To be frank, I had high expectations for the anime, the LN had a solid plot and was generally very enjoyable. Campione was an anime that I had looked forward to, but it has been a disappointment from the very first episode.
Story: The anime is rushed, horribly rushed. Cramming an entire volume of a LN into one episode results in the confusing mess that we see in episode 1. Understandably the animation would deviate from the LN, however the brutally mutilated storyline just makes me cringe.
Art: The art was superb, everything from the detailed spell insignias in battle scenes to the character
...
art were more than satisfactory. Although not as spectacular as say "Fate/Zero", there was little to find fault with in the art for Campione, the only thing I could find wrong was how derp Godou's face looks.
Sound: Both the music and SFX were well done, synergizing with the tone of each scenario.
Character: Yes, not everyone has been properly introduced, and it's too early to have a final verdict , but from the way things are heading, characterization is likely to be another victim of the horrible pacing of the adaptation. The rapid introduction of one heroine after another without any significant effort to develop each character as we have seen in the first two episodes is likely to continue as the anime continues at the blistering pace it has set itself.
Enjoyment: The anime itself is very enjoyable and appeals to a wide range of audiences. Everything from the action and battles to the fanservice attributes to a very entertaining and fun anime to watch.
Overall: Although I was disappointed with it and it could have been potentially much better, Campione is by no means "bad". It is extremely fun to watch and an enjoyable experience and you will by no means regret watching it.
