Maybe 6 or maybe even lower because even though the women are super hot, fanservice is not very apparent here.

You want my opinion? If when you see this kind of anime and you automatically have this kind of mindset, don't waste your time watching even the first episode

are you implying that i don't watch the most generic anime each season lol? like i haven't been doing that throughout the entire isekai/fantasy boom? lol

and why would i skip a series not only with such sexy looking women but also being done by Passione obviously one of my favorite current studios????

come on man, smh 😂😂😂😂😂

And as I said previously, if you are willing to appreciate it for what it is , you are gonna enjoy it. If you are still interested read the Synopsis here.

The source material is very solid and the production for this anime is perfect for this kind of anime adaptation(and of course the goat Passione is one of the reason why I think this way). Very confident that they will succeed and I am sure those who are able to properly appreciate the source material are gonna have a great time with this anime. !!!
