The main problem with this is that there were so many expectations for this anime due to the synopsis sounded pretty neat. If it actually got rid off most of episodes 3-9 and made ones with actual plot this would have lived up to these expectations.
Having said that i did find it an enjoyable watch and watched the eps as they came out not really complaining about it. It was a relaxing anime meant to be fun not edge of your seat binge watch stuff.
Pros :
- relaxing and gives a good laugh
- Mai senpai
- Plot picks up later in show
- Fanservice
- All the girls are enjoyable
- Another shipping war
Cons:
- No real plot till late in the show
- Characters are cut and paste (might not be seen as bad)
- Another shipping war
- does not meet expectations in terms of story
Story : 5 - In terms of story i feel this is why a lot of people were let down by this anime. The synopsis sounds good and you expect a plot driven anime. However no plot really happens till episode 11 where the you actually might start to care about the MC and hint of plot actually happens. So story is a 5 simply because it did not deliver much story at all until very late but when it did instantly wanted more.
Sound: 6 - like most recently of KyoAni the animation is good but nothing different from other works really.
Art: 6 - same explanation as sound.
Character: 7 - In terms of characters, for the first half you are only watching it for the girls as the MC has no character development. Most of the characters are cut and paste really. Only 4 characters out of around 10 you only really care about and have any kind of development at all. However the characters are enjoyable and the girls really carry the show till later in the show.
Enjoyment: 8 - As many flaws and typical harem characteristics it has i really did enjoy it. The character interactions are funny and the story when it finally picks up bumps this enjoyment rating up.
Overall: 7 - Due to the high expectations MnPW fails due to it being completely different to what was expected. However if you just want to relax and have a good laugh this is decent. If you want plot brave through to episode 11 or look somewhere else.
