Ancillary

Standard harem anime. The main guy isn't a complete loser, but his arc is certainly shallow. Though, I was surprised that he actually picks a girl in the end. The most interesting characters are ancillary characters, basically the villains. The betrayal between the brother and the evil doctor is the definite high point. I wish they'd been worked in more - heck, cut some main characters and weave some of that in. It's a real shame there isn't more, the story certainly seemed to hint at more. But the confrontation between the baddies doesn't even involve the mains! Round off the anime with super powers, infection (random and purposeful), and there are certainly more directions this could have gone. The powers aren't that inspired. The main characters are stock, without much going on. It's a shame the series doesn't aspire for anything more than vanilla harem. It has plenty of fan service, and a few good fights. A bit forgettable all around, despite the flash.
