Aroduc and Scamp quickly focus on the same thing:

The rest of the cast is cut right out of the same cookie cutter collection as a billion other terrible pseudo harems. The idiot loli, the older girl sensitive about her age, the one afraid of men, the one with a sword (except when they forget to draw it), and both a sullen and a friendly male sidekick.

and

[T]his unusual character trait (which, incidentally, you’ll have seen in hundreds of other characters before []) will be repeated and used as the joke throughout the rest of the series. The girl is small, the guy is a minicon [], the graceful girl carries a sword. Worst of all is the girl who is afraid of men. Yeah, I haven’t seen that a bizzilion times before.

Sounds like my kind of show.

Update: Even PSgels:

The biggest problem with this first episode however was that most of the characters rely too much on their quirks for their characterizations.

Wow. Same talking point again! It almost looks someone created a JournoList for Animebloggers (I mean, more successfuly than Saturnine did with ABC).
