THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well the first episode was aired about half a hour ago, it was really good. I don't like the genre of the opening and endings but they were nice, the OST was great. The first episode was really good, hope they don't ruin anything in the future, since I really like the manga and for a good anime. The only thing that really annoyed me is the over ecchi which was not in the manga and the hair coloring, the rest are awesome. (excuse me for any wrong grammar, english is not simple for me) |

It the first anime of Gainax which I'm watching so I didn't expect that. It's not like it very bad that I couldn't watch it, just too much and unnecessary... |

Shiranui can eat and she is quite cute. Zenkichi is no wimp as he flat out pwned Hyuuga, and Medaka is badass as well. ![]() |

lol, the blue haired guy sounded exactly like Oga, Tatsumi from Beezlebub (probably the same VA). Seeing pantsu shots in the OP was all I needed to know that the show will be tilted towards the ecchi side at times. |

Was actually better than expected; even though Isin did write this, was still weary of it given the genre. But hey, was fairly enjoyable. Seems to be a parody in ways. Modified by mdz, 04-05-12, 4:35 PM |

Aki Toyosaki as Medaka is a giant NOPE.AVI I liked the episode, but I guess my expectations were too high. Now I know I must not trust Gainax. |

This is a excellent that does what Seitokai no Ichizon did but in a more aggressive way and I find it more action packed. It’s also more ridiculous. Considering Hyouga changed totally for the better. About the beginning, I liked it that they showed Medaka’s hair flowing in the spoiler About the OP, one thing I will quickly mention is that it features fan service in the form of Medaka having her ass exposed with panties in space and while landing in the spoiler A very interesting opposition party comes indeed in the spoiler About Zenkichi and Shiranui. Both have a interesting relation from the start. Zenkichi looked death tired here while Shiranui was cute from the start. I did laugh at Zenkichi’s facial expression here when he got angry. Shiranui just got cuter here. Amazing comedy of at the same time of Zenkichi and Medaka in the spoiler About Medaka Kurokami, Medaka is quite charming indeed. Apparently she also has some kind of hypnotism in the following, ![]() Obvious nice fan service of her in underwear or is that swimsuit in the spoiler ![]() My heart melts at this. Medaka when she was a kid is too much MOE! Consider her in the spoiler About the Medaka’s dojo clean up. Now that was crazy. First of all very nice scenery of the school here. Shows it very nicely and I liked the way the buildings are placed. Seems to be efficient. The depiction of the dojo was nice here. Good scenes. The guys sure did not look nice in the spoiler Now that sounds ridiculous so does Zenkichi think here. Medaka was still nice with her fan pose. In thee end Madoka did amazingly well in the spoiler About the real request, now the real deal I was surprised TBH. Now I did not expect that Hyouga would hit Zenkichi here but Hyouga is more insane in the brain than I though according to the spoiler Medaka catches Hyouga plotting against Zenkichi. That same gesture as Hyouga does was hilarious. I liked her fan pose here. Seems to be a good fad with her and I admit fans do go well with Medaka. So the real deal is that Shiranui is fed up with Hyouga’s personality and wants him to change. And so Hyouga gets hypnotized somehow by Medaka’s charms here. Hyouga thus changes for the best in the spoiler About the preview, some problems with gym shoes? Certainly will be fun to see the girl’s reaction to Medaka here. Looks like here goes the dog search? It looks like a dog search from the looks of it here. Shiranui looks MOE in a hard hat. Poor Zenkichi again, beaten up. Can’t wait to see Medaka MOE in the spoiler BTW Image Stitches are done in the spoiler Intermission in the spoiler Modified by Yumekichi11, 04-04-12, 7:50 PM |

But I think it makes the series better IMO.KokoP said: Aki Toyosaki as Medaka is a giant NOPE.AVI I liked the episode, but I guess my expectations were too high. Now I know I must not trust Gainax.

As a manga reader, I say that the first episode was almost exactly like reading the first chapter animated, except for most of the dialogue and a few scenes being cut out for obvious reasons, and well... the whole Medaka god kendo hall exploding scene was added lol. And people shouldn't complain about the fanservice in a GAINAX anime, either way, it's only Medaka who gets this treatment anyway, and I don't it's that hard to look past them is it O.o Slurpentine said: And with this, Medaka is a Gainax girl hopefully the show gets an insane fucking ending like the other Gainax productions And oh, if the anime actually goes for 45 episodes, no doubt we will get a fucking awesome ending if they plan it out how I hope they would. <!--link--><a href="http://myanimelist.net/animelist/Misdreavius&sclick=1"> ![]() Tonight... we are young... so let's set the world on fire, we can burn brighter, than the sun... |
