THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Pretty typical start tbh...

We get a lot of generic moments like this:


And that apron. The Mio girl almost looks like a housewife with Basara. Is it also just me or does Maria and Julie share the same type of hair...? Doesn't look like they wasted much time the action this episode though.

It sucks. Animation quality is nowhere near god-tier LN art and they even censor partially bare ass.


It will be worse when they reach this (nsfw) or this (nsfw) and definitely this shampoo bottle (nsfw).
So yeah. Better read LN/manga and "ENJOY" art there.

Basara is blushing too much. I remember him as more "manly" in both LN as well as manga...

Also the overall quality could be better...

@above One can always watch hentai if "enjoying art" is the priority... censorship is pretty normal with ecchi aired on TV. Anyways, that's what the Blu-Rays are for.

That was a cool opening, I really liked it (although it came at a weird time lol). I don't remember the opening bathroom scene ever occurring? Then again, it looks like a pure-anime fanservice scene.

This anime is going to be funny as hell

Lol, pretty typical stuff and the animation sucks. But it's been a while since I watched a mindless and generic harem/ecchi and now I'm pretty much in the mood for it so... will keep watching for the lulz.

I dare say another attempt to touch the glory that is TLR.

This how good harems start. I hope it turns out ok. Delicate balance after all with these kinds of shows. Scenes are what they are. Call them recycled. Call them generic. There are only so many things you can do in this genre so idk why one would be surprised. A show of this kind being good or not depends on the characters, the art, and those "generic" scenes. If you come to like the characters and their appeal then what is normally generic becomes exciting. The theme/plot enhances those points.

It isn't at the level (yet) of waiting for blu rays. Unlike like TLR series. I won't even watch that new Darkness season until BD since the holy light bars are too distracting.

The whole bathroom scene did happen, in volume 1's prologue.

Anyway, yeah, I could feel the quick pacing, far too fast. Then again, the entire first novel was pretty rushed to begin with, so there isn't much to say about that...

Still disappointed with Maria's VA choice. I wanted Railgun's Kuroko. :/

3/5

God damn, we just get SLAMMED in the face with EVERY GENERIC ANIME OPENING EVER. Bathroom scene, perverted little sister, sisters suddenly moving in, falling down scene, misunderstandings all around... holy crap.
But then, NOPE this is actually partially action and magic too! Superpowers for EVERYONE.
Wasn't terrible though.

It was a pretty good start.

Mio is like a housewife to Basara. A hero, a female demon lord and a demon girl living together.

I will read the LN soon.

First half was pretty craptastic, got a little cooler when he busted out the sword.

Well, it is what it is, will keep watching for a couple episodes if for nothing other than her boobs, but with censoring, even that might not be enough.

Haven't read anything about this series before so I'll just say: If the MC of this harem is - yet again - a weakling I think I'll drop the series...

Always disliked how Rito in TLR was such a... jeez....

TLR in a whole was Ok.

As it was stated above, the animation really sucks and everything looks pretty generic. It was an average first episode but since I'm a ecchi/harem enthusiast, I will probably keep watching for the time being. Mio is cute <3

I quite enjoyed reading the light novels however the animation...it was dreadful to say the least. The colours as well were rather light yet bland if that makes sense? I felt like everything was forced to be honest whereas reading the novel, it felt smooth and flowed well.

However we shall see how the next few episodes are, maybe it'll improve?

Ah yes, I forgot how cliche the start of this series was. I'm glad they didn't spend too much time with that and actually moved forward with the legit plot. Of course, we'll still get plenty of "plot" too. Here's to hope the anime strikes a good balance between actual plot and "plot!"

Don't worry, Basara definitely does carry his weight; he's far from weak.

Guys hate to burst your bubble but this is being done by Production IMS there won't be an uncensored version and they'll likely skip over all the really strong stuff like the grope sessions and the stuff bastek66 posted tbh i'll be surprised if they keep the contract spell as is and not make it something else

I weNt into this series with absolutely no knowledge of what is was about. Just part of my "I'll just watch everything and drop what I don't like. This one is killing me. The plot and action looks really interesting, but I dislike ecchi. Episode 2 will have to be the deciding factor.

Lol, they already announced it ahead of the airing that the Blu-rays will include scenes inappropriate for TV airing. Looks like we'll be getting them in Blu-rays anyway even if they skip them in the airings.

This was so bad.. the art/animation is worse than subpar, the plot is even more random than something I'd expect from a harem/ecchi, and its censored. Dropped. So far this season is a solid 0/10.

The fanservice doesn't bother me as much as the possible ways this can turn to shit. But for now a decent introductory episode. At least a feasible reason was given for why he should take in 2 random demons and protect them after they lied and attacked him.
