I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Well, this first episode showed us a few of the main characters, and we have a few of those stereotypical heroines; the ojou-sama type, and the tsundere type. there will probably be more introduced in the next episode. Not too much happened this episode, but the episode left off on a cliffhanger where the main character accepts a challenge from the ojou-sama girl. The brief mech battle they did show looked pretty cool though, I'm looking forward to the next episode. Hopefully it gets more interesting. 6.5/10 Screenshots: |

| Unfortunately the LN didn't catch my interest after reading less than 100 pages....but I think the Anime can interest me more =) Anyway,the uniform and the futuristic theme is very kool...and what with the <facepalm> reaction in the class,its kinda old lolz ..and I love the girl>boy setting =) nice Anime or maybe this maybe the best anime for me for this season,but I have to check the Kore wa zombie and other Anime to make my decision. it seems Testarossa has become Cecilia in this Anime....and the personality also fit her very much as well...but I think Testarossa is much more cuter .Too bad there is no submarine for her this time =P This Anime should called Ore no Ane ga kyoushi na wake ga nai |
| wow the battle was pretty nice, if they can keep this up it will be a hit. Cant wait for the fight next week oh and the cast is awesome as well mioo <3 i mean houki <3 lol |
 |
| I liked the first Episode Great Expectation on this series, nice gear fight in beggining xD (remember strike witches xD) |
 |
| nice first episode. This might be my second fav anime this season next to Beelzebub |

Also so far very good series it has a lot of potential just gotta wait and see how they use it |
| the dialogue is a bit choppy but otherwise the show is ok. the lead male just seems a bit too annoying. they did not need to emphasize that they were childhood friends, they only needed to say that once. for once why don't we have a guy that can react to a misunderstanding in a normal way. |
| First ep was great I'm looking forward to the other eps but man this show is the ultimate harem anime 1 guy at a school with only females |
| ho its out already gonna hunt it down now XD the story is kinda mediocre but the action is great hope that kind of action will be more because its the selling point of this series |

| The fight at the begining was ok, but the school part was extremely boring and cliched, I barely managed to finish it. I'll give it one more go before deciding to drop it or not. |
| Probably the most anticipated Anime this season in my own opinion. And for the first episode it wasn't bad at all, i was expecting something else and i am glad it didn't turn out the way i thought it would be. Only thing was that the main character seemed a bit dumb or rather his actions where. Houki seemed interesting i thought she would be more outspoken tho. And why do Japanese think that we Europeans give a dam about Nobility? I mean Nobility lost there influence and privileges when the French Revolution ended, and Nobel titles and such are hardly used since then. Yet Anime makes it seem like it's still some big deal here. |
| I thought this was an okay introduction. I want to see the fight at the next episode. |
 |
| Not bad for a first episode. I like the whole futuristic feel. The action in the beginning looks pretty cool. This is what I expect from a mecha genre. Star Driver can go die now. :P I feel sorry for any British people watching this show. I mean, they portray the transfer student from England like such a snot. :( Can't wait for episode 2: Let's see how this duel turns out! |
    |
| A dumb harem |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| Eh, the characters are pretty stereotypical, but the fight was really awesome! As long as there's more of that in the series, I'll definitely keep watching. |
 |
| This started off pretty interesting, but after introducing a pile of cliches, it became pretty stupid. I was really hoping Houki wouldn't be such a tsundere, in spite of her stereotypical hairstyle. Main character is also kind of a dumbass. |
| Based on the first episode this show looks like it'll be lots of fun love the character design. :) |
 |
| This story can be far better if it becomes a love polygon with the guy, his childhood friend and the English girl instead of a harem. So when do they start blowing things up? |
 |
| I haven't watched it yet since I'm still downloading it. I am hoping that its not another generic, non-sensical harem with a dumb, fag male lead that gets punched or nosebleeds unnecessarily. |

| Im liking this already, the beginning little training was really cool IMO. It kind of reminds me to Ladies vs Butlers >.< which i also loved. I hate how it ended the first episode not because it was bad but because i want more and i cant have it till next week -.- |
 |
| Meeeh, I think I prefer Mazinkaiser SKL for the mecha and the hot chicks. Still not bad, 3/5 |
| I thought it was good. It has potential. |
| Super Moe Tsundere Ecchi Acktchun!!!!! What the hell? Is this what anime's become!? |
 |
| Definitely looks like the least original title this season, but the execution wasn't too bad and it does seem to have some potential... |
| Moe Moe Kyun~ ... oh wait. Wrong anime. Looked good so far. That mech fight sure is tight. |
| Meh, just meh. The season has already started to disappoint me. I'll give the next 2 or so episode a chance, but if it won't pick up, I'm dropping this. |
 |
| The fight scene was good. Girls > Boys was something new. I hope we can see something special about Orimura being the only male IS pilot. |
| It's pretty amazing anime. For me 1st episode promising some action, tension between main characters and cool mech fight. |
  |
| The mecha action, AWESOME! The Harem antics... Not so much. |

| hmm.. the battle at the start really looks promising, now I'm looking forward to other future battle scenes.. I can only see typical harem cliches on every corner during the episode but so far my first impression for the show is really good.. and what a bummer, I was hoping the duel will be included this episode.. Nice to see that Natsuno's seiyuu will be playing Ichika, always liked the sound of his voice.. YEY!! Hikasa Youko ED song FTW!! ^_^ and I'm already dying to know why the hell only females can operate IS?? just hope the answer won't disappoint.. |

| It might be watchable, but I couldn't tell. I was too distracted with the shitsub work done by Ayako. I wish I were weaboo enough to learn more Japanese. |
| Sigh such generic characters. Seriously they could of been a little original. The blond snop, the kendo girl that acts tuff but actually soft. Really cmon. Whatever I hope the actions good. |
 |
| It wasn't as harem driven as I imagined but hey, it's the first episode. The opening was pretty awesome, good animation but really, I was bored. I don't even know why I was bored, but I just was. I hope this anime will shape up into something half decent cause right now it's a good looking box but nothing inside the box. |
    |
| Well then...I should have expected this. Gonna give it a few more episodes...love this image macro though.  |
| Ok™ |
| Cliffhanger ):< |
  |
| Show looks very promising, I'm happy. |
| The lack of fan service was disappointing, however the fact that he's surrounded by girls gives me hope that there will be some ecchi stuff sooner or later :P |
| As others have mentioned, a bit cliched as of now, but still fun. I think the main deal breakers for me will be keeping the fanservice to a manageable level and making Ichika a little less generic. I get that he kinda has to be the dorky nice guy seeing as he's the only guy in an all-female school, I'd just like to see more character development on his end. As for the fanservice issue, again, I get that it's a natural consequence of the all-female environment and am OK with that, I just hope it doesn't go overboard to the point that the overall narrative suffers. Anyways, I'm really looking forward to seeing more of this show and can only pray that it doesn't let me down. Also, a super elaborate academy just to teach a sport? Unless I'm missing something, that seems kinda weird. |
| Ha-cha! |
| the quality...omg the quality is so good...or mb its just episode 1.... also.. the CGs are kidna disturbing.. |
| Not usually a mecha fan but this seems like it could be good. Ok, every single character so far is a typical harem stereotype, the roch blonde exchange student, the tsundere childhjood friend and so on. Character design and animation are nice....overall 4/5 start i guess. |
 |
| That was...very generic to say the least. That battle in the beginning sure caught my attention. Was hoping to see at least 1 IS unit in the episode, but they barely talking about it. =3= There's always next week. |
