Story: 5
Well, the story, nothing special, but not too bad. Mediocre is the perfect word to describe it. I'm not going to go too in depth with it, but I had high hopes upon reading about an overpowered person who comes back to a family who disowned him. To me, sounded pretty good, so I gave it ago. A few flaws. Earliest flaw I noticed was the fights, which might just be me, but the fights either took three quarters of the episode or thirty seconds. Now, I don't like fights where it takes a long time, but I certainly don't like thirty second over-hyped moments. The second flaw I noticed with the story is that later in the story, which may be a spoiler, is that when Kazuma goes hatred mode and is suppose to get more powerful, which they showcase well, as soon as Ayano interferes, Kazuma is super weak. I just... I just don't get it. Alright, spoiler over. There were a few more minor flaws I had with the story, but they weren't necessary to add.
Art: 4
I'm not exactly sure how to rate the art, but compared to earlier ones it was mediocre. The reason it's a four and not five is because the fanservice they tried to add was a miserable failure. There's really no other way to put it. They had quite a bit of pantsu shots, and I don't mind fanservice. As a male, I even encourage it. Just kidding, for the most part. But the problem with this particular fanservice was that the panties were just kind of like... there. I don't think I am allowed to post links here, so I won't, but the panties didn't have any... what's the word, I guess, depth. The creators could have just added another line in the middle to make it slightly arousing, but no, nope, nah. The other thing that bothered me about Ayano was her clothes. I think she's seen once out of her generic school uniform.
Sound: 5
Personally I didn't like the opening, or the outro, which both sounded as generic as the characters, but it's really just an opinion, I guess.
Character: 5
You know, this was one of the most "okay" things of the show. Like, generic overpowered main character? Alright. Generic tsundere? Hm, okay. But then there was one that brought back trauma to me specifically. That character was Ren. What trauma, you may ask? Only the scariest of scary. It was... Boku no Pico. I mean seriously, I was willing to sweep the fact that Ren looked almost identical to Pico under the rug. But no, f**king no, they had to make two, I repeat, TWO, scenes of Pico, I mean, Ren, massaging Juugo, which wouldn't have been too bad if it wasn't for him grunting and Ren straddling him and rubbing.
Enjoyment: 6
I enjoyed this show, with an exception, which I will discuss below. This show, again, I genuinely enjoyed it. There were moments of actual hype and whatnot. I did enjoy the romance, until it was super forced with that McDonald girl. Why give a character the last name McDonald when she eats in a WcDonald? She came from America? Is Japan getting at something here? Well, I'm getting off track, so I'll skip to the overall now.
Overall: 4
Now, if you've made it this far, you're probably wondering, why is the overall a four? I'll tell you why. The ending. If the ending wasn't so bad, I would easily give this overall a six. Let me tell you why the ending was so bad.
***SPOILERS BELOW***
Firstly, the ending battle, the giant shadow hole? A demon climbing out of it? A giant magic circle? Where have I seen this before? Secondly, the romance, one of the few things of this show that I really found good. I was hoping that they would kiss on the final episode. Did they? Nope. What did they do? F**king generic overpowered character summons a wind to push her hair back towards him. Could have been really cute, I guess. What does Kazuma do with Ayano's hair? He grabs it, and during this whole time Ayano is blushing like crazy, and smells her hair. And he gets into it, man. He goes f**king hardcore. He follows it up by a pat on Ayano's butt. Who says romance is dead? The closest thing they get in this show to a kiss is a lick on Ayano's face.
***SPOILERS ENDED***
Yeah, so, in needless to say, if you're bored and have the entire day to do nothing, watch it. Otherwise, go watch somethin' else.
