Trigger Warning:
This show has multiple scenes of attempted rape. They're not explicitly showed, but it does hint that attempts happened/tried to happen.

As cute of a show it looks on the outside, it can get pretty dark, which is why I put the warning up first.

Aside from that-
I didn't think I would enjoy this much because based on the cover art, it looks like a reverse harem. Most of the reverse harems I've seen have not had that great of stories, and are more for fanservice.

But this show wasn't a reverse harem (or not emphasized to be). Thank god! A few characters do crush on our main girl, but it's not focused on those aspects. Cool, she's surrounded by handsome guys, but the anime focuses more on the plot and developing the characters individually rather than trying to use the main heroine as a way to show themselves. And most of the guys aren't trying to flirt with her or anything.

One of the best things about this show were the characters. A lot of them were really likable and I even found myself sympathizing with some of the opposing characters too.

I think because a lot of stuff happens in the show, that the story is constantly evolving and moving forward that it may feel 'rushed' for some people. Compared to other shows I've recently seen where 2 opponents will spend the whole 20 minutes staring each other down in a battle or thinking "ah what do i do", this show mostly goes straight to the action. I like it this way, since I never felt bored.

The music was a bit weird for my taste, but fair. The saxophone part in one of the 'emotional' or 'deep' songs always had me cackling because it felt out of place lol

Animation was done pretty good for its time. I had no problems with the animation until Episode 41. Starting in Episode 41, the animation started looking a bit weird and lazy, like you could tell they were re-using some of the same sequences. Most notably in Episode 41, the figures of Miaka and Tamahome are so distorted and exaggerated that it was HILARIOUS (you'll see what i mean when you get to that episode).

So yes, after Episode 41, the animation goes a bit downhill but it's not bad that you need to drop it. It's still worth the watch.

Overall, I did enjoy the show. Only dislike was Miaka's personality sometimes, but alas she's only 15 years old lol

Other than that, I think it'll be a good show to watch for laughs and an interesting plot.
