Episode 1:
Ha, it's like those girls will believe almost anything a commoner says. *grins*. Best girl so far is the maid imo. |

Episode 1
You know, there was something I was going to praise this first episode for. Despite being an obvious fairly cliché and trashy ecchi harem anime, and focusing on legs and impressions of butts, this was actually fairly mild. We did not see any panties. The premise made me really think of Ladies vs Buttlers (anyone remember that one), yet that was heavily ecchi, and yet restrained this episode was actually made it feel a little fresh. That was until the preview. Thank you Shomin Sample for letting me know there will be plenty of fanserice, explicitly showing panties right after I was thinking that it was good there were none. Although maybe I could do with some ecchi like this over getting a little tired of other variations. But from the beginning it looks like they will also periodically throw muscular guys with bulges at us. *sigh* Well the excuse to throw a guy in an all girls school is not exactly that great, as is the forced story of him having to pretend to like men. Could he not just refuse? But the female characters do not look too dangerous, and there is a hint of something interesting with them not understanding things. I kind of liked that one small scene of them showing a graduate becoming a NEET. The maid is somewhat humorous for be the opposite of the spectrum, turning the ojou-sama into friendly while the maid is disinterested. This does seem set up for a slightly younger audience comparatively to what many other ecchi series seem to be doing lately, with a softer looking character design. What might have been tsundere like girl who is hard to deal with may really be quick to get along with, that might work. Nothing hiding what this guy is, big blank slate for an audience to put themselves into, but a couple comments of interest, and hints at liking legs. Kimito Kagurazaka sounds way too much Kazuto Kirigaya though. Guilty pleasure, but I want to see what that loli is like.

This one is amusing even if it is far from unique, it is a somewhat over used set up of "only male in a female school" with the subtle twist that his selection was based on the false rumor that he is effectively "ok for being in a GAR relationship", as such I had a nice smirk when a class room of over sheltered girls become over infatuated with a Smart Phone.

episode one
I really enjoy the OP, for some reason. I'm sure I'll put my finger on it after seeing it a few more times. I'm honestly finding the confused and excited reactions of the students really amusing, but this is all just the set up and I'm not sure how well they can keep that gag going. The big questions are how the ecchi is handled and how the whole misunderstanding about him being gay goes, and the first episode doesn't do a lot to answer them. |

Episode 2
Lol, how rich are these girls anyways? They made a huge deal about the ramen even though those things are the cheapest food you can buy literally almost anywhere. |

Episode 2
Odd, there was not nearly as much fanservice as a preview beforehand focusing on it may have implied. There was really only two scenes one after the other, Aika flashing her panties to him when she thinks he is frozen in time. And the other, one of the most cliché types of scenes of a guy walking in girl, in on Reiko, which although had a moment of him giving a description of what he liked, it was fairly brief. The preview showed more, but I am really going to think that chances are it will probably only be a small part which the previews decide to focus on. The better part of the episode was probably the cup noodles/ramen bit. Oddly I don't think for being original, in fact it felt oddly familiar.... Am I thinking of Ouran High? Reiko also seems to have had a change, and she is reminding me of a certain Anna. Anyway, again this did not feel that pffensive, there were some panties, and focus on l on butts/legs, but it continues to feel lighter. Having Ojous be nice also is a nice change to what the usual thing is. |

episode two
This series may be worth watching just to see the main character continue to troll Aika. Actually, Kimito's handling of various situations he gets stuck in is one of the highlights overall. I don't get the impression Reiko is going to go full Anna on us though. I think she lacks the aggressive element of Anna's infatuation. I could always be wrong, though. |

So I'm in the minority for enjoying this show because of Kujo? Not one of the elite students so she's shomin herself but she has to be the maid for the school's prize, let's say it, specimen. I'm not really sure why she isn't featured more in the opener or closer as her design, attitude and mole scream major character. So... there's going to be a shomin club and those girls are going to be members? Ok, now that's cliche.
I love how the show is one half zoological/sociological exhibition "come see the common male in his natural habitat!-spared no expense!"- while the show itself is having a field day on the very sheltered product of elite single sex schools. I also like the fact the guy has a thigh fetish. It's a very precise area, one of equality somewhat- that's not by chance I bet- and explains why he was looking where he was when he was introduced to the class. I also love the fact they moved the entire room and its contents without really thinking about what the posters meant. Or Kujo knew and she's just trolling him. |

Episode 3
And with that, Karen became my favorite girl in this series. Her personality is just too amusing to watch despite her wielding a katana around. The lack of common sense from the girls in this series is also beyond ridiculous still

Hakua is adorable. Karen reminds me of Tsugumi from Nisekoi.

I gave up halfway through the first episode. There was something about the girls and the main character, perhaps how the story was turning out that just turned me off from it. Sorry to say I will be skipping this one.

Episode 3
I know this is not for everyone, but I was really enjoying this episode, it felt like a lot of fun. Both Hakua and Karen are fun characters. Karen's bit about not just somehow doing anime styled attacks, but "defeating" herself by destroying all the clothes, just got better. Started great from looking elegant, to freaking out from a bug, to playing along with the misunderstanding to not look foolish, and just how she took it further with Kimito playing the straight man, simply made me laugh. Hakua is adorable, she is a genius younger than she look but still prodigy, and super helpless. Played off two elements of her needing to be looked after by him, and making her do things she does not usually, and it was entertaining. Matched with Karen who suddenly has another character flip in being drawn in by Hakua's cuteness also works. Definite problems in this series, but there just feels like something so earnest about it. Also, being woken first thing in the morning by a maid saying that she wished he never woke up, that is funny. Maybe I am jumping the gun, but I feel like this is making its way to being the new show I might simply enjoy, like fits into my tastes. |

episode three
Are we sure that Hakua, like other small things (see: the Chihuahua), doesn't simply get cold easily? She could be engaging in paradoxical undressing. You'd think with all her peculiarities she'd have someone acting as a guardian at all times, but I guess instead everyone on campus has just gotten used to a half-naked girl writing on random things, which actually makes it all funnier. |

She probably goes into autopilot, and a small observation of clothes getting in the way of movements in any way and then removes them without thinking.
