Oh god is this boring. For a series that was viewed for bad character development and relied on good art and better fight scenes this is less exciting then watching paint dry. Its pretty that's the most praise I will ever give it. Its an action anime right? Then why are most fight scenes of people standing still and just swinging their swords twice. Yelling and good music can only go so far when all I see on screen is a guy holding a sword NOT MOVING for almost an entire minute.
This should of been a revival of Kirito with a new interesting story
...
but instead it becomes a lackluster friend adventure due to terrible fight scenes and never ending cringy dialog.

Gen Urobuchi is losing his touch. The man has been credited with some of the greatest stories ever written and is known for killing off many characters in highly effective ways. However after with incredible success with Madoka Magica and Fate/Zero Urobuchi reached his limit. Gunslinger Stratos is a underwhelming approach at what happens when worlds collide.
Both of these worlds are in the near future some advanced technology. And at some point both of these worlds would be able to enter each other timelines and starting a war which will end up leading to both of their world’s destructions. However, the other world which is
...
never focused upon is shown to semi desolate following a world war that destroyed much of Japan and left Tooru’s group having to struggle to find food. So the question rises in a world where the average citizen struggles to even get food how do you have the technology and resources to build a machine as advanced as a time machine. Secondly, everything to do the timekeepers. If both of the worlds that hosted the timekeepers are now gone how do they exist and also if by effecting how the past becomes future how are they not effected.
So the story is hopelessly confusing and devoid of really any acceptable explanation and using the excuse because time travel is not enough. Also this story is only told by one side of an obvious two sided story which brings up even more confusion when the two worlds clash. There was so much information put into just 12 small episodes, though extending to 24 would have not helped either.
Once again this is the main reason Gen Urobuchi is losing his touch. He used to be known to develop remembering characters and dialogue that brought out the deepest emotions of these characters. However, no character feels special at all. They have a single minded attitude with almost no changes and at most one quirk. Also the most obvious downfall of having all these characters is they become nameless, and when we don’t know their names little emotion is attached to them. And with Urobuchi’s famous reputation as the Urobutcher there will be death. And that’s his biggest failing, before when he had a character die you would almost cry as you felt with that characters through their hardships and struggles. But during this show you saw people die and the only thought was “what’s his name again?”
There was nothing special or spectacular. Though the ED was a nice piece by GARNiDELiA
There were times that I felt like this should have come out in the early 2000s with some of the crappy animation that was shown. The backgrounds were all blurry and barely had attempt to make them look 3D. Even in the first half of the season the characters designers were never solid always ugly. Yes it got better during the fight scenes but that is still no excuses for absolute crap.
I watched it, why? Well I wish you could tell me.

This was easily the most frustrating anime I’ve ever watched. From terrible characters to a haphazard story it never showed any signs of being any good. It’s becoming a sad world where you find more of these idiotic attempts at making quick money cause of boobs than people actually putting effort into making a memorable story.
Story: 5/10
The story premise is actually kind of interesting. It’s the true highlight of the show and if left to its own devices could have generated a very likeable anime. However the story is way to wavy and it’s the lulls they really drag down the story as they are
...
much more frequent and take up way to much of the time. If the more important parts of the story were allowed to be viewed at much more length while taking out unnecessary leisure bits it would of been much more balanced. Instead more time is invested into deciding who likes Moraho more.
Characters: 1/10
It’s really hard to choose the best boobs I mean character. The person in charge of character design was handed a promising story and said “wait, we don’t have enough big boobed bitches in this story, let me add around 20 more.” And thanks to all these girls, the anime was ruined. Now I can’t blame every girl but most of them are just there to be annoying and provide fanservice. We’ll look at the main culprit, the newly named pink haired bitch, because I don’t even want to remember her name, and thank her for making it that difficult of a time. All of the melodrama came from her be it her trying to be the best sister, this one would be cringcest, or just trying to help and utterly failing. I once joked around with a friend that if they killed her off in the first four episodes I would give this show a 10/10. The only other girls of the main harem; Urushibara, and Elena and even to an extent Angela are the only girls that actually helped move the story along. Every other girl you meet except for some girls during the Russian arc are pure fanservice and become utter turn offs.
So rant over on the failed girls, how did the main male do? Well he actually was a very solid character. Bit of a cliché as the standard hero, always protecting something and awkward with the girls. Yet he’s also very quiet and is quick to become deathly serious when need be. He also stands firmly beside his morales and friends willing to take on all punishment. If this anime just centered around him it could have been so much better.
