Story(8)
Cavalry tends to come off as an anime that'll be your typical magical school, harem "Romance". But Cavalry breaks that mold, and creates a real romance. One that doesn't leave you upset by the end *cough* *cough* Asterisk *cough*. The story follows Kurogane Ikki(MC), as he struggles to prove to his family, who constantly attempted to sabotage him, that he can do anything if he works hard at it. To prove himself, he competes in the school's tournament in hopes to represent his school in the seven stars sword art festival.
Art/sound(8)
This art is soo vibrant, the colors just blend so well. The character designs are
...
ok, the animation did take a dip in quality but by the end of the series i didn't even care. I don't pay a lot of attention to sound but i'm in love with the opening.
Character(8)
Kurogane Ikki- Known as the "worst one" due to his magical power being so low. He is considered a failure by his family. But through hard work, he succeeds in showing how badass and OP he can be. He repeated his grade because of his family's influence ffs. This mc also earned my respect by actually picking a girl, i mean really, have you really ever seen that in your typical harem...
Stella Vermillion- The heroine, the princess of another country, and Ikki's girlfriend. I also forgot to mention she's a badass on her own. People want to refer to her as the tsundere, but i think she's just extremely shy. By episode 3 she already realizes her feelings for Ikki, and even attempts to ask him on a date.
Kurogane Shizuku- The only character i hate, really if you watch this you'll know why. Her only redeeming quality is how strong she is tbh. I really don't want to waste too much time or words on her...
Nagi Arisuin or Alice- He or she is like the advisor for the small group. He or she gives off an older sibling type of vibe. It's somewhat pleasant to have a character like this as it keeps our characters grounded. Did i mention to say that he refers to himself as a woman so it can get confusing on how to address him or her.
Enjoyment(9)
The fight scenes are great, the characters are lovable in their own right. This series can be cute/nice one minute, and be epic or badass the next. It takes a lousy critic to judge an anime based off 1 episode, it takes a good one to look at the series as a whole. But it takes an anime fan to look at a series for its enjoyability. Rakudai has that factor.
Overall(9)
This i one of my favorites of 2015, definitely top 10. I wouldn't say this is a masterpiece, but it's surely something to check out. Btw for those of you who aren't fans of ecchi anime, try Asterisk, less ecchi scenes with more or less better fight scenes.
