It didn't disappoint on the Harem aspects of my expectations up until the final episode which seemed to derail the entire point of a Harem in the first place by showing obvious favoritism towards, of course, the "best looking" emotional, jealous, and/or sexually awkward one, who just so happens to also be the first member of the Harem as well.
I don't know how many times I've seen this trope now, but it needs to just stop because it leaves the Harem obsolete when you can see this happening from the very start and "sinks every ship" while they are still under construction in the dock yard, so to speak.
Story 3/10: The story is bad and it should feel bad. The story shouldn't be what you are watching this anime for in the first place. Especially after the opening scenes which are virtually the most understandable part of the story to date despite being only 1 episode, if even the full episode long. An important thing to note is that peoples abilities are often inverted from their personality, resulting in differing levels of irony.
Don't read the manga/source material either, because after the events of the anime and OVA it turns into a complete mess. And it almost completely removes the main drawpoint of the series, the Harem-Ecchi, so that it can try to continue the main plot in a way that feels as though it is made up on the spot page-by-page.
Art 7/10: Decent art, especially good when the Ecchi comes into play as the Ecchi is the main drawpoint and therefore gets emphasized. It is also obvious that they reuse scenes and animations at some points, although not to a large detriment.
Sound 5/10: Average, nothing downright terrible or good. Sometimes you get thrown off by a bizarrely poor sound effect(s) and it leaves you reeling in shock or makes you question what you just heard.
Character 7/10: Most of the characters are entertaining to at least some degree. The most entertaining being the Ecchi or "Harem Happy" ones, which is basically all of them but Lilith. A quick description of the main characters:
Arata - Protagonist, inherently perverted and admits it. Everybody knows that he wants to save his "Girlfriend" Hijiri, but in most cases ignores this fact for their own gains. Great chemistry with Levi.
Hijiri - Main love interest and cousin. Not actually his cousin though. Appears to be Arata's Achilles-Heel and is liable to make decisions based around her future.
Lilith - Boring prude that ironically has one of the most attractive bodies. Sexually awkward and almost always jealous or embarrassed. Her only key feature for comedy, although it becomes very redundant and old, is her being a literal stalker or otherwise having inexplicable timing to ruin anybodies chances of getting farther with Arata.
Arin - Generic Emotionless Albino. Can be funny when she tries to poorly imitate emotion. She is also identical to Hijiri and believes herself to be Arata's destined wife before even meeting him.
Levi the Ninja - One of the best characters in the show. Is willing to do anything to help the Harem-Lead Arata "get off" so to speak. Frequently fondles other girls breasts, sabotages their clothing, and suggests/approves perverted ideas. Has some sort of sexual attraction to Arata as well, leading him on with extremely provocative "word choice" in the Manga. A Fan Favourite for obvious reasons.
Liese - The older of a pair of twins. She is more "developed" and sexually aggressive. Has strong feelings towards Arata because of story events, but gets derailed in her attempts to further their relationship because of a certain someones jealousy.
Yui - A loli with large breasts and a big-brother-complex(Instant-Harem-Win). Unlike other characters, she is perfectly fine with being Arata's mistress instead of future wife.
Mira - Overly serious and sexually awkward. Closet pervert apparently with conflicting conscious about it. Very conceited.
Akio - The daughter of a nun... what. Not specifically part of Arata's Harem, she is more of a supporting friend.
Enjoyment 6/0: The anime itself is fairly enjoyable as it never tries to force the nonsensical story and focus's more on the Harem and Ecchi Elements. The story is obviously there to direct the latter elements forward, but it is by no means the main driving force behind wanting to watch this anime whatsoever.
If there is a Season 2, it will be rather disappointing. The story becomes the focus for some reason while at the same time being entire leagues worse, like, what the hell is this worse, and removing a majority of the ecchi/harem elements. It becomes borderline undo-able nonsense past the story arc that gives 2 characters a backstory, 1 good backstory for Akio, and 1 unbelievably-dumb backstory for Lilith that made no sense.
Also to note is that the ending of the anime starts to derail its own Harem with obvious favoritism. The Manga however does have the upside of subverting the obvious favoritism by leading two of the other characters onto the "viable ship".
Overall 6/10: It was a fairly enjoyable watch, and I actually hope this Anime doesn't get a second season because of the sad state the story arcs that follow are in.