Art: 6/10
It’s not the most beautiful anime of the season, but it’s definitely not the worst. You can easily see a lot of sharpness and colour in the characters themselves. However it just achieves what I would say is standard quality for today’s anime.
Sound 8/10
I actually liked the music. It was the one part of the anime that could not be mucked up by the fanservice characters. Many strong sounding tracks that helped build up scenes. The piano version of the main theme became a very memorable piece, despite what the characters would normally act like, the moment this song played everything would just slowly calm down.
Enjoyment: 2/10
I had mix feelings on this anime. While the story could prove very interesting, the producers constantly had to force in the ecchi/harem aspects so that we might never enjoy the actual story. If they could of even toned back some of the characters it could have proved to be a fun watch.

Sore no Method – “That’s what I’m here for, to grant your wishes”. A simple and innocent story of a girl just trying to reconnect with all her friends so that they may all smile together again. Except it is much more than just a friendly story. It moves you in ways that you cannot explain. Emotions swell within you yet, these emotions cannot be distinguished from happy and sad. It becomes hard to differiate between heartbreak and heartwarming, or that the tears upon your cheeks are from joy or sorrow. Sora no Method takes all of these feelings and blends them together into the
...
happiest sad anime of the year.
Story – 7
Nonoka is returning to her hometown after being in Tokyo for seven years. Although the town itself hasn’t changed much the attitudes and tourists have, because now there is a giant saucer hovering right over the middle of the lake. As Nonoka starts her new life she goes back to school. Luckily she ends up in the same class as most of her childhood friends unfortunately, she forgot about them after being gone for so long leading to some of them becoming mad at Nonoka for forgetting them. Later as she returns home to start unpacking more of her belongings she finds Noel looking through the items, and in Noel’s hands is a picture of Nonoka’s late mother with its glass covering broken. Infuriated at the thought that Noel broke this picture she yells at Noel to leave, its not until her father returns and tells her that the picture was already broken while moving that Nonoka realizes the mistake she had made. As she desperately searches around the town for Noel she remembers a promise she made to Noel before she moved away. Nonoka then runs to the abandoned observatory, there she finds Noel and apologizes. Only to have Noel say it was ok and that after Nonoka fulfilled Noel’s wish of her returning, that it was her turn to make Nonoka’s wish come true.
The story can easily be described with two words: melodramatic and moving. There are tons of forced drama in the first few episodes with everyone but one of her ex-friends holding a grudge. Slowly yet surely Nonoka with the help of the ultra-cute Noel becomes friends with almost everyone. And that basically ends most of the forced drama. The last few episodes are beyond moving. The story has such a beautiful meaning and delivery no one cannot help but feel their heart getting pulled upon, and for a few tears of both joy and sorrow roll down their cheeks. With a final ending that will just melt your soul.
Characters – 7
Nonoka only wants to be with friends again. She is a slight tragic character in the beginning with everyone blaming her for the saucer that came and changed their lives. Through it all though Nonoka never breaks, she does get beaten back especially when trying to sway Shione to forgive her. Luckily she is always helped by the wonderfully adorable Noel. And to get it out of the way: Noel is the most adorable character this season. Now I’m sure you’ve heard others call her that too and think she’s just become an overhyped loli who does a few cute things but nothing more. Instead Noel is one of the most dynamic characters of the story. Always working hard to bring everyone together with a smile, and while all the other characters might break down and cry Noel never once stops smiling. It’s unfortunate that the other characters, apart from Shione who only comes into herself in the final moments of the season, are somewhat bland compared to the developments that Nonoka and Noel go through. But that still makes them solid characters while not as important or entertaining each can easily hold their own throughout the story and all make important contributions.
For the most part Koharu never holds any grudges against anyone, and actually blaming herself for the falling out of Yuzuki and her brother Souta before the events of the story. She never makes a large impact on the story but constantly keeps pushing everyone to be friends. The Mizusaka twins, Yuzuki and Souta, are two very different characters. Yuzuki is very active in both fending off Nonoka’s early attempts at befriending her, but then adamantly trying to sway Shione into becoming friends once again. While her brother Souta really is not much of a character as he stays in the background making sure the girls don’t hurt themselves. Shione is actually a difficult character to describe as she is almost two faced. She refuses to talk to Nonoka and even threatens her at points, but at the same time acting like a big sister to Noel. This relationship goes until the very end of the series and because of key spoilers I won’t discuss the matter to that point.
