The manga had great art, fast pace, no unnecessary scenes or drama, lots of ecchi and it felt so lighthearted that even the abuse felt ok even though I’m more of a sadist, because he didn’t feel as offensive as some doormat mcs, at least he’s got balls and gets stepped on because he likes it, not because he’s a wimp.
Then enter the anime, some of the worst art I’ve ever seen in an anime with incredibly clear overuse of choppy and ugly 3D animated models (budget much?), messy and dragged out pace due to added drama and more ”political correctness”, hell, they changed a lot of parts completely and focused far too much on forced, artificial and horribly written drama, the writers for this are incredibly untalented. The ecchi is quite toned down and far worse due to bad art, it’s far from as lighthearted and fast paced, the mc feels more like a true abuse victim, ends up being written as a true wimp and doormat and the girls end up seeming far harsher due to the voice actors’ intonations and even newor changed dialogue lines.
I detest the anime. It’s a train wreck, purely irredeemable gutter trash. It does everything wrong, not a single element is praiseworthy. Music, sfx, art, story, voice acting… It’s rare that everything ends up so wrong. It’s as if this is a joke to them. Clearly it’s just an attempt to grab some cash with zero love given to it. The manga is at least readable, although the story sucks there too, it’s made up for by the art, ecchi, cool scenes and pace that never stops for more than the bare minimum of drama and the characters are likable enough.
Don’t waste your time, read the manga instead if the setting intrigues you.
