In terms of animation quality, they stayed faithful to the manga character designs so that's a bless. Rokudou and his friends are protrayed as fools in the beginning. There's some cartoony humor similar to the manga as well.

Ranna showing up is also such a delight and she protrays a tough exterior for her personality. While I'm not a fan of Rokudou, I do like how the VA protrayed his personality to match his character in the manga. Decent start.

Mangaka Yuuji Nakamura's rom-com manga has been running for quite long and finished in 2021, so a complete adaptation could be possible.

The bullied Tousuke Rokudo in Amori High made up of delinquents, but backed with his friends of Colonel Masaru Hinomoto and Chief Kota Kijima who faces the brunt of the bullying, being fascinated at thighs like Haruya Iinuma's girl Tsubaki Tachibana. But back at home, the mysterious heirloom of an ancient Heian period, Onmyouji magic-laden scroll that Rokudo's deceased grandfather left him with, it's a godsend of power...of what? With girls suddenly showing compassion for Rokudo, it can be easily misunderstood, but with Tsubaki's apology, it seems genuine that something is going on...and that is having bad girls fall in love with him, harem style.

Clearly, the retro sukeban chick is also into Rokudo, and Ranna Himawari is not the one-girl show delinquent that even he wants to deal with. Even Iinuma's thugs have a depressing time after being dealt with her, and for the sake of enjoying school life...Ranna would protect him instead, instead of the promise that Rokudo would man up and protect her, starting with his 1-on-1 duel with Iinuma.

Decent little series, though it's for the delinquent harem amusement.

God the artstyle is fucking horrible lol. And you're telling me a dude with such face, somehow evolved into a chick magnet, lmaooooo. No, just no. Either way sasuga grandpa, leaving such a convenient spell behind.

Nothing stands out for this series, in a good way, nothing at all for now.

I really like the concept of a gyaru/delinquent harem and thought this first episode was funny. A loser at a school full of delinquents protected by girls is fire.

But I just can’t get with the art style man. If this had any type of decent art it would really be special.

Oh I like this! Rokudo reminds me of Takemichi from Tokyo Revengers, physically weak, but strong heart.

Bad Girls need love too and that's the main selling point of this series. The character designs have a early 2000s look to it which makse it retro by today's standard. It just so happens that Rokudo came across a spell that makes all the hot bad girls fall in love with him. The potential harem shenanigans allows Rokudo and his friends from being bullied by the delinquents at his school. More importantly Rokudo has manged to get the fearsome Ranna Himawari to fall for him in his class. This draws suspicion from Haruya who feels like something strange is going on and has threaten to beat up Rokudo. Rokudo tries to stand up for himself by calling out  Haruya, but will Ranna sit by and watch Rokudo get beaten to a pulp?

When looking at the artstyle for this series, it feels like it's a cheap parody of anime that sometimes is shown in other actual anime. I have not read the manga but this whole episode did not click with me when it comes to first impressions.

The art quality was surprisingly lacking, looked quite poo. I thought that Satelight were a decent studio? Maybe they only put in the effort for their Originals like Macross and Symphogear?

I totally dig the early 00 aesthetic of this series. The goofy delinquent parody premise on the other hand feels like some from the late 80s/early 90s. On paper this is my cup of tea 💯. The first was enjoyable and I hope it remains that way.

THIS WAS FUN FUN FUN!!!!!!   I got my comedy void filled after Nagatoro 2nd season and my Tomo is a Girl for this season!!! 

Ranna is a BEAUTY

I noticed that the source material (manga) is completed with 233 chapters.   Hopefully they can adapt it all in 26 episodes (assuming that would be enough).

Satelight didn't have as much success after mid 2000s. They probably have a smaller budget and less experienced staff at hand. There's an episode of Trash Taste podcast featuring Ken Arto, and he said once that when he came to Japan to practice animation, most studios rejected fresh animators with little experience. However, he was taken in by none other than Satelight and spent some time there. So I guess they have a decent bunch of less experienced people there and, logically, no one is going to give huge titles like Chainsaw Man or even just bigger ones like Nagatoro-san to a studio with such vague and inconsistent production staff. And it shows, the backgrounds are very basic, secondary objects are drawn subpar to what even smaller modern studios do. And that's in the first episode, which is supposed to make a good impression.
However, I'd still watch it in case the story somehow gets good, just give these guys a chance. Frankly, I started watching it just because I respect the job they have done on Macross F.

