The Asterisk War: The Academy City on the Water

Juat needs a little more character building then this would be perfect

I like this anime .It is very exciting. I want more season !

Just watch season 1 and every episode was exciting for me :) great work!

I don't watch tons of anime but this one I loved it , I think it is a nice story quite original I would and the fact that there is only 2 seasons and the story ends abruptly left wanting more, I have read 9 volumes out of 14 wainting for the english translation for the others the series in my opinion summons the right amount of everything if you are a balanced human being if you are into more violent stuff you might not like it .

The series doesn't bring a lot of originality to the table, between an over powered protagonist attempting to defend another OP female character (who then become friends..) to harem fan service in the 1st season, its packed full of cliches.

But for all of that it's still watchable.

Pros:

• There is a second season.
• Good opening/closing music and score.
• Above average English dubbing.
• Consistent and good animation quality (1st Season).
• Mad Science, AI's and semi-sentient weapons.
• Japanese style combining robots.
• Some additional good scores in the 2nd season.

Cons:

• "Fan Service" inside the first few minutes.
• Trope heavy.
• High cheese factor.
• "Fan Service" heavy.
• Generic Harem subplot.
• Catgirls, don't mind them, just want an explanation in a primarily vanilla world.
• Small drop in animation quality in the 2nd Season.
• Neon added toT-Shirts, cars, planes etc. somehow make them "magical".
• Last third of the 2nd season was very weak with unresolved plot points.
