Story:

the story is a tale of two rich families. In one family, the son is disowned and left the family. In the other, the daughter wants to marry him. This story is about the two of them and their trials and tribulations. To get viewers, they also decided it needs to be a perverted harem. So minus points for ruining the love story. The ending is also satisfactory, although a better closing appear in the manga which wraps up the story well. This is in contrast to many harems which are entirely open ended in the ending 5+3 for good story - 3 for harem not needed + 2 for actual ending + 1.5 for manga ending 

animation:

normal for its time but not up to current standards so 5-1 but I love Aoi's big blue eyes so +3

sound: 

its hard to find sub--Funimtion only seems to have up to episode 4 on YouTube subbed. Dub is just like most dubbed anime, lacking proper emotion and odd and not fitting correctly so 5-2 3

characters: MCs both have important back story and are both characterized in depth with many facets brining them to their current personalities. Many of which were actually shown so the viewer can understand their current motivations. So 5+(3*2) for the two of them. -3 for harem + 1 for the dead characters -1 for the harem

overall 7.5

8.5/10 story
6/10 animation
3/10 sound
8/10 characters
7.5/10 overall

Oh, the comment regarding pacing...""Of course even that show had various pacing issues so I must admit that he is not a good director and this show is yet another proof of it.""   I am left to inquire just how many anime projects have you dircted yourself?? I will like to know.  You see, any film or animation is unique, its scripting will never be recipe and dialog all fit neatly within a given amount of time and number of drawings. Its really not your place to comment on the quality of directing -- unless you do that Full Time for a known studio.  But you didnt mention your credentials so I have no recourse beside force that you reveal your Anime Directorial resume. How about it? Regards;
