Is dissing the MC supposed to be a running gag or something. He's the most useful one there.

Knowledge is power. The only character I like (besides Rurutiaruru something blah blah)

Ahh, the animation is soooooo beautiful. I really can't wait to see more intense fight scenes in this show. Also, Reina and the Sensei are REALLY pretty. I need more screen time of them :c

The fanservice though ..lol ..
The 2nd half was also hilarious to me.

O God, I can't resist KyoAni fanservice. So fucking colorful and bright. I love it. The action scenes were pretty entertaining.

I come to the conclusion this is the anime version of The Real Ghostbusters. The story is nonsense but the characters and animation make it entertaining.

This episode was kind of ... boring. The action was lame and the fanservice
unimaginative. The first episode was way better.
KyoAni, I'm really disappointed with you!

In most anime, fanservice ends up ruining the content. In this anime, the content isn't even that great to begin with, so the fanservice ends up making this anime better. Can't lie though, the lewdness was great. Also that magenta haired girl is alright.

I thought this was better than the first ep...though I don't like Koito that much. Lol she got attacked by DRONES. I did laugh every time Haruhiko smacked or grabbed Ruru. Tiny flying people exist for these reasons. XD

I thought the 'service' was more tastefully handled here. They could have been really lewd about the second half but they weren't at all. It was quite tame.

Because judjing by the first 2 episodes I don't see any romantic hints by the characters

I already ship HaruxReina. Considering she is a shy character and just decided to suck his finger influences this even more so.

Not sure you watched the episode if that's your critique.

But yeah, fun anime again. Fanservice is so silly and blatant that it doesn't bother me, and in a light hearted anime, it's fine for me. Found myself laughing a good few times and I like all of the characters, even the MC isn't the standard retard harem protagonist.

great episode, enjoyed it to the fullest.
so more focus on the red girl. i'm so glad it wasn't episodic that she'd just join in one episode.
first half was decent.
just when we think our useless mc has become not so useless... he becomes useless again haha. i hope his summoning ability improves.
that finger licking though..

This series is probably going to be pretty enjoyable overall, but the bullying of Haru is kind of ridiculous. Whether it was the multiple tosses out of the window, or the constant belittling of his collection of knowledge, this series feels like it could go into Baka & Test levels of MC abuse. Which sucks as he's probably the most interesting character here. Not many shows put a person with a love of reading and drawing as the protagonist. Particularly not when it's an "action" series of any sort. Hopefully they don't go that route though, as there's a lot here that could turn into some pretty decent character interactions.

However, there was still plenty that was enjoyable about this one. The animation was still top notch, the voice acting was really good (save for how Saori Hayami is sounding a little bland, despite being a really talented VA), and there are some interesting characters in the mix (Haru, as I mentioned already, and Koito in particular).

I was enjoying the scene in the bedroom way too much, I was probably grinning like an idiot. It was crazy, colorful, and hilarious with that hyper music playing in the background. In terms of plot this is nothing special, but the way it is presented (the animation is sometimes simply incredible esp. the special effects) and the amount of pure entertainment so far is really nice.

Very enjoyable episode. Got two well animated fights, expanded the cast, introduced a new interesting power alongside nice jokes and well drawn fan service.
Didn't expect KyoAni to make something that's actually fun at this point. Direction is really good, I hope it stays consistent until the end.

Minase's power/ability is words + sound? Anyway, it's still cool.
Mai's power/ability is still lewd as ever lol.
Izumi is such a lewd girl...sucking finger.
Haruhiko's new power/ability...Phantom Summon...this is one OP ability.

I really don't like Minase and Reina's voices... :/
And even though I think Reina's is definitely the worse of the two, I'm somehow more bothered that Minase's not very good at singing when she's meant to be someone whose power is her voice.

Wow, the joke with Ichijou senselessly hitting that his fairy phantom got old super fast; it's more annoying than anything. Same with him getting thrown out the window during the UFO scene.
And while I don't hate fanservice, it's starting to overstay its welcome especially when it's terribly added for just the hell of it like the random, irrelevant stretching.

Anyways, as much as I like KyoAni, these jokes and terrible excuses for fan-service is probably gonna be the death of me so I'm gonna give this show about 4 episodes max. There's hope it'll be decent but I don't really see it at this point.

Don't know if i have patience for at least 3rd episode. The pace is so slow and it seems like the episodes are 1 hour long. Don't think that there will be some important story. The fanservice seems like they are forcing it to you. The graphics are great, but that's all. Probably will drop.

Another immensely fun episode. Art and animation look as sharp as ever. We finally get to see cute headphones girl too. She has an odd, and kind of long Parable.

