I think a lot of the irritation with harem/rom/romcom or anything with a prevalent romantic plot/subplot is that all too often authors take the lazy route of giving the MC some sort over the top character flaw to blatantly draw out the will-they won't-they of the relationship. Bell didn't exactly do himself any favors completely ignoring Hestia's obvious flirting 14 or not, and that kind of blatant MC ignorance strikes a pretty raw nerve amongst many. If for no other reason than the next-level obliviousness shatters suspension of disbelief. It would have been much better to simply not have that 'you have a girl in front of you' scene at all. There are better ways to explicitly convey a characters feelings to the audience without making the MC look like a derp. |

Ep 01
Hmm ... not a bad adaptation of the source material (from what I remember, at least). No great shakes per se, but I guess I will give a few more eps a try.

Whatever else folks may think of it, Episode 1 was fun to watch, and I'm betting the next 11 will be too. Any old-school AD&D player is gonna be rollin' watching this and seeing his /her old campaigns reflected. If you did Fantasy RPG in the 70's & 80's this thing is pure comedy gold because you will be laughing at yourself.

Those sorts of details were not emphasized much way back when.
On other things, though, I did like the visuals of the first episode - I thought it was pretty well done as a package whole. The BGM was also kinda fitting. The VA is plenty fine for fantasy dungeon crawl hack n slash sorta settings in general, but it still feels a little odd for me to be hearing him in such a high pitched voice range.

Oh, the main site has a 16bit inspired Bell with a stat screen, that brought up all of my soft feelings. 1st episode was much more pleasant than what I thought it would be, and budget seems kinda of decent..... And I'll stop before commenting on JC Staff to keep myself positive

Not everybody acts that way, but.... Sometimes they do - yes. **** On a different note I am reminded of some other anime that borrow from the various pantheons from Western mythologies (like, say, The World God Only Knows or Kamigami no Asobi) ... going 1=1 comparison wise with traditional deity portrayals and then comparing them with how they are adapted into Japanese franchises is ... well ... almost guaranteed to create headscratching .
