| I like it, i will be watching it hopefully it will be good and I say that with a grain of salt 4/5 |
| dat Ginyu Force reference. That was the best part of the ep... which doesn't bode well for the series when the best part it just a reference. |
| love the DBZ reference. Thins is going to be a good adaptation. The only thing to make it perfect would be Kumagawa. |
| That was..... Ok. I'm not a fan of characters who think they're better than everyone else. Especially an MC. So i don't really like Medaka at all. If she doesn't cool it with the superiority thing, I'll probably drop this. I did however, like the blonde guy and the little blue haired girl. She was hilarious. |
| Hmm was hoping for Gainax to do something more badass but I guess I'll continue watching Medaka Boobs. |

So i don't really like Medaka at all. If she doesn't cool it with the superiority thing, I'll probably drop this. if it can help you see it a different way: medaka doesn't think she is better than others (which should imply selfdishonesty or an illusory superiority complex), she Is better than others (others characters in the same show) the faster you can accept that(it's only a story) and the most you'll be able to enjoy about the show, this anime is going to have an high droprate anyway if it'll follow the manga steps |

| It was an okay first episode I guess. Medaka has a nice pair |
 |
| I don't care about the ecchi. I already expected it. But the animation kind of bothers me. :@ |
| Was a fun watch, looking forward to more. |
[center] |
| Nice so far, have to see more though. |
 |
| The opening so far is my only complaint. I also would have been okay with more fanservice, this seems to be nothing compared to last season's highschool dxd. |
| Sux drawing and animation. Not gonna watch this. I hate AB types. Selfish bastards xD |

 |
| What I remember after watching the episode : boobs, crappy animation, an unlikable lead female character and a decent lead male character. And clichés, loads of clichés everywhere. Really not sure I"ll watch the second ep. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| Bear in mind that this is Gainax's b-team. Kind of like how Sunrise's c-team did Tiger & Bunny. It's not going to be stunningly well animated all the time. And while I haven't read the manga, it evidently gets very, very different as it goes on. |
|
| Meh, somewhat catchy OP song and animation. A lot more fan-service than I expected but I can deal with it. I hope this will have a linear storyline rather than the episode-by-episode slice of lifish theme. I'll continue watching this although my impression wasn't something that I hoped it would be originally. |

Apparently first impression is very important.I love reading posts along the lines of: "wasnt what I was expecting, so I am going to post that if something doesn't change, I'm going to drop it." Hey guys, it's the first episode LOL. What is this, amateur hour? Paul said: First time I have seen a guy admit he's a tsundere. I think that was a GAINAX moment.Ah so much fun. Wants more episodes. Lol @ Medaka turning him into a tsundere. I've seen so many people say that Zenkichi claimed that he was a tsundere. WHEN THE BLOODY HELL DID HE CLAIM THAT AS I DID NOT HEAR HIM CALL HIMSELF A TSUNDERE ONCE IN THE ENTIRE EPISODE. He called Medaka's second special skill being a tsundere... the first being preaching to lesser mortals. He didn't call himself a tsundere -_- |

| Eh seems pretty boring, ecchi makes it less boring. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| I didn't find it that boring, and I ignored the ecchi moments. I find Zenkichi (Yes! Male Tsundere) Medaka, and Shiranui to be adorable. Can't wait for the rest of the cast. Whether this is cliche romance, drama, comedy, action or all of them, I will watch. I kinda want some drama mixed in at any rate. Seems like there will be, plus the summary I read (wait fffffff- I got spoiled didn't I?) |
| I didn't think this was that ecchi. Then again, I'm pretty much desensitised to that by now. |
|
| Well i planned on reading the manga a few months ago but then i found out about it getting a anime so i held out it seems like it could be a pretty good series if it goes on for more then 24eps and is it safe to say Sket dance + over the top action = Medaka box? if so im on board. and who told Kamina he could show up without his glasses Lol |
 |
| the story (i won't use the other word in case of confusion in this context) for Medaka Box is your typical bait and switch. Think Madoka ep1~3, except it stretches to possibly the first 13 episodes. Now I'm not saying that the change will be the same to madoka, but people will be very surprised when it comes to that part of the story. Let's just say that Nisio Isin got bored with writing Sket Dance very quickly. |

