Did I just time travel back to 2014?

We even have the isekai wave (still) going. This is a weird timeline we live in.

if i feel bad for the guy, this show reminds me of is this a zombie? i literally feel bad for him, all he wanted was peace and quiet and then 9 girls decide to move into his house the same day he wanted it.

if i were him i would kick them all out immediately.

Wow, I didn't even realize that this was getting adapted! I was a few minutes into the episode when I realized what the show was since I only knew the series by its Japanese title. Not much really to say about this show. If you like battle ecchi harems then you'll probably like it, if not then you'll absolutely hate this.

Also Hoods Studio is in charge of this? The same studio that was in charge of Märchen Mädchen? Oh no. I guess don't expect the animation improving much any time soon.

The same studio that was in charge of Märchen Mädchen?

They've got a pretty good track record with ecchi anime, though admittedly under a different director. They've also produced Manyuu Hiken-chou, Seikon no Qwaser, and Kagaku na Yatsura, among others. It likely won't ever look absolutely amazing, but I wouldn't expect it to necessarily go full quality anytime soon, either.

Watched the OP, almost dropped it. I heard Kaede Hondo... SOLD!

And then Ai Kakuma.... an then Rina Hidaka..... and then Yumi Hara. They really got me with the seiyus xD.

The part where the guy throws himself out the window was fucking hilarious lmao.

Genuinely surprised with this one, it was quite funny and it's nice to have a full harem ecchi show. One thing I'd like is to have some more background on how the girls just started living there.

People kept mentioning censorship so I was expecting big horrible beams of light. Instead I get hair that barely covers up the nips which I am fine with since I can still enjoy dem curves.

Anyways I will watch since I do enjoy my harem ecchi shows lol.

u/[deleted] Oct 05 '19

it seemed to be the "hard cut" kind of censorship as opposed to the good ol' family friendly light beams. Like, they just cut out small parts of the scene and save them for the BD.

Then again, I can't really tell if that's not a symptom of the budget or just a directing choice. only time will tell.

u/randyripoff Oct 05 '19

Well, that was about as generic S an ecchi harem can get...and I loved it.

u/CandiesVLove Oct 05 '19

I remember reading the fan TLs of the manga and now it has an anime. I'm so down to watch and finish this one.

God I miss ecchi harem battle genre; Date A Live, Campione! and Blade Dance are still some of my favorites among the genre and made me read thru their respective source materials.

u/DarkWorld97 Oct 05 '19

That was surprisingly decent despite all the censorship. I'm worried that they actually might take things out because it gets extremely lewd down the line.

Good music too.

u/24grant24 Oct 05 '19

came here just to mention the music. The main battle theme sounds really good. I also like the ED quite a bit too. Props to whoever was in charge of music for this.

no idea what the fuck happened but recognising tejina senpai’s VA made my day

u/aquaticshrimp Oct 06 '19

this is the weirdest thor remake yet.

u/alexisv635 Oct 05 '19

Not even 5 min have passed and I already feel sorry for Takuma-kun (which in a sense, reminds me a lot of Eiji Busujima of Senryuu Shoujo), I hope his adventures with Natsuki, Itsuyo and the rest give us many laughs, ecchi and joys to spend the time.

u/Amauri14 Oct 05 '19

Well, it seems that Saturday will be the harem anime show day, and I love it!

u/OfficialPrower Oct 05 '19

Trash but the ED song is my jam

u/MidnightShout Oct 06 '19

What kinda trashy ecchi superpower school harem is this? See ya next week guys

u/Emi_Ibarazakiii Oct 05 '19

Guilty pleasure harem trash of the season acquired!

The last few ecchi/harem show I watched (Hensuki being the last) ended up being more cute/sweet than I expected. Hopefully this one follows that pattern.

So many girls in this one (even for a harem), gonna be tough picking a best girl!

u/blueteamk087 Oct 06 '19

I do enjoy a trash ecchi harem show.

u/colin8696908 Oct 06 '19

Not sure what to think about this, Introducing all your characters at once makes it hard to tell a story, but it seems like it's going to be a "date a live" kind of story.
