Asfaria said: Her jealous followers and the stupid bullying they did got extremely annoying within a matter of seconds (what the fuck was with the Obama guy?). I really hope they get past that quickly and don't keep that up. I also dislike both protagonists: the guy gets angry for being saved? and the girl's design is strange and her personality is boring. Also, how did that class have room for 5 new students? I'm fairly sure that Takamiya (was that his name?) wasn't mad at the fact that he was saved, but frustrated/angry as to why Kagari would risk herself to protect him, out of all people. Besides that I generally agree with your opinion, however, I don't completely dislike the two protagonists. They have an interesting relationship so far. It'd be great if the anime doesn't go harem route so they can develop that relationship but with the female to male ratio I don't think I'm going to get what I want; but only time can tell. Despite everything I still ended up enjoying this episode. I like the ED, however, I can't say the same really for the OP. |
| Am I the only one that always get a hipster-like feeling when I see a manga that I've been reading get made into an anime?... " I've been reading that manga, before it was mainstream an anime!" It's pretty unusual and interesting to have a role reversal of the damsel-in-distress with the hero heroine. Still pretty cliched to have the antagonist come in at the end as a transfer student though...not that I'm complaining, because there are 5 of them that seem to be interesting in their own right. Edit: mangamuscle said: I agree with you here. You can look anywhere that has an official description listing genres of this (excluding ones anyone can change at will, like Wikipedia), and it will not list harem. If it does, then it must be because some jackass that can't watch a show with a lot of girls; without trying to ship them with the male main character. They're no better than closet-fujoshi. Let me dispel this misconception here and now, this is NOT a harem series. ... |

What do you mean THE antagonist? Oh, you mean the cannon fodder! |
neonBdragon said: The opening I believe has a little bit of CGI in it; I'm sure I saw it in there. Looking forward to the next episode. Great first episode!!! yeah, just a little, not as if it were a real deal |

| Honestly, why the F do other people thinks this is a harem? *facepalm* First episode is really good. I'm looking forward for more. |

What do you mean THE antagonist? Oh, you mean the cannon fodder! No. I mean the antagonist. One of many, as evidenced by the opening, and the ending of the episode. You seem to have a different definition of "antagonist", as well as "cannon fodder" than from the dictionary. The giant armored rabbits would be the ones considered cannon fodder. The Tower Witches are antagonists. |

| For the people thinking about dropping it because it's a harem anime, don't because it's not a harem anime. For anyone thinking about dropping it because of the male MC being weak, don't because he is a very interesting character that is very useful. |
 |
| that animation was really good |
| You're a wizard Harr- not sure why people keep thinking this an harem.. i did enjoy it even though JC staff is keeping this CG train going from the fall season yay(sarcasm),Kagari is interesting to say the least kinda found it funny of the reversal of their roles. this shows some amount of promise hopefully im not wrong. |
 |
| The show kept me interested the whole time. So I'll be sticking around for next week's episode. Hope the whole mob/fans idea doesn't become a recurring thing despite Kagari telling them off being quite satisfying. |
 |
| Nice start its nice an weird |
 |
| Reading this thread made me want to punch someone in the face. Anyhow, the OST was decent, and the CGI was above average. 4/5 for the first episode. |
| "whats so special about bonzai trees?" "They are the loli of the tree world."  Inganock of the Brightest Flame |
| Doesn't matter if this is a mahou shoujo or just another shounen harem or ecchi.. I like the MC and the main heroine is busty... he lets them stupid classmates of him bully and harass him.. its fucking annoying. another thing is that why does she protect him against all those rabbit thingy and against that falling building but she doesn't protect him against their classmates?? inform her about those who harm him?? bitch they're harassing him in front of you.. zzzzz hundreds of rabbit robot soldiers attacked in their school and everyone were still ignorant about it.. there were few explosions too! |
 |
| Lol Prez Obama. But I somehow hate these kind of fangirls/fanboys thing. They somehow just bring out the rage within me. 5 transfer students right at the 1st ep. Whether they're good or bad... only time will tell. Interesting first ep. Kinda surprised that this anime isn't a harem-styled anime as I would've have expected it to be one. (See all the hate on ppl thinking that this another harem anime) Anyway, harem or not, I'm still looking forward to the next ep. |
| I mainly see the animes... so don't blame me for not knowing about the Manga/LN |
| Pretty good start, I think JC Staff's animation in here with the action scenes seems promising and fluid, though the art it looks good also. The 2 MC's, Kagari and Takamiya are good, although Takamiya's character was okay but when the episodes progress through, he might be a promising character to the end. As for his classmates, they are a bunch of a-holes who just want to make him a weak character. I mean, come on, they even create some kind of club for "Princess Kagari" for protection and beating the MC up. That's some BS right there, just because she is the Princess of the school. Oh well it is a good start, really wanted to known about these witches and reasons why they wanted to kill Takamiya. |
| In love w/this one. Thank you J.C. Staff for another beautiful production. With this and Golden Time, I'm on Cloud9! edit... those action scenes though! <3 |
| That ED reminds me of Joshiraku ED ahaha. And I just noticed they were all on torture devices XD!!! I've read the manga a few months back but I don't remember getting annoyed with the MC. Self-deprecating wuss is what popped in my head arrrgh reminds me of Accel World >___< Well I don't remember dropping the manga so I guess I did like it. |