Art/Animation – 9
It’s stunning. A very simple yet elegant art style perfectly matches the innocence of the characters and story. Beautiful background shots are used everywhere. The animation looks exceedingly good whenever they put they use the saucer as something to draw on. Also the final scenes are so beautiful and smooth the art itself was one of the reasons that it evoked so much emotion.
Sound – 8
Simple and innocent, the ever going theme to describe this anime. While they can’t stand out from the anime itself the beautiful background music enhances every key moment and just makes you smile. The OP and ED are very cute sounding and some of my favourite’s of the season.
Enjoyment – 8
The anime easily had its ups and downs. Over the course of the season it was unfortunate that this show was one of the first I would “save” until next week to watch. Until the final few episodes it was a basic slice of life, yes we saw an over-arching story and really good characters. But nothing made me think “You know I really need to watch Sora no Method this week” and it is just that unfortunate that is what the genre has us do. Now luckily what happened is that I pushed it back so much that I ending up marathoning the final four episodes which is actually something that needs to be done. Because it is these four episodes that everything comes to light, everything comes together, and everyone smiles.
Overall – 7.93

Yuuki Yuuna wa Yuusha de Aru – “You’re likely to succeed if you try” Many have claimed it is just a Madoka copy, and yes the character designs are Madoka based. That I can’t refute when Yuuki looks exactly like Madoka and Fuu looks very much like Mami. But once you start to watch the story and understand what is going on, Yuuki Yuuna is its own story, with its own characters, and its own beauty.
Story – 8/10
In an alternate world everyone worships a divine being known as the Shinju. The Hero Club is a small group of four girls who
...
do random tasks to help others, when suddenly they get transported to another world in which they have now been tasked with protecting the Shinju from twelve “Vertexes” that will try and destroy it.
As we follow them through their struggles the story, despite all the problems they are dealing with, always feels happy. As the girls fight Vertex after Vertex they do it with a smile. We also constantly look onto the lives the girls live each day when they are not battling. At times it can even fool us into thinking it’s just a normal slice of life and that everything will be ok. However the writers played it perfectly, lulling us into a sense of safety as we believed these girls would finish their tasks and we would see them succeed without consequence. An epic battle of the last remaining Vertexes at once and when they defeated they were done, they had done their task and succeeded. And then it happened. A dark turn into which no one saw coming, the heroes injured, each losing something vital in exchange for using the great power that come with using their “Mankai” and without a way to take back what was lost. The story grows ever darker as they try to discover why this is happening to them and to even discover the truth of the world.
Characters – 9/10
Happy and upbeat is something that can describe the first four members of the Hero Club. Yuuki Yuuna is the eternally happy girl always looking out for her friends. She’s the one girl who even everything is against them will always smile. Because of the love of her friends she also tends to be the one more willingly to sacrifice herself in order to protect them. Mimori Togo has always been Yuuki’s best friend but she has always felt ashamed of herself for being a burden due to her confinement in a wheelchair. Her story is one of pain and resentment which is slightly lightened when she discovers that she too can fight beside her friends. After defeating the twelve Vertexes she is the first to research why the injuries cannot heal which ultimately will lead her to discovering the truth of the world. The Inubozaki sisters are always together, yet could hardly be any more different. The elder, Fuu, is the strong willed senior of the group and constantly watches over everyone most notably her sister. She is quick to anger and even when upon hearing that their injuries even tries to attack the Shinju is vengeance for her sister. Itsuki was the quite girl of the group, yet no less helpful than all the others. Her constant helpfulness and eagerness was always shown so brightly. Even when she **Spoiler** lost her voice she never stopped helping others and wishing others to get well themselves. **Spoiler over** The late comer to the group was Karin, self-described as the superior version to the current girls she was trained by the Taisha to combat the vertexes at all costs. She can be considered a tsundere as she slowly yet surely becomes dear friends with all the girls. She is the one girl who after the final battle of the twelve vertexes was uninjured as she was unable to find the opportunity to use her “Mankai”. This actually helps lead her to become closer to the girls as she feels great guilt in not helping more.
