| Hmm. A bit confusing but I won't judge the series from a confusing first episode when a lot of other series also had unexplained and highly confusing time jumps smack bam in the first ep. While I normally find that these confusing first eps turn out to be awesome once you get into the series and finally figure out what is going on, it's quite a turn off to those who normally review new shows by a few eps and drop it if they don't like it. The OP is rather pleasant I have to say, I like the first half of it. The second half (I assume the chorus) with the Engrish was rather "meh" though. |
| Huh, how could I miss this. xD Funny episode, I'm really liking the quick humor of the conversations. Rhazel is cute so I'm defnitely going to catch up now. |

| Not sure if i will continue too. It seems one of those anime with good art but random plot which in the last 2 episodes the find some random final boss, kill him/help him/etc and its over without any meaning or anything else. If i´m aiming 4 good art and good story i rather stick with Spice & Wolf, Kino no Tabi, or Shinigami no Ballad... Actually, after writing this, i´m dropping this. I had high hopes for it. Too bad you can´t judge a book by its cover... (Too bad i already downloaded 6 episodes. Well, nothing that the Delete button can´t solve.) P.S.: Its not like i´m dropping it just because of the story... I damn hate those types of quiet emo main character, Honda-type female lead, and some good 4 nothing guy who is supposed to be some random character who likes the main heroine, althought i didn´t like the fact that they used lot of different types of clichê even excluding those characters... |
| My first thought was like "whats that for an strange anime" xD but somehow i like it~ Its funny and interesting |
   |
| interesting, definitely gonna watch this >_< i luv to be confused, haha..in a good way though~~ |
| weird episode it kept jumping from one event to the next and back again. mabey my version was jumbled =S otherwise it was a apretty funny and enjoyable episode. 7/10 for 1st episode. |
      |
| Meh, it was okay. Could be better. |

lowell said: I don't understand... did I miss an episode or something? I kept on stopping and rewinding a little to make sure I hadn't fallen asleep and missed something. It was like, Huh? When did they become friends? Huh? Why does she have to take a journey? Huh? Where did that guy come from? Am I supposed to know who he is already? Where was, like, half that episode??? Holy crap, I am so glad I'm not the only one that felt that way! |

| Animation was all right. Male characters seem pretty cliche and typical... But I guess the story seems interesting enough. The girl is an interesting character - and I like her magical powers and just... inner strength and everything. Well I've started watching it already so I'm not going to drop it... Only 10 episodes anyway. Who knows? It might turn out to be a better series than the first episode seems to indicate. |
| this series could have been so good, but they just mangled everything into an incomprehensible mess :( and I really liked this arc too :( definitely dropping this before it gets any worse. |
| I liked it, I hope it will get better in the 9 episodes that remain. |
 |
| I thought it was funny. Though, I do agree that the random jumps from scene to scene were jarring and not done well. However, I have the habit of not dropping anything. So, I'll continue watching. Besides, it's only 10 episodes. |

| For some reason, the incredibly fast pacing didn't feel jarring to me at all. I'm not sure why, but I was able to go along with the sheer eccentricity of it all. Very quirky characters, and lots of great dialogue. It was very frantic, yet I never felt confused. I really like the main character. She's hilarious. |
| Bishie alert. :3 But.. I got confused, when did Baroqueheat get introduced? :S |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| The storytelling is topsy-turvy, everything was thrown in your face out of nothing; feels like something’s missing even if it can be understood. It has a nice quirky humor. The art is pretty standard and the music’s good. The characters seem like plain stereotypes, although Rahzel is a strong main character, but I won’t judge based on the first episode, there are still nine episodes for development. This might end up being very enjoyable. |
I think, then procrastinate. Therefore, I am. |
| Not bad. Guess I'll kill some time with this. |
 |
| Pretty 'meh' so far. I see severe pacing problems :P Or it's just me used to less abrupt plot progression. I'll keep watching, but it didn't have that oomph it should have to make me anticipate the next episode. |

| Episode 1, was really good IMO (if you forget about the details of how Baroqueheat started traveling w/ Rahzel and Alzeid) ^.^ And after finishing this anime, I truly enjoyed watching Hatenkou Yuugi! Rahzel isn't the typical "shy, weak, and clumsy" character at all; really liked that part of the anime, not to mention the two companions she travels with (the two had awesome personalities too ^^). |
 |
| Impressive first episode if you ask me, this sure took my attention directly as it had a nice setting and atmosphere! So let's see what this story will offer us! |
 |
| I love how theyre so straightforward and blunt |
| Huhh... Why didn't Barroqueheat get a proper introduction in the anime? If I remember correctly he popped in around chapter 5-10 in the manga. |
