There was a lot of needless melodrama in this show, but I also realize that if it wasn't for the"antagonists" there really wouldn't be too much of a show, err...STORY at ALL. So I get it. It surpassed my expectations, that's for sure. Most game to anime adaptations are usually garbage, so I avoided this for the longest time like it was the plague. One thing I will say, and I'm not sure how popular of an opinion this is, but I could really have cared less for their whole "Goddess" forms and the like. Yeah they were cool, but I much prefer their base forms.
So in closing, it was fun overall. And Nep DID make me laugh with her antics. That's something I can't say for too much else these days. This was my first review on this site, and I'm used to writing just short little excerpts and let others write the full scale, long write ups. Hope it helped a little.
