Melty Lancer
DVD 1: Alpha
As a general rule, anime series that are based on video games are disappointing. The various Street Fighter and Vampire Saviour anime series available have been met with disdain from fans of both the games and anime in general. Since MeltyLancer isn't based on a long-running, credible video game franchise, it comes across as being horrifyingly generic. The cast of characters, assembled seemingly at random, consists entirely of hyper-competent, intelligent girls and a few inept and/or evil men. The female cast, obviously the focus of the series, is entirely forgettable. There's practically no fanservice in the series, which is highly uncommon for a show that's based on a game and focuses entirely on a cast of cute girls. It's as if the screenwriter didn't know he had crafted six utterly uninteresting characters, and then wrote a screenplay that focused on the bland personalities of these characters instead of giving the intended audience what they probably wanted, which was cheesecake.
