OK, I have mixed feelings on this one.
Most people are probably watching this for the soft porn basically. Super ecchi.
HOWEVER, the second half of the series actually becomes somewhat enjoyable and dare I say.... good. The main objective for Lucifer is a little more complex than what it seems at first. There are some plot twists.

With echi as the driving element, I cannot recommend this to anyone really, but if you get past that element, its actually kinda decent.
(I rate the characters themselves very high because they each stand out in their appropriate areas of personality. So it seems fitting.

SPOILER: ...
It is an interesting spin to basically put heaven as the bad guys in the end and the demon lords as the good guys.

I'm not yet finished with the show but I am a good half way or more into it. I like it a lot.

The problem with so many of the harsher critiques is that they don't seem to know how to just enjoy things. If I wanted to I could critique this series down to the point that it becomes not worth watching even if nothing else was on. I could do that to any show.

The main character Izetta is a witch in this WWII era. This is fine because it is NOT some moe magical girl transformation cliche.

Perhaps I'm just a hopeless ... simpleton, but what I see when I watch this is a cool World War era time period with all the trimmings; tanks, planes and soldiers. You have a cliche plot line of one kingdom/territory invading another. The only difference here is this witch who is fighting for the losing side. She has magic powers that even come with an explanation as to how they work and what her limitations are.

I mean come on, she flies on a giant rifle. How cool is that?
And the best part of all is that it's not clogged up with pointless ecchi filler like Infinite Stratos is.

I started watching this because I play the phone game for it.
Then when I saw that Sonia was a "main" character I just had to watch it even more.
But here I am making this review after having watched 25 episodes of this show and I can't find much positive to say.

It has that happy-go-lucky flare that Pokemon uses with the main characters being naive and overly childish.
I expected this to be a bit more kid oriented to begin with, but still, at least Pokemon was actually fun to watch.

This show feels like a happy go lucky training montage where enough ... friendship power will most likely overcome all.

But after 25 episodes, Sonia has had about 10 minutes of accumulated screen time and never did more than act as mysterious observer.

Going to see this through to the end, but I no longer have high hopes.
