The Demon Sword Master of Excalibur Academy

Even if the plot isn't as rigid, it makes sense, making the anime entertaining to watch. It stays true to the basic notion and incorporates a variety of side genres that give it a distinct yet very free-form feel.

While some may find the characters "cliché," I think they're all incredibly well-rounded. The MC maintains that his natural instincts-rather than his desires-are the only reason he finds himself in a scenario akin to a harem. As a result, fanservice-filled moments are created, which is to be expected, but they are far more tolerable because the main character never gives away his identity and always acts like a gentleman rather than a creep, even though you can see him periodically give in to his wants. He limits his abilities so it doesn't look like he's bragging, but he's not a moron-he still uses reason to know when to step it up. His relationships with other characters are incredibly nicely done.

There isn't much to say about the art; it is fantastic. I really like the way they depict the characters, particularly their eyes.
