| - overpowered MC for now reason? check - MC peaking at a girl undressing for a stupid reason? check - fall scene with grabbing boobs to save the girl? check - first girl already in love with the MC? check - second girl tsundere? check Jup, here we are again. Screening this for shitlist purposes. This isn't Kuusen-level in terms of entertainment yet. The production values were pretty good though. |
 |
| Still downloading, hope it got a nice amount of Ecchi:D |
 |
| Was that his sister that died in the beginning? Look similar and I think it is the same weapon as well..good luck finding her, ayato.. |
Jakerams said: Asterisk is actually going to be a nice series later on if they keep it faithful to the original but that's going to take a while. I'll take your word for it. The action and animation seem nice. The stupid retread "to-luv-ru" accidental boobie grab and peek crap needs to go though. leo2541 said: Was that his sister that died in the beginning? Look similar and I think it is the same weapon as well..good luck finding her, ayato.. 96% sure that's right. Big sister dies young brother searches for the reason why. |
| Well, looks like i found my mediocre action/ecchi series for the season. I'll give it this, first episode was pretty decent. |
  |
| I loved it! Usually the ecchi cliches turn me off pretty quickly but not for this one! The music and animation was SOLID! And the opening was FANTASTIC! Wow! I love the setting, too! The story looks different, I'm glad they're not fighting giant creatures that are trying to destroy humanity or whatever. I hate when magic highschool shows like this do that sort of thing. Either way I loved it! Gonna have a lot of fun with this one! And two cours, it has a lot of potential! |
 |
| The same usual thing for the beginning of an harem anime again. Lovely animations and battles, and great music. First impression ratings 8/10 This anime reminds me of Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei, but with Ecchi. Just hope the plot doesn't become boring. |

| It's exactly what I expected. It was filled with plenty of the typical cliches you find in magical high school ecchi/harem series, but since I'm not completely burned out on that concept yet, I still thought it was a decent episode. I was planning on skipping this one at first, but I'll stick around for now and see where it goes. |
| First episode was not bad. It's got every cliché an action, ecchi anime with a school setting should have. let's see if the plot develops or not at the end of the season. |
 |
| Well we got some introductions of the character and some worldbuilding, and some quite nice fights also there... The animation is alright under A-1 standarts and with faint but nice art, the OP is ok. In general is a pretty good start, however, i'm not fan of the setting, and i find it very predictable, especially those over-cliched ecchi scenes. |
| I tried to watch this but after 10 minutes I realized that it's another generic cliche harem magic school anime, I liked the animation and the music but I can't stand this type of generic shows, 2/10 |
"Doubting everything that you take on... That is very important. Open your own eyes, clear out your ears, and look and listen to the world... And think using your own brain. After you've doubted everything, there is a possibility of something real to believe in. To believe in something, doubt everything." |
| One more ecchi-harem incorporated with lots of sloppy cliches, but it's already better than Lance N' Masques. The animation is decent and the girls are cute, so as long as it's focuses on the Festa tournament (and pseudo politics), it probably would be a passable watch. Somehow, I have a feeling that Ayato's Onee-chan is still alive. We'll, we'll see in due time. |
 |
| Maybe because I haven't touched a "generic LN harem adaption trash" in a very long time, this episode was nice and I enjoyed it. Sure, it was predictable, but it just had a charm that allowed me to enjoy it. I'm liking this. |
| pretty okay first episode. Now lets see if it goes somewhere. |

| This anime is interesting. Can't wait to watch Ayato and Julis. |

I don't think it's just for mental midgets but... come on, in 10 minutes the story is just like every other harem cliche: MC sees half-naked girl and then touches her boobs (although his hand was on the ground first but who cares, right?). I bet that at the end of the episode another girl falls in love with him or something like that. As I said, I can't understand how people like this type of shows. |

