Step Two ... watch in the now don't compare it to other anime especially Rakudai no Kishi
This doesn't have romance this doesn't really have a harem. Going into this anime for those will only lead to disappointment. What it does have however are well structured action scenes. Just make sure to treat the relationship of the MC with the female characters as girls who are friends and not much more than that. It does not really fall into the "so bad it's good" category just treat it as an enjoyable anime. It probably would have been received better if it had been released before Rakudai no Kishi and not at the same time the characters of the 2 anime are rather similar but the story itself is a completely different beast. Rakudai is all on the romance. Asterisk on the other hand is more about the action. The "Romance" doesn't exist. It wouldn't surprise anyone if it developed bit is doesn't make any real appearance in the anime.