Art/Animation – 8/10
The main target of much of the controversy that this was just a Madoka copy. The art is entirely different when in the real world looking very beautiful and serene, but once inside the plains around the Shinju where they fight the world is entirely different with strange vines and roots everywhere and strange looking Vertexes to fight. The character design, which two are based off Madoka and Mami are very different and beautiful.
Sound – 9.5/10
Oh the music was memorizing. Almost hypnotic tracks of beautiful sounding music. However strangely enough the music except at times was never overly positive or overly negative. It remained neutral throughout almost serving as a reminder of the situation that during peak times that not everything is as it seems, yet also when everyone was in anguish and denial that it would soon become better. A rather memorable moment was actually the ending credits of episode 10 in which they forewent the instrumental background in favour of pure vocals, it sent chills down my spine and was so sad without the music in order to prepare us for the final episodes.
Enjoyment – 10/10
Few anime this year have moved me in the way that Yuuki Yuuna has. A perfect combination of happiness and sadness. A story showing both times of joy, and times of anguish. Characters being ever proud, and ever doubting. It balances every aspect on such a fine thread, yet never slips. And in that perfect harmony of light and dark, Yuuki Yuuna wa Yuusha de Aru shows its true beauty.
Total Score – 9.14/10

Ore, Twintails ni Narimasu – The anime of all the fetishes, there is no doubting that Twintails is one of the weirdest shows to come out this year. Many cringe worthy moments of absolute stupidity that will turn away people with a sound mind. Yet because of its “originality” it was one of the most fun watches of the season.
Story – 7/10
Despite being utterly ridiculous the story is still good. There are no obvious plot holes and progression and development flow so smoothly, truly never a dull moment. But that does not mean it is spectacular, it’s actually pretty cliché. New enemy pops up every
...
episode and they defeat it while getting just a bit stronger all the time. It’s really in the amazing characters that this anime succeeds.
Characters – 10/10
Everyone is fantastic. Firstly, just because a characters is over-the-top strange does not make it a bad character. Actually for this anime if we met a normal person, they would be the weird one. Now let’s start looking at the TwinTails. Red/Souji is your typical weird high school guy with a strange fetish and a childhood friend who loves him but is too dense to notice it. Soji is always fighting for a cause and defends it to the end, even if said cause is a hairstyle. Blue/Aika is the cliché childhood friend in the beginning, but after joining up and becoming TailBlue becomes her own character entirely. Initially she acts normal enough, going along with Souji because she likes him. It’s only when she meets Tweorle that her personality of being quick to anger comes into light. Special note: Sure fire way of getting killed is to call her flat chested. Yellow/Erina, no weird fetish anime would be complete without a seemingly innocent character actually becoming a lecherous beast who would do anything her master commands now would it? Tweorle is the team leader of sorts as she gave them the ability to become the TwinTails and leads from her hidden HQs that are built overnight. Despite being a constant thorn into Aika’s side she cares about all the TwinTails and does her best to help from afar.
This is one of the anime that I will give special notice to the once an episode enemies. As not only do they do a fantastic job of being weird, special shout-out to guy with a back of neck fetish and Spider/Aracnhe guildy for his girlyman fetish, but most of the character progression is caused by their dying words.
Art/Animation – 8/10
Very beautifully done. The fight scenes were actually very intensive, instead of just seeing the usual of one character moving round and fighting we get to the huge battle and only close in on special dialogue is being used.
Sound – 10/10
Perfect voice actors for the parts, and an even added bonus for most of the dialogue being so weird and yet the actors being all too serious sounding. The music is very powerful and very good. Most of the tracks are in perfectly accompany the scene they were used in.
Enjoyment – 10/10
Completely loved this anime and its ungodly levels of weirdness. Even when I became too busy studying during school and skipped other shows I made sure to watch this the moment it came out. Easily one of my top 3 of the season, as it’s just the perfect anime to just watch and laugh.

Zankyou no Terror – “Are you going to destroy the world?” Terrorism and extremism are now used almost one in the same as many believe it is only extremists who can be terrorists. That their only goal is pure destruction of society and it doesn’t matter what it takes and many lives it takes. So what happens when terrorists are highly calculating teenagers who will only set off bombs when there is no chance of a causality occurring?
Story: 7
Lisa is constantly bullied at school and has an overly obsessive mother, so when one day two new students show up and one of them starts
...
talking with her. Later she goes to mall where she runs into the boy again who gives her a present. After crying herself asleep in the bathroom she awakens to the fire alarms going off. Suddenly she gets a call from that boy, saying that she has two choices. Either help them bomb the building, or die.
