And I thought I would get a slice of life anime... looks like its magical. Not my cup of tea, but will watch until I see Mimori, the wheelchair girl become a magical girl as well. The reason why I am interested in this show cause of her. ^_^

I already had a clue that this isn't just a normal SoL. I mean the title kind speaks for itself.

I got chills when Yuuna block that shot and the music suddenly kicks in. The music is absolutely epic, which reminded me of Madoka. The aura, the music, and the world does feel like Madoka. I can't help it but reminds me of it. There's just so many similarities. Like they're copying it.

But it doesn't mean its bad. It could be good or bad depending how they carry on the overall story.

This got me interested already.

Oh it's a cute SoL CGDCT ani-- eh? Yeah the description said they deal with Vertex but I didn't think it'd be like this. Pleasantly surprised :D

The music when Yuuna punched through the Nova Vertex's shot was awesome.

Is the twin tails blonde girl gonna die first? Is Shinju some white creepy looking thing that grants wishes to teenage girls?

I honestly thought this was going to be about schoolgirls and normal shit but I guess I was dead wrong. Wow

This isn't a slice of life anime, the genre field is definitely wrong.
I really like this kind of magical girl animes were there are tough enemies and the girls can get hurt if they get distracted, compared to other shows like Precure with crappy enemies, annoying fairy mascot partners and ugly babies puaj

I'm looking forward this show

High-quality animation and art. Usage of CG during Itsuki's and Fuu's fight/flight felt awkward, for the monster was ok.

P.S. Am i the only one who thought something was wrong with MPC when time stopped? i instantly deleted and re-downloaded, just to realise there never was anything wrong with it. lol

Wow, the influence in this show is so obvious. The colors, transformation design, animation...

Saying that, I like the mood and character designs. Quite a bit. The sword too.

But the build-up to the mahou-shoujo and the fact that the girls could fight right off the bat was weird. Overall, it felt lacking in depth, couldn't relate to the characters, and they made up their minds quite quickly... I mean they got put in another world just like that and they accepted it pretty quickly. Also, the explanation for the sudden setting sounds like an excuse. We don't know anything about Shinju-sama except for when the class bowed facing the window, how can we accept such an explanation... eh, whatever.

Any dark mahou-shoujo has potential, but this really wacked us in the face (and no dark foreshadowing yet...). The characters got shoved into this new world suddenly and already are transforming and defeating monsters. No sweat whatsoever.

We'll see how this develops.

I really have mixed feelings about this show. I was looking forward to watching a cute SoL show in contrast to the actiony/angsty shows that are airing. And the first half did not disappoint! It put a smile on my face...they're such sweet girls, and it was like, the ultimate mood-lifter show! But then that whole weird land showed up and I was like: "whaaa...?" But then again, I love mahou shoujos so I liked the second half for that reason. I guess I liked both halves for what they were trying to accomplish, but I hope it stays nice and happy...please don't go dark and sad like Madoka! I loved all of them from the very start and it really cheers you up seeing how they go out of their way to help people! Anyway, time will tell how this anime turns out...

Watched cold without reading a synopsis based on a cute screenshot. Cute girls doing cute things, finding homes for kittens, etc... Charming.

Suddenly parallel universe battles. O_O

Nice surprise.

But it was a bit ruined by the too on the nose Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica music and magical girl costumes.

I was hoping for a down to earth SOL about little everyday heroic things, but this makes sense given the title. Uh, not what I was expecting nor what I wanted, but I don't see any reason to drop it.

As for those comparing it to Madoka already. Y'all need to watch more magical girl series, seriously.( ̄へ ̄ )

Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.

I, along with others, was super surprised. I watched the first 10 minutes thinking, "A SoL show about middle school girls doing community service! This is going to be great!" then the time freeze happened and was like "....wahhh?!?" but in the end it still held my interest but I'm secretly hoping for a future show about the middle school hero club.

Well, I was interested in this anime because of the art.
Probably in the future episodes, we'll get the "Slice of Life". I had a feeling that this is going to be a sad anime, but after that transformation scene, where they laughed like nothing matters, that feeling is gone :(

5/5

Personally I did not give him a penny of euro at the beginning, seeing the promo, but the 1st episode went veeery far beyond my wildest expectations.
Not that it's all pure gold, but I really like it although it seems a product similar to Madoka.
The ugly CG, but the design is nice and the animations are not as poor.
I can not wait to see the next episode.
For now, my vote is 7/10!

