This OVA. My man Arata is just too awesome and his legend grows everyday. I love this OVA.
So we start off the episode with Arata getting out of school with Lilith when the Headmaster’s secretary calls him in.
Turns out that Arata’s being expelled? Eh? But he’s been actually studying.
But there’s one way to save his grade.
With the Trinity Seven? Imagine the possibilities! Arata already is!
It’s only been 5 minutes and it is glorious!
Even his imagination is deserving of legend!
So basically study with each member of the Trinity Seven and do a report on each one. It must be done by 8am. 8 am? He does even look like he’d be up until at least 9.
Anyway run Arata! Your school life is on the line.
So out on the hallway Arata and Sora run into Levy. However she apparently says that he needs to talk to some other member of the Trinity Seven before he understands Envy.
Aw man!
So after that they head over to the Infirmary to talk with Liese.
And she starts off with this.
Best girl!
And when Selina says not to do bad stuff with her body, Liese says that she can join in.
Even more best girl!
So Liese puts the camera and begins her explanation of the Acedia Archive.
That sounds like good times are about to roll.
So Liese connects to her Archive and after that she teleports on top of him and starts taking off her top!
Like I said best member of the Trinity Seven!
And right when it gets good Lilith shows up.
Crap! Why now!
And then Sora offers for Lilith to join and Lilith of course says no.
After that Arata and Sora run for it while Lilith’s yelling.
Time to learn about some Avaritia!
And then we end up in Yui’s dream world. So it’s time to begin learning.
Wow she jumped to nudity fast and she wants to do it! That’s fast.
But Arata isn’t just cool but he’s honorable. He know that Yui’s been alone for so long so she’s eager to please. She wants to make other people happy and she’s willing to use her body to do it.
Arata’s a good enough person to be able to realize this and kindly says no. He also says that she has more friends that just him.
So Yui says that she isn’t really greedy because she’s always dreaming and can just bring up anything she wants in a dream. But lately she’s been a bit greedy.
Yui that isn’t greedy at all. It’s really sweet.
And with that Arata pats her on the head and says he wants that too.
After that we head over to the bath and we get Akio coming in!
(Pic of Akio and Arata in the bath)(12:29)
So after wondering about Mira for a second, Akio starts blushing when Arata looks at her.
So then Akio starts to explain her Archive.
Someone’s got control over their desires. Others…
So yuri perfect.
And then Lilith falls over and gets covered in soap.
Subtle…
So after that Akio talks about Mira and says to make sure to be kind to her.
After we go over to Arin.
It’s going to be difficult since isn’t really that wrathful.
That’d be nice but what about the Archive?
Ah right on queue.
Arin’s got trolling skills!
Have a hand
After that Lilith goes on a little tirade and Arata says this.
And Arin blushes. He’s getting a lot brownie points today.
And Arata my man heads right over to Mira for some Superbia traning.
And we rejoice!
He always says thanks after a meal.
It was worth it! God that’s a lot of blood.
So after Arata heals, we get some Super Superbia lessons.
You got to admit that out of them all in this series Superbia and Luxeria are pretty broken. Then again I’m reading the manga and I know some Luxeria mages that are really strong. Why are all Luxeria mages evil though? Joe! Got any ideas?
So after that it’s time to hit the books!
I don’t want to study!
I don’t why but that position looks really cute. Yoko Hikasa really brought Mira to life.
After a long study session Mira falls asleep and Arata tucks her in…all while Mira actually wakes up and Lilith is watching.
Lilith you dirty girl. You love to watch.
Of course from the way it looks it looks like he’s about to take advantage of her but he isn’t like that.
She looks like she wanted it though.
And Lilith’s hurting and jealous. She really likes him.
After that Lilith comes over to Arata’s room.
That’d be nice but my man’s got honor and legend!
I’m personally not sure of the number but some guys would have folded. I like Arata because he’s honest about how he feels but he isn’t going take advantage of anyone.