The developments keep us on the edge of our seats, just as any good thriller should. The riddles given to help the police are interesting, if albeit confusing for those without an extensive knowledge of Greek mythology. The whole story line really cannot be predicted as one would really need to get into the complex minds of Sphinx to figure out what the next plan is. But as Sphinx plays cat and mouse games with the police we start seeing an ongoing theme. That Sphinx will soon either be found out or tell the great secret they are hiding. Unfortunately most of this great build up is almost thrown out the window the moment Five shows up. Gone were the riddles, gone was the development as to why Sphinx was doing all of this. All for the pure reason of showing more explosions are creating more drama. These developments left the real reason for the bombings to only be discovered by a side character. And when the reasons finally did come to light they leave almost no time for a proper explanation of Sphinx’s actions.
Characters: 7
Sphinx, the terrorist duo who has captivated the attention of Tokyo as they await where they will strike next. They escaped from a research laboratory after setting part of it on fire and have since been on the run, all the while holding a strong hatred towards the government and others who worked with the laboratory. Nine is the mastermind behind Sphinx and thinks of the plans and how best to execute them. He is very cold and calculating leaving nothing to chance. Despite being shown as devoid of emotion he cares for Twelve as a brother, but states he would kill Lisa without a second thought if she gets in his way. Twelve is the “comedian” of the group, surprising really since his job is deliver the bombs that could potentially kill hundreds of people he is very light hearted and constantly making jokes and laughing, much at Nine’s expense. Unfortunately neither really develop into anything other than Twelve falling in love with Lisa.
After being recruited as an accomplice Lisa stays with the duo as she too wants to destroy the world. Lisa very much draws those that want the current world to burn to ashes, who are bullied every day, and have a horrible family life, and having no one to turn to. She constantly wants to help, but in the end usually causes the duo to rescue her. She becomes accepted near the end but isn’t till the very end that we see her change.
The detectives could of a better developed group of characters, but only Shibazaki gets the attention needed to make great character. He quickly starts to understand the riddles given to the police and soon takes the case very personally. Unfortunately as Five is introduced the fighting between him and Sphinx come to an end as he is tasked with finding why they causing all this chaos.
No terrorism show would be complete without a visit from the Americans. And the moment they get involved it escalates at an insane pace. The taskforce is headed by Five, another child from the laboratory. In order to fulfill a personal grudge she constantly engages in her own outlandish, and deadly, acts of terrorism as she knows fully well that Sphinx will stop her. By far one of the most insane characters I’ve seen. I kept asking myself would the American government actually permit an agent to potentially kill hundreds of people just to settle a grudge? The answer is no. Her character only adds drama and when the show comes to a close, she had no effect whatsoever
Art/Animation: 9
The art is shockingly good coming from a brand new studio. A lasting characteristic of anime is the big eyes and unrealistic faces. However we are starting to see a trend in creating more realistic characters so that we have a chance to relate to someone who looks like us. So the characters in this anime look very real. The looks add weight as we are more likely to take them seriously when we see the icy stare of Nine or the psychotic smile of Twelve. Apart from amazing characters the whole animation was beautifully smooth giving the explosions and collapses an almost “beautiful” look.
Sound: 8
Kanno Yoko once again reminds us just has amazing she is. She took control of every part of the music you hear and she did an absolutely astonishing job. The OP and ED just run chills down your spine as they give a sinister vibe that can’t be matched. The OST is also very amazing with all the songs fitting the whole atmosphere of the anime. The voice actors were also very good, though I do hate how they have to have the worst “Engrish” speakers ever.
Enjoyment: 7
The whole anime is very original, and since studio MAPPA was able to bring in most of the staff from the legendary Cowboy Bepop, the hype only increased. And I can honestly say they met the standards of that hype. It’s depressing when a hyped show falls short of what it could or should have been, just look at both Sword Art online seasons. I always say that whenever anyone makes anything they always strive for perfection, and Zankyou no Terror was close to touching. Yes they made mistakes here and there, the story could have flowed together more, and the characters could of more development. Yet despite minor fallbacks the show as a whole is something everyone will quickly agree as the best of the season. “Remember us, Remember that we lived” Don’t worry Sphinx, we will remember.

