Now she lives with him as his 'sister', and every day step deeper into the mystery and danger of Babylon academy.
(Anime: 1 Season, 12 episodes, Finished)
The above description may sound a little odd, and thats because the story really is. It takes place after the main character has finished his adventures in a different world, and ends before he starts new adventures. It almost feels as though the series covers the middle boring arc of a long running story, and the introduction and ending are never covered. No matter what else the series may have going for it, this over riding feeling of inadequacy results in a lot of frustration - we aren't shown what we really want from the story.
The rest of the series doesn't stand out much either. There is probably more focus on fan service than story - considering that the main character spends most of his time stealing the underwear of girls while they're wearing them. That may be a great trick, but If all you're looking for is plenty of boobs and no story, you may as well just buy a porno. There are some hints at a harem or a love triangle forming, but again this is glossed over as a 'maybe this is happening' kind of feel. The same can be said about the mystery in this series - it feels like there is some over riding plot going on, but it is rarely touched upon. The animation is pretty basic, nothing very exciting, and the same for the characters.
All in all a sub standard series - needed to start 20 episodes earlier and keep running for another 40.
Rating - 3/10
