The very beginning of Cold Steel had that I actually forgot about this scene but this is probably as bad as it ever gets, at least in Cold Steel 1 through 3 since I haven't actually played the later ones yet. I guess there's also Angelica and Musse, which never bothered me but I could see them bothering other people. --- I didn't do guru this year but azuarc can be in my sig anyways. ...

You're missing out on a fantastic series if you refuse to play these because you're crying about a bit of fanservice that's not even that bad.

Let's not downplay the harem aspects of Cold Steel. Cold Steel 3 in particular makes it clear that nearly every female character likes Rean, from the original class 7 to the new one, including former instructors, current headmasters, and antagonists. It's never super pervy, but it's just annoying and maybe the only part of the series you could call "bad writing." It does it on purpose to mimic Persona, but the relationship/social/fanservice stuff isn't as good.
Everything else about the series make it worth a playthrough. ... Copied to Clipboard!

it's a few dozen orders of magnitude less bad in Zero than it is in even Cold Steel 1 & 2, and you'd need to use arrow notation to describe how benign it is compared to what I've seen of CS4 and Haji

I felt Azure was notably worse than Zero in that regard for what it's worth. Still not as far in that direction as Cold Steel but yeah.

FWIW, while Trails has certainly drifted in that direction over time it's still, through CS3, below the level of Persona 3-5 or FE Awakening/Fates IMO. I know that's been said in bits and pieces over the topic but just to reiterate it all in one place.
