Painfully average, but not terrible. I'll see how the next few episodes go before I decide to continue or drop. ![]() |

Those were the last things that I expected to see in this anime after seeing the opening. They're nice little touches. Speaking of which, the animation in the opening reminded me of Shukufuku no Campanella somehow, though I'm hoping this will be much more... substantial. I was starting to get interested in the plot and setting before they turned war into a sporting event. That just didn't seem right to me at first, though as they explained it, it started to make more sense. It's kinda nice to see an anime about war that isn't melodramatic about it. I'm kind of hoping that it will be a light-hearted deconstructive parody of war by treating it as such, but I'm not holding my breath on that one. Also, the protagonist looked kind of cool in his entrance to the battleground. If they can keep him from being just another dumb harem guy, I will be pleased. |

War their is seen as a game rather than actually problem, a well it seems kinds of interesting and new from many different animes. I am really wondering how this one will play out but i hope its good rather than a lame ending... |

TAKUTOOOOOOOOO the ginga bishounen has returned to dazzle the stage once again! I was hoping for a more interesting fantasy world but I'll settle for nicely animated battles and cute characters. |

shinki7 said: Eternal_Shield said: seems like a cute anime to watch ! Agreed! Cute series with abit of actions =] Looks fun! Glad the "Hero" isnt a useless guy with no talent. I like him :3 Same. I think its a cute anime to watch, if it gets more violent I won't mind. It does not hurt to watch shows like these once in a while. So I'll be looking forward to the next episode....I really hope this does not turn into a harem/ecchi kind of thing. Although I watch it sometimes...I get tired of it pretty quickly. I am a sucker for romance!!!! |

odd ... rather generic I guess but still better than the shit that was Dragon Crisis. what's with all the harem hate? bah :( I kept waiting for him to go all GINGA BISHONEN or APPRIVOISE. I prefer the cat people. |

Is it too late at night, or is that EMPEROR WAKAMOTO?! Recognized Sister and Azunyan immediately. Slightly heavier Takuto voice. Did NOT catch Yui Horie. Lol wtf was that impossible jump. LOL NINJA WARRIOR! That was one hell of a magic circle. The fuck, chocobo? -_-' it's a game? '''orz it's alternate-dimension MXC... ._. i'm gonna follow for a few more eps, just to see how seriously it takes itself... Modified by wheresthehandle, 04-02-11, 10:40 PM Don't forget.

I am always wary about animes where everything is so nice, with no real and actual conflict... It just makes me not care... Like so many animes, I love the character designs. Plot so far is a letdown as usual. Male protagonist so far hasn't irritated me, but isn't really lacks personality. ![]() |

Liked because Zero no Tsukaima, Utawarerumono, Nanoha were all thrown to the blender and then added a overdose of not taking itself seriously. |

The show was awesome until we hit the sports announcers. I've tried a few drafts, but I just can't even properly say how much it bothers me that they built it up as a war and then made it a high stakes(?) sports match. I'm motherfucking flabbergasted. Um... aside from that, it was pretty cool when he arrived on the "battlefield". If they hook this up with some well choreographed fight scenes and try and play up the importance of these "battles" for the country (maybe lay out how living quality for the citizens has dropped from the frequent losses and the effects they've had on the trade agreements or something", this could be a good series. As is I'm waiting to see what happens. If it goes ecchi harrem then I can forgive the flaws as my mistakenly thinking it was a genre that it was not. Moe will get the same treatment. For heaven's sake though right now it's complete shit in terms of fantasy and shounen/action, so it's gonna have to start doing something right. Things I liked. They made the chosen one an experienced acrobat and hard worker. That's good. Quite frankly the "inexperienced bumbling buffoon gets pulled into a new world where everyone's fate rests on his shoulders" has been done too many times before. Wouldn't want him to be an experienced swordsman or anything, but for christ's sake even Robin was an acrobat (well, Dick Grayson anyway). Thing I liked #2. Nekomimi/inumimi. I like that. Not much to say there, but it's certainly a plus. Also, the show had a very nice soundtrack. Would have been nice if it was a little bit less obtrusive, but within the context of a setting where it's people are watching this as entertainment and thus there's a certain amount of showmanship to it, it worked. They never play anything subtle at a any form of sports even. They play shit like Are You Ready For This. So even that was actually pretty appropriate. Towards the end the fireworks and such made it clear that this was likely intentional, but even halfway through the show, with the sports announcers and seeing the exact dynamics of the battle, it seemed pretty clear what they were going for. Just throwing this out there, but I think Eclair will be my fave. Cute, great ears, and some manner of warrior. All the cards are there. |

I expected this to be like ZnT but i was majorly wrong. I'd like to sum up my thoughts about the episode in the form of an equation. Chocobos + Tokyo Mew Mew + Wipeout gameshow = Dog Days If your going to complain that Yu-Gi-Oh! Mangas are on the top NY times manga best sellers, you must not realize how popular Card games are(as well as the fact that you get a free card). |

What's wrong with Kid show anyway? We have been watching Digimons and Pokemon, can't see anything wrong with this anime. I can't really remember what anime I watch but have seen something simliar, not a real wars but a fun competitions to different countries. Haha yeah when I first saw those birds I call it Chocobos, what else can we called them? Haha :D It's looks like a fun, but have seen this before, no battle. Next week :( You can't really hate Nana Mizuki voice and Horie Yui, my favorite actors. They should voice acting any characters, they are professional. Popular voice actor will make this anime show popular thought. I like the insert musics and opening songs :) Modified by Blackbird, 04-02-11, 11:18 PM ProBlackbird.Wordpress.com - Check out my Blog |

The animal ears and the war environment reminds of Utawarerumono. |
