| the first episode is okay..but the pacing need to slow down a little^^' |

| seems very promising . I don't mind the ecchi elements but it seems a little fast paced.Will be looking forward for the next ep |
| I actually like that it is fast paced. It's a lot better than having to watch/wait for OVER 9000 episodes. I enjoyed this episode it made me laugh quite a lot (Cleaning Duty ROFL). This kinda reminds of Harry Potter O_o. Anyways, I figured that even if the series goes by fast, it could possibly be an enjoyable one ;D |
 There's my opinion of this ep. I mean honestly, this episode was nothing but fanservice, bad exposition, bad exposition, more bad exposition, really, really bad pacing, and a plot that could have been liveable, but wasn't in the face of all the above issues. I suppose the first rotten apple of the season has shown itself. |

It didnt even have that much fan service...The pacing wasn't bad either, i dunno where people get this from. It....went....how it was supposed too? Is pacing another reason people think they hate a show...im gonna guess it is. Pacing can be really slow, like those billion episode shonens, but i dunno about everything else. The first rotten apple of the season was bakugan, sir. |

I suppose the first rotten apple of the season has shown itself. I thought the first rotten apple was B Gata but I digress. You know, watching it again, I don't think this had that much fanservice. I mean, not saying it didn't have fanservice at all, but it wasn't like, let's say, Ladies versus Butlers. |

And the first shot of any significant female character is a fanservice shot, if that tells you anything. Also, I didn't say "Nothing but fanservice", I said "Nothing but *long list of things, the first of which was fanservice". And yes, it did have bad pacing. |

| Looks interesting. Hope that this doesn't go downhill. |
| This is a signature. |
| I had no plans on watching this, but had an extra 25 minutes to give it a try. Way better than I had expected it to be. There's just the right amount of fan service, and a fairly interesting story line. To nay sayers: What did you expect this to be, its harem. |
| Not bad. I like the first eposide. It was really funny. |
 |
skyisover said: i wonder what so boring about it? the art? or the character?It was soooo boring.. |
| First episode was pretty great, funny. But its one of those series that I feel like it will start off with a great deal of strength, and lose all momentum, falling into a pit of stereotypical ecchiness by episode 3. |
| I'm surprised at how good this looks! Can't wait to see what happens next. |

|
| I enjoyed this a lot. I really like stories that revolve around magic, and magic academies so this is right up my alley. |
| Even thought I don't care for ecchi and harem theme anime this one is a little better than the previous ones. Still haven't decided which one I'll keep watching, but that one has potential if they don't mess it up. |
| OK, yes the pace was rather quick in this episode. But perhaps they are just rushing all the characters in so they can spend more time on the main story line. As for the amount of fan service? I have seen shows with alot more and they still had a good story to rely on. 1 episode in, I am going to hold of condemning the entire series until I get a few more episodes watched and see how it goes. |
 |
| Not Bad at all :3 I'm going to watch it ~ |

| Well, in all fariness it's not the worst godawful ecchi anime i've ever watched, that award still goes to Dokuro-chan, but godawful ecchi is still godawful ecchi. |
| wtf is with the censors, they literally half erase one of the hattori's boobs, srsly if they are going to censor something, do it right, lets wait for the uncensored to be release :D |
    Sumeragi Kururu - Pledge Queen of Tool Toul To   |
| Definitely enjoyed it. Not sure I'm really at all into the ecchi they've thrown in there (in fact, I know I'm not), but the whimsicality of the narrative seems enough to pull me in for another episode or three. I'm a little worried it might turn out to be a harem, with Hattori being the requisite Naru Narusegawa character. Either way, I'll keep watching for now. |
| "I heard if he touches you, you'll get pregnant!" LOL. Best line ever. I have to say, this spring season is going to be a good one..I love this show already. Awesome first episode. |