“All that glitters is not gold” Glasslip was an anime that had tons of promise to be a nice and fun watch. And seeing that the same Studio produced Nagi no Asakura earlier this year we were expecting the same if not better. So what went wrong?
Story:
The story revolves around a group of five friends who are on summer break before their last year at school. At one of the festivals Touko keeps seeing a strange guy around town but is too shy to say anything about it. The next day while she is at the café with her friends the strange guy shows
...
up and introduces himself as Okikura. He later tells Touko that she has the ability to see glimpses of the future while he can listen to what is said.
It’s a very interesting set up, pairing the supernatural into a slice of life. It adds originality to a show which can be compared to the countless others. However, the future predictions in the show carry almost no weight. There’s no consequences for peering into the future and the predictions themselves are not important, Touko once foresaw her friend sitting in a hospital because she had an appointment. The story is really only driven by the side stories of the supporting characters and even then their stories rarely effect anyone else.
Characters:
When the plot is highly dependent on the characters there is no excuse to have bad characters. Instead the characters have to be constantly changing and maturing to the occasion and react to drama. Instead Glasslip relies solely on its characters to deliver unnecessary drama and not one decides to try to learn from their mistakes and move on.
Okikura is easily one of my most hated characters ever. With an over-the-top arrogant attitude coupled with a sympathetic backstory there no way to relate. He comes in as the new kid who is now going to live with his father in a tent outside. From there he quickly tries to show dominance over Touko by constantly taking her away from friends to talk to her about her ability to see the future. He is the sole cause of almost all the drama in the show with all but Touko and Hiro disliking him.
And the girl that everyone is fighting over is the clueless Touko. She is very kind and always wants to help, unfortunately she also tends to be clueless, and not understanding what is going on until it is over. Her “power” as I’ll call it is the ability to see images of the future, but they are not descriptive enough to accurately predict the future.
The rest of the characters operate in their own world most of the time, in fact the whole group really only gets together once after the opening scenes. And with them driving a huge amount of the story, the fact that their stories really go nowhere, with nothing gained or lost is frankly an insult.
Art:
After the first five seconds of watching this I thought, wow, this is a beautiful anime. And it kept up its beauty with breathtaking background shots and amazing lighting. The character design is simple yet very beautiful with special attention towards the eyes to show all the pent up emotion that will occur.
Sound:
The music, while being utterly beautiful and I could listen to it outside the anime is too powerful. What I mean is that they will take a normal conversation and then put a very loud and overly dramatic score and it just kills the mood. I found myself laughing about how dramatic they were making it sound when all the characters were doing was texting. The OP is fantastic though, it puts you into a happy mood ready for a gentle show to watch.
Enjoyment:
Despite me actually looking very much forward to this anime it quickly became a chore to watch. I kept with it thinking that something will get better, maybe a proper romance occurs, the foreseeing the future gets more accurate and has meaning, or even the characters would mature. Instead I just got bored and tended to sometimes just have it as background noise.

Trinity Seven is a huge breath of fresh air. Most harems have a hopelessly weak and overly oblivious who is dumber than a scarecrow but somehow managed to get these girls loving him (personally if I were a girl and he was this dense I'd give up) And when you mix in ecchi all it is the girls have amazing figures and the guy being to scared/shy to even look at em. Arata is completely different. He is the strongest character in the harem and he formed the harem instead of the harem forming around him. He also is completely aware of their feelings and
...
will sometimes use those to his advantage. He's also not scared to talk about their bodies and will talk about them while meaning every word of what he wants to do.
The story is pretty original and goes through a nice pace while establishing what needs to be done going on missions. Really no lag time at all and always bit of action every chapter.
I can't say I'm an art critic because to me most magnas look very similar though with a tiny bit more detail than others I'd have to say its very pretty to read.
The characters are really the thing that makes this. As most harems you can have the best story line in the history of the universe, but once you put in some hopeless characters it flops. Even though this harem has more girls than any that I remember seeing they each are completely different and important in their own right. We're also going through an arc that reveals a very heavy past about 2 of the main girls and I suspect they'll do this with the others until everyone has a nice back story. And since everyone usually chooses their favourite girl mines is Liese.
So overall this is a very rare harem that is completely good. There are no lacking characters who just make you want to shoot yourself (Ichika, early Tsukune). And with it only be at an early point (37 chapters at this review) I can see this becoming even better and more popular with every new release.
