Reviews

Let me get this clear: My rating of 6 does not mean that this anime is bad, only that it could've been much more than it is. To me, 5-6 is mediocre. It could have been better, but it doesn't do horribly bad either. 5-6 is my example of an average anime. In a lot of anime reviews of MyAnimeList, I seem to think that a lot of reviewers regard a 5 as a bad score. My point with this lengthy introduction is that my mindset is different from most reviewers who think like the above, so when you read this, keep this in mind.

This anime was a refresher for light novel anime watchers like me. Many light novels anime adaptions are really bad, like Asterisk War and SAO. Although this light novel isn't that much better, it still sets itself off from SAO and Asterisk War. The romance that was set in the anime is realized waaay earlier than expected, making the harem end much earlier. There are also little things, like the characters reacting in a realistic way to an embarrassing or outrageous event, or even the visuals that completely flesh out a dangerous situation.

Story 5/10
The story is very generic. It has the main character, with zero magical ability, fight in selection matches to get in a big event, in order to graduate. I've seen many plots like this, and in this one the story is executed in a passable way. It really isn't anything special.

Art 7/10
The visuals were very average, with the exceptions of the last few episodes. Without spoiling too much, the main character is undergoing a gigantic hardship. The visuals portray this very well, and it really set the mood for the situation. This visual change is the main reason art is 7/10 and not a 5/10.

Sound 8/10
The OP was nicely done. I liked alot of the music of this anime. From the happy and quirky pieces that were cheerful, to the tense pieces that made your heart beat fast, the music influenced alot to the emotions that I experienced while watching this anime. Loved it all.

Characters 6/10
There's the pink haired tsundere princess, the sister who's smitten to the main guy lead, and the cross boy girl mother figure?! This cast of characters isn't all that special, maybe except the cross boy girl, but the way they were executed made them into actually decent characters.

Enjoyment 6/10
I enjoyed this anime more than I thought I would've. The fight scenes were well animated (for the most part), the fanservice was not forced, like the Asterisk War, and overall, even though I cringed at the "I like boobs.", and other scenes and lines, overall this was a good watch.

Overall 6/10
This anime is better than some light novel anime adaptions, but still has alot of problems. It has assets over other anime, but it isn't able to override the many issues this anime has.
