  After enjoyable first season that ended with sequel teaser, I had pretty high hopes for this one. And while it kept the “freshness” resulting (probably) from being chinese anime, I’m generally disappointed. I felt like this season was considerably weaker than previous one. Without going into overly detailed comparison, I’ll just focus on the most noticeable points, both good and bad: Bad drama. Too much and too over the top. Villains were just cheap and cheesy. I actually liked how girls problems were shown and solved in first season, but here it wasn’t fun to watch. Useless and forgotten elements in story. Without spoiling too much, I meanthings like Hayoi’s arm being broken at the very beginning just to be perfectly healthy a scene later, or two new characters introduced and doing some stuff that never led to any consequences. While the latter might be a setup for sequel, it doesn’t excuse the way it was executed.nGood harem members interactions. What I mean here is that, the dynamics between girls change and they notice others and their feelings. Too many harems (especially visible in VN adaptations that mix routes) fail at this and reduce girls’ interactions only to comedic bickering.nCharacters’ main selling points were ignored for the most part, wasting a lot of their screen time. Old cast (Zitong being main offender) got too much focus, despite not getting any real development.nOverall anime kept some of the things I liked, but general quality of story feels much lower. nnWhen it comes to art/music, it also doesn’t look that great. Or rather it “looks” pretty bad.nAnimation had a lot of bad moments. Characters walking as a static element just jumping up and down and moving through screen. Hentai-level movement details. Reused scenes. Yeah, it looked cheap.nOveruse of special effects to hide flaws in art. Sparkles, leaves flying through whole screen and such. They sure are pretty, but sometimes it just got too sparkly.nAnd what’s up with their clothes? I understand character design, but seeing them having same outfit in every situation, especially considering how unusual they are, looks really out of place.nMusic used during some scenes worked really well. I love when anime changes BGM to fit tone of a scene.nWhat music is missing, is variety. We got a singer heroine, but all her singing is just “la la la” and when she finally gets to sing it’s… opening song. Pretty disappointing. And why all of them have the same ringtone? nnIt might look like I’m just complaining and throw in some positives here and there. Don’t misunderstand. It’s still a fun anime and absolutely worth watching if you liked first season. The above are just my observations as a fan of harem anime who also happened to have soft spot for this specific title.

  Story: so the anime pretty much starts where season 1 (in a sense) ending with Sandy falling from the school roof and wanting Hayoi but sandy didn't want to live anymore cause of the way her life was (not gonna spoil what happened with sandy) so after that with sandy you really just get a bunch of stuff with all the girls and hayoi weather it be Hayoi finding Xuan crown in time for a con or finally finding out to what happened to make Xueli the way she is to them getting lost in the woods cause of Xueli and to Mei actually havingfeeling for Hayoi that's pretty much what you in a sense get for the story (kind a bummer but still the story is decent)nnArt: will say the art is really good from the background to the character design and so one they did really good job this time around with everything in it.nnSound: The Op i actually liked in the second as for the Ed eh personally i wasn't a fan of it but oh well as for the voice actors cant say anything else expect they were really damn good here.nnCharacter: Hayoi is the main male character and well has his harem but hes honestly not a scaredy cat (sometimes he is but not all the time) when it comes to it he knows when to handle certain things which i liked this dude for a good main male character. Yuan is one of the many female leads honestly to describe her she pretty laid back and just pretty cheerful only real things that i can really say about her but she is a good character. Tata is another female lead and well she is a spirit or a magical person who follows Hayoi around (also no one can see her just him) cause of the cupid's chocolate is the reason why she follows him around to describe her i mean she is pretty nice but she can get annoying to Hayoi at times otherwise i did like her. Xueli is another female lead and well shes the only person who in fact didn't eat the cupid's chocolate she always loved Haoyi at first she wasn't always like that to hayoi they were always rivals but childhood friends at the same time but as time grew she began to love Hayoi and see well became a yandere cause of her change in attitude to describe her well she is a yandere always wanting to be with him again loved her character (im a fan of the yandere type to be honest). Xuan is another female lead and she can become kinda bossy and a push around hayoi but always has the soft spot for him she also cosplay's as well she is kinda a pushy one to describe her she can be nice but she kinda is a Tsundere in that sense. Xia is the last female lead and well she is the first person…

  (For the sake of compactness, I will be talking about both season 1 and 2 in this review.) As someone who has watched almost every ecchi harem anime, I was interested to see the chinese attempt this format back in 2015. I watched the first episode but I started it again 5 years later. So here is my breakdown of both seasons. S1 Story: 8/10 For an Ecchi Harem anime, the plot is executed quite well and I thought the concept was unique. It caught me off guard that it also included a lot of drama. There was a lot of dilemmas and the story rarely felt likeit slowed down. However, there were a few problems, for example in the first episode he claims he had never talked to Zitong yet in a flashback he is handing the cake to the main girls, all in the same room, which is impossible because later on in the anime the girls interact between each other as if they had met each other for the first time. Another contradiction is that the MC says he's something along the lines of a boring average student who will become a bin man or something. Yet we learn that he is well trained in kung-fu, the smartest student in the school and has a very strong moral compass. My favourite arc in the whole anime was the Lin Yuan arc. Fuck me that ending made me tear up.nnS2 Story: 4/10nSimilar problems to S1 except the MC feels like a complete Gary Stu now and there are more inconsistencies in the story. What else didn't help is that Lin Yuan, Tang Xuan and Mei Tata got way less screen time in exchange for Zitong (who did basically nothing during that screentime), Xueli (who I don't mind because she's best girl and actually has decent character development) and the new character Sandy. I did not give a shit about Sandy or her arc and she just felt like she was shoehorned at the last minute. Her personality is non-existant and her arc is just BORING. It had some good moments but it just felt like S2 was trying to be too many genres at one time. Also it got old how the MC would find the girls father (or father figure) and teach them a lesson with some good old words (that don't vary with any of the dads).nnSound: 6/10 (combining both seasons here)nWhen talking about sound as in voice acting and sound quality, this is what almost turned me off this show. Despite looking like the show had quite a big budget the mic quality was probably the same as OVAs from tiny studios. As for the actual voice acting, it was serviceable, but most of the time the tone was melodramatic when it shouldn't have been.nnNow onto the music perspective. The opening and ending music and animation is one of the lowest budget OP and EDs I have ever seen, most of it is static images…
