Synopsis
When an extraterrestrial organism known as "Savage" attacks mankind, the only technology capable of combating the enemy is a weapon known as “Hundred.” A survivor of a Savage attack, Hayato Kisaragi is a teenager boasting the highest compatibility level with the aforementioned technology and as a result, is invited to master his skills at Little Garden, a prestigious military academy aboard a battleship.

Over the course of his intense training for the battle ahead, he immediately attracts the interest of multiple female peers and gets drawn into a number of incidents as he tries to fight against the creatures that now inhabit Earth and threaten its safety.


Review

As most of my reviews it contains spoilers... 
This will not be a lengthily review because there isn't much to say about it. You've seen it before.. yeah.  In this world Earth is being attack by aliens known as savage and the only weapon capable of battling is called hundred.

Thus enter Hayato Kisaragi a boy that supposedly has a very big connection with the Hundreds and so goes to live to a massive ship (with a city in it) to fight savages. From the start a guy Emile Crossfode (yeah in Portuguese this name is very bad - fode is fuck...) treats Hayato a little suspicious jumping and embracing him... Then he duels with Claire Harvey (The president of ship called Little Garden) and he is defeated by her (not before he touches her boobs...


Emilia, Sakura, Claire, Karen, (The competitors) - Reitia, don't know who is the last one... 
In that ship we've got also Karen Kisaragi (sister to Hayato) who have some condition and she can't stand up. We've got Erica Candle and Liddy Steinberg (Vice-presidents) and both in love of Claire Harvey.

Oh, after the fourth episode enters Sakura Kirishima (a world wide singer) and in love with Hayato

We've got also a couple of characters like Reitia Saint-Émillion; Mei-Mei, Claudia Lowetti, Xiu Mei Liu and the other only boy Frizt Glanz.

Basically each episode is:
- Fight some savages
- Someone making a move to Hayato
- Hayato touching someone boobs.

In the final 4 episodes enter three children which are pawns of a crazy scientist which we later see them battle in the final episode...

That's it.

What you want more?  Well... let us see
It seems Emile Crossfode is a girl that Hayato saved and she is in love with him. The ship is powered by Claire Harvey sister which is quite powerful (and it's a sleep but awakes to the final battle)

So was it worth it? I've watch 10 of the 12 episodes in two days but by the 7 or 8 I just wanted to finish it...

The ending we are left with two or three things:
1) They can do another season after all the threat still exists
2)  What a heck is preparing the brother of Claire?
3)  Hayato kisses Emilie and everyone sees it and now Emilie is Emilia. In the same note Claire and Sakura aren't ready to give up on Hayato...


Off the record
I just want to say a couple of things I've seen on some animes and some I don't need to watch but only by reading the synopsis... this kind of anime follows

a ) MC-kun, a boy with a tragic back story, gets admitted to an exclusive academy for people skilled in one of the following - Mecha's / ESP / or other supernatura ability

b) Basically he is the best but he is never aware of it... and then puff - he doesn't even need training
Beautiful hot big breasted women he encounters will become romantically and sexually attracted to MC-kun (Usually several types of females are atracted an usually two or three)

- Tsundere (a person who is initially cold and even hostile towards another person before gradually showing a warmer side over time) (Claire)
- Kuudere (at is cold, blunt, cynical, and pretty much doesn't care if her beloved dies. That's what she is on the outside but she is actually caring and nice on the inside.) Hmm on this one there weren't any
- Friendly but not-so-smart airhead
- Sexy transfer student (Sakura)
- Imouto (often with a brocon - brother complex) - (Karen)
- Girl who has to dress like a boy (Emilie)
- Top of class girl who gets beaten by MC-kun (Claire as well)
- Childhood friend (Emilie & Sakura)
- Loli

c) Throughout the series the Harem will compete for MC-Kun affection and most of the time he will oblivion of the tension and then the girls will be rivals and friends but compete nontheless... 

d) In the end MC-Kun abilities that have growth throughout the season will overcome everything and anything with the help of the Harem
