Welp, that turned out to be what I had expected although the OP song is surprisingly catchy.

It took less than 5 minutes for Lux to find Lisha in the baths just like the LN.
Except he is also in the women's bath with like some 20 other girls. Lux's voice has a girly-like tone to it, might have to get used to that.

Animation looks fluid though. Nope, I don't expect much from the show but the girls are adorable.

Action reminds me of IS style type of fighting. Inb4 BD removes the censors.

Jesus Christ, you can't get more generic than that lol. Tsundere girl falls for some random guy who saw her naked and said some sweet words. Also the fight was so damn bad :D Overall a pretty shitty anime, tho it has cute girls so I may keep watching ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )

It's nothing that hasn't been done umpteen times before but I do admit this is one of the LN's I've had my eye on for some time. I honestly enjoyed this first episode more than the LN adaptations from last season.

Lux is such a lucky sukebe :P
That said, I've got the LN on my phone and have been reading the manga for a while now. The story seems to be flying at breakneck speed though, and there really hasn't been much development with any of the characters like there was for the manga. World building thus far has also been quite minimal. You don't even get to see how popular Lux is with the general populace here, and I really cannot fault anyone who deems the girls generic, since they really haven't showcased any character in them all episode.

That said, there are plenty of flashbacks in the manga and probably in the LN as well, so I cannot wait to see how they jump around with that in the anime.

We'll see how this goes I guess. I cannot say I'm impressed at all.

Overly cliche harem with a terrible main.
The main was such an idiot it's no wonder he was overthrown in a coup really he reminds of of Ichika from Infinite Stupidity.

Gakusen S2 came early. Animations and art is decent. Guilty pleasure of the season, even if it's generic. It's literally Rakudai and Gakusen all over again :(. Still fun though.

To be honest I'm the only one that may be aware its going to be generic because I read one volume of the LN, and the spite of that it was way better than I thought in terms of enjoyment.

Also the CGI mechs looks fine, just disappointed in terms of the LN Illustrations.

Note: This is actually better than Infinite Stratos, because if you do know how's IS... Oh boy.

Well at least both the MC and the main girl seems to be a bit more honest with their feelings than usual so I guess that's one good thing

Not bad, I knew what to expect so I was pretty satisfied. Still enjoyed the old man's advice about what to say to girls.

Don't know how to feel about the VA's for the two former royalty. Would like Lux to be more calm and indifferent when in a Drag-Knight. The sister I was hoping for more of a Kirino-esk voice but without the tsundere.

The beginning sequence was the most interesting thing to me but other than that it's okay

I'm curious to find out about this Black Knight as well as whays the deal with Lux and his black sword plus why Lisha has that crest

Action was okay too I suppose, this kinda reminds me of IS in terms of how the fights are but dem bath scenes tho

Oh god... This episode was pretty brutal. For some reason, I think that thought that this was the once-mentioned spin-off of Rage of Bahamut: Gensis. I love my generic, mecha-action harems but even this one was a bit too generic for my "refined" tastes. I'll give it a couple more episodes to see if anything comes of it. At least the animation looked great!!

This is trash tier and don't get me started on Arcadia's voice.

Will watch 2 more eps to see if this shit gets any better.

MC sounds about 10 and add in a hyper tsundere and we have the generic harem of the season. May stick this out for a bit to see how bad this gets. oh and the OP is awful.

Imo it seems more interesting than Asterisk War, so I wouldn't call it "the second season of Asterisk".
I didn't expect this anime to be something original and unique, I just hoped it would be nice to watch in spite of being generic - and I must say I'm rather satisfied. The art is okay, the characters look pretty, and even tho this first ep isn't anything I've never seen before I still didn't get too bored while watching it.
The only thing I can complain about is MC's voice and personality. Especially the voice... but I guess I can get used to it.

Asterisk Vol.1-September 2012.
Rakudai-July 2013
Bahamut-August 2013.

Guy walks in on girl cliche-beginning of time.

Fucking hate all these fans that can spout nothing but "it's a clone of X anime." "generic=trash, originality=amazing."

Not adult enough, not deep plot enough...not alpha enough! Fuck Weaboos and Otakus!....but still i will watch it, because its free and i dont have anything to do with my time!

Its the same every season, but still this sort of animes are watched and bought by the most anime fans.
its mainstream like transformers or all marvel movies, its nothing great but still enjoyable

same, but also i'm interested in protagonist's past. I hoped that he has dark side or sth, but it looks like he just had a dark twin ;/ and yeah first ep is like copy of Rakudai.
Couldn't they give us at least one original thing?

Well that was....extremely rushed. Even someone who hasn't read the source materiel would know how rushed it was lol.

Overall, I don't know how to feel about it, the rushness really made the series really look forced and not very good.

I'll keep watching and see if it gets better. 4/10

Well the synopsis pretty much gave that generic crap away, so it was no surprise. Another one of these.......right after Asterisk and Rakudai Kishi finished just a few weeks ago too. Not really much else to say tbh, the action was decent I guess.....
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Holy shit, the description from this show alone is the literal embodiment of the word 'generic'.

It was entertaining enough, though. The Princess wasn't nearly as tsun as I thought she was going to be, which is a massive relief.
