The word bland describes this Anime well. I don’t have issues with the art style having watched quite a few older series which employ the art style used yet utilizing such a simple style actually makes errors stand out even more. Everything feels like the characters were done by someone still learning the craft. What I don’t know is whether this is the fault of the animation staff or the creator of the Manga. There are a few beautiful watercolors, yet most of the scenes are overly simplistic and the character design doesn’t fit with the actual scenery style making the work even more jarring. As forthe actual characters – there is no getting around the fact they are boring. They are comprised of one or two traits, but the main characters main trait is clumsiness which makes me bring up something quite a few have heard since Twilight came out – clumsiness is a flaw. I don’t understand why the guy they’re supposed to be protecting isn’t involved with the plot more let alone why he’s not allowed to fight let alone given a method of fighting. In fact, nothing ever really gets explained. The characters get their powers easily.

On top of this the plot is high school drama with powers in addition to said drama, yet the humor is painfully cliché. I’ve heard a lot of the jokes before, they’re poorly done or just plain petty. I’m not even understanding why the yuri/yaoi fanservice ended up in the series and just comes across as creepy. In fact, the girls who are the heroes -they’re not really likable characters, yet they’re supposed to be pure of heart and have the ability to save the world.

No, the series isn’t satire poking fun of the pure of heart trope which comes up with this type of character.

Even the cultural references didn’t save the series.
