THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------


This episode reminded me of Infinite Stratos in a way with those suits and fights in the beginning as well as Hana Maid May. I liked some of the aerial battles and the personalities of the characters though.

The characters' designs looks pretty good and Arnval Mk.2 is a cool and cherry girl. Their playful ways in that big house was amusing to watch and the characters all seem to be quite hyperactive so far. It was a fun watch ^_^

I really liked the fights considering how they are involved and so small. The suits are fine and at most I liked Arnval Mk.2 in the following,

She sure pawned nicely that other Shinki despite having the letter damaged a little.

So I see some attempted gimmick in the spoiler
from which I ROFL and wonder, as to why exactly but knowing these are dolls, I have nothing to gain as opposed to other shows from these gimmicks. Still I am ?_? Why Japan? Just plain weird of those gimmicks being used.

Now I also forgot to mention the GIF in the spoiler
that actually had bouncing breasts form a doll? HAHAHAHAHAHAH! That’s all towards it.

Anyway apart from that excellent comedy and action around to have fun with since Shinkis are the only ones that fight whom this show is about.

BTW Image Stitches and Pic Dump done:

A good impression of seeing the Shinkis in a Panoramic view. To mention that last one looks nice.

A nice introduction as to what Busou Shinkis are to Strarf fighting away with a Eukrante. Nice lengthy battle on that. As for the comedy, hilarious yet predictable. That hamster though....stay in your hamster cage heh. As for that other fight, awesome! Short yes, but was still awesomely entertaining.

Nice how I heard Battlemasters music used as a battle theme in certain areas, nice homage. I give it my approval.

Looks like I'm also correct with my theory that this Anime will go "dark" thanks to Strarf and other Shinkis.

Moon Angel and this TV version are different. Moon Angel's character is Tsubasa while this one is Rihito. Proof:

- Rihito as a kid

-----------------

- This hamster shall be a running gag -.-


- Found it cute how Arnval woke up Rihito:


Edit: I know I've been repeating myself but if I had to compare Busou Shinki to something it be Angelic Layer, not Infinite Stratos. Researching Busou Shinki will bring up Angelic Layer with both being similar sizes while IS is about humans :P.

Nice start with an epic battle. The action scenes look nice and for figurines 15cm tall, they sure are cool.

Really loved the design of his 3 shinkis though I found the design of the guy a bit weird. Haha I was wondering what could be in the "important" box. Was expecting some porn manga or something.
I also really liked the hamster, randomly appearing here and there haha

Looks like he just got his 4th shinki at the end.
I mainly see the animes... so don't blame me for not knowing about the Manga/LN

I was made for watching this :-P

Looks like it's more of a Slice of Life comedy compared to the more gloomy "Moon Angel", and I won't complain about that.

I'm still madly in love with the character designs and especially with Arnval Mk.2. There's something about her looks, her voice etc. that almost makes me cringe - in a good way :-D

I really enjoyed Angelic Layer, it's like part of history now so i'm glad that an anime with a similar concept is renewed. Back then while watching Angelic Layer i wished that the little partners had their own mind and this (now airing) anime made my dream come true XDD

Right now it's scored by about 4.7% of people who have it on their anime list ;-)

Many people do it like me and wait till they've watched the whole thing, so there's no need to worry about the score until it's finished.

Oh k. I like to give score at first ep and then change it ep by ep if there's a need (but if I watch whole series at once I wait till the end when it comes to give a proper score though), still encouragement is always welcome;]

I rewatched ONA again and the only thing I can say KONAMI did wrong is that they focused more on Shinki than on master-overall Busou Shinki is about him becoming PRO in Shinki fights;] In ONA main protagonist was in the middle of action, now he is drawn dull, like a background^^ but from the other side I don't mind, for girls are cute *w*

Actually, girls wearing armor and fight like mech is called "Mecha musume". It's not a unusual term. Because IS is very popular so people always compare everything that belong to mecha musume to IS. I do believe that mecha musume exists long before IS.
Back to the show, I really like this show more than busou shinki moon angle. Since BSMA is darker but how much dark you can get, when story only about toys?

Show seems..cuteish I guess. But a harem involving dolls? Now that is pretty...disgusting, or disturbing. Makes me think of that creepy Friagne guy from Shakugan to.
A lot of cliches from bad ecchi animes in the form of barbie dolls..

I see that people still don't follow the 3-episode rule, sometimes you might just miss out on something entertaining but.. if you really hate episode 1 that much then i doubt you will like the rest s:

What i'm anticipating is the coming tournament (Y)

Haha, this. xD This is why I rarely visit the forums, people just never know what they get themselves into and mistakenly realize somehow this isn't their type of anime. I can't fathom how people still don't know what they like or don't like when synopsis, genres, is all there on the main page. o.O Thus why we have "low scores" on it because people somehow didn't think it was going to be about mecha dolls in a slice of life series. xD
