Well, it certainly isn't the worst of the new season... (That honor goes directly to Aku No Hana with no one else even being close!)
Will this be an extensive search for "What is art?", "How can I get ecchi photos?", or "How can I bring happiness to those around me through my photography?" in this series? OR maybe it will simply be yet another in a long stream of harem shows? (I never thought that I would actually get tired of harem shows, but I'm getting there rapidly. Offer us something else of substance too guys!! it's like sugar, it tastes great, but too much of it all at once and you get sick.) I'd really kill for a second season of Tora-Tora at this point. Slice of life with cute girls, but the story was about more than simply setting "dating flags" with various female classmates. And while I love characters with "boing-boing" as much as any other guy, the "double-J" air-headed student/assistant teacher is just out of place here.
I really hope that this becomes more than just another "Infinite Stratos" with photography instead of mechs.
