Characters: The harem lead, Takahiro, seems like an OK guy. He’s not overly arrogant, although he can be whiny and brain dead at times. Mio, the apparent cover girl and love interest of Takahiro, is completely eclipsed by Celia: the noble and blonde busty bombshell with blue eyes. Celia is the class president and the most mature out of all girls, both physically and personality wise. Noel is the most entertaining. You do get some character development, but it's shallow at best.
Plot: The main objectives for most of the supporting female cast is to squire (sleep) with Takhiro and to win the upcoming swimsuit pageant. There’s a jousting competition on the side too. Joking aside, if you want to go straight to the meat, you can go to episode ten and have a good idea of where this is going. There's a lot of fluffy fan-service and awkward nudity. A part of me wished that the jousting wasn’t this superficial. There is no decent explanation of basic jousting. Takahiro just hands Mio a lance and tells her to jab the air a couple of times.
Art: This show’s strongest point. The painted landscapes are drawn really well and are quite pretty at times. You get your hitches with character animation and quality here and there, but it’s to be expected. The characters and horses during jousting matches are rendered in 3D and look alright, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the animations were re-used. Um, did I mentioned that there’s bare breasts too?
Overall Thoughts: I’ll be honest. The main reason why I wanted to check this out was because of Celia for obvious reasons. I was also curious to see how an anime would depict and handle the sport of jousting. Unfortunately, it’s an anime that’s smothered in fan-service and harem fluff. If that's your thing, then be my guest. But for me, not even a well-drawn anime rendition of an eroge can make up for its shortcomings.
TL;DR: Harem anime with jousting school-girls donned in armor and miniskirts. Celia is the best.
