Pretty good start as expected of KyoAni. Just hope the plot won't go downhill later on. Haven't check the novel yet but can we expect some romance here?
Keep moving forward

Animation as usual of KyoAni is beautiful, I enjoyed the action but the fanservice was way more than I thought it'll be (It felt weird at times as well), hopefully it gets better as we go on.

First episode really looked generic...This episode also reminded me of Charlotte, Kyoukai no Kanata and Railgun (Onee-sama). I would have dropped this show by now but Kyoto Animation is one of my favourite companies so I'll give this show a chance.

There isn't really much. Not enough to consider it part of the genre. Also to anyone who didn't know, the whole limbo scene is anime original, and Kyoani (for better or worse) has been adding fanservice.

I was expecting a lot of cliche (and there is some here and there) but the limbo dance was fun to watch at least

And here I thought they had to because of LN.

I didn't find anything interesting within the first 10 minutes and the fanservice bothered me too much. Drop.

Good episode and I doubt the fanservice is going to be as heavy later, they should focus more on the story... unless KyoAni wants otherwise.

Also, the story actually seems interesting, unlike some LN adaptations.

I personally don't have much of an issue with it but I can see how some people could I guess.

looks pretty good so far. I liked the visuals at the start where the graphics of the world slowly improved. I liked the youkai stuff too. Especially haruhiko's questioning of the morality between humans and youkai. Could lead to some interesting developments down the road. I feel like Reina's introduction was a little rushed, I would have preferred if they spend this episode on world-building. Overall, good first impression though.

All I can say is that Mai girl is surprisingly nimble and that I like.
OP is really catchy. Listened to it a few times already.
The fan service with comedy was a nice touch.

The phantoms designs are kinda, eh. Then again no one is watching this for the phantoms. Aside from Ruru, perhaps?

Above average. Mostly for the music, animation and art design.
Will most likely continue watching for the lighthearted fan service and comedy.

i like it so far the fan service was kinda mild compared to what ive seen but i can understand why it would bother some. the brief fight scene was well animated im not really familiar with kyoani looks like they do mostly slice of life comedies so not sure if an action harem is unprecidented for them. will keep watching for sure.

Kyoani doesn't give a fuck what anyone says. They make what they want as evidenced with this.

This looks like a less pretentious Kyoukai no Kanata. Kyoani does best when they're doing things light and fun.

Kirby has reincarnated to a high school girl.

The fanservice in this show is pretty obvious but,,

This show is really fun!

Can't wait to see wehre they go with this! I really like all of the characters already!

Dat self groping though . . .

Th girl with headphones reminds me of Iwasawa from Angel Beats.

-Such a fangirl.

The concpt for this show is a really intresting and cool one. Nice work KyoAni

Reading all these complaints make me think you're all Puritan prudes or something. Kyoani makes beautiful fanservice whenever they include them (Amagi, Euphonium, even Hyouka). When will people learn to turn off their brains at appropriate times?

ppl just like to hate whats popular

ive seen madhouse, shaft, pa works, kyoani and many studios that used to get all the praise get random hate.

its from these hipsters and new members who dont know anything about anime and just started watched 2 years ago.

notice the hate is coming from ppl with small ass lists and no anime experience.

A huge disappointment for me so far.
The story didn't seem interesting at all
OP and ED was bellow decent
WAY to much fanservice for my taste. (I have always appreciated the fact that KyoAni tends to not have that much fanservice in their anime.)
I will probably still end up watching the entire season even if the next episode fails to make me interested
Maybe I overhyped this anime as I have been expecting and waiting for it for a long time. Hopefully next episode will be better although I don't think it will..

After watching Haruchika and come watch this, boy I feel much better.
Start off good so far in my opinion.
This is somewhat funny too and the art and sound/music is real nice as well.
This will be an enjoyable series this season along with Gate.
OP and ED are meh.

Judging from just this episode, this is the worst KyoAni show Ive watched so far. All it had going for it were the visuals and even those were all over the place in terms of colors (those fucking Lighnovel uniforms). Most Kyoani shows have what I´d call "tasteful" fanservice but in this one its just way to obvious that they want us to look at tits n butts. The magicstuff sounded like it came right out of rikka takanashis mouth, only that in chuuni it was supposed to be funny and here they're dead serious.
The OP is typical kyoani sensory overload both in terms of music and visuals. The ED was alright. Overall... meh... I really wanted to like this show and I usually love what KyoAni produces, I guess Ill give it a couple more episodes to get to me
oh well... whatever happens, happens

Well that was ok I guess. I'm not gonna share my complaints about the fanservice or generic stuff or anything like that since most people in this thread have pretty much mentioned the stuff I wanted to say. But yeah, the animation is damn good. Unfortunately, pretty colors can't make up for an uninteresting story, so hopefully that aspect gets better (not really expecting it to, but whatever).
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

It's really funny actually. When you get a post whining about fanservice this, fanservice that, no one bothers to reply. At most, it's just a requote and them saying, "I agree fanservice sucks XD" but when someone calls them out, then all bets are off.
