The quality was pretty nice. The character placement seems to be all over the place though. Understand the girls were 'acting' for a bit but man, they just change personalities like every other scene.

Shakes fist at beam of light. Does this have a AT-X?

edit: Well does look like AT-X has it too but dunno if they'll uncensor it. Do hope so, even if minor, would prefer no censor at all.

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

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.

I knew of that but considering IMS' reputation it'll still be nothing above what you'd find in Fairy tail thats what kind of company IMS has been for as long as I know.

I've read the manga prior to watching this. As expected the opening scenes are dull and boring as fuck until Mio and Maria reveal themselves to Basara. Production quality also went up by a grain during the later scenes. I also like the OP, both music and visuals.

Let's hope Production IMS finally redeem themselves with this one. Based on the episode preview title, I'm definitely looking forward to it.


I'm with you lets hope IMS don''t ruin this series with there over censorship they tend to do, but I suppose as the guy I replied to before said there is that Announcement so if IMS is ever going to get it together it will be now.

Hee.. not bad. It's as generic as any ecchi and after the first half I almost dropped it due to the father leaving (typical overused trope) but it turned out that the father is also involved.

Hopefully this'll be as good as DxD (it might have been a good appetizer for DxD 3rd season)/

Were there really people complaining about the ass being censored?

Are you fucking new to the ecchi anime genre? They censor everything. For god sakes, they even censored panties in the TV broadcast of Date A Live. If not seeing 1/10 of a bare ass is too much for you, go watch some hentai.

Well call it generic, but as IZEROII said: "there's only so much you can do in this genre". If it bothers you that much you shouldn't be watching it in the first place. If everything is too generic for you, go watch one season of HSDxD then never touch an ecchi harem show again.

Literally everyone who comments anything like "another generic" or "mediocre crap" shouldn't be watching this show to begin with. You knew EXACTLY what type of show it was going to be before it started. You have ZERO right to complain.

As for this episode, it basically blew Absolute Duo out of the water. Better art. Better video quality. Better subs. Better animation. Better pace.

I found it a bit weird where they put the OP in this first ep. Like it's not unusual for a show to have the first episode use the OP at the end, but here they put it at the "end" but the show still ran for like 6 minutes afterwards. AND they still used the ED at the real end. As long as it doesn't pull a World Trigger though I'll be fine.


...Did not expect that loli to be so perverted and lewd. I think I like her. Idk if she can break my "tits triumphs all" rule though.

I'm pretty sure it will be censored aswell, always when a show start censored on a public tv channnel the pay for view follow the same route, different if the show started directly in the pay tv channel.

Absolute Duo is what i'm talking about, is not censored at all because it air directly on At-X, another example was Seikoku no Dragonar.

Btw, is not bad as a first episode, but i like demons after all. :D

Alright here's my actual episode review

I don't give a flying fuck what anyone else says: This was some grade A material right here (when it comes to harem standards). Let's take a took at this:

First off, it starts off nicely with the introduction of the characters. Right off the bat I see that the MC is actually a little different from the pack. Instead of standing in the doorway stunned and then waiting for the baka slap, he went in covered her mouth was like, "BITCH! This was a misunderstanding!" Of course I'm paraphrasing here but you get the point. Then we have the redhead coming in and humping him in the morning! Yessir! This is a fanservice show, so you know what, I should expect fanservice. Now, there's a lot of different ways of executing fanservice; some are good and some are bad..... I'd this was an example of a good one and that goes for all the fanservice moments in the episode. Mainly because the anime didn't make it seem like the fanservice situations were completely out of the ordinary, it made it seem almost natural in the scene. The MC was nervous, but he wasn't freaking out and the redhead was being a tease. Good stuff. I think I just like the reactions of the characters in the fanservice scenes more than anything.

Then the white haired chick was great. Sexual deviant! I love it! She was awesome. Getting the Step Sister hentai game was hilarious.

And then, we had the part with the thugs harassing the redhead. MC was great there and then we got to see some genuine emotion from the redhead. I thought that bike scene was nice.

AND then the dad leaves and right away I was like, "Dammit, we're having on of these plots?" Especially because I liked the dad a lot, I didn't want to see him leave so soon. He's also he's voiced by Leorio's voice actor (I think) so that helps too. And then the girls reveal they're demons which was pretty sweet and I thought there was going to be some bullshit like, "Oh! My magic doesn't work on him because he's an ultra special being and he doesn't know about it! Let's take him in!" But nope! He was undercover the whole time and was part of the Hero clan! Hell yes! He was badass there. Then he tells them to get the hell out.

