Skip half of the actual content and sat through all the OPs and EDs.
Short & Sweet Spoilers Free (9 episodes in):
This is probably as trashy as a cliche generic fantasy harem show could get, and it really is just that. To my surprise it's pretty enjoyable, for perhaps the wrong reasons. But as long as you don't mind shutting down your frontal lobe a bit, it's a solid time pastime. The show is "special", and any meaning of the word "special" you can think of can simultaneously apply here.
I can definitely see polarized opinions on this show, for it excels (in a good way) but for the worst things. It has no shame displaying the silly parts, and instead reinforces them to a point where you don't feel weirded out anymore. Despite being able to spot the flaws, I couldn't deny that I liked it. Just for that alone I think it's fair to compare it with SAO, or The Irregular at Magic Highschool, my personal favorite guilty pleasure. You hate to love it.
On a side note, I really enjoyed the catchy OP and the memorable ED, some of my favorites this season. The animation on the OP and some of the post-budget-apocalypse action/dramatic scenes were done very well.
In the end, Assassin's Pride gives you plenty reasons to watch it, be it ironically or genuinely. Rated a 6 for "ehhhhh could be worse".
