Well, I was 50% right at the harem/fan service part, although it is pretty different from the general harem as it was more of "I like him because of what he does and his noble intentions" and that's all, no lusty feelings (except for the "villain" of the series), but absolutely wrong about the main character, Bell, saving girls. In fact, the first thing we see is an amazing swordswoman kicking the ass of a minotaur in order to save Bell.
The series is set in a world where gods and goddesses descent from heavens to join humans, giving up their divine powers and establishing "familias", guilds in which adventurers join and receive the blessing of the god or goddess of that familia. Bell is part of the Hestia familia, which is one of the poorest of all, as he is the only member of that guild and the " headquarters" is just an old, tiny church.
The characters were the best part of the series. Bell is far more interesting than other characters, as his motivations are more human and feel natural. Besides, his powers actually have some kind of explanation, ome that goes along with the setting. And his relationship with Hestia is amazing! And yes, she's the boobilicious character that has appeared everywhere, but, to my surprise, that disn't define her character. The fan service was not a main part of the story, and that let Hestia and other girls feel like interesting characters with stories behind them, being two examples Liliruca and Ryu.
The animation was impressively good, being solid throughout the series. The battle in the middle part of the series one of the best of the year.
This is series I'd like to call the middle point between Log Horizon and SAO, as it has the characters and development of the first and the well done animation that define the second. This is a series I'd recommend to anyone looking for well done characters and relationships, and amazingly animated battles.
Don't miss it, and I hope that it gets a second season!
