Good first episode, introduction to the whole system. Quite energetic, and nice to know that there are some twists and turns. Good animation too btw, wondering where the OP at though

It is indeed generic harem but it was more amusing that Hidan no Aria AA for example so lets get a few more episodes and see if it can still be entertaining no matter how generic it is.

Another school-action-panty-harem. Wasn't half bad though and kept the action moving nicely.

It's absolutely terrible. The characters too. I can't stand the "ooh-lets-build-suspense-by-telling-his-sister's-story-really-slowly" ploy either. We all know she got FUBAR in some really generic behind the curtains political game, and that that Claudia was actually her best friend.

The flowers were very nicely drawn though, and I liked the teacher's character.

This anime seems pretty great so far...but why does it have to be so echi ughh
the art styles remind me of SAO quite a bit and the plot is pretty generic too but it entertaining enough to make me keep watching it

Ecchi is good too. What we need is a good character development and a story.

I felt a deja-vu watching this ep. And one thing I don't get is why they name a character so royal european name that nobody in VAs can pronounce properly....

Pretty okay start, nothing too fancy or unique but still entertaining with the action and slight ecchiness.

Either way let's see what this anime will offer us.

Only character I liked was Claudia. She was fun to watch. How she boldly pulls up her shirt and pronounces her name.

Julis didn't really interest me, her character design is pretty but her personality is too generic.

SUPER GENERIC. BUT, the music is pretty good. And as long as it makes me interested or laugh, I'll stick with it

Pretty much what you`d expect from a generic LN adaptation`s first ep, but why was the teacher holding a baseball bat??

A pretty generic first episode with all the troupes imaginable, but the animation seems pretty good and it looks like a lot of fun, so I guess I'm gonna dive in!

Dat blood.
Dat pink pantsu.
Big ass skirt that reaches her oppai. What?
Dat tight ass. Dat patsu line.
Wow. She played us. Dude brings her her belongings, she thanks him, and still tries to kill him for seeing her body unintentionally. Rude.
She challenged him to a duel. Oh, yeah! Children's card game.
What? Just a sword battle. Darn.
lol at the dude who threw the weapon.
Dat squeezed.
lol at Ayato getting called a bastard.
Dat tight ass.
Hello, Claudia. Dat oppai.
She's jiggling her oppai in your face. Thats the sign to just call her Claudia.
SUGOI! Dem vagina bones. Dat purple pantsu. Dat under oppai.
It was just a joke? LAWD! Claudia is waifu already.
Dat wraparound. Dat lovely oppai on his back.
Why she got the bat in his face like that?
Of course he sits next to her.
Ayato knew the weapon belonged to Yabuki based on his voice.
Dem flames.

Awesome song. Claudia is best girl.

Hmm, I didn't see any of that coming. /s

It actually wasn't a bad start though. I haven't watched harem anime in a long time so this is a bit refreshing if only all too familiar.

Well so far so awful. Main girl is a total bitch and everything is so clichee that I don't even know where to start. Can only get better from here on.

I've watched Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry first, and yeah, they both started similar way... Pink hair girl with fire power and a swordsman protagonist, just this one look more futuristic.

Not too bad, I can see the resemblance to Chivalry of a Failed Knight. Again I see haters whining about LN Tropes, personally if you don't like it, change the channel. πŸ“Ί

So far so good! Julis and Claudia are nice looking waifus. The ecchi is nice too. He's managed to explore plenty of Junis' body within an episode. hehe

That quick fight looked cool too.

damn, people sure are quite divided about this series, so far I am having a good time with it. However, I'm quite intrigued as I looked at the free previews of the of the manga/light novel, and I am very intrigued and interested on where things continue to go from here. Art looks nice, music is cool, character designs are nice, Julis-Alexia is JUST SO PEAK, and Ayato is pretty good at combat. Ayato for sure had no bad intentions returning that handkerchief despite Julis being half dressed, frantically apologizing and looking remorseful. However after claiming back her handkerchief and expressing gratitude, she casts a large fire blast, which Ayato was able to avoid. Pretty insane Ayato took on the big fireball head on during the duel with his own sword skill and getting Julis down to protect her from some fire bullet shot from somewhere else. Strange how when Ayato and Julis were down, one of Ayato's hands is on the grass and the other on one of Julis' hands, yet on the next cut, one of his hands is all of a sudden on her chest?? Nice inconsistency.

Is Claudia just freaky with every new transfer student or what, first she talks about showing some burn mark near her pants then just randomly going behind Ayato and hugging him? I randomly thought that Claudia would be downloading/scanning Ayato's abilities and stats or something, but guess not, she's being a joker for some reason. Oh and Claudia bailed Ayato out with the ploy that he has paperwork to do, voiding the duel between Julis and Ayato. Ayato is also searching for whereabouts of his sister while having no interest in the entertainment battles after Claudia talked about wanting him to become skilled enough to beat the other 5 schools and reach the top. Ayato in the same class as Julis while Ayato makes a new friend named Eishirou. Strega Genestella are rare and have magic powers. Looking forward to the next episode
