A warning to those who hate when characters make stupid decisions. All the characters, although some are likable, have one major flaw. They are dumb. The plot only moves forward due to the characters making dumb choices and/or following dumb rules that this world has.

The world could have been interesting but those elements are skipped over in one or two episodes.

Should you watch the show or not? It really depends on your patience level, as I said, before the worst part of the show is the character stupidity, and the rules that the world is based on that are terrible and make no ... sense. Characters continually lie to each other, and no one suspects.

Also, I do not forgive the last episode that pulls the - there was a secret stuff happening all this time behind the scenes - trope.

This is a simple fun show. It fits the form of the genre.

I actually really enjoyed the characters and how their relationship develops. It has cute moments and over all is just a fun show. Nothing so good to write home about, but I enjoyed watching it and the animation made me light sometimes. Also the side characters and friends were very enjoyable.

I know this show came out years and years ago, but I would not mind a second season.

Ayano: Is a bit nuts but I did come to enjoy her.
Kazuma Yagam: He is a fun character, I like his sense ... of humor and not wanting to get pushed around.

This show falls in at about a 7.5 for me, it is fun but the pacing is a bit rushed. I like the characters but the main story doesn't really go anywhere or more complete sense. It could have used the more typical 25ish episode run. The characters are a high point but more time to flesh them out would have been nice.

This show in a lot of ways is a great primer for High School DXD, which is a more adult show. (except for the spoiler scene)

SPOILERS:

It was funny having characters kiss when so many shows have holding hands as a OMG moment. ...

The not-sex scene is so funny, because it even changes angles to prove there is not-sex happening.

Overall I enjoyed the show. The characters were interesting and enjoyable to watch interact.

Having finished the show, there was a lot left unanswered and I wish more had been put into the mystery of the world building.

SPOILER:

I greatly disliked the ending of the last episode. I enjoyed having the characters discovering different aspects of their humanity. However in the last moments of the final episode they turn Kisara into a "bad guy", when it appears she was fully justified and inline with what her stated goals were.

Also the one guy throwing the batteries away was stupid. I personally just hate that kind ... of stuff.

If you are looking for some silly fun in the Action, Harem, Ecchi space you will enjoy this show. If you take it too seriously you will undoubtedly hate it. It has some interesting ideas on free will, religion, politics; unfortunately, it doesn't have the time to expand or really say anything deep. I'm going to add my pro/con opinion below.

Pro:
Characters - I actually enjoyed the characters quite a lot, they had some fun personalities.
World Building - There is some decent world-building here and cool concepts.

Both of my pros are sadly let down a little by the shows con of pacing.


Con: ... Pacing - A lot happens in this show that is either not explained well or glossed over. The ending is a great example of this issue. The show could have been an easy 26 episodes to allow the fun characters to get far more development.
