| Oh my, what a boring 1st episode. I was hoping for some action, to show what she's suppose to do as a princess. Somewhat reminds me of the pace of Blood C. I like the art and character designs, though i didn't play the game before. The voicing seems abit incompatible, but maybe i need to get used to it. I don't like the girl character though, still annoying. Hope there's some reverse harem bishounen parody anime. |
 |
| As always I hate this kind of heroine. Love Mahiro and Yuuichi haha, I don't think the jokes are funny though.. I don't expect much from Deen, but I guess I'll give it a try |

It's a good memory practice to learn the characters names and write the names down in your comments. Are you lazy?Namikawa-san's character is so cute!! > Accuses me of leading a useless life. LOL irony. Made especially hilarious in that you target me instead of the one actually bashing her for her posts, and all I did was state a fact that anyone with eyes could easily observe. umad? |

Shadow-Chan said: no offense taken by me - just expressing my opinions...just feel bad for people who get attacked on here for silly reasons - after all aren't we talking about what seems like it will probably be just another mediocre anime (although hard to say after just one episode)?@DraconisMarch I mostly talk here about the one you said that I've been bashing her posts. I usually talk in general and wasn't talking to you directly only that I said yes to you that I was bashing. No hard feelings from my side to you, no worries. @octal9 I totally agree with what you said in this page. I enjoy anime/manga mostly during my free time. I learn a lot and found new things about Japan which sometimes makes me make more research. Also I use anime/manga as a way for my memory practice. I only think there are people wasting too much of their precious time by watching too many shows through the days & weeks. Also no insults or offending so far from my side. I was only stating the obvious so maybe adults will mature and understand more. |

| Hiiro no kakera just reminded me why I disliked Otome games/animes. Not enough substance and interesting characters to my tastes. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| PROTECT ME SUGITA~~~ Other than this episode feeling very rushed, I didn't really have any problems with it. Reverse harems are usually like this. I expected Namikawa to use more of a rough tone for his character, since he seemed like that type, but I was very wrong. He's actually kind of cute. Too bad there was no OP :< @arguers - Stop with the rudeness (especially you Shadow-Chan) and major off-topic discussion. |

| Eh..it was really rushed, and the beginning made me go "WTF IS HAPPENING.." But uh..not gonna judge just yet. The protagonist isn't the MOST annoying. I still say the cake for that goes to Haruka from Uta Pri. She's the most annoying thing I've ever seen in a long time. I'll watch the rest of this but w/e. |
 |
| Not interesting. I won't watch the rest. |
| Alright first episode, I don't watch many harem/reverse harem..so this is kinda new for me. It looks promising so far so I hope it delivers! |
| I love the game so this was quite dissapointing... I don't like character desing and animation isn't to good, but I will probably watch it till the end... |
 |
| what can i say about this........ was ok |
| I was waiting for this anime for a long time, and I liked so much ♥ Disko_Rock said: I thought it was pretty ok. There were some inconsistencies with the animation and scene to scene but backgrounds were nice I mean, come on. And that OP. I can't wait for April 18th to get it. Really the graphics of the scenery is very pretty but the characters' design is more beautiful in the game http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&NR=1&v=eliclPec_RE I liked the op music, the voice of fujita maiko is pretty, I became fan her!! my favorite character is yuuichi ♥, the tamaki and mahiro are funny, the fox litlle is cute!!! And now just missing to appear the shinji and ryou! |
| I'm still kinda meh on this series. The first episode was a bit dull and definitely seemed like a reverse harem. Not just that, there was one character that wasn't even introduced. I will say that the art and style is pretty good so if they execute an interesting storyline, I will continue to watch in April. Does this remind anyone of the manga Black Bird btw...? |
 |
| I never played the game so I can comment the anime only and was a bit normal but not so bad at all, I will definitly continue watching this and I hope it gets better. |

