The visuals look pretty average at best but if the characters are fun to watch I'm in.

Always want more fantasy slice of life. Kinda relieved that it's only 5 minutes per episode, since this fall is so packed. 7 or 12 minutes would have been nice though.

Does this have a game as well or why does it say New Game, continue etc. in the key visual?

It's a design choice, this is a manga adaptation.

A perfect storm of anime goodness. (Not isekai, not from LN, and great premise)

Why can't we get more anime like this instead of garbage like Re: Zero and bad isekai LN adaptation #25,555,356?

> Lilietta: Nao Touyama (Beatless)

Well, I will have to give it a chance!

Please, be a good anime instead of fan service

Denied, it's a anime about lingerie like armor

In fact I would be disappointed if an anime featuring a 'sexy armor shop' was not echhi.
