I will preface this by saying I went in with no hope whatsoever for this show and merely for the purpose of being entertained. Given its name and notoriety for fan-service, I expected something along the lines of Konosuba, but that would fall far short.

Now for my opinion (for what it's worth). First off, I WOULD NOT CALL THIS A COMEDY. I remember shouting this at the t.v. at one point, while in the grip of powerful emotion. There are some funny moments. However, there are some major feels about halfway through.

I've read a lot of reviews about boring characters. Okay. There are a few who remain one-dimensional the whole way. However, I actually got invested in several (and I'm a bit of a snob!) Like most anime, there is a theme of wanting to get stronger. But there are also themes of forgiveness that were very touching.

Next I want to address the plot. Many have expressed boredom. I don't know what you want from a show, but I found the first half of this one to be very interesting. And not necessarily for its world, but for its character interactions. Now the show does seem to devolve some after the halfway point. The first half of the show is really why I rated it as high as I did.

All this to say that I don't think this is a bad anime. Are there boobs? Yes! But what anime doesn't take a moment or two to focus on that anymore? I did not start feeling distracted by the fan service until the very last episodes. However, if you are looking for a really good laugh like in Konosuba, your time might be best spent elsewhere (like on Konosuba!)

Side note: If you end up liking the show, there is a spin-off series about Ais Wallenstein that is also fairly entertaining. It runs parallel to this show but from her perspective and answers a few questions you don't even know you want answers to. Not the best plot and the fan service gets stepped up, but enjoyable all the same—especially if you are a completionist like me.
