I watched this animation by accident and it got me hooked by the end of first episode.it is very different to other Japanese animation. For a change the main guy is not spineless clueless cry baby. He is a real hero, confident and mischievous specially around wannabe guy girls. Loved it. I was getting so sick of watching show after show with main guys being clueless and wimpy. Hope they make more of these. Very funny. Very entertaining. In response to a reviewer who said they should put a weakness in the main guy. Go away and watch any other Japanese animation and you get your spineless guy. Honestly, I don't know why they make the men characters like that. Entertainment world is becoming upside down. They want to turn guys to girls and girls to guys. No wonder less and less people are going to movies! Get a clue it just does not make sense.

fun action anime
joelherro22 September 2012
this is definitely one of the better animes i've seen recently. Action, adventure, excitement (a jedi craves not these things, but the rest of us might!)...and boobs are an added bonus haha...
Akatsuki is a hero that brings a demon lord's daughter, Myuu, back to his home world from a parallel world after slaying her father, but finds life full of challenges at his new school of magic, since he's super tough and everyone wants to fight him all the time...plus people from the parallel world are constantly after Myuu, since they think a demon lord's daughter can't live a normal life and will be somehow seeking revenge for her father's murder...
Akatsuki is just about the coolest and toughest leading anime character i've ever seen, and i've seen heaps...and he's not afraid of women like most of the wimpy guys, but prefers to play with their boobs and/or steal their underwear...but he also has a soft side and isn't a complete pervert...he pretty much rocks and is the best thing about this show...but everything about this show rocks, from the characters, to the action, to the animation, its all good...hopefully there will be a second season...check it out for sure!

Would Be Better if Our Hero Wasn't Such a Hero

Warning: Spoilers
Aesthetica of a Rogue Hero has an interesting "What Happens Next?" concept for a sword-and-sorcery hero Akatsukia Ousawa after he beats the evil demon, claims the beautiful girl in the castle, and makes his escape to our own world with the maiden in tow.
The girl, Miu, is a pretty princess and daughter of the dark lord that Akatsuki defeated. Coming with him as per her father's dying request of the Rogue Hero, Miu is a sweet, innocent and well-endowed girl with pink hair that animetors seem to love but I never understood and a tendency to get felt-up by her kidnapper/rescuer for various reasons.
Akatsuki himself is the exact opposite of a standard ecchi/harem MC: he's strong, he's good-looking, he's badass and he knows it. He's always confident in his own natural abilities even though That is the main problem with this anime: it's main man falls into the opposite trap of most harem anime MCs in that he's TOO perfect. Akatsuki is an nigh-unbeatable fighter with no ego and an endless supply of well-placed confidence, he's always upbeat and cheery-eyed, and he knows his way around a woman's body, which he often demonstrates on his "little sister*" Miu (intentionally or not, I can't say). I found that there wasn't as much tension as there would've been if he'd been a little less badass. It didn't really bother me until the end of the anime, when he gets attacked by the final boss of the dungeon and his body de-poisons itself.
Seriously, show? You couldn't give us just ONE moment of weakness for our main man to make him, I don't know, RELATABLE? Miu even got undressed for convenient but touching fan service; could you stop being perfect for TWO MINUTES?! While it IS a memorable anime, all of its problems stem from the same place as its unique quality: the hero being more of an idealistic female fantasy than an actual human being. The powers are more-or-less the same say-the-magic-words-and-win-a-free-weapon-and/or-spell that nearly every other anime like this has. It's sword and sorcery world is your standard Tolkein world that, let's face it, you've seen a million times but never get tired of. Check it out. It deserves at least one watch.
*Don't worry, she's not his real sister.

simply uncommon hero
kavamale19 January 2020
Fun interesting and fan service and some hardcore jokes not recommend for children but for adults refreshing to see hero that is not just op but nasty to the core. sadly no second season. from most regular op hero harem anime difference is simple hero. worth to see.
Adventure, action, fun, & beautiful babes.
ajrcvr23 July 2016
"Aesthetica of a Rogue Hero" is indeed a hero's story. The hero, Akatsuki, is a strong, handsome, cocky warrior who becomes much admired by both the other males and the women. He saves the beautiful Princess, Miu, in another dimension and kingdom, Alayzard, and brings her back through a dimensional gate to what should be this world, where he swears to protect her. The trouble is, there are elements in Alayzard that are still after Miu and want to bring her back to be executed. Akatsuki must fight a series of magical warrior people here in this world as well as some from the other world, all the while protecting the very well put together Miu, whose incredible figure and more incredible boobs are displayed for us often enough, while our hero occasionally has the chance to give those gorgeous boobs a squeeze and feel every now and then. There are some other beauties there who get in various states of undress for our visual appetite, and that all goes into the mix of this hero story, where Akatsuki has to deal with all of it.
Our hero has an indomitable spirit, which fuels his battle magic that he doesn't call magic, but rather "linked energy manipulation." I get why they make the distinction, but it's really magic, and his is powerful.
The graphics are very good, and the animation decent for this type of thing, and altogether this is a fun romp through a hero's life, with battles, dragons, naked babes, and swordsmanship. Definitely worth seeing.

There should be penalties for open ended but cancelled top rate animes
richardredner30 December 2023
This, like so many before it, has the awful status of "leaves you hanging right at the best part!" These anime writers have the absolute WORST ADHD! They can't stick it out with one title at a time. They write, and then don't even fight for the life of their anime series when these production companies try and cancel them.
There's something wrong with the fact that at least 75% of released top rated animes end right as the storyline is getting turned up. They work so hard on character development and backstory and get so many little struggles going but then 6-13 episodes in, they cut it off leaving you with a big case of blue ummm -zzz lol. Yea go with that, blues. Lol Please finish what you started!

Offbeat but uninspired ecchi with a sprinkling of SciFi and Fantasy.
dameon_green21 May 2020
Haven't read the manga/LN's for "Aesthetice" so can't comment on the core material however the anime seems to want to have a story but it ends up a by episode setup for its Ecchi side.
To underpin this the "Antihero" Protagonist main super power is "energy manipulation" (chi) which he uses for semi-erotic purposes while "helping" the women around him (harem style).
Credit given where it's due, who the hero is defending is unexpected, but it doesn't make up for the overall mediocre anime.
Pros:
Cons:
Wikipedia lists the genres as action, fantasy, harem but it really should have Ecchi added to the list.

Pros:
- Hero is protecting an usual target.
- Amusingly overpowered/confident hero.
- Consistent animation.
- Solid English dubbing.
Cons:
- Cliche / Trope heavy.
- Heavy "Fan Service".
- High cheese factor.
- Older animation style, doesn't hold up as well.
- No second season.
- Predictable to a fault.
- Weak dialog.

Great reversal
jennahobbs2 May 2022
Yes, this is an ecchi, but I like to think of it as more of a reversed isekai. Yeah, a hero was summoned to another world, but that's not where it starts of - it starts with his leaving that other world to go back home to earth. The best part? He's a perv that leaves through the gate with the demon lord's hot daughter. So, like I said, the hero's a perv, but he's actually a sweet guy that usually only does pervy things to distract, take the blame for others' benefit, and to cheer people up. I really can't wait for season 2.
Nice one