I can't wait for April 18th to get it. Don't troll the thing just cause you don't like reverse harems or the first episode. THIS! Aw, exactly the scenery shots where so beautiful *.*...I would like to live in place like this... I wouldn't mind even clean it xD... Ehm, my first impression is quite good, the heroine is not so annyoing so far (like Haruka from UtaPri for example), Yuuichi is really sweet I love narcoleptic characters :D, not mention his powers... I love Sugita's voice but somehow it doesn't get together with Takuma's look...Well maybe I get used to it :D... Mahiro will be agreat comedy character, and Suguru is quite cool ^^ |
| Oh hey there Hakuouki |
 |
| Studio Deen needs to stop butchering otome games and shoujo stuff. |
 |
| Strangest front flip I've ever seen. lulz. I don't know what to think about this anime... didn't leave a big impact on me and wasn't all too interesting or exciting. Seemed to have the basic cliché plotlines of "PROTECT ZE PRINcESS!", animation and transitions choppy... all the critiques have already beend stated. Why am I even bothering ... haha Yes. Meh. I might give it 2 more episode chances... |
| ..... what the hell??? ..... aww man.. I was sooooooooooo looking forward to this anime and now THAT?! you got to be kidding me!!! .. why was it so damn rushed .. i didn't understand anything and the voices of tamaki and mahiro are both bad! ... oh come on ... do something ok!! I hate it when my hopes are crushed like that! especially when i am looking forward to something -__-* |
| Meh the first ep did nothing for me. It didn't make me feel like watching more so I doubt I'll watch the rest. |
| As expected from DEEN's quality. Although I admit the animation on the scenery was the only thing I liked in this episode. Everything else was terrible but I think it might be better later on. Not that I have much hope from it -.- |
| Nice,I will be sticking with it,although it could use more chibis though,but anyways.. |
 |
| Eh. It's okay. Horrible pacing. Cute guys (they're protectors too! How much more cliche can we get D;). One main girl. The usual shoujo. (Probably adapted from a simulation game -- but that's just a guess) Oh wellz. I'll still watch it because of Gintoki <3 I won't have him for a while so his voice will do for a year :D And that Grandma was a flashback from the okami of Kissuiso :) I don't want to rate it yet, but depending on how it goes the show will get somewhere between a 6 and 7 for me. The one thing I do enjoy though is the inclusion of gods and youkai. It gives the show a nice feel to it. With Natsume Yuujinchou Shi ending (and that I just watched Hotarubi no Mori e), I'd love some more youkai <3 Oh, and if I played simulation games, I'd SO go after the guy with the silver hair. <3 xDD It is kinda funny though at parts, maybe I'll get more into it later on. :D 3/5 - Really bad pacing. But kinda funny and cute. I like the feel of the show too. Oh, and although it's overused, the 'fate' and only one purpose in life plot sounds interesting. And pretty sure the OTP is with Gintoki. |
Monochrome said: PROTECT ME SUGITA~~~ THIS. <3 |
| I think it was a decent first episode. Will definitly continue watching :3 |
| I don't know why everyone is saying they didn't like it. I loved Hakuouki, which DEEN had worked on previously, so I have the feeling I'll like this one too. And the girl isn't annoying to me. She's okay, nothing really special, but she isn't super annoying. I liked this episode :3 And I have the feeling that Yuuichi will be my favorite guy <3 |
| This heroine isnt annoying SO FAR.. I have seen WAYYYY WORSEEEE heroines! x___x The art SUCKS but w/e... still gonna watch.... |
| Didn't expect much from this, so I wasn't disappointed at all it was done by studio deen nuff said, and Sugita has become my only motivation to continue on |
 |
Lulexiaa said: This heroine isnt annoying SO FAR.. I have seen WAYYYY WORSEEEE heroines! x___x The art SUCKS but w/e... still gonna watch.... Yeah the art in the game is way better. Hakuouki was kinda shitty looking too. |
| I saw a lot of Fushigi Yugi vibes here |
| i wouldn't say this is horrible but it was decent and it is true the girl is annoying |
 |
| I actually really enjoyed this episode. I like animes set in this kind of era and the character designs are beautiful. Will keep watching for sure. |
| Pretty lame episode to start with, but I will give it a shot. |
| I think i would watch it for the comedy between the Shugogo-Guys. The Episode itself was pretty boring, but the highlight was Kosuke Okano...that dude had to be hyperactive or something. |
 |
Magito said: I saw a lot of Fushigi Yugi vibes here DEF. I enjoyed this. I thought it was pretty good... a little rushed, but I never lost interest. I look forward to episode 2. messedup said: I think i would watch it for the comedy between the Shugogo-Guys. +1 |
  |
| I think the story has potential... it's just a shame that the art isn't very nice, and the animation is pretty terrible. When that guy did a backflip off the roof? I actually laughed out loud, the animation was so awful. I don't like any of the characters so far, though I find the heroine somewhat more believable than the harem of boys. I'll keep watching for a bit. Hopefully the story will make up for the crappy animation in the end? |
| I thought it was alright for a first episode, though I hope it gets better... P.S: That Osaki fox is just too damn cute!!! |
 I’m just trying to be okay. Some days it’s harder than others. I hide away the most real parts of myself from everyone else. The emotions that I try to escape from. The constant pain I feel. The nightmares that keep me awake at night. It hurts sometimes... knowing that the world is continuing happily all around me while I continue to drown in alcohol and slowly die inside myself. |
| Preview episode's same as episode 1 of today's premiere. Oh well, can't wait for next week. |
|
| eh.....we'll see how'll it go. but not too satisfied for the animation |
 |
Mahiro and Takuma are my favorite. nice ED, nice rewatch. |
| <img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lx1a8gz3tu1qbxqfpo1_500.png" /> |
| This is just bad. I'll give it one more episode max before I make a verdict. Watch this get licensed by FUNi or someone in the next two weeks. Just watch. |
 |
| Nothing too special yet. The chibi guy was quite annoying though. 3/5 Sent with Mal Updater |
