| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- A great new series has started and certainly its OP is very nice. Among the many features and richness it contain. It constantly will keep a nice focus on the following,  That of having Felicita in such a nice pose that is a teaser pose BTW. Certainly charming the crowd into her no matter who they are as she is seen in such a pose. Certainly the intro and setup start were nice. However what really catches on is Felicita’s fighting at one point. That being the following,  I am kind of seeing Felicita as a Brazilian Foot Master of fighting. Were prisoners developed a Martial Arts using only feet, so Felicita shows some of it in that part. Felicita is hired into my Harem as powerful body guard. She proves a lot on just this episode along. Finally I would like to point out to the woman in the spoiler So Arcana Famiglia, WTF is that? Simple put a magical story of a family of immense power and their life stories. Filled with action, plot and most likely a ultimate truth, what it may be is what I am going to see this series for among other factors. Might edit later. |
Ojyou was very cute but this is an otome game. typical fujyoshi anime... |
 |
| 1 cour sucks -.- Oh well 1st episode is good |
 Not a bad op song. Started a bit fast but got to the point. I want that bazooka tbh.. Libertà was kinda cute this episode and he definitely has a puppy/tsundere crush on the princess. Anyways, this series has potential, in a good way. |

| I think I like those guys who works under the main girl. OP is cool. The main girl is tomboy. Interesting, the power using the tarot card. So she saw those imaginations based on those power. Father is thinking about retiring, and Arcana duel to choose the next leader and marriage with the main girl, who is not happy with the decision and fights against him. Fukuyama-san's character is mad at his comment on his daughter. Yonaga-san's character always against him. The guy who always says it's getting interesting (Yoshino-san) is weird. Mother suggesting the girl to join the competition, it seems. Nakamura-san's character (with hat like Gilbert from Pandora Heart) is so faithful to caring the main girl. Every guy seems to be serious about the competition mainly about marrying the main girl or not. Seems like there's no "cute" guys in those guys. ED by those two guys who fight and not intending to marry the main girl is nice. |

I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Started kinda meh, way too many characters too. The OP song was very good, the ED was okay. Oh and the cast is freaking amazing. We have Noto Mamiko, Sugita Tomokazu, Fukuyama Jun, Yoshino Hiroyuki and Nakamura Yuuichi *head explodes* Oh and we even have Inoue Kikuko <33 I'll hang around watching this for the cast and because it's on Crunchyroll. 3/5 |
| Finally a good shoujo anime! I think I will love this anime. But 12 episodes seem really short. Already! |
| Stay Home and Wash Your Hands. Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones. Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus. |
| I mainly dislike reverse-harems but this one could be good. The protag is quite deretsun but she is quite proactive in critical cases and could defend herself. The action was descent too. Watching for now > Finally a good shoujo anime! I think I will love this anime. But 12 episodes seem really short. Already! They'll probably would make a split-cour. |
 |
| me gusta. ojou <3 zomfg want. |
Dont bother replying to my posts in forums, dont check them afterwards. |
| Nice start. But only 12 episodes? alright... |
 |
| Not bad! Nova looks like Ciel from Kuroshitsuji. Luca and Libera resemble Gilbert and Oz from Pandora Hearts. Liking it so far. |

| Dante's my favorite here. That bazooka is just bad ass. Felicita's both cute and great in close up combat although it was expected she couldn't overpower her father. |
 |
| Hmmm, not bad, but i can already see screaming fangirls everywhere eh. OP was amazing i need to say.ED is...not bad, but nothing good too. Interesting characters? Felicita, Debito and Pace. 3.5/5 |
 |
| 1st ep has alot of terminology. Seems like their powers are based on tarro cards... Debito is gotta be my favorite. I love his character design, especially his eyepatch, and his accent is just great. The VA has a nice italian accent to it that I really like. 7/10 so far. |
| Looks promising, oh and red headed tsundere w/ twintails ftw <3 |
 |
I enjoyed the episode. This show looks promising. Looking forward to next episode. |

Please, PLEASE tell me something is wrong here? I mean, 3,100th place for DVD and 13,000th place for Bluray? Please tell me this isn't a horrible nightmare? Please? somebody? Cuz if this show sells less than Hiiro no Kakera I will officially think Japanese otome fans are....well, weird. Jmal, are you here? D: I will find it amazingly weird if this sells worse than Hiiro no Kakera, atleast this episode wasn't a snoozefest. How about sending Jmal a message, I doubt that he's following this discussion topic. |

I would be surprised if it was any higher than that. You're gonna have to wait for awhile until there is any indication of succes/bombing. |
| I liked this pilot episode better than Hiiro no Kakera tbh :P |
|
| my first time to watched a shoujo harem |
 |
| FUCK YEAH, MAMIKO NOTO! She has a fucking owl. She is a fucking ojou-sama. She can read your heart She can kick your ass. She can talk you into submission with her voice of a goddess. Perfect. |

| I have to say that I actually enjoyed this episode. Arcana famiglia was the main anime I was looking forward to this summer, but I was a little scared it might suck. I'm glad it didn't. I'm defintely going to keep watching Arcana Famiglia. |
| Well the OP song was legit and I liked the ED as well. I wish they would of done the art slide show through the whole ED because it is very pretty to look at. This show...soooo shounen :D I did like it a lot though for a first episode. I think it has potential to be a pretty decent little story overall even though it'll be packed into 12 episodes.