| Wow, I had a lot of fun watching this! |
| I agree with a few other posts; Too many big events happened that it didn't feel right. 1. He makes a friend by helping her grandma and fascinating her about his dream 2. He finds out he is a demon king 3. He is introduced to the class 4. Fights over class pres. 5. Fights 2 minutes later into the show, with the same person proceeding with a second explosion. 6. Who the heck was the floating girl who randomly appeared in the forest? I did laugh a few times, but i hope it improves next episode. |
| It was good, I liked it. The action scenes looked especially nice. I'm just really, really hoping this series doesn't go overboard with the ecchi. Seriously, they're cartoons, I would rather they focus on the plot instead of drawing panties. |
| WHY IS THIS ONLY 12 EPISODES!? F***! Now I'm gonna be able to predict every plot point in this. |
| |
| Wow, I felt this opening episode was really good. |

felo said: Plenty of different censors in this episode. A thing that said "minaide", half of the screen being covered by blackness, and a smudged/blurred sideboob. It's strange because I saw some upskirts that weren't censored, and Hattori's boobs were all over the place. Argh, I'll never understand censoring, no point in thinking about it. DVDs. I hope Ryuumaru subs the ATX version if it's uncensored.wtf is with the censors, they literally half erase one of the hattori's boobs Anyway, I enjoyed this episode. It was fun and the action towards the end was nicely animated. The way they got to know their future jobs really reminded me of Harry Potter as well, lol. I hope the pacing slows down a little in the next episode, too much stuff happened in this one. |

| At first glance I did not like the animation style as I thought it was very "choppy" in the beginning of the episode, however the general story and characters made up for it. Though I believe a lot of the ecchi was unnecessary and/or forced, it didn't "ruin" the episode for me. I am interested to see where this is going considering I have never read the manga. |
 |
| "future occupation... demon lord!" hehe. i thought the anime was really funny, enjoyable, and entertaining. i have high hopes for it for the up coming episodes. i agree with Otaku7 about the ecchi was unnecessay and some what forced in scenes, but didnt ruin the anime as a whole. d-un1t gives this anime, a 5 outta 5. |
 |
| haha 1st episode was quite something ;] i hope it will hold this level |
greenmush said: Lmao this is funny but a bit too fast I don't think so. Speed of this episode was perfect for me, it could be boring when slower. |

| The story is good but I find it cheesy as in demon lord then everyone kill him because he is a danger to society but turns out he is not and suddenly a evil power takes him over only to be stopped by his friends kind of thing. The really interesting key points for me: magic types used, systems of magic, map of this world and mechanical/tools used in this series. So far I have seen a wooden blade imbued with magic from the user and that would be Junko herself. Torii is interesting also as a teacher since she can do protective magic. Soga herself was not bad at the end. Miwa looks like a ass licker (literally I only see him as someone who know information that might be helpful to Sai). Sai on the other hand looks like Mister I get all the girls, protect them and try to change around things. Among the things......I was curious about the rail tracks being magical and how do they work exactly=> Oh really? I did not know when someone touches you can get pregnant do any of you?=> Personally the censors are annoying simply because there three types......the sticker one, the blackness one and even the blurr....not all of it is censored since I also saw some part of Junko that were no censored like her underwear part and some breast parts where were covered.At least the demon looked evil enough here=> Oh well GIF time....a good start of GIF making: Junko fan service=> Junko attacks=>  Sai Akuto's attacks and they were brutal mass effects!=>  Soga Kena GIFs=> |
 In spoiler my anime list for now. |
| It reminds me of Negima, kinda. Might rewatch when the AT-X uncensored raw gets subbed... for, er, research purposes. |
 |
| Know what francis? "I was curious about the rail tracks being magical and how do they work exactly"... Thing is, it doesn't work. And who cares how it works in an anime? It doesn't matter, does it? It's a trivial thing that has nothing to do with anything. Don't try to apply anime to real life. (Again) Also, what's wrong with Korone anyway? : p |
| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |
Haylias said: It reminds me of Negima, kinda. BLASPHEMY. To be fair, they begin kinda similarly, but that's mostly because both remind me of Harry Potter more than one reminds me of the other. And I doubt this will ever reach the levels of awesome that Negima (the manga, obviously) reached. Or even come close.

| OH MY GOD. This is the best ecchi anime I've ever seen before. |
 |
| Putting aside the censoring on teh undies...I really liked this episode 5/5 :D Can't wait to see more of this anime. I really hope there's going to be a director's cut for this, just like with seikon no qwaser...because the manga is pure win compared to its anime version |
