Don't let the art and the uninspired intro to turn you off. Its predecessor may have better art but this remake/reboot is superior in terms of pacing and cohesion of story. This anime does a great job at making a relatively simple story enjoyable to watch. The ones who created this work did a great job fleshing out each character making them stand out and unique. This is more of a romance anime rather than a harem. Some criticisms: The intro is boring and could use a little bit more creativity. The background art is inferior to the original anime. (The character designis better though)
