As a LN reader i am a bit disappointed this episode felt rushed and some things where left out the background music was to happy and didn't make sense at all.
And some things felt cheap so to speak, plus some of the jokes where not used.
Also asking as a LN reader here who where those three girls that where talking about the main being a siscon?

I know right? They skipped out on Tonomachi's awesome rankings! And also made him three times more gay.



Rushed anime is rushed. I feel like it'll end up with something similar to Hidan no Aria's adpation if this pace keeps up OTL

The three girls you are referring to are the trio that appears in Vol. 3. Their names are Ai (blonde one), Mai (brunette one), and Mii (black hair with glasses). In the novel, they are referred to as the Ai•Mai•Mii trio and they befriend with

I just have the feel that they want to adapt 4 volume to this. Unless they go with cliffhanger or anime original route.

Pretty good. I LOL'd at Shidou pretending to be infected just to get his brocon sister out of his bed. That appearance of that spirit and the fight that took place was also pretty nice to watch and the girls are cute too. The part where his brocon sister suddenly turned into a tsudere in the ship was funny and I especially liked the ED. This is one show that I'll be following throughout the season.

Pacing wasn't good, and the characters are pretty generic. Overall it seems pretty standard and I doubt it will surprise me much. Though I think i'll stick with it cause the LN seems to be popular.

Campione was a let down with that pacing. Same with Hidan no Aria thought it was slower than Campione.

Was kinda meh for me. The plot and central characters seem pretty cliche for the most part. Hopefully I'll care about them when they get fleshed out some more.

One question for the LN readers: Does the LN explain why they draft in Shido only now but not before? I presume Shido is born with the capacity to do what he is supposed to do (Date A Live I suppose) but why is the timing? Because of Tohka (the emotionless spirit who appears in this episode)? Because he saw all the combat that he is not supposed to see (as he should have gone to evacuation shelter)? Because he is now considered old enough? Or the training software was not ready yet until now?
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Just wondering how many people actually caught that, I couldn't stop laughing.

Kind of feels like a dumbed down version of The World God Only Knows. Simpler jokes, more shallow cliche characters, no real build up in the story, etc. I know that probably isn't a completely fair assessment with only one episode out but as someone who hasn't read the LN this is all go have to go on for this series so far.

I'll probably still watch it because I kind of like the concept but maybe I'll just try to get a hold of the LN for a better look on the story.

Great 1st episode.. Only thing I disliked was the cliche way that he got caught up in the battle and he has to be the 1 to help out now, and the pace of it. at 1st it was going well but the way he quickly found out his sister was involved was kinda sloppy idk thats just me.other then that it was great. I hope it doesnt become another Sekirei or sora no otoshimono type crap. Not even a campione would be good since this has alot of potential and hope it doesnt let it go to waste.

As far as I read (vol 4 chapter 8) It still doesn't clear what Shidou is. Theysay he was bound to included sooner or later.

Got really dragged around this first episode. Probably so they can get to the good interesting stuff, which isn't necessarily bad. Although I was saying "WTF" in my head a lot. Probably will have to rewatch the episode so everything can sink in. Overall, I wasn't expecting to be interested very much in this series but First Ep has convinced me to watch it. Hope things don't drop off after the first episode like many other series I've watched.

Somehow cliche but I'm still interested. I'll keep watching, at least for a while.

The little sister is annoying though, as much as this series' fanbase, but I can try to get used to the former.

I thought it was a comedy (maybe even a parody).

If that's not the case, then I guess I'm as confused as you are.

The artwork on this show was pretty good, and the voice acting was decent. However I honestly was not sure why I was supposed to appreciate any of the characters.

Main character seems to be a bland boring and too friendly for his own good harem protagonist. Yeah, these typically don't amount to anything.

Aside from a twist in which his younger sister turned out to be some commander of some secret organization, I also failed to find any reason to be interested in the female cast. Outside of the interesting VAs chosen for them.

Not sure what to think of it for now. But I guess it's good enough for me to give it two more episodes as least.

Also, I'd like to see more battle scenes, preferably not in preair-quality
I want Rambo in a mecha-suit with a laser-chainsaw gun that fires nuclear warheads, fighting the love-child of Predator, Alien, a group of Bangladeshi terrorists, and Satan. (Actually that would be a pretty sick show) - StopDropAndBowl
