At last, this anime has finished airing (although I am pretty sure specials will be on their way). I will not include any spoilers, just cause not even the barely-decent stuff is worth mentioning.

Ever since this anime was green-lit, I was really excited to watch it. The original game comes from Broccoli, who also made Uta no Prince--and I loved the anime for that game, albeit the second season got pretty ridiculous. I love otome games in general, so I was psyched to watch another anime based on a game. But now that the anime is over, I feel extremely disappointed and that I've wasted 12 weeks watching this.

Story: Now, the story seems decent. However, since this is a reverse harem show, obviously the anime will have little stories in it dedicated to individual gods and their respective relationship development with Yui. These stories are quite boring, and sometimes goes past the point of ridiculousness in a bad way.

Art: Possibly the only topic I can give higher than a 4 on. It's pretty, although not so pretty that I can constantly admire.

Sound: Not memorable. Not even the opening and ending songs are good.

Character: Oh God, these characters are terrible. All the gods are pigeonholed so much that I was always extremely annoyed with them. Example: Dionysus, who ONLY talks and thinks wine. Yes, I know he is the Greek god of wine, but a good character should develop or at least not repeat the same crap every. single. episode. Dionysus was also just a background character, and so nobody bothered with him--which I annoyed me so much, because I wanted a reason why this character is there if the studio bothered to draw and animate him. All other gods do this to some degree, and never really develop--even with what happens at the end. Yui is pretty much the only decent character there, because she discovers what these gods are going through and is not a--relatively speaking--wooden character that is bland and boring. But the flaws of all the other characters overshadow her, not letting her stand out.

Enjoyment: With poor characters, fair art, and terrible stories, I felt like I was trudging through quicksand when I decided to continue with this anime, since I wanted to finish what I started. Nothing exciting happens really.

Overall: I tell everyone to steer clear of this anime, even those who are fans of otome games and the reverse harem genre. This show isn't even laughably bad. I am severely disappointed, and annoyed that I have wasted my time with this anime.