A man who has only seen one good show, he would compare that one good show to anything he just saw. Is it due to the lack of his knowledge or his characterise, we simply don't know. But one thing we do know for sure is that he will continue to do so for the sake of that because he can.

The first impression this anime gave me was a slice-of-life comedy with girls doing random and helpful things. And well- It was really an unexpected magical girls' show while using 3DCG for the battle animation instead of being traditional with it.

Since I'm a fan of fantasy and stuff like this, I actually gasped when that light from idk the sky or the ground appeared and said "No waay..." with matching facials :'D

Anywho- I like it, let's say it so. The phone thing was a bit new for me so I guess their lives depend on their cellphones there ww How modern wwww Though the "Yusha Punch" felt a bit awkward (since it's the first time it's used in the show) and the-determined-main-char-finishing-off-the-first boss was a bit cliche, it's still good I guess. Only thing I'm a bit bothered about was the instantaneous fight scene. I appreciate how imouto-chan's reaction came out while she was flying(?) and her side comments like "A weapon came out-- @A@;;" but I think she looks too used to it already ww Yuna too.

Time to watch ep 2 and see where this is going-
And here I'll be hoping that this is not really like MadoMagi's story. Please, I don't wanna feel feels from that light-heart ed start. Especially on wheelchair girl's part.

P.S. I think this is the first Mahou Shoujo anime I watched where the character was attacking while changing form ww Seems like the theory of magical girl transformation doesn't work here :'D

Yeah, the chorus is the same as the used for the Hymmnos in AT.
Keiichi Okabe really did a good job here, with a lot of the BGM similar to some of his works (NIER/Drakengard 3) and some themes that drinks from Kajiura composing style (the transformation theme). The opening is composed by him too.

Hey, another series I had no expectation whatsoever that actually does seem really nice. Surprised by both the animation, which is really nicely done, and the theme. It gives a Madoka vibe which I'm a big fan of, so I'm definitely giving this a shot. Mami best gir... oh wait.

Anyway this anime reminds me of that fictional Exodus anime that's being produced in Shirobako. I certainly didn't expect them to go full action, I thought it was the usual moe anime.

I was expecting a Cute girls doing Cute things type of anime......but I got something WAY unexpected instead!
Something a long the lines of Madoka Magica.......but better!
LOL! This is so much better, and it's barely the first episode! :D

But really now.......what the heck? Stupid MAL fix your genre tags, this looks like a Slice of Life anime, but it also has some Magic, Action, what looks like Fantasy.....
It made me think this was gonna be something else.......

But still, I wasn't disappointed haha. xD

This was so awesome! So looking forward to this anime~! :3

Hopefully it's not Psychological like Madoka Magica....... :(

This is trying way too hard to be Madoka. But the characters are bland the dialogue doesn't flow AT ALL (even ignoring everything else why would you call your friend in the middle of battle), I'm not a fan of the infodump either. I'll give it a few more episodes. Hopefully at least the characters will get more interesting.

This episode made me go 5/5. Totally unexpected. The time stop made me wonder if the video got frozen (lol), and the transition from the real world into the realm of the Divine Tree is fantastic. Excellent animation direction, I say. The BGM sets the atmosphere really well.

I'm gonna be one of THOSE guys and point out the similarities with Puella. Mostly Yuna and that senpai, Madoka and Mami. Especially when they transformed wow their designs are just spitting reincarnations. I'm afraid it will be too hard to not compare the two series while watching. The girl in the wheelchair even resembles Homura in character when she was Moemura.

I usually don't bat an eyelid at CG animation, but it bothered me a bit this time 'round. Probably because they used it in the fights and I just don't like it.

Hey at least the beginning was cute. Time to catch up. Hopefully it will have a further twist to the story.

Woah woah, I didn't sign up for this! Seriously the previews were all about cute girls doing cute things, so getting a sudden Vividred meets Madoka blew my mind, I was like "is this happening???" I'm at least intrigued now, moreso than before. The puppet show is my favorite part though.
