Review of Walkure Romanze

I almost rage quit this show at the end of episode 2 when they explained the rules for jousting, let me explain. For safety reasons it is illigal to hit the opponents helmet, you will get a penalty if you do. This is fine, it's a realistic rule to have if jousting became a modern sport however, they put the "automatic-win-if-you-hit-it" feather on the helmet! And they for some reason do not use shields! Now this makes no sense from a safety point of view and completely pulled me out of the story. If you can overlook the logical inconsistencies and the poor CGI horses there isa decent anime here. The art is fine and most of the girls are cute but nothing special. There is fanservice but most of it is toned down and there isn't the classic over the top reaction when the mc stumples into a naked girl, which is refreshing.

There is an actual basic character development arc for most of the main characters, which is rare for shows labeled Harem and Ecchi.

What is mostly did for me was make me think how much I would enjoy watching jousting instead of any of the other boring Equestrian (horse) sports at the Olympics.
