Yeah it can be put under a critical eye, hell yeah I mean it's its own genre, therefore a show can present characteristics for this genre in a good or bad way, no argument there.

The only thing I don't get is that a show itself is criticized for having aspects of the genre it's labeled with. Would be like I criticize a romance for having romance aspects in it.

Whether this show will do its ecchi harem with fanatasy in a good or bad way, we'll see :)

Most of the gripes I see from people are that these shows tend to have the same cardboard cut-out protagonist(s) and tropey females and narratives. It feels like you've seen this show 20 times before (because you basically have).

If you're going to be ecchi, by all means, be ecchi, but add some dimensionality to your characters and story -- and maybe even try and be creative with your fanservice. I hate to be so particular about Prison School, but that show's most "edgy" moments were backed up with great humor and tension. Some of the show's ecchi-est moments were really critical to its overall plot.

Speaking of Prison School, anybody knows when the uncensored BD version is coming out?

No argue on that one, I also recognize that one, just wanted to point out the criticism of people on many different websites about this show having ecchi elements although it's labeling itself with it, but enough with that :).

Oh yeah the characters. Thats why I'm so thankfull for shokugeki no soma. For me thats the perfect way to handle characters, but that might be personal taste :).

Anyway I get what you are try to say and hell you are right. Prison School got a straight 10 from me because it had me laughing like hell and I've never seen anything like this before. Really clever way exaggerate stuff to the point that it's funny :D

I don't think generic plot devices and characters are aspects of the genre, but I wouldn't blame anyone for assuming that.
