I'm sure many folks will be having a joyride conducting their "research" as they pay attention to the plot Laughing

The opening song reminds me of a certain Seikon no Qwaser opening song.

This should be hopefully an amusing fan service focused action show. Similar to Queen's Blade I imagine, the kind of thing where you know what you're getting into in advance and you either like it or you don't.
I appreciate cases like this where fan service is just completely honest and 100% shameless about it from the start. Otherwise I personally usually more often than not find fan service frustrating when it pops up in random shows that it doesn't really feel like it belongs in.

This could be a yuri ecchi harem anime that I have always wanted. Hype!

Ah, depending on who you ask, Lucifer is the head, and Satan isn't the leader of the demons. If Satan isn't considered synonymous with Lucifer, then he's usually considered the patron demon of Wrath while Lucifer is the patron demon of Pride (and gets to be the leader because of that.) There is some variation about which demon corresponds with which sin, so occasionally Wrath is Amon.

Kind of weird that it's called the seven deadly sins and they mention both Gloom/Despair and Vainglory (excessive bragging) though I suppose they at least did their research. Orthodoxy still recognizes Gloom while no one remembers Vainglory. But alas, it sounds cool, so why not include it?

Incidentally, neither sin is usually associated with a patron demon because that was a Catholic thing, and they simply combined Gloom with Sloth and Vainglory with Pride. The demons they picked do sort of correspond with their sin though.

you two huh? it probably means that the people that did the OP for seikon no qwaser are also doing this too. dont know if it also includes the artist as well.

and you cant be surprised that the waifus animations. this is being done by hobby japan after all and have been doing this ever since they released queens blade. my guess is that some of the staff were probably former ARMS staff since they were the orignal king of ecchi fanservice with ikkitousen.