This show is consistently funny. I really do love Ruru's shenanigans. Also, glad the MC got a new power, even though it backfired.

This continues to be one of the best shows of the season.

KyoAni is doing a great job with this show. It had the potential to be a generic harem light novel adaption, but I feel like they are doing it right, to the point where its still fun, and enjoyable to watch. I find myself quite enjoying it. Will definitely be continuing to watch it.

Also, Reina is adorable...

No.

The animation isn't awesome. Learn to make the difference between "animation" and pretty colors, fluidity, or special effects. Plus animation isn't everything, without a good composition, nice choreography during fights, and on and on, you won't achieve much.

And what's so beautiful with this waaaay to long fixed shot (9s) anyway?

Sure it's detailed, but what about this one (almost nothing move, and the next one is as bad) with its this background?

Why nobody in the classroom is moving?

Seriously, drop the "WAAAAAW SUCH GREAT ANIMATION BEST LOOKING ANIME TV OF THE YEAR". Almost nothing happened in term of animation in the two fights of this episode.

Trashy anime is trash. It's so sad, especially coming from KyoAni.

"WHY ARE YOU COMPLAINING IT'S NOT DxD AND THERE WAS YURI-BAIT IN HIBIKE EUPHONIUM"
Hibike had yuri-bait indeed, but it really was more subtle, production values and the amount of details were on a higher level btw, it wasn't too intrusive, and even kinda made sense as a whole. Sure DxD has boobs and stuff, but don't lie to yourself, Phantom World's intentions are pretty much the same. It's basically softporn. You can enjoy it obviously, but don't deny it.

"B-but... why are you watching this?"
First, I don't watch it to shit on fans. I love KyoAni, I want to watch every show they made, make, and I'm hyped for their future works. Plus I want to shit on this anime. Finally, let me ask you "is it really your only argument?".

Edit: how did I forgot about this weird perspective.

Ok, I like the animation and the idea BEHIND the plot. It even sounds like this is a future version of our own world, even quoting Kant and Saussure.. HOW DO YOU EVEN COMBINE fantasy and all this?? I find it brilliant.





HOWEVER, besides that and all this fanservice (which is not really my thing but okay) , there's nothing else there... I'm expecting more..

Like this: As David Allio said, "Naked is a human commodity. Nudity is God's art", also daily reminder "Woman's nudity is wiser than the philosopher's teachings." (Max Ernst). In the other hand, "In the Nude, all that is not beautiful is obscene." (Robert Bresson), but "Eureka" (Albert Einstein), fanservice in this show is great and not indecent at all. But what is indecency?

See, I randomly wrote some random quote about nudity in art and stuff that connects with the show at the beginning of my post, no big deal. This anime basically does the same, prove me wrong if you can. :p

Is it really that irrelevant? Doesn't it explain why Mai is in such good shape? She trains her body a lot. From this, we are shown she takes her jobs seriously.

I'm still waiting for some kind of development with the story...I still can't really take this seriously, but I guess I'm not supposed to?

I don't like the sonic sound girl very much tbh.

I love Haruhiko's house though. I want to live in a place where all my walls are bookshelves too XD

Alright episode.

Me, and lots of other anime fans. This kind of details can make a world feel alive, and create a deep sense of immersion. KyoAni did a great job at paying attention to such details in the past, in some of their other works (Hibike Euphonium, K-On, etc). It's pretty obvious that they didn't put efforts like before to (sometimes) try to make the best show they possibly could, and not only visuals wise here. It gives us pretty good hints about their mindset about this Phantom, how much they (don't) care about it, and know that they aren't animating a very good anime. Plus it was obvious from the start that they won't put lots of passion in it, I mean, this isn't KyoAni.

And even without the immersion stuff, this would genuinely be more pleasing to the eye.

I doubt anyone can be this oblivious as to what animation means on a site about animation but this is MAL.

This should kinda show that this show has great animation.

As for the still shots, well, that's just stupid. More shots =/= better animation. It's directors choice and has little to do with animation, they could've had 10 different shots from crazy angles like in Monogatari and that still wouldn't make "animation" any better.

Oh and forgot to mention and this is kind of a general thing but people should stop putting KyoAni on some pedestal for being most pure anime studio. Free pandered to gay boys audience, Hibike pandered to gay girls audience, Amagi had brilliant ass cheeks, FMP had a beach episode and K-On while more innocent compared to others still pandered to moe SoL demographic.

I was surprised to see the robots CGI'd. Didn't expect that from KyoAni. Not that it was a big issue or anything but still.

Overall it was a pretty fun episode. Minase's chant might get a bit annoying though. Mai's however is still very appealing....