That’s worth respecting. Usually it’s a balance with harem characters. Either they’re losers that aren’t going to take advantage of a girl or they’re bastards that will do what Makoto in School Days did. Arata’s a good balance of straight forward and honorable.
And he comforts her after her jealous moment and tells her that he’s even more grateful to her and can always depend on him.
And with that the lights come on and Levy says that she’s shown him the Envy of a woman’s heart!
And then she explains that he would be doing perverted things with the girls and that Lilith would be following him so she’d get jealous and give her the perfect opportunity for Invidia to show out!
She also drugged Mira so she’d fall asleep…weird. What if Arata wasn’t a good guy?
And we end that with a beating before we head over to the headmaster and we’ve got someone.
It’s Lugh! Looks like they captured her from Ish Karioth.
Then we get some scenes from the future.
For those of you that don’t know this hints at the Sky Library Arc which came right after the anime and the Magic Tournament Arc which is after Sky Library.
You know what this means! Second season coming soon! Granted we have to wait for that eventually official announcement but hey they wouldn’t have done this if they didn’t think they were going to do it.
And we end the episode with Trinity x Seven x Heaven!
Ah now that was a good OVA. It got me hyped for the possible season 2.
So that’s it from me!
Until we get that second season,
Later Days

The Final Battle of Arata and the Trinity Seven vs. Hijiri is about to begin! The hype is highly realistic!
So the episode starts with Arata, Lilith, Mira, and Akio arriving from their portal and using Lugh as their crash pad.
Arata says that he needs every ounce of help that the girls can offer. Everyone’s ready to help but someone’s got more help than others.
Still too hot.
Predictably my man Arata’s shocked. Arata maybe it might be Selina? They are twins.
Yep! Those twins definitely belong to Liese! And a beautiful set of twins they are!
But once again Arata’s not sure.
Are you sure now, Arata my man?
Too right. Ah the beauty of Lieselotte Sherlock!
No Selina-chan you’re cute but not insanely sexy like your sister. Then again your Magus Mode isn’t a thigh boots, opera gloves, and what basically boils down to a string bikini top. Also you’re not voiced by Nao Touyama! That’s what makes the hotness!
Anyway…
Don’t take it personally. He’s a harem protagonist. He’s probably more boobs by lunch than I will ever in my life…sad…
Levy agrees with me and so does Hijiri.
Luck is a part of the harem protagonist package. Do you think that stuff like this just happens on purpose!
So now that the comedy’s over it’s time to get into the battle!
So cool. This has always been my favorite part of the anime.
So now that I think about it. Where’s the Headmaster?
Oh there they are. Why aren’t they fighting?
Ah so it’s better to stay out of the battle. Also so that’s where the Headmaster…Headmistress of Liber Academy went after the Ish Karioth destroy it.
So now it’s down to the battle. Hijiri fires off her first big spell but Mira blocks it with White Universe. Turns out even in the beginning of the battle Mira was analyzing Hijiri’s magic. Damn that’s good.
But they aren’t done yet!
Akio’s going in!
Ouch that hurts.
Oh so Yui’s magic isn’t offensive. It’s support magic. Oh I get it now. She’s a Bard type like in Final Fantasy. It even works with her Thema Archsymphony. She even plays violin for fun.
Note: Bards, for those that don’t play Final Fantasy games. You don’t know what you’re missing. Anyway Bards are characters that buff themselves and their allies by singing various songs.
So with that Lugh’s out of the fight.
Don’t stop girls! Keep it going!
Alright!
They hit the wall and then wall hit back.
Looks like it’s some type of magical protection. Hmm if only we had someone that a magical lance that could cut through magic.
So with that Liese and Levy rush Hijiri again but she’s too smart for that and goes right for the wide open Arin!
But instead she hits Liese and Levy? How?
And now with Hijiri wide open, Arin takes her chance and gets rid of her magical protections with Misteltein…
Just in time for Arata and Lilith to blast her to Kingdom Come!
