A) You have read the manga and are familiar with most of the characters and their personalities. In which case, you probably made more sense of this episode than those who didn't. You probably thought it was a decent watch.
B) You haven't read the manga/light novel and don't really understand the context of this episode (I don't blame you). All you can see are fan-service filled scenes with no real plot or story introduced. Probably just another cookie cutter harem. That's totally fine because for what its worth, that's really what this whole episode was about. What you shouldn't do though, is think that the rest of this series will follow this trend. Here's why you should consider watching at least a couple more episodes:
Assuming that the anime follows the plot of the manga/light novel, I can safely assure you guys that this will probably be the last time that fanservice of this magnitude is shown. There's definitely a lot more to this series than tits. Whether you take that as a good or bad thing is up to you. In other words, DO NOT LET THIS EPISODE REFLECT WHETHER OR NOT YOU WATCH THE REST OF THE SERIES.
At this point, it really is impossible to give the series a fair score for story, it's only been one episode. It's obviously lacking in that department and probably not reflective of the main plot like I mentioned earlier. That aside, everything else seems to be decent. The art, while seemingly higher in quality when compared to other generic harems, hides its flaws better than most. Lots of consistency issues as well as a messload of still-frames (although they were nicely done) make it hard to fully enjoy the character art, which wasn't bad at all.
Sound was decent for the most part as well. VA performance was good overall bar Eriri's seiyuu, who didn't have a particularly strong showing this time around. Furthermore, there's the fucking king of harems Matsuoka voicing the MC, what more do you need? Not to mention the OP and ED are super fucking catchy.
Character-wise, there's not much to be said. They're nothing special. The only character that may have slightly deviated from your typical harem character archetypes was Katou. She literally gives 0 fucks about everything. The manga depicts these characters slightly differently compared to what we've seen thus far in the anime, so hopefully A1 can redeem themselves in the upcoming episodes.
I'm giving this review a 6 as an objective score for THIS EPISODE ONLY. This does NOT reflect how I feel towards the series as a whole. This is mostly because we don't know how the actual series will play out but also from what I have read in the manga, Saekano has a lot more to offer that hasn't been shown yet. If you're a fan of romcoms, I highly recommend staying tuned for at least the next 3 episodes.
