Is it going to be this way all the time (I haven't read the manga)? If it does, I'm dropping it, the first episode was just stupid, I don't get all the hype. I watched it because it was done by Gainax and Nisio Isin, but I'm very disappointed.

What is "this way" for you? It will change a lot when the flask plan is introduced, that's all I can say.

Just saw it.

Was okay. I thought the adaptation was fine. Comedy and romance and stuff. It will probably have this setting all the way up to Akune and a bit after that.

The soundtrack do seem pretty lame though. OP/ED are definitely a must-skip for me.

The signature bouncy Gainax boob physics was pretty obvious.

(IMO) All in all it wasn't great but it's not bad either. But then again the manga isn't that great either.

I'm guessing the first 12-13 episodes will end with the Discipline committee if that OP was any indication.

I probably won't watch this until a batch come out a few months after since I still have the manga story fresh in my mind. My time can be better spent on other things.

No, no. The story will definitely progress into more action. Continue watching it. Btw Nisio Isin is doing this Manga while writing Monogatari novels non-stop. He is still awesome :D

Yep, told you OP is lame. I hope they go to "his" arc fast. Most amazing character in Medaka Box. 「You know who he is!」 :D :p

I still don't approve of Medaka's voice. I liked the VOMIC's seiyuu better(Megumi Toyoguchi). And I always though her hair was blue.
At least Zenkichi's voice is okay and they kept Shiranui's from the VOMIC.
First episode was okay I guess. The first few chapters that were decent. Until it changed completely. Knowing Gainax, they'd up the ante on the succeeding chapters when it gets serious. Let's see.

Im in love with Shiranui. She so funny. Not really hot on the voice actress for Medaka tho. I was not expecting this to be that great in the first episode. Half naked Medaka was nice and I enjoyed seeing Medaka and Zenkichi as lil kids.

I love Toyosaki Aki. In fact, she's one of my favorites. But I think there's better Seiyuu that is suited for Medaka's voice.

Just watched the subbed episode! ^^

It really is following the manga with a good pace, for the introduction episode. The second half seemed better than the first with the Kendo club incident where Zenkichi showed his true feelings. As someone who read this before the annuncement of an anime, I was very pleased with this.

Though, the vibrations they were trying to put through seemed off and I do hope Gainax won't "jiggle" around too much.

I liked to save "I loved it" but the opening animation seemed to not fit what I was expecting. They could have done something differently with it, but the song is just fine. I loved it. But I think they could have spared a few little things like before Medaka was falling back to earth- because she has her superiority complex- and showed off a second more of Unzen or just for the enforcers overall. They are what will make the first set of episodes the most exciting.

Overall, I think the voices fit, the animation fits to some extent, and the personalities have the charm. Like Shiranui! :] Really good.

Where have I seen this type of show... It's basically Ikkitousen meets Sket Dance. Doesn't look that interesting. If it'll have 13eps, I might stick till the end. Maybe it gets good later... Medaka looked like an annoying slut in this episode. Is she always like that?

Probably because Medaka is voiced by the same person who voiced Yui from K-On who sang the ED for this show and that song.

Meh, people even start to rate the series based on one episode. Apparently first impression is very important.

Well, there ARE moments were first episodes give an overall imperssion of what the show is going to be. Not this one though, I mean, Gainax and Nisioisin? I don't think this'll be predictable.

I just wish they calmed down with the panty, ass and boob shots.

Well, hopefully with this, Ganiax will redeem itself from the shit that was Panty & Stocking.
First episode was fun. We'll see how it progresses.

Despite hearing Yui the whole time and getting sort of annoyed with all the ecchi (I guess it should've been expected), it wasn't bad. Hopefully Medaka will calm her tits (literally) as the show progresses.

Good first episode; stayed true to the manga so far; all tho they focused a bit to much on the ecchi like i was afraid they would; but to all those who didn't like this episode or perhaps didn't read the manga, it will change soon enough; if i'm right they will go by the first "intro" chapters quick enough, i'm guessing a few episodes, then it will take its genre shift and focus more on fights, the ecchi will be toned down then and the story will get better; so i recommend people stick with it.

woo, was kindy iffy on whether i should watch the anime or not.. since i already read the manga, but looks like i dont have to worry. as for me though the ecchi wasn't as bad, just close ups and all, cause she did also change in the manga in front of zenkichi