AND THEN we learn the dad and him are part of the hero clan and that the dad set this whole thing up to keep watch of the redhead. Good shit! All of the stuff that happened to the redhead actually sounded interesting and got me excited for the plot.

AND THEN a battle sequence goes on and the MC ends up the saving the redhead and they have a nice family moment that was actually kind of touching.

This anime has played all its cards right and has done a lot of good things so far. I hope it holds its momentual throughout the whole thing. Give me interesting characters, a plot that I can actually care about, and good fanservice and I'll be a happy camper. The first episode did that for me and I hope it continues.

Wow. This definitely exceeded any expectations I had for this anime. At first I thought this was just some average incest, slice of life anime and then the second half happened!

And yes, like others have said, this also reminds me a little of shows like High school DxD or Date a Live for some reason.

As expected form Production IMS; a standard animation and art design, and jarring scenes from the 1st half of the episode. It was pretty boring tbh, up until the 2nd half where things got me interested.

Nothing that special, pretty generic if you asked me. Though the MC looked OP, and the actions are pretty cool tbh.

OMG I just realized I didn't watch half the episode because I thought the op? or ed that was played in the middle of the episode made me think it was over

Edit: Upon watching the rest of the episode, even more DxD vibes, but I like the MC more than Issei, at least so far anyway.

I thought Mio was a tsundere. If she was, this is gonna be so generic. I thought Maria was gonna be the shy type. Oh well.
Basara is a hero and he and his father came from the hero village. Unexpectedly, he encountered the Demon Lord's heiress. Some familiar things are rushing through my head while watching this. Sigh.

I thought that the MC would be the idiotically dense type. At least, that part was alright. I won't expect anything more than what it is to be expected.

Starting out I was getting bored watching the first episode, but then we found out they were demons. I was hoping this isn't going to try to turn into High School DxD. However, plot twist the boy is actually a hero from a hero clan and that made this anime awesome and watchable.

Great episode!!!

Generic start like everyone says, but I've decided I'll probably only watch 1 harem per season, Absolute Duo has been dropped as it was boring as hell and barely even funny. This is definitely better and seems to lack a school element(or as much of a school element) like Duo.

And the MC in this is way better than Duo, that helps.

Because comparing art from a Light Novel to an animated show is completely logical right? I usually ignore some of the stupid things you say, but this one I couldn't. Think before you speak.

But that's how it is, LN art is superior, anime designs look average. Also, even ATX censored partially uncovered ass so it will be much worse as ecchi scenes escalate.

.......................................... I'm not so sure what to think of this.

The opening animation had me doing the Jenna Marbles face. And this had just so many cliches. A hero, devils, mystical magical powers.

The hero back-story was also sloppily written into this episode.

For now, this show is staying in my dropped pile. Maybe I'll pick it back up if people convince me otherwise.

If I've got this straight,
Father takes in two girls
One of them is a demon lord
Demon lord girl's father was a good demon who wanted a truce
Other demons don't want that
They kill him
Demon girl is sent off to be raised by villagers
Demon lord gets attacked by other demons who want her power she's inherited
MC has to protect her smile
ecchi hyjinks ensure.

this was as blatently ecchi as it can get.

there was nothing special filled with cliches but for some reason i still enjoyed it.

art is pretty high quality, style of the op is prety cool if that in the middle of the ep was the op.


so far pretty fun. guess it will depend on how the censorship is, hate it

So... people may get the wrong idea, but by very definition this show cannot be "generic". Well I don't want to spoil too much, but unless all of those scenes are completely cut out and/or censored, then you should expect a borderline-H series.

Well it should become evident in EP2, so look forward to it or not.

Not gonna lie but I totally thought this was just going to be a pure harem anime since I have never heard of this show or read the manga before. The whole PC game thing was hilarious. Then it went and did a 360 on me and all of a sudden threw demon lords and heroes into the mix and that there was a whole village of heroes and stuff like that. I won't say its that good just yet but it is definitely off to a good start!

First episode followed the manga plot pretty well.
However, half the animation felt really hentai-ish, which didn't help the plot much...

I need to throw it out there, but did anyone beside me feel like the animation for this show was a little bit er.... "choppy"? I'm not saying start-stop bad, but that character movement and speech movements weren't as smooth as they would be when compared with other similar shows? For most of the show I was left wondering whether it was my browser screwing up or something (when everything else was running smoothly).

Oh well, I enjoyed the manga and will probably enjoy this show.
Bring on next episode!
