*reads the description*

hey yet another harem/action anime, maybe this one will actually break from the cliches and common tropes that over saturate Japanese media.

I think the way that might work is if we get an action harem that's an original story and not based off of a LN, game, or manga.

Any show which feels the need to state bra sizes in order to get my attention I will automatically pass on.

Well, unless there is a really big pair in there. Twisted Evil

That one made me laugh, a job whose description is solely to design various weapons (and the MC's shield)

This show is almost certainly aimed at high school boys.

Well, it being a harem and the fact that high school boys has a large audience in Japan, obviously it could be regarded as sexist. With a character clearly described as being from the UK, an accent would work if it gets dubbed.

"“Blaze” – a weapon that you create by materializing..."

I've come to know that shows with a synopsis like that are almost certainly crap. Actually the excerpt above is where I stopped reading.
