Mixed Feelings
Hey folks, this will be a review for Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut. This anime is just alright. That being said I want to break it down some more, but first we need to discuss the number 1 word associated with harems, "Generic". People throw around the word generic too much. Calling every harem you watch generic is like calling every variation of plain vanilla pudding generic. The pudding is vanilla flavored whether you dislike it, are tired of it, or any other feelings you may have for it. Its up to you to decide whether or not you like that particular brand or not. That being said, this brand was not the best.

The story is not bad, at least it seems like it would have been good if they explained it. However as it seems like this is a filler anime, we have our story sorely unexplained, and serves only as a backdrop. The harem and girl developing side to the story is also relatively bland however leaving this anime as another waste of time IMO.

We start off per usual, with our male mc somehow finding himself seeing one of the prominent female characters naked. This in turn leads to a duel in which showcases our nice mc and his although somewhat lacking ability surpassing the females exceptional ability through his own inner strength. The twist at the beginning is easy to spot, and our female duelist isn't a red haired fire wielder so it gains a few points for that spot of originality. After this the story progresses in chunks as we uncover secrets of this world that honestly makes little sense and is only slightly explained by the mature mother like sister. Most of the girls have at least one episode dedicated to them and for the most part they are alright. The end seemed anti climatic and lame, many times conflicts are overcome by our mc by his own super ability.

The art was just ok. The voice acting is always great and the music was alright.

The characters were a wee bit different than usual, not filling the typical harem roll call which some may like. As I like the typical cast of girls this wasn't impressive to me. The girls also even though having some tragic backstory, somehow manage to seem shallow and clingy. Our mc Lux arcadia was your naive super nice, super op character. The girls don't really matter. They do, as previously mentioned, have a backstory but they play no integral part to the story. They simply come on the screen to showcase lux then disappear until they are required to progress something again. I didn't even have a favorite, though I guess if I had to choose, it would be Phi, who btw shows the most character

I enjoyed this anime as a filler. However there are plenty out there that will probably not like it. If you don't like harems don't bother. If you like harems and need a fix, here you go. I would recommend Isekai no Seikishi Monogatari if you want a better version of this. The ecchi and fan service is rather low for those who dislike this, your rather safe.

TLDR: Not very good, different but not engaging characters, story feels like a backdrop to the anime as a whole, lame ending. Don't bother unless you go into it as a time waster.
