Even when it comes to ecchi, there is a certain extent to which fan-service is tolerable. The story of the anime is very generic and fan-service being quite obligatory in this genre, it becomes downright annoying.

There are many other similar anime shows out there that are better, one of them obviously being ‘ High School D X D‘. All the other aspects of the show are just bland and predictable. Now I would be lying if I claimed that the show is not enjoyable at all because it has elements of fun but it offers nothing more than that. The only difference between them is that ‘Shinmai Maou no Testament’ has a whole lot of fan service. Considering its presentation, character design and, to some extent, even the basic premise, the show is very similar to ‘High School D X D’. Make them your own, but find those "gold" moments and give them to us.When anime lovers talk about ‘Shinmai Maou no Testament’, they often refer to it as a ‘ High School D X D‘ clone. Again, no excuses today for not doing your homework! All you have to do is recreate the greatest scenes from similar genres. Producers should ask the audience what scenes they rewound their DVR's at-that scene you had to see over again. I loved the mini-mart scene is Ep 3 and how it was performed. It all comes down to production and storytelling. I hope this series remains highly intelligent. I think because they play the Bourne movies non-stop, I/we are tired of Mr Everything, the persona of someone who is a rebel (detached from his core unit) but super skilled in every way, able to out think law enforcement at will, a McGyver ability to escape any place at any time. I wasn't sold on him, but he plays the role as needed. All to say when his scenes take place, I disconnect just a bit. New face, but in TV that face needs to convince the audience immediately they are who they are. I am still not convinced about the lead of FBI agent (Isaac Johnson) role. It was political (black female), but the actress (Cynthia Addai-Robinson) pulled it off.

I did not like the female FBI agent casting at first. I was critical of trying to recreate the movie and how this would be done. I want to see a loner trying to evade getting caught. I was going to bail but recorded the series on DVR and episode 3 hit the target! That was good TV. it is like the weekend box office results for a movie.