He called Medaka's second special skill being a tsundere... the first being preaching to lesser mortals. He didn't call himself a tsundere -_- He bluntly stated it right near the end, when Medaka hugged him. He says, "Kurokami Medaka is advancing on me and I'm... Tsundere!" So yeah, he is a self-claimed tsundere. It kind of bugged me how much that lead delinquent looked like Kamina, although I suppose it makes sense because Gainax did Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann as well. |
| Well, this works out better than what i expected. Art is very smiliar to manga, animation is ok. It's a tad too colorful with mostly light colors everywhar, but it will make a nic contrast when darker themes start going on. Should look good. Not really sure how they plan to stuff almost 100 chapters in 45(?) episodes, but we'll see. I was very dissapointed when i heard Toyosaki Aki of all seiyuu out there will be voicing Medaka, feared retard-Yui-like voice coming, but damn. She just outdid herself and actually sounds pretty good, must be her only role where she's not only bearable, but even sounds good. Well, Medaka's voice is fitting, so is, more or less Zenkichi's but most of all Shiranui's. Looking forward to Kayano Ai voicing Kikaijima. |

| Been wondering when they would make an anime for the manga. ^_^ All in all it was enjoyable... looking forward to the next one! |

Is that what SubDesu translated it as cause there's one hell of a mistranslation. WhyNot had the correctly translated line, especially so seeing as the bloody manga scanlators had the same correct line. |
| Tonight... we are young... so let's set the world on fire, we can burn brighter, than the sun... |
| Is SubDESU translating this correctly? I just saw their subs and I heard many characters saying fuck this and fuck that. Fuck was said at least4-5 times. Bitch was also said about 3-4 times as well. Is this anime R-18? Or is this mistranslated? Anyways the episode was pretty good. I don't read manga but from what I can tell about the developers this adaption of Medaka Box should be in very good hands...I hope. |

With power levels beyond those displayed in Katanagatari. People should give it more time; at this pace it shouldn't take that long before the genre shift kicks in; as for those who dislike the characters i believe it was already mentioned, but there will plenty more characters to be introduced, Medaka is not the only character in the show. |
 |
| Man, this is boring. Granted I don't read the manga. It's not bad, it's just too bland. |
Elite60 said: lol, the blue haired guy sounded exactly like Oga, Tatsumi from Beezlebub (probably the same VA).. to me he looks and sounds exaclty like a teen kamina from tengen toppa gurren laggann. well i dont know about you guys, but i enjoyed this. |
     |
| Favorite of the season! So awesome :) |
  |
| Was really looking forward to watching this and gotta say, I'm not disappointed. I mean I wasn't really blown away or anything, but I didn't expect to be in the first episode. It did get a little boring here and there, but the medonkadonks kept me into it. Still way to early to tell how the series is going to be, but no major complaints from me so far. I'm not really sure what anyone else expected besides just fleshing out the characters a bit in the first episode. |
JerichoxBarrons said: Favorite of the season! So awesome :) Agreed, this definitely looks like it'll turn out really awesome. :D |
| Blue haired guy seemed like Kamina, same voice I think too... yeah good episode, but I am probably going to be bored with the next few episodes... until the great change in the manga |

| depend on how you like it, but the most consistent thing about medaka box is how each chapter outdone the previous one in term of the insanity level. |

| Boy Tsundre FTW |
| Haven't read the manga, but are the characters always going to be this boring? There wasn't a single one that caught my interest. And next episode they got to find a lost dog? Yeah... two episodes to go before this show fails the 3 episode test miserably. |
| Lot of people are gonna drop this before the arcs hit, shame. |
fuck everything and rumble |
| Damn..that Moji is seriously like Kamina without glasses.. Next week preview I can see Shiranui more like Ryushii from denpa onna to seishun otoko. LOL..overall, not an amazing start but still watchable. If i don't look at MAL I will never expect VA for Medaka is Toyosaki Aki. Different voice acting from before. Keeps the good work up Aki. Hoping that i will not dropping the anime too soon |
| Considering how the Enforcers were shown in the OP and in the first scene during her speech, I doubt Gainax plans on taking very long to get to them and the Flask Plan. |
| "My tables-meet it is I set it down That one may smile, and smile, and be a villain." |
| Awesome episode, been waiting for this season since it was first announced can't wait till they hit the main arcs later one. But regardless they adapted the manga nearly perfectly from what i am seeing which is very kind to people who read the manga beforehand. |
 |
Glorious. This girl's not afraid to show some skin at all (: |
