This was a Masterpiece gone astray and cut short.. This setting pulls you back making your feel like this is your first time watching an anime again. It was a Shounen and I'm not sure why it isn't stated as such but that is no matter. There was soo much good in this anime the character dynamics were all very engaging, the art was visually appealing, the world gets revealed to the viewer with perfect pacing and I never could anticipate which tropes they were using until a little bit into seeing them. It captures the theme of being small in a big world and ... being weak yet also being strong in a delicate balance. I mean come on its obvious that every anime will use and reuse the same cliche's but this one did them well. It constantly tugs at your heartstrings and then surprises you with the behavior of the characters. It was very immersive taking you along a journey through a novel world and through the lives of many individuals who all had compelling backstories and mysteries. It constantly left the watcher wondering and in awe. The biggest thing is that it took old worn-out tropes and I didn't even realize because I was too focused on the things going on to care. It took me right back to the Chūnin Exams exams of naruto taking some simple characters and some complex and dynamic characters developing some and freezing others for a good balance and rotating through the characters giving the audience a good an in-depth experience with each one. I just wish I had had more content and there had been more episodes to get to the point where the main character would have had to have faced the moment where his development would take place. There was too much story left on the table. It shouldn't have been 13 it should have been 26 episodes. The ending was honestly very weak with the major conflict still left unresolved and the main character left still undeveloped when the rest of the anime had constantly whispered a promise that this character would do something groundbreaking. yet it never happens and we are left off with a clear lead into a sequel that may or may never come.

I've never felt more betrayed by an anime before. I'm sorry but there's simply no way to express just how disappointing this anime is without spoiling the ending. this went from an anime i was about to share with all of my friends to an anime i hope to never hear or talk about ever again.

the producers either needed to make this anime 24 or 12 episodes. either fully transition and develop the relationship between Taichi and Inaba or just leave it at Taichi and Iori. the moments where Taichi and Iori truly connected and had something so special and honest it made my ... heart soar. watching it i was on cloud nine and the 10 episodes were utterly magical. i was prepared to give this a perfect 10. then for no reason the story just kept going and the romance just feel trampled on and tossed into the garbage. the romance between Taichi and Iori was just thrown away so that they could finish developing Iori from being a people pleaser into being her own person. Instead they just destroy the highlight relationship, turn Iori into a weak pain in the ass that you just want to go away for being such a bitch and then sweep it under the rug by ending with her still being a people pleaser popular girl, Taichi and Inaba and now suddenly in love which is totally under developed and just feels forced, and all in all completely underwhelming. i just want to cry for how badly this ending went and on top of that they abandoned all of the perverted jokes so it wasn't even funny any more.

this anime needs a fucking funeral.

ways they could have fixed the anime:

1. end it at 12 episodes with a good romance between Yui <3 Aoki and Taichi <3 Iori right after they just conquered the most significant trials and leave it at that. i would have given it a 10

2. finish it off with a proper 24 episodes. admittedly with more episodes they have room to fill some of the remaining openings in the plot but in the process they destroy the magic of the first half of the anime and in only 17 episodes they don't have enough time to build it back up again. there was no satisfaction when Taichi and Inaba finally became a couple sense the scene was completely charged with the fall of Taichi and Iori's failed relationship with only the excuse that their relationship was a childish love. wtf their relationship was the strongest in the whole damn anime and they are calling it childish love???? they needed to work more development in between these two events to even break even on this travesty. even if they had it still would have only gotten a 7 or 8 out of ten at this point. this ending made sense but it didn't feel right.

the fact this anime has as high of a rating as it does proves that MAL's reviews are total garbage, and that its community is clueless. this anime had promise in the first few episodes introducing an interesting conflict but it starts developing plot holes quickly and lends you feel like the gold tribe are kinda idiots, despite that the anime rants and raves about how wise they were. ultimately it keeps this theme up talking up everything and showing the opposite. it talks about th danger of the combat but then you just watch the hero's destroy the enemy like they are swatting flies. ... then its combat scenes are nothing but jargon from the ships captian; he goes on and on about useless dialogue including "send all forces to line three" what ever that means because the never show anyone moving to any lines and its in space so where would lines even be? ultimately half of the combat scenes are just useless wastes of time and it loses all tension. followed by the hero covered in plot armor jumping in front of giant lasers because i can do anything im in a magic mech suit, then the hero destroys the bug enemies without regard for them but then he has a mission to kill other people in similar mechs attack him and he just sits there hugging them not attacking them at all. like why isn't he using the same attacks on the mech enemies that he is on the bug enemies. there are so many logic holes that the story better resembles swiss cheese. and this garbage has higher ratings that actually good anime. im utterly dumbfounded. maybe it has some kind of crazy come back like tri gun had after episode three but im not patient enough to wait past episode 7 to find it.

