I really like this show as far as Demon Lord/Hero stuff goes. It's given more time to actually develop the setting than something such as Maouyuusha or Devil is a Part Timer.
That being said, a lot of the time it has the luxury of having is wasted on ecchi scenes. (I managed to find and watch the uncensored version, by the way). I don't have an issue with there being such lewd content in a cartoon like this but I really think it got in the way sometimes. There are just so many examples of contrived excuses for the main character and the girls
...
around them to start groping each other, and once more I learned later that they are actually technically having sex if you read the light novel or manga version. Instead of saving these for tender or emotional moments the story just likes to throw them literally in the middle of something else happening to divert from the plot. The Master/Slave pacts created by the succubus character is an acceptable, if not very weak way of explaining this stuff all happening at certain moments but everywhere else the relations just seem very hamfisted and forced, even for an ecchi harem. It's not like an ecchi harem has to be bad by default either, Tenchi Muyo! War on Geminar managed to do it pretty well and wasn't even as lewd.
So for my rating of this I've chosen to basically ignore most of the ecchi stuff because that's all just in the way of the plot, which is far more interesting. The story isn't the most cerebral you could find in a young adult cartoon, but I did enjoy the development it got and it's not half bad. I would recommend watching it just for that, and if there's a character you like to see getting groped that's nice too.
