For example, it's hard to spoil this show because the anime is almost episodic, thus, don't really have any plot to follow or to spoil. Then for an almost episodic story, it would need a good cast don't you think? Not necessarily, this series don't have cute cast like Lucky Star or funny cast like How I met your Mother. At least not in the typical term of cute or funny. Think of this show as Naruto but without Naruto wanting to become Hokage, and his friends got no ambitions other than to follow him. Though Maki might resemble Sasake more than Naruto. Hopefully, you see that setting won't work... at least not for some. Not everyone has a taste for seeing and hearing a motive less character even with fights. This is what I can understand why some people don't like it.
It's not like I'm a special snowflake who likes quirky character or thing, it's almost weird to actually enjoy Renge's character yet I do. If you can't find charm in weirdly and annoying character with too much ego then that's fine for not liking this anime. However, something like art style or animation argument is mostly BS to me. After this sentence it'll mostly rant so you can stop reading here.

People who argument about the art. Stop right fucking there. For me if anything is done right in this anime it's the art. Sure the animation is bad comparing to FMA from 2003. Yet the art is unique and honestly good. Maki being a hunk is pretty expected if she's going to withstand a blow that can break a fucking wall. Though sure to break a wall you might need to look like a character from Baki but the point is. Their proportions are good to used in a fight. Also if this anime had the Clannad anime style or Kyoto Animation's style (no offense) it wouldn't be about the fight but how pretty the fight is instead.
Okay so here's about the fighting. Sure the anime lack good animation but that's where a good directing comes in. It's Daisuke Nishio whom directed this anime. He has directed Dragon Ball series, One Piece and more. Those I've seen are One Piece and Futari wa Pretty Cure. Both shows has a lot of actions with less frames, however, has a lot of "force" in every hit. That's what he is good at and that's what make the fighting good without the Naruto/Baki like actions. Also the fighting seems more down to earth and powerful when you can see and follow how each hits connects.
Lastly, I want to mention the "fanservice"... If those white panties turns you on then leave this anime. It's not even trying to bring attention to those panties and Mina's big boobs are so cartoonishly over fucking exaggerated that only retards can get turn on from it. It's so obvious that is supposed to be made fun of and if they want to sexualize the panties then why would they not shade the genitals to make it look more provocative and eye catching? I never even once batted an eyes on them. Sure I may be a girl but I don't look at guys crotch either. Either way there's no boob movement in the fight like High School of the Dead and there no showing of them in any fights either. (I'm not counting Maki's first fight with Julietta as it clearly wasn't a fight.) Stop these retarded horny comments on this anime please.
That's it for me.
