I'm surprised. This turned out better than I expected

Liked the MC, kinda. He's not a wimp and seems qute capable. It sounds like he's got an interestig backstory too.

It's the girls I'm not quite liking. God, Claire is bloody annoying... and everyone keeps calling him a pervert, it's getting tiring... well, I found Ellis funny in some ways, especially the part where she told Kamito abt buildin his hse in 3 hrs, but overall, the girl characters are a bit underwhelming. (Someone noted how the girls in STnBD r similar to Zero no Tsukaima, and the resemblance is uncanny... btw, didnt like a lot of female characters in ZnT either...)

I guess the story will be rather... predictable frm now on. However, I am actually pretty curious abtKamito's past. I dont think it'll be super original or unique or anything, but t does sound like it can be pretty intresting.

Animation was rather decent on the whole, with a few sloppy scenes here n there. OP was not bad, but nothing spectacular.

Overall, it wasnt too bad. At least it has a nice flow to it, and nothin feels to convoluted or stupid so far.
The most annoying thing about some anime is that they don't know when they've died...

Not bad, pretty fun to watch. Feels a lot like Infinite Stratos and Familiar of Zero, lots of aspects of both shows are clearly present in this one. I really like the setting and character designs so far, although the character personalities and their behavior are a little too cliche. Plot has potential.

Well, this was insanely generic. Let's count the cliches, shall wel? Bland mc, red-haired tsundere with fire powers, mc meets tsundere bathing outdoors, mc inadvertently mentions how small tsundere's breasts are out loud, mc saves bathing tsundere and ends up inadvertently grabbing her breast, tsundere calls mc a pervert even though she knows he didn't do it on purpose, show's powers can only be used by women and mc is the lone exception, "I can see your panties", mc guesses the color of tsundere's panties and she embarrassingly tells him the actual color, the blond uses "watakushi", the girls all talk about him when he's within earshot, the maid is clumsy and falls tits-first into him before calling him a pervert, tsundere asks him to make a contract with her and the mc is asked to take part in a competition involving something he swore never to do again. Pathetic.

Little details apart, I missed the sword spirit changing forms for the last attack. Maybe done like that not to drag the fight.

Another thing I wanted to see was Kamito's catch phrase about Greyworth, but there are otter moments for that

Zero no tsukaima(more like Seikoku_no_Dragonar) meets Infinite Stratos.

*sigh* We've meet two tsundere's and one yandere so far. Honestly the only thing i like about this anime so far is the main character. He isn't useless and is aggressive towards the girls instead of being completely oblivious.

Too bad that this look like won't cover team gathering arc. We have Claire, Est(sword form), Ellis, Rinslet and her tsundere translator maid Carol and a little cameo for Restia.

And the comment section here filled with something like "dropped" and "bla bla generic bla bla" like I expected.

So far the adaptation didn't disappoint and I like the OP Kyoumei no True Force.

Again it's confirmation, as well as a chance to see if it has something going for it.

Example: If it presented the girls just being genuinely insecure around the MC and shunning him away, instead of "hentai!", just by that, it could've shown promise.

Seconded.

This series is so generic that it physically pains me, there is NOTHING original about it. Even the character designs are re-hashes.

And don't even get me started on how the MC is the ultimate Gary Stu self insert for otaku boys.

As far as harem goes it's ok.
The goal has already been set and the MC isn't the pushover type.
So far, still lacks the obligatory waifu material.

How I longed for this...

The only character I actually don't like in this story is Claire since she's just the boring tsundere with a few "honorable" moments.... all other are just soooo cute!!!

After a few years, finally a harem story with no real "drama" in it.... just the good old comedy and fan service!!

Good start.
Kamito takes the spirit she was trying to obtain, and so he sorta ends up as her contracted spirit xD

Then what's with all the dramatic setup for the action? And you can bet our Gary Stu OP protagonist will have some tragic past to reveal. Or maybe they'll go "solve the girl's problems" route.

Actually if you read the books you would know that
) so yeah if you want to think this is a big drama then feel free to think that way.... however to me that is just the basic skeleton of the story, and since I know what it's gonna happen, I can freely relax on the comedy and fan service.

As for the colors.... DEAL WITH IT!!! if you don't like it..... just suck it up!!

Anyway, glad to see you spreading the regular hate, seems all is fine with you.... take care might!!

It was rather enjoyable, I was expecting another Ichika as well. The first thing I thought when I saw Claire was "SHANA!", lmao. I'm also getting Machine Doll wa Kizutsukanai vibes from this, except with spirits and not machine dolls.
I hope this is as good as High School DXD since it's done by the same studio and people. I'll definitely finish this through if it is.

This is feels like a combination of IS, Zero no Tsukaima and Seikoku Dragonar, but a lot better. The MC isn't weak nor is he like the typical harem leads.

Louis 2.0 that's a complete bitch character. Even though the MC seems somewhat competent. I despise her type of character and can't stand watching any further.

Wait, this is a toned-down version of her?! I thought she she seemed like an insufferable cow here; I don't want to see her in the manga if she's *worse* that that.

I tried reading the novels for this a while ago but i stopped after i finished the 2nd because i thought they were pretty meh but i want to give it another chance so i am watching the anime. I do kind of want to try the novels again as well since there are 13 whole novels translated so i hope the anime will get me in the mood to.

I am also looking forward to Est showing up next episode (i think it is next episode) since she is the best girl by far compared to the other 3 that were introduced this episode from my memory. I also remember that the MC from this was rather likeable compared to other MC's of this type of anime like Ichika rock for brains.

I was surprised when I discovered I had precognitive abilities. I was able to see at least five seconds into the future and was able to tell what was going to happen. "Oh it really happened!" and "she really said it!" I'm not happy though :/

Well it's only the first episode, I hope it'll get better. You watch a harem for the girls and I can tell it's going to be good (the female cast I mean) so I'm not holding my breath hoping the story would be good.

I really REALLY dislike Greyworth.

Seriously, enough with the 'manipulator with good intentions' cliche.

Unfortunately, I know that Kamito would get thrashed if he tried killing her, but hey, I can always dream, right? Why can't she be killed off in manga at least? :(

EDIT: Secondly....dear god, that classroom scene was terrible. It's like the producers/writers weren't even trying that hard anymore.
