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.

Top wo Nerae, Neon Genesis Evangelion, FLCL, Panty & Stocking, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. How awesome is Gainax?

About the episode, it's very good.

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.

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.

Well Medaka is half-naked quite a lot anyways in the manga. Apparently she feel no need to hide her beautiful bod because it's something amazing and should be displayed.

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
it leaves the viewers that her hair are one of her strong features right from the start. Moreover by showing her breasts and nice face in the spoiler
I think it’s clear what her package delivers in the series rather easily. That being out of the way, was interesting to immerse the viewer from the start. The intro of the characters in the spoiler
was nice. The green haired girl caught my attention there as well as the defiance of that opposition gang.


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
seems to me the obvious sign of fan service there. Other than that it has some more interesting stuff. Such as Medaka’s presentation here with the sunlight is magnificent. I liked a lot Zenkichi and Shiranui in the spoiler
the yawn and Shiranui were nice. While Mogana here looks like Haruhi if ever she would be mature. Got some vibes there. While Kouki here looks like the nice blond hunk that I have seen in some other animes. Strange enough it was that Medaka in the spoiler
was right near him hiding. I wonder why she was agitating her antenna there but I guess it will be to find out of his role in the series. Nice setup of the hands opening like a door to the school. I see it as something precious to Medaka being shown. The OP song Happy Crazy Box has been analyzed by me as people are happy or crazy from having their requests done or it’s just plain pleasurable or insane to do some of these requests. Catchy title still.

A very interesting opposition party comes indeed in the spoiler
a girl that wilds chains? WTF? Sounds cool! Another pink haired girl that has magical handcuffs? ROOOOOOFLLLLL what? Sounds amazing for comedy. On top of that the claw guy with the Hulk guy are funny already. The middle guy looks like Evil Shuu in a funkier drawn way. I like him better. The group pic looks really good in the spoiler
there is also the fact that the room being shown with lots of flowers here means loads of requests shall be done. Can’t wait to see them all. The character quick flashes in the spoiler
have many great poses with gestures such as Shiranui eating sweats, Kouki doing some cool hand gesture with Medaka, Zenkichi being all shy with Medaka and Medaka kissing possibly Mogana? Well sounds all nice. That smile of Medaka at the end was nice.

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
that was great duo comedy. Got to say that Hyouga and Shiranui’s part in the spoiler
was also good. Featured nice MOE there. While even after Zenkichi shit in the dojo Shiranui eating continued her MOE and I did feel sorry for Zenkichi here since he got beaten up. I noticed that despite Shiranui being cute from the looks of the quantity she ate. Zenkichi was funny when he suddenly realized something here. I got to admit I liked a lot Shiranui’s hands in the spoiler
the nails are well done. Finally I find the best of Shiranui in the spoiler
those are amazing MOE and hilarious faces.
Proves Shiranui will be a great funny character.

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
well sure has a hot body. I like her better when she was in loli form. Other than that. I liked her depiction here. Makes her look nice. Zenkichi is a fool to shy away from her. The be ox model looks a little too plain but maybe that’s a good idea.Lovely depiction of Medaka in the spoiler
those are renders are nice! Of course Zenkichi can’t get over the fact of his shy side. Perhaps he loves Medaka? I can’t contain myself of doing the following,

My heart melts at this. Medaka when she was a kid is too much MOE! Consider her in the spoiler
when she was young as already acquainted with a kendo blade. In thee end the whole Medaka/Zenkichi relation was shown well the council room. I liked a lot Zenkichi’s reactions and the flower garden in the spoiler
they really looked good together there. Zenkichi got his nice hug from Medaka, which was nice and MOE. He also got the armband he wanted. I would be happier with the hug.

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
gangster to the bone. Still Medaka looked good here. That skirt and shirt. I had to ROLF really hard at the spoiler
guy challenges here only to have his kendo blade swiped faster than realizing “What? What?” Yeah that’s what it looked like. It was ridiculous among many things that Medaka can run this fast and she even grabbed all the smokes of that gangster cause she thinks it’s bad for you? Pffff, they can still buy some more but if it makes then quit so be it. It’s even more amazing how she traced the lines of separating herself into clones to grab the smokes and the reactions of gangsters were priceless here. As if I though things would not go wild here we go in the spoiler
Medaka becoming Super Saiyan OVER 9000 blow off only to fly into space and become some super Giant that can hold the planet (Parody of GOD most likely) and speak to the gangsters.

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
she not only cleanup the dojo from the garbage it had but also made the gangsters into students practicing Kendo.
Now that is amazing. Liked her pointing out here and the way Zenkichi saw her here but the best is still a younger version of Medaka in the spoiler
that version is nice.

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
he beat the crap out of the gangsters in kendo. That makes him strong with no doubts. Medaka’s flashback here was nice. Despite that crazy Hyouga one of the gangster would have none of it. Hyouga’s freaky face still were creepy here. As a result Zenkichi came in time and FALCON PUNCHED Hyouga in the spoiler
now that was good revenge. Well done due to him conveying his feelings for Medaka’s justice. It was nostalgic really. Featured the past too. In thee end
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
he makes the kendo possible again and trains the gangster well along with having been charmed by Medaka’s beauty. Now each time a request is done it gets a flower here and it looks like Zenkichi likes that here.

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
since that looks like a cat suit. Well I am down for this series and maybe for the manga too.

BTW Image Stitches are done in the spoiler
let’s leave it at Medaka super hot ones. Damn sexy.

Intermission in the spoiler
is nice of Medaka.

For adaptations only. All original animes made by Gainax are epic.

Well the thing is I checked the manga version and the anime follows it really good + they exaggerate stuff. But I think it makes the series better IMO.

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

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.
