Once it got rolling, the show gave me about what I expected. Ikki, the main character, is a good guy though at times a bit too "pure". Quite like a Knight sometimes actually. And when the romance finally did get going it was very cute, though I wish we could've gotten a little more in this regard. Still, it was quite enjoyable to watch most of the time.
The battles and the plot of the story were interesting enough to keep me watching. I was never really on the edge of my seat (the plot armor of the main character is about as subtle as an actual suit of armor), but I didn't hate watching the battles. I will say that the anime felt like it had too much for 12 episodes. I found myself thinking that several episodes could've been split into 2 episodes very easily. Particularly towards the end of the series it felt rushed.
Overall, it was a cute series. The romance was enjoyable, and the plot entertaining. There was nothing that blew me away about the series, and it was very predictable. I'd recommend this show if you are looking for something a bit on the lighter side and not too serious.
