Walkure Romanze tells the tale of six sweet girls ramming lances at each other on horseback. The jousting matches take a proportional amount of the plot - everything is focused around deciding which of the six girls is strongest. The matches are surprisingly exciting to watch, though some of the rules I can't fathom for the life of me. Namely, the concept of the "feather's fly" just blows my mind: Basically, hitting the feather in a knight's helmet is instant victory, while smashing their skulls in is penalized. Talk about high risk, high reward!

For a harem anime, Walkure Romanze's fanservice stays uncharacteristically reserved and classy - for the most part. The comedy is lighthearted, just like the drama. Watching this series, you won't find your blood pressure rising: There's not a moment you'll spend at the edge of your seat.

The anime girl tropes you'll get to enjoy in Walkure Romanze are airhead, alpha bitch, emotionless girl, while the rest are more difficult to categorize. Oddly, considering this genre, they decided to throw a frisky lesbian into the mix. Overall though, the cast is well balanced and none of the characters are completely one-dimensional; they all have interesting personal hangups and the minimum amount of backstory. The only glaring weakness in the cast, in my opinion, is the lack of a good tsundere.

Walkure Romanze delivers the harem fantasy in an excellent fashion: all the girls want a piece of the male surrogate, Takahiro Mizuno. Takahiro's the perfect blend of bland and stoic. It's a real feat the writers pulled off when designing him: Somehow it feels completely plausible how he stays perfectly level-headed, even while five girls, including a lesbian, are lusting after him.
