Inu x Boku SS", and "Show By Rock!!" — Ms. Hidaka the mastery of cute, moe performances perfected! Fantastic job, as always!

Commentary: Everyone knows who Kana Hanazawa is, but in this production she plays a lonely loli with a tragic life. There is no one better that they could have been chosen for the role, Ms. Hanazawa completely nails it! I would compare her performance as Kōme Ogi to her roles voicing Tomoka Minato ("Rō-Kyū-Bu!") and Ruri Gokō ("Ore no Imōto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai"). Extraordinary work, as always!

Commentary: Yuzuha probably has the smallest presence out of the girls, but she was still a very memorable character! Upon seeing her design, I get a fuzzy feeling, a feeling of warm nostalgia! Ms. Iguchi has that effect on me, I can recall feeling that way about her roles as Miku Kohinata ("Senki Zesshō Symphogear") and Mako Reizei ("Girls und Panzer"), too! Marvelous performance!

If you have a zero tolerance policy towards younger characters being featured in a number of ecchi scenes, then this is not the anime for you. Despite the series being a soul-stirring experience (even though "Rō-Kyū-Bu!" had a slightly better adaptation), there are still some questionable scenes. Though, luckily, Kyō Nukui has the same affliction as Tenchi Masaki in "Tenchi Muyō!" — where he'll blush or get flustered, but is too kind-hearted or shy to make an advance on anyone, even girls his own age! I enjoyed the splash of adorable, platonically pure moments and the girls' friendships with each other were nice to experience second-hand. I rate Tenshi no 3P! a 6/10, and suggest it to anyone who isn't too weirded out by the fanservice!

Not Recommended

I watched Tenshi no 3P because I adored Ryuuou no Oshigoto, a more recent loli show from the same studio. It was obvious straight away the two aren't at all similar in spirit or quality, and furthermore Tenshi no 3P shouldn't be compared with anything that's not also a pile of garbage. With the studio's next upcoming work being for a mobile game, one gets the impression they are all about budget contracts, so it's not surprising their output includes adaptations of trash.

Overall, Tenshi no 3P is unsalvageable. Usually I wouldn't bother writing a negative review on an obscure last year's show that I should ... have just dropped, but the contrast with Ryuuou no Oshigoto, still somewhat recent and superficially similar, is so stark that I thought it was worth noting.

The show starts as weak, and devolves to being totally phoned in, becoming a letdown despite the start. Around episode 3 or 4 I was starting to warm up to it in a you-ground-me-down kind of way, but then after the band's first performance it kept going further and further off the deep end.

There was no real overarching story - the band plays for the first time and then plays a few more times while a few bizarre or at least bizarrely handled sidestories happen. Seemingly major plotlines get casually dropped or brushed away multiple times, which at times felt merciful because of how bad the writing is. There was a "Christian" theme, gifting us with loads of hamfisted inspirational dialogue. At the beginning there was really squalid fanservice, and by the end there was full-on hareming, both of which suffered from the poor writing, and the visual quality, while adequate, didn't help them pop either.

The best that can be said of the visuals is that they were competently cheap. Anything more would have been wasted on this show. I didn't mind the voice acting.

My interest was perked for a second time when the mc promised to go on a date with each of the girls. I'm not sure if I misunderstood or if that "plotline" just got dropped, because in the end he only ever went on a date with one, the story apparently preferring to spend its time on stuff such as a cringeworthy mentoring sequence.

There were no eligible male characters other than the mc, because conveniently the mc was a shut-in pussy and therefore not even a token friend was required. There were traces of serious character development (or if there were more than just traces I'm in denial because of how bad it was), but in the end everyone is fodder for comedy or sex appeal, which is not a criticism per se. Of course, the show fails to be funny, and the fanservice wasn't laid thick enough to carry it for 12 episodes either. Sora (I think that was the name of the low-energy girl) was the only thing I found passably funny with any consistency.
