People need to watch more previews, this episode shouldn't have come as that much of a surprise. That being said, I was wondering why Fear would have a reason to go crazy mode, and this episode made that quite apparent. Interested to see where they'll take this.

So i was sitting there during the first episode and i was like cool i got a slice of life magical girl show with some supernatural stuff, the episode im sitting there for like first half thinking the same thing then shit hit the fan. I love that they are bringing history into the mix and the "surnames" relate to the person/weapon.
that said we have three i have picked up on
Konoha Murmusa=Murmusa sengo, japanesse sword smith where the legends of murmusa the demon blade and masamuna orginate, also this makes sense in the show because it is said that the real murmusa blades must first draw blood before they can put back in the sheath i.e the breaking of valencias gauntlet.
Fear Kubrick=Fear itself which explains her affinity for cats and the scene that they are scared of her i.e black cats meaning you are about to meet your end=for runners of death. which is exactly what we find out about Fear that she is akilling machine.
Peavey Barowoi aka Valencia= Reference to the city of Valencia Spain which was once a religious capitol and made famous for its preachers that often turned poeple from other beliefs and religious into devote Catholics. Makes sense because she seems to want to snuff out evil and make things one way, and taking a stab in the dark the knights she spoke of seem to also be a holy type and this would add to the belief.
All this said i wasnt really excited for this show and planned on throwing it on the back burner but this episode has me stoked for upcoming events. Let it be awesome.

I don't know what to think of this... It's not that I didn't like it because it was pretty good actually but... things just started getting weird towards the end and I didn't expect that other girl to be a cursed object too.

What the hell just happened?!

From the first episode, I thought this is just going to be a slice-of-life gag kind of anime with some unnatural/magical/supernatural elements just because the main heroine is an unusual humanoid, mainly like Shinryaku Ika Musume. But NO! Instead, there's action, magical powers, and a dark past to all this? I thought the boy is just normal and was going to be shocked with the turn of events and stepped up his ways to join. But NO again! He's already well prepared to fight?!

C3, you've certainly changed my mind about you. Now...about the current MAL score that's depressing what the turn of events was...RISE UP! :P

I don't know about you guys but I totally called Konoha being the cursed blade, Muramasa.

Background of Muramasa was something along the lines of: If you draw the sword, you must shed blood in order to sheath it. Stabbing yourself also works but most people tend to die in the process. I forget the story of its creation though, I believe Muramasa was the name of the creator too.

Sayaka Ohara as the "Bitchin" woman = Beatrice from Umineko. YES, i totally miss her Beatrice voice! The guy with the mask....sounds like Char Aznable.

Damn what a intense episode, seeing Fear's eyes look like that really scared the crap out of me, great choice to use Yukari Tamura voice Fear as she's very versatile. I'm guessing the ecchi is a diversion to what's really important in this series: bloodshed?

Count me as the many who had the urge to drop this series at episode 1. More of this please!!

Yukarin's display of seiyuu skill in this one is priceless. She's great at doing genki girl roles. And genki girls with hidden sides *cough* Rika Furude *cough*. I did not expect to see intense action, much less a dark turn, in this episode, which is nice, because I like unexpected turns.

Oh fuck yes! I'm not convinced by the plot, but the animation and art is so freaking good! I love how they took a lot of techniques from Shaft and mixed it in with standard shonen action to create something unique. I was especially impressed by the excellent use of colors. I'll have to keep an eye out for more by Silver Link studios.

This.

The first episode was fine and dandy, but this episode was pretty much awesome.
The animation was kinda akward sometimes but overall prety good. And the end of the episode had me like O_O'

And yes. Hopefully the "bitch" doesn't die in the next episode. I LOVE HER!!!

EDIT! I knew I heard Beatrice in the "bitch" lol... Apparenty she's also voiced by Ohara, Sayaka

I read the reviews before watching this anime and was told that it starts getting better by episode 2. I was sitting there through half of it wondering when the hell does this story pick up!? only last couple of minutes where worth watching. I cant wait to see what Fear does... something creative I hope.

Most people who think this was awesome, evidently lack from imagination, this is a typical shounen anime (too typical indeed). Sadly it appears that the legendary japanese creativity is gone, we need new genres and something off the box, not the same shounen/supernatural shit.
Peace you puberts!

The 1st episode was a solid 5/10. Ok but far from being special. It did start to grow on me part way through the 1st half of episode 2 but when old smokey turned up the shit hit the fan! 0_0

I though it was going to be a fluffy magical girl ecchi thing but hopefully now its more than that. Better watch a few more at least. don't want to be cursed! ^_^

woah, what a shift there at the end.

honestly though, I sympathize with crazy blonde iron armed lady. Why is it so bad that she wants to rid the world of things that kill people? someone definitely should have toned down the "look how evil she because she's swaying and her eyes are bulging and she says obscene things" bit. I wasn't buying it.

Sudden change in atmosphere, turns out Fear has a really dark past which has involved killing lots of people with different torture devices ,she denies ever wanting to carry out those things
