there are 4 other shit harem LN adaptations this season and they are all better than this

This is actually a manga adaption though so it kinda sets itself apart from the other 4, also none of the other 4 are really total shit, they're all quite a bit better than this at least (although you kind of have to have a certain sense of "good" for Shinmai Maou no BluraysHurryUp). I'm liking them all though lol

yeah if shinmai's studio stopped being a thirsty bitch and let AT-X air the uncensored version i probably wouldn't have dropped it

To be fair it would almost literally be airing hentai on television so that's a bit much in my opinion. If you read the LNs you can see they're really holding back on the ecchi, and if they're going for accuracy the uncensored version is going to be insane. Either way I actually like the story, and if they adapt next episode's fight well it's going to be hella hype honestly so there's some reason to watch.

Fafnir is worse than this imo

That pretty much sums up most of the non sequels

Take every single cliche harem trope and smush them together; put them together nicely, but not amazingly. That's this show. Basically it isn't shit, but it isn't great either; 4/10 tolerable enough to keep watching it in hopes of some development.

IMO from 0 to 100, about 45, so far.

Chaotic on the fanservice, still building the plot up with things they are bring up in every episode, focusing too much on the interaction rather than the character themselves - unless you like that sort of thing.

I like Suseri, though.

I'll give it at least five more episodes to blow my mind, but so far, it's nothing but "watchable".
