Very good first impression, the drawings and effects are top notch (as expected of key), and the soundtrack in the background is pretty good. |

It has the potential to be great, and an even greater potential to fail completely. Let's hope for the former. |

This episode has me interested in the story. I hope this continues to be interesting. |

Hmmm, I'm not really sure about this... I'm a little confused and all but I think I'll keep watching. The animation was awsome, the story seems promising and I loved the insert song. To be continued...  |

seizonsha said: Most of them probably (myself included) haven't played the VN. Anime comparison's it does have a lot of differences to the other three they have produced animated. Do I have a feeling they will probably loose some of these along the way? Yes yes they will though for right now it seems much different in comparison to how Clannad, Air, or Kannon started off. It's really the facts that they are having a lot more action, attempted antagonists, and even a slightly different female lead from the other three, a few more mains who are actually guys than usual compared to the other of Key's anime adaptations that make this feel different while still has the obvious features that make easy to tell yup its by Key.The first episode was entertaining. Although nothing much actually happened it was a nice way to introduce the setting and show us the central characters. I won't say anything about 'been there, done that', because after 60 years of TV anime it is bound to become repetetive sometime... Still I found it a bit too obvious that they were often refering to popular shows around. The Haruhi similarities are still a bit strong for my taste, but maybe that's because I don't like Haruhi that much. And I don't see some people's point in saying that this is not like every other Key game...heck, sometimes I wondered why I didn't need to press a button for the text to appear... So far it's a typical Key-story in a typical school-environment, with some promising story-bits. So I will just hope they don't go about doing random side missions for 10 episodes now a'la Sora no Woto and throw us some unforeshadowed plot twist in the face during the last two episodes. Though I do hope I am wrong and that they do stick to some of these difference to a some what consistent level.    |

Maybe this just ain't his type of anime, I'm interested in romance, action, adventure, comedy and I just love skip beat, and there are other series I just dislike, such as white album. also is that ulquiorria with boobs? |

Whoa, this was nice! I really like the concept, the characters seem interesting (even tough the main girl reminds too much of Haruhi) and the animation looks really good. So far, it's definitely my favorite show of this Spring Season.      |

Some how, Yuri makes me think of Haruhi lol xD. Anyway, I guess his is the so far strongest first episode of the season. And that's even without any/few (to me) known names in the cast list : o Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. |

Eh, amnesia is overused and is stupid and probably didn't even need to be used for this story. That said, I was entertained with the first episode. I like how they showed how the different groups work together in operations. Reminded me quite a bit of Gokujou Seitokai in that sense. That said, this is going to be boring if Angel just stands there getting shot at all the time. Hopefully some sort of repercussion will happen with this little 'rebellion' and the series will have a main plot. That's my hope at least. Currently blogging at Chocolate Syrupy Waffles |

Pretty so-so start. It still has time to get a lot better.  |
