From the visualization aspect, Bahamut has incredible graphics. Fairly fluid animation is supporting the well-framed fights well. The coup de grâce when they're fighting with their Drag-Rides is a plus point of the series. Their movements even without Drag-Rides aren't less appealing too. The female's motions (when they wield their swords or fighting) are beautiful, but less robust, unlike some of the series that make its heroine potentially strong like Akame (Akame ga Kill series).
The characters design is made in a fine clear-cut with various colours. There are some characters with dim personality, but still look vibrant by its characters design. Bright color is equipped on the characters, for instances, their Drag-Rides, hair color or eyes color. Their academy uniform design is good and creative with cute cut-shaped in blue & white mixing. The academy building is not superb and other backgrounds (places) look plenty. I didn't feel bored as they keep moving or going circling outside of the academy too. The tasks of special forces in this academy make them go out for expeditions. Later, this expeditions support the development of the story and also bring fighting scenes with Drag-Rides to our view.
The story development comes from its journey to keep observing about the Drag-Rides and fighting the evil creatures/people who're going to be so destructive. Not something too personal, so there are not much emotions like Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry series. The interpersonal relationship amongst the characters are the reason why this series still has point for its strength of feeling. Also, as expected from harem series, the amorous feelings towards the main male character still present. The amorous feelings from the female characters are quite fun and twisted for this because the tritagonist (2nd female main heroine) has more profound plot than the deuteragonist (1st female main heroine) to its protagonist (male hero).
The character development is supported by the interaction amongst the characters. Sadly, it's so shallow that there is not much thing to explain here. There are background information for every character supplied and at this present time, the characters just go along with their academy special forces duty to keep observing the ruins of Drag-Rides. The obstacles they are facing aren't too much, but Krulcifer's development I think is the best thus far.
OP "Hiryuu no Kishi (飛竜の騎士)" by TRUE is pretty cool. The beat is sync with scenes play on the back of and it gives a strong impression of the series at first. The vocal has high-pitch voice yet the song is melodious. While the ED "Lime Tree (ライムツリー)" by nano.RIPE is hooked me out of my shell. I don't really like nano.RIPE's songs so far and Lime Tree is my only exception. The intro in the beginning, the flow of it, the bass tapping, and peculiar vocal of nano.RIPE are things that packed in one song I can't deny. The seiyuu(s) are suitable with the characters they are taking role of. My most favorite is Krulcifer that I fond of the most by its voice.
I enjoyed my time watching this even though sometimes I watched it purposely just for certain characters and its animation. I give this 8 for rate.
Pros:
- Although, the series has additional tag, mecha, which is on my least chosen genre, comes up nicely with other strong elements as genres.
- So-so harem in fact, but because of its uncommon for tritagonist to get more scenes, I gladly welcoming it.
Cons:
- They strive hard personally but not too visible in the surface and it becomes shallow. It can be more than it, actually.
- Shallow characters and story development too.

| "That's enough, Lux... You've substantially played your part as my boyfriend. You don't have to push yourself. I was only using you. To me, you are simply a tool. So, you say it too... Say that I'm only a tool. If I had just said that from the beginning, maybe this could have ended with no expectations. So it can end without this feeling!" —Krulcifer #5th_ep "You're my lover...
