I went into the anime thinking this would be full of ecchi and fanservice but honestly ended up enjoying this series far more than I thought I would. Whilst there is some fanservice, it really isn't as bad as I thought it would be.
The story itself is simple and treads a fairly familiar path of a young adventurer who starts of weak but has hidden potential quite apart from a kind and moral heart. The beauty of the story however lies in how relatable the characters are and the chemistry of the leads. With simple stories, it is not just about the premise but the execution that counts - to that end, the main characters are just a lot of fun.
In general I don't really care about art and sound unless they are exceptionally good or bad. In this case, they serve the series well in making us care for the characters and enjoy watching them develop and grow.
Whilst this anime is not lifechanging nor particularly thought provoking, it does it's job of holding your attention and providing entertainment throughout the series with no real flaws or particular disappointments. Perhaps the only downside is the short single cour ending leaving a feeling of lack of completion. I sincerely hope that there is a second season because this feels like a 2 cour anime at least to allow an opportunity for some resolution of plot points.
In summary, don't let the poor written reviews or your pre/misconceptions about the title and style of anime put you off.
If you watch it, the vast majority of you will enjoy it's light hearted style and have a fun time watching it. I know that I certainly didnt feel that I wasted my time watching this series and can recommend this anime if you are looking for a charming series to fill your time with!
