When the show's producer Junichiro Tamura was asked about the controversy, he responded that there 'have not been any controversies regarding the series in Japan, so it is difficult to say. In the case there were any controversy domestically, we will try to address all issues with the staff and people involved to bring our customers a better product the next time.'

The reviewer Theron Martin gave a rating of B− for the first two episodes, stating 'the series looks like it's gotten over its initial problematic hump and should hopefully slide into a more agreeable story flow.' He gave a B+ rating for the third episode, stating that 'the series seems like it's angling to build Naofumi up more as a than the famously brazen heroes we're used to seeing in fantasy stories' and that 'episode 3 gives the best argument to date for the series' possible potential.'
