----------------------------------------
Eh...it was okay but I'm not really impressed by the first episode. It doesn't seem to have much originality and introduced a lot more charaters than I had expected. Most of them get some details of screen time so it felt like a lot happened.

Out of the main cast, I guess Miki is fun to watch with her personality being the type that can make friends easily with anyone.

Action wise, it felt pretty rather average.

Ehhh it was alright I guess? I mean, it's not that it's bad (far from it, it has its moments where I can enjoy it) but for a first impression this seems... okay, I like it but not to the point of wanting to crave more.

I think in the next few episodes I'll put this on-hold until then. I do like some of the characters and the designs look cute (despite being... rather distorted).

Frankly I'm disappointed by the lack of any meaningful characterization. So far all I know is which archetype each of them fits. Ideally we'd see some sort of motive for at least the main character. Also, I can't find any related series, but it feels like there is information I'm missing. Could be stuff from the game?

It was a good episode; not very intense, but otherwise introduces the characters and the premise very well. The voice performances and the music are superb and the visuals are amazing. Still, it would seem we'd have to wait for next week for the story to fully develop.

Singing idol high school girls, who transform into action heroes, that fight mysterious monsters that turn into ash when their defeated. . .
This is basically a far less dynamic iDOLM@STER ripoff of Senki Zesshou Symphogear, and considering that the fourth season of later is airing at the exact same time, I'm guessing that this show is pretty much doomed.

Well, that was....cute, I guess? Character design completely reminds me of iDOLM@STER. However, the first episode barely caught my interest, even if I like cute girls. :/ That's a bad thing... D: The first episode felt all over the place. That's the impression I got from this..

At least I heard the voice of one of my favorite seiyuus. I guess that should keep me interested, even a bit. :P

It seems promising, but not amazing. I'll most likely follow it to the end of the season since the first episode kept me entertained enough.

Can we just talk about the resemblance between some of the Im@s and Battle Girls though?

As someone who actually played the game and fell in love with it... Seeing all the characters at once was no problem, if anything more enjoyable. Sadone comes later in the game, and also shiho and kanon but they showed up ep01, because it's going to be an original story but based off the games setting and characters. It was also good seeing the Irous in action as well as some of the other mobs, looking forward to next episode already. Surprised there's actually a dude teacher too LOL

This was fantastic!
Basic premise given without any boring-ass narration.
Lots of great characterization.
Witty dialogue.
Lots of scenes that flowed well and not end up like a clusterf*ck like Knights & Magic.
And unique as all hell with a setup that twists conventions.
Unfortunately, due to it being a magical girl anime, it's a tad-bit cheesy for my tastes.

The fact that those two franchises have big followings outside Japan goes to show you don't know what you're talking about.

Not gonna lie but I plan to watch this cuz' there's a lot of seiyuus I like. Other than that, It's quite alright but there's no other point that I can find better than other anime and They introduce lots of character in that first episode too soon, I can't handle that much.

I still gonna watch it more I guess, I can feel It will get better later on, but if It's getting worse I might drop It. Heard the game is quite good though so I'm quite disappointed with this adaptation.

I saw what looked like waifu bait trash, and went dumpster diving. To think we'd even get an idol performance to go with the magical girl battle and some actually not terrible CG monsters on top with quite a few seiyuus I like. The girls are just as uninteresting, seemingly cliched, and GAY as I expected them to be. I don't know how long I'll be be able to endure the this anime yet, but this will probably be one of the ones I find hard to click every week.

as someone who played the game, i actually think this adaptation is quite good. i already know pretty much about the plot thanks to the game, so the lacks of character and plot introductions doesn't really matter to me, rather it was fun since this adaptation have new plot that never shown in the game. it's quite disappointing that the pov mainly focused only on first year girls though. i guess it would be hard to have all 18 characters get screening time only in 20 or so minutes.

I feel like this would be much better if they introduced fewer characters at a time, maybe let us get attached to some of them or even see them for more than 3 seconds before the next shot. All in all, this seems like it'll be fairly average. I've never even seen the game it's based on, but I think this may end up being a drop for me. Fingers crossed for a better second episode.

Not even Amamiya Sora can prevent me from dropping this show.

Battle Girl High School mobage not much needs to be said, either you will enjoy the fact you get to see your characters animated or rage that stuff like this keeps coming out

girls were cute i guess gamer twin tails is alright, but once again look at that insane VA list it's always these mobage's that are able to get a huge list of VAs even hired Sugita just to voice some nameless teacher!?

only real terrible part about this was how they didn't explain anything and the low ass quality 720P looked like it was blown up /the subs were quite bad most of the time

side note song playing at the start was Deep Connect by F*F only realized that because i had heard it before i even knew it was from the game lol

Subbers need to learn that first line is at the beginning and thus above of the sentence not below (or typesetters, I guess).

Other than that... feels kinda generic atm.

Since Koe no Katachi has a very high rating her on MAL, rated by nearly 100k users currently should we try to upvote the movie on the worlds largest database related to films? This movie only has around 4,5k votes at the moment. Let's all vote and make the rating higher?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5323662/

if we make it more popular it will raise more money so it will support the anime industry and make anime more popular between all the peoples since IMDb is not an anime site
so more quality anime will be made

I could not even watch the entire first episode this one is a failure on so many parts. It was boring.

1. Boring lazy transformation scene
2. Boring battles
3. Girls were boring being so polite to each other in battle
4. Song did not even make me want to know what they were singing

This one to me was not even worth forcing myself through the first episode.

An interesting first episode actually. The setting and the premise look solid and while still early the characters look to be pretty interesting and unique with a lot of veterans here as well. Combat scenes also were pretty good. The combination of a school and action/ magical girl setting i think was interesting. So the person in the cloak was actually a good guy though now that was unexpected considering her actions. Naturally since this is just the first episode there's still things that need to be worked on but so far im liking this actually


I like how the stakes of the defense also seem to be rather high as the town is after all populated by what seems to be a large population as well. Hmm Hoshimori girls eh nice name. Hmm pretty nice transformation scenes as well. Having the concert go on at the same time as the battle was a sensible move. Miki's team did well to hold out until reinforcements arrived though. Hmm its nice that each of the girls seem to unique in their own ways but at the same time fight well without any type of ego in the way. The team battles though was pretty interesting.
The idol pair was cute though. So it seems that the girls reaction times are starting to get slow then. Though its funny how none of the girls seem to take their training seriously. Miki's team though was the only one that fought seriously and actually used tactics in battle though. Even against Yuri's confidence Miki's team is still way over them in skill. Hmm the last scene though was unexpected. The cloak person just stepping in and easily blowing past Yuri's and Subaru though.
