| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ----------------------------------------  Being a manga and LN fan, I was definitely looking forward to this. First episode was what I expected. Lol @ the beginning, dat imouto. The art designs were okay I guess. Looks a bit generic. Origami Tobiichi was portrayed in the way I expected her to be in the classroom. Their teacher is kinda funny. Ya, the action was done this episode and surprise surprise, Tobiichi is a ... Yup, not too shabby for me so far. I also laughed @ the ED song. |
 |
| Seems to have a good balance of serious as well as comedy. I think I will enjoy this. |
 |
| Kotori went from cute, hyperactive and desirable little sister to sadistic and sexy and Kyouhei is an M who loves her punishment, good god that was unexpected. Touka vs Origami fight was pretty good Tamae is a mess and a half. |

| Excellent start. I am a reader of the light novels, one of my favorites. Hopefully they will continue to do a good job with it. Tooka is too cute, I am waiting for her dere lines... ED is awesome! |

As a fan of Tsunako's art, I found the character designs astounding. I'm aware she didn't do the anime characters but the original designs were hers. Only briefly watched raws of Ep1. Enjoyed what I saw, will wait for subs. /need better quality video for a certain gif. |

(was another show RDG i think) that aired with that first, will it be similar, airing on this nico thing 2-3 weeks ahead of the normal tv airings the subbers use? hm, answered my own question, tho not as bad as RDG, only a week difference The anime premiered on March 30, 2013 on Niconico, while on TV, it premiered on April 6, 2013 on Tokyo MX. |

| Great start. I'm reading the LN, so I've been looking forward to this. I quite like the art style |
Paul said: Only briefly watched raws of Ep1. Enjoyed what I saw, will wait for subs. /need better quality video for a certain gif. Same here. Got tired of waiting, watched the raw. Was amazed. Chars look very good and the action scene was very good too. I see you have the same idea i do about making some gifs. This looks to be a very good series. |

The Nico one I found kept changing in quality, I think the rip was bad or something, it kept going from good quality then randomly into bad quality/blur/slight mosaic/etc which started bugging me. For example, keeps jumping from this to this Video is also off sync with audio but not a problem if you know how to fix that. |
| I think this might be the anime I'm most excited for this season. First episode was great and I can't wait for more. It reminds me a lot of Kami Nomi zo Shiru Sekai. |

| I am still trying to comprehed this episode, but words are failing me. The best option should be forgetting everything and then reboot. Otherwise I may take some damage. |

Tohka_Yatogami said: I lol so hard at the ending song. I definitely wasn't expecting that XD Is that really going to be the ED "song?" Hmm, interesting first episode. I haven't read the LN so I don't really know what this is about, but I love the animation and the action scenes were entertaining to watch. I also wasn't expecting Kotori to change personalities like that o_O definitely a surprise. |
| episode was pretty ok (i had zero expectations)..atleast right until shidou was about to get conscious. so its basicly TWGOK with tons of panty shots and lots of action but with less likeable characters ..atleast for me sofar (tho im loving Reine already <3). the music felt really off in the second half tho..the animation is alrite..nothing special but good enough. will keep watching. 3/5 |
| Well Kotori being the commander was unexpected, she gets a total haul of personality when shes commandering,a cool little action scene and now Shido gets the run down of his task in being the next Keima, kind of. I liked the sci-fi aspects of the setting of the story and other than watching the fighting clips and expecting some action i think i will like this one. |
| Haven't read any of the light novels or manga but i like the art and the premise of this seems pretty ok but unoriginal, hopefully it turns into something enjoyable. |
 |
| LOL @ kyouhei being M. loli sister had me hooked right @ the beginning. too much pantsu. so hes gonna have to conquer the spirit? lo wut |
Dont bother replying to my posts in forums, dont check them afterwards. |
| Kotori... maybe it's just me but..................... I already don't like her. And that Tobiichi girl or whatever her name is. But the Spirit girl......... she's someone I'm interested in. Maybe it's one of those stories where the main guy learns about all that stuff and the Spirit is the bad guy and his friends are trying to save humanity but it's actually the other way around. As in the Spirit ins't actually the bad guy. She/they are trying to save the world and the Anti-Spirit people are preventing her/them from doing so. I dunno... I just got that feel... |
| It barely started and i already hate his sister... oh well who cares as long as it looks interesting to draw my attention from her. |

| BTW Kotori won't change. |

| i cant w8 to see more episodes of this!!! |
| Hate Keeps me warm |
| It's alright. A great premise though, I can't wait to find out what happens next. |

| I've been waiting for this anime to air for a couple of months now and I'm very much looking forward to how it unravels. The first episode was good for my preference. |
| Felt a little rushed towards the end where they were telling him about what they do, the manga did not seem as rushed. Also I read that the manga was canceled which is too bad because it was good. At least there is a anime though. 5/5 Just what I expected, which is good. |
| If strength is justice, then is powerlessness a crime? |
| Kotori annoys me. A lot. A LOT. But I do like Shido and his best friend. XDDD Touka seems like a nice person, and Origami seems pretty nice as well. I like Kyouhei or whatever his name was as well. And Reine or whatever. Basically, all the characters except Kotori. |
| Setup seems great and to the point as expected. Awesome first episode. |
| Didn't like the subs and the quality... But it's the pre-air, so alright... But the anime itself is EPIC! |
 |
| lol, what did i just watch xD lookin forward to the rest of this one |
| I have only read the few manga chapters they made so I basically knew what to expect at the beggining. I would like to say that if you are confused, give it one more episode and it should make more sense xD |

| Imo great opening episode, I'm really looking forward to this one, if they can keep it up like this, it will be great. |
 |
| it came out I didn't quite understand but I got it while watching it This seems promising |
 |
| Well talk about a personality flop from the imouto at home vs at work i you could call it that i'd be like umm i don't know you bye! |
| 5/5 Loved it!, Kotori extreme dere and tsun mode, I hope the anime isn't too rush. |
