Art: The art designs in this show are really good, in my opinion. Kazuma has a legendary character design, but other characters in the series have equally great designs. The fight scenes just look incredible most of the time.
Sound: Very solid. I like the ending theme more than the opening, but the soundtrack in the show itself really works, if I recall correctly.
Character: Like I said, female characters are terrible. Kazuma is a great character with deep manliness whereas his "sidekick" (I want to call her that) is boring and usually so one-dimensional that she can be characterized by calling out "Kasu-kun". She shows glimpses of a great character, but was never pushed far enough to make her seem like anything but a child archetype. Mimori is a character who seems like she could mean something, but is downright empty. Scheris' "Eternal Devote" is a phrase that has remained in my memory forever. I wish she was a good character, but she is also mostly empty and fails at everything despite being the most involved female character. None of Kazuma's real opponents are female.
Enjoyment: My enjoyment was low. Although the show was great, it was hard for me to really feel involved with it because the female characters were the ones I was invested in, but they never went anywhere meaningful for me.
Overall: 6 Fair. The show is really great if you are capable of ignoring its flaws. If I could, I would easily give it a score from 8-10.
