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.