How about sending Jmal a message, I doubt that he's following this discussion topic. Hiero no Kakera was the most boring show I've watched in a while. Comparing these two shows, on the first episode alone, Arana will undoubtedly sell more. If not, I've lost all faith. Mamiko Noto voice is a win. In fact the voice cast is all pretty good for these characters. |
| nice episode but i think the anime is a little bit too fast than a game maybe the anime will follow a normal ending |
 |
| Great episode so whoever wins gets there wish granted and marry the princess if they choose so, interesting plot, but its only 12 episodes so I may need to read the manga after this to complete the series in the future. |
 |
| This episode was good, enjoyed it alot. The characters are interesting and the OP and animation are pretty good. The ED though... is pretty lame compared to the OP. Anyways looks pretty interesting show, and next episode looks promising too. |
>tfw Youtube can't let me have nice things  |

For 12 episodes it seems kinda weird that they're wasting one with finding a cat when they could just go into the battle already.... |
| omg the amount of bishies in this anime :Q____ will watch! Vyudali said: Kurimu-chan said: So i wasn't the only one thinking that.

| Well it's kinda... well lacking a bit in my taste. But I certainly loved the names of each of the characters... an interesting idea... |
| Did you say "nerd"? ---------------------- Not "nerd" -- "node". |
| Very good 1st ep and I liked Nova. |
 |
| Hmm. Not that it was bad, but it wasn't what I was expecting. While there was some interesting action, it was decidedly of the over the top non-lethal type, and the plot might have to much angst for my tastes. I'll keep at it for a little while since the setting is different and the characters might have potential. |
 |
Cratex said: While there was some interesting action, it was decidedly of the over the top non-lethal type, Agreed. I kinda facepalmed when that one guy cut that "bad" guy with the sword and then the "bad" guys clothes ripped off. EDIT: And excuse my horrible English. |

Pretty interesting since there are lots of characters and it's like a Mafia.. And that bald guy with a very big bazooka is on the top of my fave character list in this anime. He looks pretty badass.. then Luca and next is Nova... And good thing that the Felicita can fight too..  |
| That wasn't that bad, actually. Was expecting something worse. The girl can kick atleast, and she doesn't seem like an airhead (maybe a little). Liking Luca and jerkface Nova. Will watch. :D |
| Liking what i'm seeing so far :) |
 |
| The main dudes were sexy. I laik it so far. |
 |
 Glory to Arcana, that was a good start. The taste of the Arcana system looked rather compelling and hypes me up for more when certain characters become competent at it, hopefully in the two months leading up to the Arcana Duello. The OP and the ED and at least interactions with Felicita at least indicates to me that my two favorites (Liberta, Nova) may be the closest to winning.  The action was pretty nice with both Liberta and Nova being my favorite to see in the beginning there and then later on. They are so funny together with their opposing personalities yet seemingly wanting to do the same for Ojou-sama. If only we knew what they Arcana was. Really I have essentially no qualms with the other characters, though clear favorite. Pace is definitely hilarious too with the food, Jolly looking like a leader, and Luca as the silly attendant. Strong cast. Pieces of Treasure is a nice ED and the OP is great too, great choice of visuals for both. |

| Fighting tournament over cute girl between "bad-ass" over confident guys with cool anime hair and super powers! What intrigue, what genius! |
LoneWolf said: @Josh makes me sad to call myself Canadian. |
| I like Liberta , I hope he'll win the duel but will kids win? I don't like that Jolly guy and Nova that attendant Luca is funny too bad, he doesn' t look strong I just like guys like him ^^ I think Mama should be prettier and Papa is badass |
| ARCANA FAMIGLIA!!! It's finally here!! The anime I was most looking forward to. And it starts off with a bang! Nova and Libertá both going after some thugs and in the end everything ended up with everyone participating in the chase, a blown up car by Dante's bazooka and some torn apart clothes from Nova's katana. Pace couldn't eat his lasagna XD Luca is such a cute thing~ Debito is..well, he's a bit crazy but I like guys with guns. And most importantly....Jooolllyyyyy!!!!!!!!! Last but not least Felicitá, who can read the hearts of others. The guys around her seem to be having a hard time and in future episodes, they'll receive more of her kicks. 10/10 for first episode!! I so want more right now *~* |
