Temple (Anime) add (All reviews)
Aug 13, 2024
I'm still trying to figure out why I stuck with this anime for as long as I did. I mean, the premise had some potential - a guy trying to escape his family's toxic legacy by becoming a monk? That's some interesting stuff. But no, instead we get Akemitsu, the most indecisive protagonist I've ever had the misfortune of watching.

He's all about avoiding his dad's womanizing ways, but then he meets some woman and suddenly he's all about "temptation this" and "desire that". Make up your mind, dude! And don't even get me started on the supporting cast - they're about as deep as a puddle.

I was expecting some serious introspection, maybe some cool spiritual insights, but nope. Just Akemitsu angsting around and making poor life choices. By episode 8, I was skipping through scenes just to get to the end. And honestly, I didn't even bother with the last episode. I just didn't care anymore.

Overall, Tenpuru gets a solid 1/10 from me. It's a mess of a show that can't seem to decide what it wants to be. If you value your sanity, stay far, far away from this one.
