Mixed Feelings
Story:
The story is pretty standard for a harem anime: a single male gets surrounded by beautiful females. The male protagonist has the ability to transform the females into overly powerful warriors called Master Samurai, and that's basically it. It kind of reminds me of Sekirei. The plot had a LOT of potential, but was drowned out by the fan service and comedic attempts, and so many character introductions. If the anime wasn't so short, and they focused on the plot more, this could have been an incredible anime that was very different from all of the other ecchi/harem anime. Overall, the plot was poorly executed and the comedy isn't all that great either.
Art:
The art is beautiful. The style has a nice look to it, and I particularly like the character design of the male protagonist. The background artwork looks like something you may see in an old Asian painting. The animation is smooth, and the few fight scenes that were there were pretty cool. The fact that they integrated ink splotches to make the anime seem like a painting was very nice. However, I feel like they over did it with the ink transitions; they happened way too frequently and kind of got annoying. The ink censorship was also very distracting in the censored version, but I watched the uncensored version so I didn't mind much.
Sound:
There was nothing particularly good or bad about the music in my opinion.
Characters:
The characters were the basic characters you'd expect in a harem/battle anime. We have the oblivious, yet pure-hearted male. We have the super-smart loli female, arrogant yet beautiful female, cool headed female, masochistic female, annoying female that is unimportant, and an antagonist who treats his female partner like trash. We received barely any character development for any of these characters since there were so many to be introduced, so when love scenes started, they seemed a bit rushed.
Enjoyment:
Even though the love scenario was rushed, I still sort of enjoyed it, and the art was very nice to watch. The fan service may have been to much, though. I had a feeling the plot wasn't going to be performed as well as it had potential for while watching this series, but I still hoped that it would pick up, and it didn't. The end, like all of the other developments, was rushed. I still managed to enjoy it though.
Overall:
This anime wasn't very well executed in the story or character department, which is essential for a successful anime. The art was incredible, but it would have been nice to see more serious battle scenes rather than so much fan service. How can so many breasts be exposed so easily!? Either way, if you really enjoy ecchi anime, or nice artwork, and don't mind the bad characters and storyline, then you might want to give this one a try. Otherwise, this anime is just like every other harem/ecchi anime out there, and is not worth mentioning in particular.