PrimeX said: another thing is that why does she protect him against all those rabbit thingy and against that falling building but she doesn't protect him against their classmates?? The rabbits and the building would have killed Takamiya, the classmate not, maybe Kagari wants the male lead to grow a pair? bitch they're harassing him in front of you.. If anything, Takamiya is Kagari's bitch, not the other way around. |
mangamuscle said: bitch they're harassing him in front of you.. If anything, Takamiya is Kagari's bitch, not the other way around. I'm sorry if I don't enjoy seeing the protagonist being abused.. like you do. |

mangamuscle said: Let me dispel this misconception here and now, this is NOT a harem series. I have nothing against harems, but this is NOT such a series. Yep, you will see hordes of witches and they are VERY interested in our male lead, but it is NOT a romantic interest. It is to a certain degree.... |
antipurefaith said: another good anime this season the new year started of good ^ This off to a decent start. |
| Episode was okay, male protagonist is weak and useless while the female protects him. Animation quality is good. Other students' actions seem a bit to exaggerated even if she's the number 1 beauty. Bit confused on why the guy's the princess that needs to be protected, maybe they explained it and wasn't paying attention... Have a awful feeling that this show will be one arc followed by another with them beating everyone of those witches one by one, hopefully it doesn't turn into that. |
| Pres.Obama he's invaded anime, even if by name only... It's a bowtie XD That atmosphere isn't gloomy, it's menacing. Evil cat girl that uses robot rabbits :D I'm in love JK, but still :O Transfer student (trope!) Well that was awesome, I want to see that ED subbed. |
| Well hello there, generic useless male MC who needs to be protected by girls #762... I hope this guy grows some balls soon (seriously, she even called him "my princess" LOL), otherwise I'm abandoning ship. Not saying the show's bad, I'm just sick and tired of pathetic MCs already. The episode was alright by the genre standards; OST is pretty good :) |
| I think I need to see more to get a better judge of this anime. Bow tie was funny. |
| Eh |
Tengoku_no_hakai said: Well hello there, generic useless male MC who needs to be protected by girl ... There, corrected that for you, it is singular, not plural and that makes quite a difference. |
| First show of the new year I've picked up. From what I've seen I like it so far. Haven't got much to go off of but at least we got some flaming bunnies. |
 |

I never read the manga so I wouldn't know if he will just be protected by the fire witch, or if the 5 other witches will join in. |
| Obama-kun lol cute evil bunnies :3 My princess <3 That ed is ok i guess. Why is she so tall? 3/5 for first episode. |
 |
| The hell man. i am very dissapointed. honestly i was a big fan of the manga, and i hope that JC can truly make this to a good one. first of all why would u use cg for this kind of genre... mecha? no i dont think so. hope there are much more progression for episode 2 onwards, but i think it is impossible to change the cg. |
| I liked it, they adapted the manga well, though i think the transitions for some scenes were too sudden. Pretty good OP song. fhana <3 oh, and the ED was so funny and cute XD |

My DeviantArt and Pixiv and still waiting patiently for a 3rd season of Spice & Wolf :'| |
| i don't know about this probably i'll decide after i watch 2/3 more episodes if i drop or not i hate the ending song though |
The spider is watching |
| This was really cool! The character designs are amazing, the OP and ED are both really great, and I love both of the main characters already. This episode made me laugh more than once and the whole guy being the damsel thing is nice and refreshing. Looking forward to the next 11 episodes! |
| Enjoyed the first episode. From how everything is panning out, looks like I'm definitely picking it up. Really interesting. Looking forward to finding out why she's protecting him. Pretty big oppai too lol |
| 5/5 even though its typical, but good enough to continue to watch. |
 |
| The ED is awesome, it's going to be hard to beat this season, a lot like Unbreakable Machine Doll's ED last season. Really like the art style, good first episode. |
 |
| I didn't really like this, I feel bad for the male lead because he comes off as being so pathetic, ill give it a little longer before dropping still. On the upside, I liked the character design for Rin Kazari ^_^ |
| This is better than harem & ecchi |

| If you think -it's harem -transfer students are main antagonists Just look at this sneak peak from next episode http://i.imgur.com/86SsjKU.jpg It's just a cannon fodder. |
 |
| haha kagari can just ignore everyone xD. Pretty funny at some parts. The Ending song. That was interesting... |
| Words aren't the only way to tell someone how you feel.- Tifa lockhart Which is it? A memory or us? -Tifa lockhart |
| After 3 episodes I will have my conclusion. But it seems to be fun. |
