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

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.

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 ^^).

Well damn.
I started figuring that after I saw the other guy on the roof and then no explanation whatsoever on him.

Oh well only 9 episodes left so I might as well keep on trucking.

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.
