I was surpised of this anime, its a bit confusing at first, but if you watch it from the begining to end you will come to understand that this is a great show.

The plot is complicated but everything is explained at the end, and you will end up feeling glad you watched it tho till the end.

I surgest writing down the flags soo you have a better understanding of the show.

I have come to love all the characters they are very unique and loveable in their own way.

there isent a lot of fanservice which is good, they carry out the plot very well once you have watched the whole anime you will understand it completly.

I encourage everyone to give this anime a chance, dont judge before you have watched it completly to finnish.

The main question in this anime is wheater you can change fate, if you are detamined to try.

The main charcacther, Souta is put thro many trials, and he carries the burden of destiny itself.

He will meet many people who will have an inpact on his life.

The reason I dont talk about the story, is because its impossible without spoilers.

This show is truly a masterpiece, it shows humanitys battle against destiny.

This produces the mental fatigue flag

I only watched the first episode of this. The other reviews have said that this started well but went downhill later on. My impression of the first episode was really poor. The events made no sense. The dialogue on the school roof was dreadful. How did this girl know most of the things she knew, I thought that he was supposed to be the one with a special power not her. The lead male is a drab dolt that girls flock around because he looks injured or forlorn perhaps.

Avoid!

Basically found this anime more and more boring, I would not waist time on it

The story was alright it was that with each episode i was getting less and less interested. The end of the story made no sense. Especially the very very last part where she almost falls again ( even though it s the new house)

as far as animation and sound it was great, but that is the only thing i can say thats good about it.

Characters were slightly annoying

Personally for me i do not find this anime worth it.

Hoods Entertainment studio bought this strange harem/romcom/sci-fi/fantasy mishmash to our screens back in 2014 and it is unimpressive. Trying too hard to be all things to all men it ends up a bit of a mess. It kicks off building up a wacky harem focussed around the main protagonist Souta Hatate. Unoriginally he is a transfer student into the Hatagaya High School and pretty much he is surrounded by pretty girls from the get-go. One of them knows his secret: he is able to see visual flags above people’s heads that indicates something about them. He can then use that knowledge to change that person’s fate. That peculiar power is known only to Nanami Knight Bladefield who, incredibly is a princess to the Kingdom of Bladefield that is somewhere in Europe. Bladefield still seems stuck in the Middle Ages and, if none of this makes sense, there are plot developments that start to explain quite why the show seems so surreal. If you are willing to stick with it then everything becomes explained. Well, sort of. That doesn’t mean it necessarily makes much sense.

At the risk of launching into a big spoiler the story is a science fiction fantasy that somehow brokers the gap between “The Matrix” and the Fate series anime. As such it is overblown and bombastic: none of this gels very well with the original harem premise that is often overly sickly and cute. The show ends up being a bit of a car crash between competing ideas and never quite reconciles to three elements. It is like it was written by three people who didn’t talk to each other. That is not to say that it doesn’t have it moments. Adding a male character to the otherwise female love elements in the harem shakes it up a bit and adds quite a bit of fun to proceedings. The show always seems like it is just inches away from offering something genuinely original and brilliant but it never quite gets it over the line. This can be quite sophisticated at times but it generally nudges it over too far into just being confusing. The sum of its parts is somehow lesser than whole thing. Quite an achievement.

Different from normal harem, there is a clearer girl at the end. two treat him as a brother. One is actually his <spoiler>real sister whom he forgot about</spoiler>. One actually <spoiler>confessed his love to him and remembered him even after she was supposed to forget. It seems like they were closest together in the end </spoiler> The characters were unique. There was even a robot who began with "hello world". Just that alone upped my character rating by one