I originally had this show picked, removed it, and then I picked it again lol, but man I’m glad I decided to check it out after all because I thought this was really fun. The fact there were gonna be a lot of “bad girls” in this show had me interested already and the fact Rokudo has the power to make them fall for him made this an instant hit for me, a harem full of bad girls was too good to pass up lol, and it’s already resulted in some really funny moments, like Tsubaki’s change in attitude and making Rokudo her phone background, as well as Ranna’s personality flips lol.

And I want to mention how much I like the art style, it’s very unique looking and also immediately grabbed me, the animation isn’t the greatest but it’s worked so far for sure. And lastly I want to mention I like the Colonel guy, he stands out and I’m totally not biased because we share the same name lol, Rokudo and his friends are pretty fun in general too, I know a lot of folks don’t like wimpy MCs but I think it’s a fun dynamic here. And the OP and ED are both very good, I liked them both a lot, I don’t think I’ve heard from those groups before either. Definitely looking forward to more of this, I think this could be a hidden gem this season!

Edit after reading other posts: a shame some folks aren’t into the art style, but that’s art for you, it’s not gonna satisfy everyone. I for one love it lol.

Reminds me of early 2000's animes with wacky concepts. Despite what some people say I actually like the art style, I think the cartoonish style is a breath of fresh air from what I usually see. I love Rudoku's and his friends designs. They have a three amigos vibe going on and I love it. Ranna has a "he asked for no pickles vibe."

That was fun first episode! Anyone else feel like there is a great amount of strong girls this season? 

I know many people disagree, but I love the artstyle for this one. It's supposed to be quirky comedy, so it fits perfectly! 
There wasn't much story yet, but most of the characters and dialogue are funny. Rinna and her dual personality is hillarious. I liked Colonel and Chief too! 
Rokodou needs to "control" his power more though. Telling Rinna to get beaten up is not good, he should've known she'd take it so seriously. He won't make her happy by getting crushed himself either. I hope he matures over the course of the show.

I didn't know anything about this show until today when I saw its name on that torrent site and out of curiosity I looked it up on MAL... and here I am.

It seems we have more cultured guys this season. Tsubaki's thighs looked nice.

Colonel... you make me doubt that you are a high school student xD.

Ranna's gap moe is incredible <3.

The premise is interesting and sounds fun and this first episode was actually fun but let's see if it keeps me entertained the whole season.

FINALLY!!!
I've waited since like 2016 for an anime adaptation of this manga! And it's finally here!!

Not sure how I feel about the Opening so far, but the Ending is an absolute BOP!
I was back checking with the manga and they adapted chapters 1-3 in this episode, but they didn't skip over anything major at all. To be fair, the manga isn't a very wordy manga so we might fly through the volumes in no time. I think they toned down the blood slightly in some scenes, but they kept it in for the scene where Rokudo first meets Ranna, so it might be fine going forward. (I know that they censored some background characters smoking, but this is less of a studio decision and more to do with TV regulations forbidding the depiction of minors smoking.)

Also can I just mention how adorable Ranna is in this adaptation. The voice actress was on point!

Cannot wait for future episodes!!

Rokudou's definitely cowardly but the end of this episode shows some change! Proud of him. Also Ranna definitely is built different. She was willing to get beat up to not break her promise.

Plot sounds like hentai. Girls under "hypnosis" are ready to do anything for the sake of a hero. The only difference is that the guy doesn't seem to want to use it, and besides, he's not a ugly bastard.

Damn, this shit feels like such a 70's/80's throwback; they even poke fun at how out of fashion the sukeban look is. 

I hope it goes the battle harem route for some extra old school points.
