| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Was an okay episode, nothing stood out but I wasn't really bored either. I liked the way they told the story of Honami and the President when they were kids, and the humor of the last scene at school was quite nice - need more of that. |

| Well,it was ok....but ,dont know y,i feel irritated when i see the coward president face,esspecially when Mathers force him to sign.. |
 |
| I'll have to agree with Cyruz on this one. This show needs more humor. But I like the notes after the ED. I hope that continues. Makes you feel like your studying the magic, just like Itsuki. |

| I was a little confused... it's obvious this episode takes place before the first episode, and probably would be a good first episode for the series. So was the first episode supposed to be a random introduction to the series? Liked the back story on how he got his eye (would like to know what it is, since it really seemed to help in the last episode) and starting to see some relationships between the characters. Being a job service, this has the potential to turn into a monster of the week show, and I really hope it doesn't. The guy putting the notes at the end is awesome, and I'd hate his effort to go towards a crappy show. Still see lots of potential - I like the art and definitely all the occult ... just hope it picks up some, and if it stays monster of the week, turns it more into how Ghost Hunt did it (only with a more conclusive ending) |
| ^ Exactly what I was thinking - it seems a weird decision to air that first episode instead of this one, it would have been a better introduction, maybe they just wanted to put a bit of action into the first episode |
 |
| Hints at potential without ever really going anywhere. Watched more out of curiosity than entertainment. Show still can't make up its own mind, but I'll hang with it a little longer. And I want that thing Addy hitches a ride on all the time. |
  |
| If this was the first episode, it would be so bland. It's like Fullmetal Alchemist - start the character off with good reputation and then tell the story from beginning as we progress to the later episodes up to some point later. The puzzle pieces are connecting. This was an OK episode. It needs more Mikan. |
 |
| No offense to anyone, but I don't see how people can like an anime like this. Shakugan no Shana II is so much better, but at my anime club, our members would probably vote to watch Rental Magica instead. Then again, half our members are girls, but I don't know if that means anything. This anime needs more cats. Lol. That's half the reason I wanted to watch it. :D |
 |
| I agree with ZoiQ, needs more Mikan goodness Ep was alright. Confused me at first because of the last episode but other then that it had some good back story in it. I still see a lot of potential in this, I just hope it picks up soon (getting rather bored with it right now). |

For a moment I was confused because I thought we'd met Addie already but then I realized it happened before episode 1. One thing that stood out to me while watching this is that Icchan's yells and screams are pretty funny to listen to xD |
     |
| yeah confused at first like everyone else. it was ok. I'll see if this series goes anywhere |
| Does anyone else think it was not just a coincidence that they started airing it in October? AirStriker said: I'm watching that and Clannad right now, so that's how I brought it up. ^^;No one's trying to compare this with Shakugan. I don't know where you're getting that from. |

Ohh, I see :) But I can see your point. I would rather watch Shakugan instead of Rental. I would even watch Clannad instead of this too and I don't really like harems heh |
|
| It was pretty good. The back story on his eye was interesting. I just hope we learn more about his father soon. |
 |
| YAWN. And Nekodljf;ldjfwhatever is too stupid too pair up with Icchan. What's a girl gonna do? I hate all the girls in this show. Whiners and showoffs. Mikan excluded, though I think she's getting a bit too much attention. Guess I'll continue it until they explain Icchan's eye. I like his seiyuu too so that's a plus. Lelouch sounding wimpy? Sounds good to me! |
windy said: Lelouch sounding wimpy? Sounds good to me! I could have died laughing right there. <3 Lelouch and his slight insane-ness. Anywho, more interesting episode than the first. I'm curious about Itsuki's eye as well, and I liked the flashback in general. I didn't think it was all too confusing, and the whole thing held my interest well enough. |
     |
| Did anybody notice that his eye was already a different color BEFORE it was possessed or whatever? ... is there a reason for this? Maybe he has some magic after all? :O |
| really, not an exciting episode, but it wasnt really that bad. better than the first imo i am gonna keep watching this out of boredomness... interesting story about his eye, and i dont like that girl with glasses ( i dont remember her name, since its only been two eps, i dont really care =P) she's too...urrr....idunno, whiny? :P |
     |
| This was the 1º ep, they only started with that ep to show more action and 'trying' to addict ppl to the Anime. As for now I think of it as a waste os time... the ep was OK, but the magic lacks consistense, I don't like the main chars. [Ohh and I think that the 'fish' flying around with the water effects it's pretty lame =X]. I'm gonna see the ep 3 tomorrow because I've already downloaded it and give it a chance, then .. I'll probably drop it =X [Till now I think I watched all kinds of anime, recently I'm starting to be more critic about it, well, I guess that's good ^^;;] |
| This series seems to have a lot of potential, it's just getting off to a slow start. Tokyo Majin got off to a slow start and it ended up being one of my favorite shows of the year. |
| It was a good episode, I've seen better, but it wasn't bad... Though, they screamed A LOT in the episode, which got very annoying! |
  |
| Lets just show the same flashback around 5 times in one episode shall we. Meh. It was alright. I may watch more episodes or not, but its still on my dropped list. |

Anyway, meh episode. They better have a good reason for not explaining the eye yet. Also the entire universe is a bit confusing. They need some just school/Astral headquarters eps so we can see what's going on. |
     |
| Following the Chronological order things still are a bit weird... it was an okay episode I guess. |
