| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- It'd been a while since i saw a talking turtle(Matsumoto)^^ Miyako didn't act like Kanon's mum if you looks at it, more like her friend if you ask me XD Ookkk, i really wasn't expecting this series to have any sort of transformation...and they are actually fighting against an octopus 0.0" |

| lol. I wasn't expecting this to turn into a magical girl anime. Transforming cute girls, somehow knowing the words for a magical attack, saving the world from enraged sea monsters... At least it had been quite awhile I've seen one, and the girls are cute. Probably I'll stick to it. Needs a subber, though. Smells like Ayako. |

| I don't know why, but I like this anime so far. |
     |
| Still have no idea why I am watching this. |
 "A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| I like it so far. A bit different than the typical Mahou Shoujo I've seen thusfar, which proves that even unoriginality can become original if done right. I hope the show keeps up this good pace, looks to good to drop from this point. |

| Didn't comment on the first episode so I am referring to both episodes with this. It's not bad. I tend to watch magical girl anime out of tradition, there are just not many really good ones out there. Definitely has some good music and the Ending is pretty damn awesome. I liked how there were transformations without the typical flashiness like special music. Moreover I loved the different attacks without your typical one special attack per person. The action scenes were pretty sweet yet somehow mature and not as cheesy as in your typical magical girl anime. I also liked the art and the atmosphere, especially that thunderstorm was one of the best recently. It's also refreshingly calm and relaxing for that genre. Yet I think there is nothing really new to this. Story seems totally generic and lame. I also had some problems with the reactions of some characters (especially Kanon) - first she didn't believe anything, then out of the blue she felt responsible for reviving the evil due to throwing away that ring? Overall it is entertainment on the borderline to boredom. Guess, I won't pick it up, but I will continue to watch a few more episodes to see where it goes. |

| Same here. Magical girl go ! But just want to what 3 or 4 episodes... I don't know it's a magical girl anime. And i love the ending. |
 |
| Judging by this episode it's worth as much as doujin material. Well, it's not like there is much to watch this season so meh, let it be. I'll try few more eps. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| what is this? |
 |
| Feel like i'm watching a new version of Sailormoon... But i really like the way they use soft piano bgms for even action scenes. |
| This is the show of the season so far, not Umineko shit. |
| I think I lost 24 minutes of my life that I will never get back. Guess I ll put away 240 minutes for the rest of this series. |
| I am the light and the darkness tossed away by fate. I am hope and despair needed by all and to none. I am CuresDestiny. Fear me or Not it is all the same to me. <insert maniacal laughter here>  |

Agreed, I'm really glad that the transformation sequences are really short (only a few seconds) as compared to some other magical girl shows that I've watched. Magical girl is one of my favorite genres, but the long transformations are definitely my least favorite part. ;-_- However, I'm surprised that people didn't know that it was a magical girl anime, since it's been advertised as such. |
 |
| It needs to pick up, its quite weird atucally <.< |
 |
| A strange show indeed. I hope the series will move the setting to the sea at some point. |
 |
| I'm a big fan of the mahou shoujo genre, and I'm very happy with this anime. Although I love the traditional style, it's good to see something different now and then. And this one shows it perfectly! I hope the series goes on being this awesome! ^^ |
| Ugh, not my kind of show. I did like the first episode quite a bit, but this was too different. Talking turtles, transforming mahou shoujos. No thanks. Dropped. |
 |
| O_o I didn't think that it would be a magical girl anime... Although somehow they did a good job. I usually hate this kind of stuff. The talking turtle was kinda funny haha. The octopus person reminded me of Megurine Luka, Luka is waaay better than that other pink otcopus woman though :D |
| Even knowing it was going to be a mahou shoujo from the start, it's still disappointing to see this series going this way. |
| Oh. My. God. I love it! This is the campiest piece of mess I've seen in such a long time! The turtle giving commentary. The dialogue, the choppy animation, the transformations, the powers, the purification hug...It's just way too good to be true. I was so surprised. To think I wasn't even going to watch this. Guilty pleasure of the year! |
| wut?....This is so not what I had thought it would be from episode one's first impression. I'm still going to watch it for the lols though. noteDhero said: Guilty pleasure of the year! |
 |
| I liked it. Guess it reminds me of Sailor Moon also. Only 12 episodes though bummer. |
| Watching it just for Kanon. She is so win! |
 |
| It slipped in the pit of failure when she transformed. Before that it was a very nice idea, but I can't really understand the need of a transformation. Also, what's with the first kiss almost stolen thing? Didn't she have a boyfriend? |

| Well, even if I wasn't expecting it -- despite knowing it was a magical girl show -- it turned out fairly decent. It was fun to watch, anyway. Definitely reminds me of Sailor Moon, which isn't a bad thing by any means. :) Annisa said: Watching it just for Kanon. She is so win! Pretty much. |
     |
| Sailor Moon? NeloDeath said: Same here.Well my first impression of this series was horribly wrong... I thought it would be closer to a slice of life in the same vein as ARIA... oh well. Well at least it's got a nice vibe to it and the water effects look good. |
| Well, once again, the music during the fight sequence made absolutely no sense whatsoever. But waaaaaay beyond that is the turtle saying: Gotta drop it - if they didn't transform I might have stayed a bit longer but combining that and the obvious inattention to the script and the lolicon little sister I can't see any reason to stick. |
 |
| lolwut Magical girl transformatons~ |

NeloDeath said: Well my first impression of this series was horribly wrong... I thought it would be closer to a slice of life in the same vein as ARIA... oh well. Anyway, this show isn't too bad but the story of the summoned deity is cliched beyond belief... I'll continue watching in hopes of a more character driven show than the cheesy story slapped on. ^This &the ED is nice. |
| Hmmm it was average just like the first epsiode, but at least the animation during the fight was very good. On top of that, I don't particularly like magical shojo animes, so I guess next episode will be the ast try for this series, and I'll drop it if it doesn't improve. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| I was crying with laughter at the end of that episode. This better be a parody. |
 |
| I liked the first one, but this turned out to be magical girl anime :/ It wasn't bad, but to cheesy for my taste. O well, at least it was relaxing, and the background music and graphical presentation are still awesome. |
 |
| I thought it was going to be like ARIA, but then it changed so much. Oh well. |
  |

|
| I can't believe I'm still watching this... and actually enjoying it. It's just so... cute and relaxing. x) lol at Sailor Moon style transformation. noteDhero said: Guilty pleasure of the year! |
| This thread has convinced me to watch this. |
| I am not blown away by the first two episode. However, considering the director worked on Pretear, Sailor Moon, Sailor Moon R and Princess Tutu, I still have hope for this show. |
     |
| This episode was just o.k. I liked the way it introduced the whole "magical girl" aspect of the show. It wasn't all like "OMG mindless fighting with loud, annoying music!". It was a bit slow, and some of the dialogue was stupid, like when Kanon said something like "Something shiny came out of his hat and it's floating around!", but it's interesting enough to keep me watching. I just hope it picks up the pace or else I'm dropping it. |
