| Finally, I'm done with that thing. That wasn't horrible, but that wasn't good either. Well, a little quick "review" just to sum up my impressions (don't have the courage to make big phrases) : Pros : -Of course Kurumi. The only real complaint I would have regarding her would obviously be her lack of anything ressembling a closure but that's why I'll watch the following seasons. For the rest, well she really is a surprisingly good character. Her design is great, her voice is too, her power is very cool to see (though quite confusing), she is very charismatic and entertaining and has a really interesting personality with some good depth that I can't wait to see explored. Of course, if nothing truly receives any explanation by the end my opinion on her character will change (that'd be a shame) but for now really, it's all good. -The opening is good, I like it. -Some of the osts are also good. -Some jokes made me laugh. -I like Yoshino's design as a spirit. Cons : -The rest of the cast. I despise them. Especially Origami who I want to bury into the ground, and Tohka who I'm gonna put next to her. Well, to be fair, the others aren't THAT bad. (Especially Yoshino, I don't dislike her.) But aren't they stereotypical... I can't even say the execution made up for it. Oh, and they're also inconsistent. And seriously, Shido's a pedo ? He is a pedo right ? WHY IS NO ONE ACKNOWLEDGING IT ?! Also, I forgot : why does Mana even exist ? What's the point of her character ? -The animation is quite bland. It's not the worst I've ever seen but it's bland nonetheless. -The show tries too hard to be deep. The only character it actually works for is, as usual, Kurumi. But the others just don't at all have a personality that fits this kind of tone. It just makes it look ridiculous and cliché. -The story is boring. Aside from Kurumi, the one thing that actually made me curious about this show was the premise because it sounded like a parody of harem which I thought had the potential to be quite fun. Turns out the show actually takes this premise seriously. So I give it 4/10. It had the potential to receive at least 5 and maybe even 6 if it made a bit more efforts, but it didn't. |

| Kotori arc was my least favorite, but still decent. Awkwardly paced, especially towards the end. Aside from that it was really a fine watch all in all. I hope the other seasons will provide similar enjoyment or more. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Only the second half was good for me, overall I'd give this a 6. More Kurumi next season please. |
| This guy walk without direction!!! kekeke I see you in the second season!!! |
| Not sure why I even watched this... All the girls seem so lifeless although I do like Yoshino. She's the only one who feels like she has at least a little bit of a personality. |
 |
| Story is weak. The drive for everybody is lacking as well. Seems to have a hard time of choosing a tone as well. Still entertaining though. Should probably just embrace the slice of life comedy fanservice for what they really are. |
| It was an ok anime, it had its good moments, like episode 6 which I found very funny and the fight against Kurumi which was very cool. :'3 |
 |
| origami is so fucking annoying gross. |

| So I guess we got some progression as the "phantom" seems to be the bad guy of the story |
