This both is and isn't quite an average and generic show. Like the genre list suggests, this is also a pantsu show, which goes hand in hand with being quite moe. However, this is also a violent and bloody action show, and the action happens to be good. The story isn't that complicated, for sure, but with the emphasis on graphics, mainly in the form of very bold lighting work, and the basic idea of healing the cursed tools, I wouldn't have expected a complicated story to begin with. This is directed by Ef's director and animated by a studio that assisted on Bakemonogatari, and that shows in the visual style.

One good thing, contrasting some other random shows this season, is that the main character (voiced by Yuuki Kaji; Reitei Lyon of Fairy Tail, Ko of Hanasaku Iroha) isn't a loser. He's no one man army and is quite a relaxed dude, but when the situation requires, he does what a man should do. The female main character, Fear (voiced by Yukari Tamura; Togame of Katanagatari, Nanoha of Nanoha), is quite a complicated personality. She appears highly annoying in the beginning, but I suggest giving her a chance, because her behavior is indeed a direct result of her background. Other VAs include Minori Chihara (Chiaki of Minami-ke, Yuki of Haruhi) as the friendly neighbour girl (and quite a bit more), Eri Kitamura (Sayaka of Madoka, Kana Alberona of Fairy Tail) as the student body president. No problems with voice actors.

I wouldn't exactly call this any masterpiece of anime making, but it has been entertaining and pretty enough for me to watch four eps and plan to keep watching.
