I did it because I found the manga version far superior to IS. Manga only contained, like, the introduction but I was so chuffed by it. Arcs after that one were really inconsistent and too full of Yuuki Rito syndrome. Still... it ended with the destined couple being acknowledged basically and that's something Infinite Shi-tos COMPLETELY shat on at the end of S1 =_=

Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut is still the best in comparison even if it is a genre fusion(ecchi mecha + medieval fantasy harem). I greatly enjoy the fleshed out version of that story outside of the condensed(but still good) anime. Maybe because many things in it are a lot more tolerable and fun. Also because I actually like Lux's characterization. His motivation is actually done well to suit the context(for once it isn't primarily for the sister) and all characters basically exist within the same boundaries of logic relative to him. I don't have to force myself to go through it even if the plot itself isn't original. Basically Hundred is nowhere near it. :P To Bahamut's credit, it didn't try to sell itself solely on the mecha, ecchi and angsty people.
