Obviously a lot of care went into the production, but for a narrative that seems like it's supposed to be character-driven, the characters are pretty barebones and its handling of them is a little too on-the-nose. At least the non-Rudeus children kinda act like children, but it doesn't help that we spend so much time with Eris, who is one of those classic vicious unlikable tsunderes. I get how she's supposed to be a foil to Rudeus, but functionally she's not a Lancer and instead just another mess for him to clean up. Also, this show is horny on main in a way that's kinda distracting, especially because it likes to gawk at lolis.