A Promising story with terrible delivery, average art, poorly placed music clips, dreadful characters with ridiculous and shallow narratives, and utterly annoying presentation all this anime is is a massive disappointment of what it could have been. i wanted to like this but it just kept pissing me off with stupid choices and neglectful writing. the main charter is an incompetent buffoon who could have easily been fixed with slight tweaks, his dragon is just stupid useless and annoying the entire time over using the excessively violent little cute girl cliche, there is the gutless female love interest who's shining moment is standing naked in ... front of a crowd of people and suddenly she is a hero and not a total loser, then there are a bunch of forgettable supporting characters who you feel were added just to give it the harem aspect and light comedy. also tentacles because fan service!

i fear i may need therapy after watching the first few episodes.... turn the cringe to 11. i don't even know why im letting my horny ass drag my screaming and crying sense of rationality through this. i know its meant to be totally situationally ironic to normal every day high school romance but gosh its soo bad. the joke is that its all so bad, and i wanna bury my face in the sand from it. but then it gets better after a few episodes and shows a tender side. then it actually starts getting funny. dang it now i actually like this anime..

Perhaps the most endearing part of this anime was that it was relatable and rather honest and it didn't rely parlor tricks or on making all of the characters clueless and excessively violent for its comedy, sure it had a little bit of that, but it wasn't excessive to the point of being mundane. Also there was this hilarious yandere element which I've never seen in a comedy anime before this and i was totally anticipating Ako Tamaki to start killing people which added a great element of tension which was resolved as they developed her character further. Also for being an ecchi anime the ... main male protagonist wasn't an obnoxious pervert nor was it focused on being overly pandering. it was just over all well balanced.

To rate it: the story was average, the art was nice, the sound was decent, the characters were well done and it was over all really enjoyable.

I've watched several romantic comedies that were total garbage being neither funny nor even developing the romance and this anime delivered on its promises. Its not an exquisite story but it was entertaining. This was a light hearted ecchi romantic comedy game anime and while there are a plethora of this genre this was a good example of how to do comedy right and i was giggling all the way through. Could have gone for more diversity in the bust size department as they only offered extra large and extra small but honestly this anime was pretty great. Also Akane Segawa / Schwein is my waifu!

completely lack basic story elements. has no purpose except to give fan service to food lovers. each episode follows the exact same formula with no hint of deviation. person finds door person eats food at restaurant and has their mind blown person leaves restaurant. this anime does not have an over arching story, it does not have character development, it lacks plot development its boring as sin, all it is is a repeat of literally exactly the same scene with slightly different characters with slightly different back stories but none of it builds anything within the world. watch one episode and enjoy the general format ... and you've seen them all. no need to continue watching. and one episode of the anime is good but when its just a repeat of that same content over and over again it just makes me shake my head that this anime could get the rating it has. this isn't a hidden gem its the death of quality story telling.

This is a Masterpiece with a few flaws.. multilayered story telling, purposeful symbolism, foreshadowing events, constant character development, and artistically immaculate. were it not for a few scenes that were slightly rushed and events/dialogue that is forced this would be a perfect piece of art. i can't give it a 10 but i want to.. with universal themes of romance, companionship, overcoming adversity, acceptance and hope are each expressed by symbols and elaborated by the story's plot and there wasn't a frame wasted. every part of this story was put there to make the rest of the story better in a way that few anime ... ever accomplish. underlying questions are asked and answered and even the rushed parts and forced parts are used to build themes of the plot and there is clear defining contrast between action and every day life of the characters. i can't wait to complete this story and can't comprehend how an uncultured swine could rate this lower than a 8. go back to a literature appreciation class because this story is brilliant.

this is nothing but cliche's, and plot holes with dry slap stick comedy and half assed romance(queue the laughter track). don't waste your time watching this stupid anime. it was simple and straight forward trash. i went into this hoping it would carry at least the mediocre content of the of the former and instead it drops all of the romantic development from the previous season and starts over again. as if we want to watch the same cringe inducing bantering that took them too long to realize their feelings all over again. the main charicter is pathetic and useless wearing obvious plot armor made ... of enchanted diamonds. a summary of this anime: something bad happens, the main character says we should help, the supporting character says grr i don't want to, they slap each other a few times and then the support give in and they magically find a way to fix things. rinse and repeat.

i swear if i read one more review from a hipster complaining about cliches i'm going to flip a table. this story is in the drama, and romance genre if you watch it expecting no cliches then i hope you eat a bitter apple. personal comments aside it took story elements normally overly glorified in other media and toned it all down. you expect the world to fall apart for the characters and it doesn't and the characters are incredibly deep hiding their true feelings in the scenes yet the audience knows what they really feel. This anime destroyed the typical cliches by turning them ... on their head! it approached the scenes with an air of maturity not found in any other romance i have ever seen. i don't like this genre but i loved this series. its slightly lack luster but its over all an exceptional story. this story had me gripped at every scene with anxiety expecting the worst and being happily surprised.
