| Chase the cat! the cat escape. that prt was fun. |
| This is starting to feel like fruits basket with tarot cards instead of the zodiac...I was kind of hoping for more |
| I have to believe that when things are bad I can change them |
| Felicita x Liberta. Yay. And Nova's singing. Other than that... meh. Oh well. It's a shoujo harem. Can't expect more guns. D8 |
| [insert awesome signature here] |
morshuwarrior said: Wow, that was a lame episode... If next week's episode isn't any better, I will drop this show. |
 |
| This episode was pretty boring besides a few moments here and there. Felicità was very cute this ep caring for the cat and wearing that dress. And lol at Luca being stuck on that branch. |
 |
| zzzZZzzzZ But yeah. Plot vanished into thin air. This is NOT how you do a setup/initialization episode. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| Loved the first ep, had great potential. Second ep... a cat hunt? I really think I would've preferred Debito saying "Bambina" in his cool voice on a loop for 20 min. If I'm not shown an arcana battle royal in episode 3, I might drop this. |
| Debito. Just... Debito. His voice actor is doing a really good job of Italianizing Japanese XDDDD |
 |
| This was decent, but disappointing. I want more action or more plot development like there was in the first episode, not this lame crap. EDIT 22-09-2012: I have no intention of watching this anymore, it's just boring even when I'm skipping trough episodes. Dropped, 6/10. |

I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| U.U i was waiting for something different |
| This episode didn't bore me, but I am pretty upset that they wasted the second episode on something pointless like this instead of focusing a bit more on the plot I don't have shounen expectations for the story like some people do, but if theres going to be a story behind a dating sim it needs to develop along with the characters and so on. There's only 10 episodes left now. Great. |
 |
| Yeah...when I watched this episode I literally was expecting something great to happen. Like, maybe character development? Where does that come in? Chasing a cute little kitty's nice and all but it didn't help the plot progress at all and literally felt like an episode that came out of those "cutesy magical girl" animes. Blehh how I remembering choking myself after watching those... I'm not even kidding or over exaggerating, and so I don't know if I should even continue to watch this anime, because so far, it's dragging and has the possibly of crashing and burning even before the end comes. The plot for me is interesting enough for me to stay here, and some of the characters although I have seen variations of them all before...specifically Liberta (he's a common underdog character "trend" in the anime indsutry). I guess it sends out an okay message though, so I don't see why they should stop this trend...also it doesn't bother me that he's going to end up being probably the strongest out of all the other characters. Afterall...it's telling everyone not to base everything off first impressions! Guys who are weak aren't weak just because...and guys who are hostile and ignore you aren't mean just because...yeah. Well, we freaking want to see Liberta and Nova's reason for acting and being the way they are, or even a glimpse of what their true powers that are hidden inside. When is that going to happen? Is it ever going to happen? haha |

| *looks at poll results* Whoa, this anime kind of gets hate and love at the same time. :/ I was debating on whether to keep watching or not. Well, I am. I'll continue and go watch ep 3 and 4 tomorrow. Maybe it'll impress me. I don't know. Not loving the series yet! I love half of the characters while the others are just okay. As others said, it feels kinda like a filler! GOTTA SAY - I LOVE THE OPENING ANIMATION + MUSIC. <3 I never skip it. lol |
| The only thing that was the slightest of my interest was nova's singing lol. I like the episode though. Another thing why does Nova look so much like ciel phantomhive?   |
| WHAT THE HELL. This cannot be for real. Everything felt so forced. Everyone seemed so OOC. This goes for the heroine most of all. Her voice doesn't fit a tiny bit. Dante and Jolly look much different from the game, too. Jolly looks HALF his age. *facepalm* I'm not sure if the series focuses more on Libertà, but I believe when she wore that dress Nova's face was red, too. The start of this episode felt so stiff with the introductions. Same goes for Jolly later on... What's with this stupid attempt to show his ability? And this whole thing about the cat, too... It didn't even take 10 minutes to finish in the game. The animation quality was horrible as well. If this series isn't any better in the following episodes which I fear it isn't, this whole anime is an embarassment for all of the originally involved people. |
| from potential 1st Ep straight to a filler... what is this i don't even.... |
 |
| Meh, it was a cute filler, "bonding" kinda episode.. Still, Nova singing at the end was pretty great too, haha. And poor Luca.. Left in that tree. |
 |
| i dunno bout the rest of yall but Felicità remind me of Morgiana especially when she did the pout face |
After I Crush Your Dreams...... Your Bones Will Follow...... |
| Yeah, a really great episode - the three leads got closer to each other and I even got to kinda like Nova(who was kinda annoying to me) eventually as well as Bambina(who doesn't do too well as a lead female). |
  |
| 1. intensity dropped. no story progression. boring ep. 2. actually read all 7 pages in this forum to confirm this ep rating. 1/10 |

| I have a feeling that the game had a lot more explanations to it. This show seems either chopped up or rushed with regards to how the world works. Seems as if the character interactions had more importance than the actual system of the tarot cards though, which makes me wonder why the backdrop of the fight was even necessary. Or perhaps it's the reverse, where the cat business had too much emphasis? Without taking into account the game, I'm still trying to figure out what this show is trying to be. |
| I freaking L-O-V-E Debito's voice *O* Never heard it before in any anime. Sounds so SEXYYYYYYY. And he's a total flirt, aaahhhhh~ >////< so bad for my heart I love how both Libertá and Nova blushed when Fel changed into the dress as her present X) so cute~ Libertá is cuter than Nova, but Nova is way cooler lol. But I'm Team Libertá since his blushes are TOOOOOO ADORBSSSSSSSSS <3333333333 Poor Luca, lol. Someone save him from the tree, ahhaha ;P |
| Wait wtf? Where'd the plot go? We got re-introductions and some cat shit. Like what the hell? This is like the epitome of early 2010's era female pandering anime where they started to see anime like Hetalia selling by doing SEEMINGLY darn near nothing, so they started getting a bunch of low quality anime out there that had a bunch of pretty guys but not much substance. What they failed to realize about Hetalia is that due to the nature of using subjects that already existed and that already have rich, century long histories, the story writes itself. Heck, as new things happen every day within each nation, a new story unfolds every day. As much as people took offense to it, the creator was a genius. However, when it comes to others... we don't know these characters that well yet for a cat chasing scene to really even be all that relevant. Honestly, unless these were characters we grew up with or something then it's really hard to care about that. The pay off really wasn't good either. We went through a lot of characters, utilizing a bit of their intel and such... all for a cat. It's a bit of a wasted opportunity. Could have easily made this a more serious episode showing how deep the family is ingrained into the fabric of the island-- like they have all this info that it would have been cool to perhaps track someone down for a different, more sinister/important reason. We went with a cat, which just kinda sealed the deal on a less-serious tone. There's nothing wrong with a less serious tone, but from the first episode, they weren't very clear with that. Sure, there was the whole clothes being chopped off thing, but everything else seemed pretty serious. Now if they move forward with more serious episodes, they might even seem out of place. I'll have to see how the next few episodes roll. |