Well, if you are entertained by a standart-formula food that tastes like nothing, served to you over and over again, only differing in the colours it comes but with the same bland taste, you most certainly do not have a very exquisit taste, do you? The exposition in the 2nd half was delivered in such an unproffessional way that i start to doubt that whoever wrote the script was actually human. I kinda thought about the south park episode where they show how family guy episodes are made. Wouldn't surprise me if thats how the japanese come up with their horrible light novels, rivaling 50 shades in triviality. |

| I had low expectations going in, but after seeing the episode I actually felt the need to comment on it someplace. The animation was beautiful and I friggen love the effects so far, the particle flowing out and the fire , just hnnnnng. And while it feels cliche (and had to pause and groan at the boob grab, not to mention the walk in scene) the characters don't seem necessarily dumb, I even enjoyed the first battle they had with her guessing what the main character was going to do. (I had the exact same guess as to his actions, and then he pulled a move out) Along with showing both our main character motivations right from the beginning. (Or at least giving one, and implying another.) not to mention Julis is a lot cuter in the anime then she was in the PV I saw. God it just looks so pretty... So you know, its not too bad. I think part of this came from my insanely low expectations, but I overall surprisingly enjoyed it. |
YEEART said: s0ck said: Isnt there another show that aired today thats prety much EXACTLY like this? That's generic LN ecchi/harems for you. A good thing is that Cavalry is remotely good in some way. Cavalry isn't even a harem. Don't be fooled by the anime cover. |
| Great 1st episode |

| Didn't read the LN but the anime is better than manga thou. ED song >> OP song :P She ain't got no time for fodders XD |

| typical A1 shit.. amazing production, generic plot. |
 |
| Guy has magical spider man danger sense, can hurl himself 50 feet and knock her out of the way of an attack instantaneously... freezes for seconds at the sight of underwear. This show better bring the panties 'cause it ain't bringing anything else. |
zurgboy00 said: Ecchi,Harem and Star Wars! THIS |
| Hmm not bad .... but not anything special either just like any harem , ecchi , magic anime well gonna watch it anyway |
| Music was okay. At the starting battle scene, when i heard sounds resembling Light Sabers i was mildly intrigued.. this is like Baka and Test with more serious fighting and much less comedy. VAs were fine. Surprised Touyama voiced Claudia. Didnt know she had that range. Story is generic indeed, but i'll watch a couple more EPs first. |
 |
| A good start for this anime, despite several clichés scenes, but it was a good introduction of the characters and the plot, and enjoyed mainly of the adaptation of the battles, I particularly quite like the plot and I already read the manga and the LN, so I was pretty excited to watch the anime, and this start did not disappoint me, I am already looking forward to the next few episodes, I have high expectations in this anime .. |
  |
| A guilty pleasure with high budget for once? Sold. At least it will be an eye-candy to watch compared to most poor LN-advertisements anime from each season. |
| 10/10 op fight scenes animation art plot honestly aots already i dont need anything else but julis alexia von riessfeld |
| Hm... Well, huge city and a nice idea of games. Also, fan service 3 mins in... Why not? |
| It's time you look inward and begin asking yourself the big question, "Who are you, and what do you want?" - Uncle Iroh |
| 04:40 minutes. Hopefully this will remain my fastest and hardest drop of the season. |
 |
| For now it's nothing new but it's not bad, decent start. |
| That's two rock stupid and insultingly dumb light novel shows in a row. I honestly don't know how anybody can derive even so much as a guilty pleasure out of some of things things they're so rote and insipid. gHostickles said: Hm... Well, huge city and a nice idea of games. Also, fan service 3 mins in... Why not? Heavy Object managed to last twice as long so if there's a running score card it's ahead. |
| Rakudai Eiyuutan + Blade Dance+ Absolute Duo + Magical High School = Asterisk War? Did I miss anything? |

| he randomly enters a girl's room without asking, asshole she was pulling the pants up, but then she drops them... ok animation and colors are very pretty. i might keep watching this only because my eyes feel joy SHES A WITCH??? im in love <333 of course his hand is on her boob -_____- i should drop this already the story with the sister is interesting quite nice after all |
 |
| This anime couldn't be more generic. I facepalmed right from the start.. The MC's design looks boring as heck! Thank god he's strong though. Julis is the only hope for this anime now! Then again, her voice is pretty irritating too.. Now then, 3 episodes rule for this. This one does have potential though. LN Harem + A1 Pictures is not a good thing, just saying. |
 |
| So far this anime gives me Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance feelings. This isn't a good thing, by the way. Katzedan said:  LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL |
