How narrow minded you are. Not at all harem animes are like that.

They all look the same because you don't see the difference.

I see the difference but I just felt that the similarities are too uncanny.

You already know the typical harem elements. I know some harem animes that do not follow the infinite stratos route. In my opinion I just don't like it when it is always the usual.

Most harems like this one sure are, Infinite Stratos wasn't even a good harem a show for its own genre so idk why they are trying to copy it so much.

Really, Hayato should be relieved if Emile is actually a female.
Just look at Hayato's face when he was told Emile is a male for first time, in his head I think he might have felt really disturbed.

And during their practice match, Emile saying to Hayato he doesn't want to be stared.
That rather implies strongly Emile himself that he is really Ga.... for Hayato.

As far as I can see, I have not heard about a country where a male pushes down an another male to the ground and hug to greet a fellow student.

I know mal does not like harems that much , but got damn a 6.67 on the first episode? Usually something like this wouldn't get a score like that till it finished airing. I assumed this would get like a 7.30, then slowly go down in ratting each week...but

U guys are savage af. It's decent tbh.

Holy SHIT, that pussy was loose. Didn't even have the decency to give us the battle.

So far everything went as I predicted it.

Traumatic memories
Instant popularity
Intervention by sidekick/protagonist for leniency on others
Academy's "strongest" challenging the protagonist
Child(like) scientist
Samurai/sword configuration
Walking in on his new "roommate"
Obvious reverse trap
Sickly little sister

Jesus, I must be fucking psychic. The only thing good about this episode honestly was the decent closing of the the traumatic sequence. I'm quite sure we will never ever get into where these "savages" came from or even the actual part where they'll graduate and become more than just useless tropes in a school. Part of me is saying the most we'll get from the antagonist race is an interruption of the battle in which, Hayato (I'm surprised I remembered his name) will more or less fight the monster (almost) single highhandedly and be considered the de facto "best" because he's the main character.

That's simple: the vain hope that there may be something worthwhile and can be taken somewhat serious in an on-paper cliche. Or we don't have anything else to watch and sadly find ourselves letdown on the most base (basement dweller) needs.

Emile's confidence of challenging Clarie without holding anything back, knowing Hayato's talent he definitely trusts Hayato will become his personal strongest number 1 Anti-Savage warrior, his most trust-worthy strongest Slayer someday.

Hayato kissing on Karen's forehead, I have a bad feeling about this.
Of course not about Hayato, but Karen.

And this Hayato's trouble of his, it happened to be because of he aced the tests.
Hayato did good on his tests, and to be caught into this grave situation of being expelled because of to have fans because of his good score and Emile becoming a nice guy for Hayato's fans from Claire's harsh judgement.
But then again, this is actually Hayato's destiny, already started his harsh road of becoming the protector after all.

Emile might have his own females fans too later on.
His actions did helped those two female students in this episode after all.

About Claire, I wonder if her character is something like Akaba Reiji from Yugioh Arc-V.
Her toughness, being a Student Council President, to have a title to be called Queen.
Very powerful, however.
Knowing this series genre, I worry if Claire's image to people around her might be crumbled in a few episodes, including me.

I can appreciate IS for what it is. It is neither terrible or good, but it has its moments. Usually when Charlotte or Laura get a chance to shine. But in the end it suffers because Ichika is a horribly dense MC.

This is your typical harem/school/supernatural anime. Nothing new here. However, me personally, I find these type of anime quite entertaining and intriguing so I look forward to this anime, hoping that it won't disappoint as much as all the other ones of this genre.

As much as people brag about being unique. But in striving to be such we pretty much have a subconscious desire to be accepted by the whole.

I have a theory that a portion staff to these projects simply do this as a form of a cash cow in the hopes of it making their names visible and then, truly move on to their potential. For now they stick to what has been proven to being in cash. Like sitcoms in the 80s, talk shows in the 90s, and reality TVs shows now.

That was a bit of a cliche setting as usual.. sorry, a bit was an understatement.
Every time I watch this scene play out, it makes me wonder is dueling seriously the only way to go..?
The art and animation is of the better side, so I will look forward to see the action.
However, the mc is like a walking puppet.. that turns down my appetite.
Erhmm... are they blind or am I the only one seeing those chests.

I don't really care that this anime is your "typical harem action type". I'm fine with that.
The only thing I don't really like is always having the same ridiculous reason to have a duel. Just to show us how great the MC is !

Usually, the protagonist enters on the girl changing and DUEL. But don't worry in this anime everything is different ! The protagonist will not be expelled but two random girls and a trap girl will ! Because, you know, they arrived late to a MEETING !

In this world, only some people can use the Hundred. But don't worry, we can expel them if they are late for one second. Make sense.
So, out of nowhere, the Queen (the best fighter) say : "Let's have a duel in order to decide if they are expelled or not". The BEST FIGHTER is aking to DUEL someone who has still not received/or used its Hundred. Make sense.

I don't mind having a reason for an early fight but if the MC (with an afternoon of trainning) is already fighting the strongest person of the school in the second episode, what's left ?

(oh and don't worry the changing scene happens, of course)

(also, I don't really see why people are asking if Emile is a girl or a boy, it's obvious she is a girl... She has long hair, thin thights, boobs, asked to be called Emile (instead of Emie probably), embarassed when wearing a thight suit, using her towel to hide her chest...).

Hilarious how generic this is.

The only redeeming thing so far is there is multiple lolis.

Can't believe how bad it is of them trying to hide Emiles gender when it's so obvious, every ad image of the show shows her boobs and the character designs. Though I feel hiding her gender won't even be relevant after a few episodes.

That Intro reminds me of Black Bullet, only without a girl and old dude replaced with ninjas("hundred" users).

Why call those suits "Hundred"? Why not call it ten thousand? And change the activation command to "It's over 9000!!!"

Well, to be fair, your score every anime like this a 10/10, so why be surprised?

Why would you be surprised at liking something when you think 20% of all anime is 10/10 and like another 30% is 9/10?

The overall plot setting looks similar. On the other hand there are some original plot e.g. there is no MC-seeing-naked-girl situation and the duel isn't caused by it like in Gakusen Toshi Asterisk (this one sucks*) or Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry (this one is cool but not great). The school onboard the big ship is something new at least for me.

I will give this anime a shot. It may remain similar to Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry in terms of rating or go bad just like third season of High School DxD but at least it isn't dumb and full of plot holes like Asterisk War*.

*Sorry, if I offended any Asterisk fans.
