Julis and Ayato was so close for a kiss damn, this one of the part that i really hate Harem, when they're about to kiss, something always happens, if they don't even kiss or get together in the 2nd season, i'm going to give this show under average because of the Harem genre, i just wanted to give this show a try, well if we take Harem out of it i will give this season a 8/10 kinda enjoyed the fighting scenes at the end, but because of the harem i'm going to give it a 5/10 at this season, as i said above, if they don't get together i'm going to give it under average at the 2nd season.

Eh. Meh. I prefer Rakudai Kishi more than this. I feel I wasted my time on this anime.

Not that I really care, but how did every single enemy in the show go,"oh he can only last 5 minutes." Like that is such bullshit, it couldn't be that his final attack took a lot out of him, maybe he injured himself!? Idk, the bullshit just pisses me off

Dat rubble. Dat blood. When it all! When it all falls down!
Dat insert OP.
LMAO at that power up. WTF at Ayato's face. Reminds me of a certain anime that aired in the same season and on the same date as Asterisk.
LMAO His secrets out.
Claudia comes rushing in to see her future husbando.
Motorboat Kirin's oppai.
SUPER KAMI GIGA MOTORBOAT CLAUDIA'S LOVELY OPPAI!
Let Claudia nurse you and let her stay the whole night. Don't screw this up, Ayato.
Dat post credit scene.

It was an okay ending. Claudia proving once again that she is best girl and she will continue to be in the future.

Very good anime series and I will be watching season 2 now. I give the show a well deserved 8/10 as all the characters were well fleshed out and memorable. Julis was very cool and had just a touch of jealousy that showed every now and then but it didn't dominate her character and make her seem like a total Tsundere. Saya was very cute and I have a soft spot for the quiet introverted types....her and Julis share top spot as my favorites. Not a huge fan of the hesitant type like Kirin, but even she was a cool character in my book as they didn't overdo it.

It was totally cool to see Ayato destroy Irene's Gravi-sheath before it totally consumed her as I believe that would have been the eventual outcome had it not been destroyed. It almost made her kill her sister when it took control, a weapon that malevolent that turns the user into a sort of vampire needs disposing of. Hopefully Irene will get a bit of a role in season 2 as she was also quite enjoyable and now being free of the influence of the Gravi-sheath should be able to become friends with the rest more easily.

What a nice way to end season 1, last episode and this was were very enjoyable to watch! The series does improve alot from the first couple of episodes, I just think the main problem is that most of the harem cast (aside Claudia, she is always a joy) suffers when they are not the focus of the plot, what I mean is whenever they was an episode focused on Julis, she would shine everytime, once it is over, meh.
Same for most of the girls, Kirin was a best girl on her arc, but with that over, she just lost her charm to me, the anime fails to bring it out, outside her character arc, there needs to be a better balance on this.

Visuals for S1 were decent, with some surprising fighting sequences here and there, a nice ED and overall an enjoyable cast of girls, I only found Saya really lacking, devoid of any charming feature to her.

Eager for S2!

7.8/10

Ayato needs to hurry up and take Claudia up on her offer. Imagine how many nights he could have spent with her if he had!

I'm pretty satisfied with how this first season ended. I'm mildly surprised that they actually got to the Festa tournament. Compared to the many LN adaptations that stop significantly short of the main events they're building up to, that's a significant improvement. The fights were also consistently cool too. My favorite had to be the first duel between Kirin & Ayato. The swordplay was just really captivating.

Thought I'd put S2 off for a bit, but I'm definitely going to get to it soon. 7/10

No surprise until the end, Ayato of course finishes it himself and everyone sees his weakness. Overall the usual harem story with a dense and boring protagonist. 3/10

Definitely an entertaining show. The fights were quite decent even if they often felt rushed. I really loved the OP and ED, very catchy both of them.

So Ayato and Julis managed to beat Irene and made a step forward to the second half of the festa. It's sad that Ayato is handicapped because of his seal. But maybe he can solve this problem in season 2. The biggest problem in his future fights will definitely be the fact that everyone knows about his weakness only be able to fight for 5 minutes on his highest level.

So that Eberwein guy really knew the sister of Ayato. And is it just me or is the guy at the end the same Ayatos sister fought and lost against? The will be exciting to see.

Damn that was close. Julis almost had a chance for a kiss. Oh well at least Ayato got his harem treatment :D

It's not like I want Rance to be the lead in a harem show, but dang Ayato, be at least a little more assertive here.

Not a bad first cour for this show I'm hoping we'll get more romantic development between Ayato and his harem in the next one.
Please don't feed the trolls!

Another shitty LN adaptation with bad characters (Ayato is basically Kirito's less edgy brother), half baked story, adding vampires & mechas to entertain you for brief seconds and no world mechanics, technology, Genestella or culture explained.

Ayato literally got his face smothered in boobs by 3 girls in this episode.


2/10..Stop A1, your embarrassing yourself.


I'm going to rate this as a 4/10 on the whining scale. You didn't really let us know how this adaptation that was made without your permission caused your cat's constipation and made you weep into your Edward Elric full body pillow, but it was a good try.

This rates a SOLID 8/10 on the LN Only Whiner Scale, maybe pressing for a 9/10

I've found that Anime based on a long, complex LN need to be creative if they're going to be entertaining and fit the story into 1 or 2 seasons. the more the LN fans shriek and whine over an anime tells me that the adaptation was pretty creative. I have found that if you read a book that you really like, DON'T WATCH THE VIDEO ADAPTATION. Simple as that. Don't believe me? Try The Hobbit on for size. People who never read the book loved it. 'nuff said.

I've found in the Astrisk War that the characters were fairly well developed, and they dragged out the romance between Ayato and Julis unlike Chivalry of a Failed Knight where Ikki and Stella resolved their relationship quite early.

The only failing I've seen in this anime is the lack of eechi, the eechi we've seen is typical, walked in when a girl was changing, lost bikini top at the pool, same old same old. We need more creative eechi.

Aww man! It's too bad they couldn't kiss. That could've been a good way to end this season.

I envy Ayato so much. I want to plant my face on their chests too!

It's the entertaining kind of generic show. The characters were likeable and the fights were cool. Also, I like it whenever they have to guess each other's strengths and weakness in a fight. 8/10

so he gets thrashed pretty good by the vampire girl and everyone jumps right to the conclusion that he must he a 5 minute time limit. get the fuck out of here, it's so unbelievable it's irritating. having a time limit actually seems pretty far fetched (let alone knowing prety much all the caveats of his skill) when all the most probable reasons for him writhing in pain are considered before the improbable. Basically, no one would ever actually jump to that conclusion based on this episode and this episode alone.
