Sado Taro is a first year high school student with a problem. He's a major masochist. He likes it when girls are abusive towards him, both physically and verbally.

Taro is encouraged by his classmate to seek help from the school's "Second Volunteer Club". 

I usually try to watch a few episodes before I'm so judgmental on something. The first episode is usually the "setting up" episode. It's the episode that gets the pieces of the story in motion so that all the other episodes will fall into place. I couldn't even sit through the full first episode. I tried, I honestly did, but it was annoying. So very annoying. I've never been so annoyed with a anime so badly in my life and I've seen some rough animes. Usually I can sit through at least the first episode and maybe even the second episode. I, however, would rather burn flesh from my arms with a magnifying glass then to sit though anymore of that garbage.

Maybe it really is a great anime. Maybe the manga was fantastic and I'm being overly judgmental. I'll never know because I can't even sit through the first episode. I don't have anything against "ecchi" animes. Everyone is a bit perverted in some way or another. My opinion of this anime has nothing do do with the perverseness of the first episode. It has everything to do with being able to capture my attention.

Kudos to those of you who have managed, whether you liked it or not, you get major kudos. Maybe one day if the far off future I might be able to look back and try to watch MM! again and successfully make it through the first episode and on to the second episode. But until that day comes, I'll still with it being annoyingly bland.

If you're curious as to why I even attempted to watch the anime. I watched the preview and figured it was worth a shot. I'm willing to give anything a chance even if it's not to my taste in shows. The art style is nice and neat. Very colorful and vibrant. But the story just isn't attention grabbing enough to keep me interested.

For those wanting to give it a shot. Here's the promotional video for MM!. If you have a difference of opinion please feel free to comment and state it. Thank you.
