Gleipnir is a show that is crushed by its own ambition. We have here a story about beings out of this world, super powers that could overthrow the social hierarchy and abundant shots of chests and butts. We have our run out the mill protagonist who is childish and weak, bland like a loaf of bread, we have a blonde who is sexualized to the point you cannot take her seriously and we have a plot that takes us nowhere but the start. Boring and repetitive the only saving grace of this anime is its production values, most of the scenery is sharp and it looks good. The animation is mostly okay and at the very end they treat us to a very nice fight animation. The sound design is okay but that’s it. It's just okay. I would avoid if you dislike bland characters and a confusing story. If you want to watch some fanservice I guess it's okay... 4/10.

At present, over 47% of the male population in Japan aged between 30 ~ 34 are single. While for women, the no. goes up to 60% for those in their late twenties. It is not that they are unable to get married. Rather, they all choose to remain single, as they believe that marriage is not the be all and end all. Life holds more promising things beyond marriage, and thus they are all celebrating life as a single. This drama takes a look at life from the perspectives of these men and women. Hoshino Mamoru is the President of a film production company, having taken over the position from his father. He is an excellent creative director, but he detests chaos and hence prefers to remain single. His brother, Susumu, works at the same company, taking care of the business side of things. Currently undergoing divorce proceedings, Susumu has had to move out of his marital home. Haruno Yuki is disillusioned with men, after having gone through several failed relationships. She wasn't making great strides in her career either, and so one day, she decided to quit her job and pursue her dream of becoming a scriptwriter. In order to pay the bills, she takes on a part-time job at a maid agency. Before she knows it, she gets her chance to make her dream come true! It could be Fate, or just plain coincidence, but the 3 of them are plunged into each other's lives; The "Affluent Single", the "Divorced Hero" and the "Marriage Refugee". Will a pivotal moment happen upon them? Will the "Affluent Single" decide to give wedded bliss a chance?