And Arata and Lilith fire off Meteo Dragonar and Hijiri tries to block but it just doesn’t work.
And with that Hijiri’s defeated but not before she gets a moment of understanding.
Hmm who is it? Now when I was watching this the first time for pleasure I couldn’t see anything. Mostly because I was so hyped for the season finale. But now that I’m watching for the review, I was able to notice that Hijiri saw a specific image that I didn’t notice the last time.
Hmm Lilith is the one that’s going to be cause of the end of the world. I can’t think of a woman that’s not worth destroying the world for. She is cute.
Let’s see how this turns out.
So after Hijiri gets blasted by Arata and Lilith, she explains what she saw after she disappeared. She saw that Arata became the Demon Lord and along with the Trinity Seven destroyed the world again and again in an eternal loop.
Just evil. Just evil.
If I got this after destroying the world then the only thing I’d be asking ‘So how do you want me destroy the world? Blow it up?’
Seven beautiful girls like that and a cool throne, the only bad part is Arata being evil and the world is destroyed.
To stop this and remake the world to ensure that this never happens that is the Iscariot.
Kinda sweet. Even though she’s evil now Hijiri still will do anything for Arata.
Arata says that she doesn’t need to worry and he’ll be the one that controls the demon lord.
However Hijiri starts to disappear and she explains that she can’t stay in the world for very long so she’s starting to disappear.
After that Liber, you know the Headmistress of Liber Academy, she pulls Hijiri away and says that she’ll be training her to be the one that will stop Arata.
What does Arata say?
I love this guy.
And with that Liber leaves and Arata gets stripped by his own power…
How did that happen?
Anyway we flash forward to Arata on the school lawn with Lilith.
They head out into town.
I like Lilith’s casual clothes.
So it’s a nice cute date like thing. Lilith asks where does Arata and want to go but when he flips the question on her she asks if he wants to go to get something to eat.
However looks like someone’s watching…
And guess who they meet at the restaurant.
Awww Kawaii! So that where those casual clothes from the Trinity x Heaven x Seventh ending come from.
Looks cute! And be their friends and to pay back for not being able to help on the Liber Academy mission, Akio gives them a nice free meal.
After that Arata and Lilith have a nice date while Arin and the others watch.
So it all culminates with them sitting on a bench at sunset watching the water. Talk about romantic.
Arata then asks if she asked him out to get his mind off Hijiri and Lilith admits it’s true but she also says that not just her but all of the members of the Trinity Seven really love him.
Aww that’s so cute. For someone that has no parents and his last member of his family is gone it would feel really good to hear someone say I love you.
So we take a quick look at the other haremmetes, Arata says this.
Arata inches closer and closer…
Lilith gets all flustered and stuff. She’s clearly expecting a kiss.
Arata kiss her!
Dude, missed moment but still a good one. He gives her a nice little amulet necklace and gets a little bashful about wanting to protect her.
And with that all the girls just pop out of the bushes.
And with that everyone decides to go to Mira’s restaurant for dinner and the entire series/season ends with this.
Great way to end the season! Wait a second! Where’s the annoucement for season 2?! Where? How is Lilith going to be the one that will make Arata destroy the world?
These answers are things that I need!
Season 2! Season 2!
Anyway…
I’m giving Trinity Seven an 9 1/2 out of 10. It was a very well balanced harem. No girl took the lead too much. Each girl had her time with Arata properly. The action is well done and the comedy is spot on. The music is well done especially all the endings. My favorites are Beautiful Sentence by Lilith and Arin, ReStart the World by Liese and Selina, and Trinity x Seventh x Heaven by Mira and Akio. I’m not fond of Shavababa in Amazing…I didn’t even download it.
I’m really wanting a season 2. Liese didn’t get freed yet. There’s so much more that can happen with her.
So here’s hoping for the second season.
Until the next season…hopefully,
Later Days
