Art and animation gets a solid nine out of my book. The one thing that some of these action-harem animes do very good is focus on the aesthetics of a show; granted there is some very aesthetically displeasing shows of this genre as well. Trinity Seven I assure you, is not one of them. It does its action sequences very well as a result of the detailed animation and provides almost flawless integration of its 3D elements even during casual scenes that include no action whatsoever. This also does well to improve some of the ecchi and fan service elements should that be something you're interested in. If not, then Trinity Seven will not be disappointing to the average viewer that pays no heed to such elements.
As for the soundtrack that Trinity Seven provides it has its pros and cons. I would be quick to rate some of the action sequences sound effects to be really high, but it's not impressive to hear good quality explosions from a medium that is widely used to convey action. Another con of sound effects lies in the lack of atmosphere. Sometimes background noise can be somewhat annoying if not really annoying, but lack of it completely seems dull to the viewer and was something Trinity Seven failed to provide. Trinity Seven did provide some pretty memorable audio from its music soundtrack however. The OP was most impressive and complemented the visuals marvelously. Soundtrack within the anime itself should it be noticed was vastly unique and worked well with the occasion presented withing the show. With these things being said, the sound wins itself seven trinities out of ten.
Even though Trinity Seven did have a knack for favoring some characters over others, it did extremely well on the characters it focused on. There wasn't any characters I would call rogue personally for most characters had some if not good history explained, and those vital to the story that was presented had reasons for what they were doing. In many of the most recent ecchi based shows I've seen growing complaints about predictable and plain characters from those who are not avid viewers of the genre. If you are one of these people; a refreshing look on the ecchi/harem genre may be taken from viewing this show. Especially since the protagonist is not average in any sense, but can also hold his own when he wants to. There is a theme here for him and he does grow stronger. As a result characters get a commendable eight out of ten.
Finally is the story, which I would regrettably say is very mediocre because of one major flaw. Trinity Seven is a magic show revolving around mages and it seems like the magic never really gets explained properly. Of course a valid counter-argument would just be, "It's magic, leave it at that!" but it doesn't really hold to much ground seeing as they tried to explain some aspects of it. Plus is the finer details that create some pretty extensive plot wholes that are probably better covered in the accompanied manga. These finer details are of course more whys and hows, curiosities that trouble the observant and knowledge-seeking individuals. Other than that is the fair but inconclusive ending. A five out of ten for an entertaining but somewhat lacking story.
Overall Trinity Seven is a good anime, and I would recommend to people that are slightly interested or actually dedicated time to read this review to watch it. I personally enjoyed it and would only stagger on a re-watch for those first six episodes, the later half was more impressive for me. Please leave feedback, and I will continue to write reviews sporadically.
