Story: This is one of those stories where you get thrown right in, and you're not certain what's going on. It's also one of those stories where the Main character is one of the only males, and he is the top dog. He's randomly the top dog, when he joins a school of mages. That's right a school. So here we have, an easy setting to navigate, and the 'trinity seven,' three antagonists that don't show up till the last two episodes, and a sister of the trinity seven. So that's 11 girls for this Main Character to chose from in his big harem. Basically, it's as cookie cutter as it gets. The Main MC, is an all powerful mage, right off the bat. The fan service is also off the charts, happening at one scene every three to four minutes. Not to say, fan service is bad, and shouldn't be put in a story, It just felt like it was over done. It was enjoyable, because of the magic factor. A decent portion of the magic was explained, and the way the world worked was explained, therefore I think that put it above and beyond a lack luster harem show.
Art- The character designs were pretty cute, and Arata was decently handsome, same with the headmaster. When the shit hit the fan, the magical fights were fantastic. My biggest and most glaring problem with the show was that they DIDN'T go anywhere besides the school, and maybe a beach. So all we saw was a crappy 'cg' model of a school and it's rooms, and outside campus, and maybe a pretty background of a ruined world at sun set.
Sound- I loved the opening song. I watched it 9 times! It had a very wild song, that reminded me of 'another's' op. If you've seen it! I can get behind the soundtrack as very soothing on the ears, and playing the right moods at the right times.
Character: Literally no development for any of the characters. I thought the tidbits for the characters were lacking. The only real details we got were how the characters got along together and what trope they fell into in a harem world.
Enjoyment: I liked it! It's probably not for the most critical players in the anime game, but you know its a decent watch being that it's 12 episodes. I can get behind it as being a 'hit or miss' but you can see for yourself. If you dislike overly undeveloped harems (and I don't mean their bust sizes), don't watch it.
Overall: Seven. It's good, but it isn't THAT good. I can give it a seven due to it's soundtrack, decent magical background, and great fights. We all factor in different 'feelings' when writing reviews and giving anime a score. Up to you how you think it'll do.
