Oh man, that sure was one hell of a first season. Every episode was just crazy over the top and fun to see. Lots of laughs, a bit of seriousness here and there and making use of some tropes in hilarious ways. Truly not a moment of boredom. The harem has become more of a family than anything and judging by the season 2 announcement and the final minute or so 5 more girlfriends are on their way.

The show worked because the insanity felt consistent, and for the most part not mean. Although I would say off the bat that it had one kind of mean part, which was the older female teach that kind of felt like she was dehumanised for her age and assaulted male students. Could have done without that part, or at least something could have felt less icky. All the same with that I kind of liked that the last member of the harem we got in the first season was a milf, a mother of one of the other girls, as problematic as it sounds. Signs also pointed to her being more openly bi. We also got some nice crossdressing and some inter-harem making out.

I had become kind of done with harems in the last several years, but enjoyed it here. I do think it is a bit of that feeling like a family thing, and also not feeling too serious, like Date A Live. A lot on Rentaro too, who is like the exact kind of ridiculous harem lead needed to make this work, being all loving.

My rating will be Good (7/10), worth seeing, and would be fascinated if it manages to hold itself together going into a second season, where it looked like we got quick hints at the next girls.
