Juuou Mujin no Fafnir

Imagine being stuffed into a crate and sent to an island of cute anime girls. Alright the cute girls part doesn't sound so bad but that's really the only likeable quality of Juuou Mujin no Fafnir. I tried grasping at straws but this anime for is something I cant really recommend for fans of any genre... Do you like action? Well they do have cool lasers and explosions but the thing is everyone almost the same move over and over again and it gets stale fast, spear shoots yellow beam, bow shoots blue beam, etc. They can call it different moves (which in of itself ... is rare) but the way its executed is exactly the same. The exception is the MC which hard carries the ladies, the only way they were able to take down a leviathan was with his direct intervention of either his pistol or the dobonhonkeros sized cannon he can summon. The whole formula for fights is Yuu puts enemy at disadvantage (either floating or seriously wounded) then the girls go in to perform an all out RGB colored attack. Yes technically the last fight Yuu was not present but it still followed the barebones formula, just replace the MC with a bomb. Into character interactions? Well there is a bit of drama here but most of the characters are one note. Now there is nothing wrong with playing their respective roles but aside from his imoutou and bridal loli they don't interact with Yuu unless he saves something or directly assists the girls. Like the previous example there are rare exceptions but they are also variants of that formula unless you are quite literally the antagonist. Also everyone loves Yuu, even the bad guys even the lesbians (to be fair that's less love interest and more skirt chasing partner in crime but that doesn't stop her from tasting his hand with her tongue) Speaking of skirt chasing the horni folks surely have something to take home right? Well yes but actually no, most of the fanservice is relatively tame. For a harem genre you pervs get no panties, one obligatory hot spring episode, another obligatory beach episode, a few misunderstandings that follow the same formula as the very first episode curtsy of Yuu and Iris. As a desperation gambit ill throw in art and sound as a ""genre"" (well some people do look for it) but its all for naught, again the special effects are heavily recycled laser blasts used again and again, the CGI for the leviathans was choppy (The turtle's leg movements on the salt platform look like an ATAT in the worst ways) but I guess it succeeds in making the leviathans look alien. The sound is also sadly recycled often, now being a fan of moe high pitched voices doesn't bother me all that much (I'm used to it) but the incessant screaming of a few of the characters may bother others as it annoyed me a bit. Maybe there is something I missed, or its me scrutinizing the anime a bit unfairly.Do check out other reviews as well but as of now I cant with good heart recommend this be watched.
