| Mmm, delicious butts. Definitely a better episode than I thought it would be. Figured it would be something to drop after 2-3 episodes, but this was enjoyable and high-quality enough that I'll be sure to watch it all. |
 |
| Ill give it 1 more ep. 2/5. |

| Good first episode, fond memories of Strike Witches and Sky Girls going on here. Looks like Doggy bit the dust already, too bad, I thought it was pretty cool. Interested in how the girls will fight with the vividred system. Also loving the idea of the sky power technology. The only unrealistic thing I saw in this is that gramps isn't living large after inventing something that changed the world (being poor and all). Though it seems he was likely isolated for being "insane" after claiming there were aliens. |

| I am here for the squirrel moe . |
| Very nice episode. An intriguing plot, an okay (hot) MC and mecha. What can go wrong with that? A 5/5 for the episode. |
 |
| Pretty good first episode, I like how intense it is already. I also like the technology and the art. 5/5. |
 |
| This is like Evangelion. An enemy that cannot be defeated by the military (Angels/Alone); if they reach a certain place in a facility or destroy it, the world will come to an end; only high school aged kids can even hope to defeat it. Except instead of lots of angst, this show has lots of ass. |
  |
| That was...... Actually pretty cool. |
 Just this once, I'll fulfill whatever your wish is. |
| The final series to be aired on my to watch list of the season. All I can say is: It's awesome to be alive in 2013! banzai! banzai! BANZAI! :D |
| Hasn't this been done hundred times before just with less curvy ass? Dropped. |

| From the amount of panty shots here, I expected nothing less from the director of Strike Witches. Akane poured so much mayonnaise on her meal. I like the taste of mayo but I admit that I felt a little nauseous when she ate it. |
| This show seems very interesting. It makes me think of Strike Witches even though I only watched two episodes. But don't worry I will watch the whole series soon! |

| This first episode was actually really good! Really impressed with the animation and how fluid everything is. The ecchi parts are pretty laughable though. Girls wearing those really short shorts, seriously? LOL. Loved Akane's transformation sequence and how she overcame her fear for heights. Looking forward to more of Vividred Operation. :) |

What you and others don't realize is that your expressions of unsavory fetishes do not occur in a vacuum, they affect others. So as far as I'm concerned, there's nothing "hilarious" about this. |

Funny thing is that video games suffer from the same symptoms....it has a million genres but everyone focuses only on ONE genre (violence) and this is supposedly giving gamers a bad name.....because the implication is that video games are romanticizing brutal violence. "unsavory fetishes".......please explain what that means? Do you think if I like a 14 year old animated FICTIONAL character this will lead me to liking a REAL 14 year old girl that looks nothing like an animated picture? BTW....in your profile you have Nanoha as your avatar....why didn't you put adult Nanoha??.....why did you put loli Nanoha there? You do realize loli Nanoha is another one of these "sexualized minors" you're talking about, right? |
| Awesome! @_____@ Sci-fi magical girls! <3 Looking forward to the next episode. |

For sure, I don't like the fanservice. But my later complaint (the one you actually responded to) was my disapproval of people drooling over Akane's ass.

You do realize loli Nanoha is another one of these "sexualized minors" you're talking about, right? Firstly, I've been changing my profile picture throughout the day since I'm trying to find one from my collection of images that will fit within MAL's limitations and looks good. I tried one of Saga, then Reinforce, then Nanoha, and now Fukki. Second, don't project your own desires onto me. I like Nanoha as a character, not as a sexual object. |
| Salmon is delicious. |
| We're talking about Nanoha here ? The character hyper sexualised in her transformation sequence ? the first movie is a good example. Exaccus, please. Stop being stupid and go troll another topic. Sasami-san got a 16 years old girl being washed by her brother, why don't you go here ? And I mean, like me, Negima is one of your favorite manga. NEGIMA. The manga where nude 14 years old are everywhere. Can't you consider people are also watching Vividred for its plot ? This first episode is more interesting that the two first volumes of Negima :o |

| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change?

I, Myself, saw a lot of the promotional pictures and could already tell it would have loliservice, but some people probably didn't know. Although, we shouldn't forget the high amount of people who watch a harem or ecchi anime on purpose and then expect it to be something else and ends up bitching about it. The same thing could apply here. |

| Please. I'm watching Toaru Kagaku no Railgun now and it has more fanservice than this (or at least the first few episodes had tons of it), and those girls are also 14-15. And I don't hear anybody complaining about that show. On the contrary - all I hear is massive amounts of praise. |
 |
| Animation quality is superb for this show. The show seems to have potential with how it is so far such as the introduction of the Incarnate Engine and Alone aiming for it. Hope it doesn't disappoint considering its only 12 episode long. |
Gash_V-D_Hetchum said: Of course one is free to approach a series any way he wants, but just because he does not like getting information about the show beforehand does not mean it is "uncool" to check those information. My question remains: Why is it so cool to approach a show with zero information about what the show is about ??I actually saw many individuals say they don't like reading the synopsis or even knowing the genres, because its spoilers and they want to be surprised when watching it. |

| I liked this first episode, I'm looking forward to this series. |
| (shrug) I knew something about the show going in (I usually, but not always, try to get an idea before making the effort to watch something) - as soon as I saw the ties to Strike Witches in the descriptions I assumed there would be things about it that would detract for me, but the story seemed interesting enough for me to want to check it out anyway. I, as most people are, am capable of liking a show while disliking certain elements. That's why we rate stuff on a 1 to 5 or 1 to 10 scale, not a binary scale. And the point (to me, at least, but we're all different) of these episode forums is to talk (ideally without insults) about what we liked and didn't like - otherwise, why bother? |

My point was not about how much fanservice I can tolerate existing in a series. My point was not about whether it is morally ok or not to fantasize over minors in anime/manga. These are distinct and different issues for another discussion. My point was: It's about certain people actively embracing a mindset that gives the entire anime/manga community a bad name amongst outsiders. That's it. This isn't rocket science and it's not even debatable since there are in fact many people who are turned off by anime/manga fans who glorify sexualization of minors. I happen to love the anime/manga medium for entertainment. So yes, I do get pissed when other fans are feeding a negative stereotype because it affects my life and social interactions.

I pretty much concur and this is more or less what I assumed when I decided to try out the first episode. I can tolerate fanservice to a degree (I still don't like it at all though) as long as other elements of a series compensate (plot, characters, action, worldbuilding, art, etc). I'll emphasize it again for people who are intentionally being dense: I'm not arguing about the show itself, genres, videogames, or whether it's morally ok or not to drool over minors in anime/manga. Those are different questions. My initial claim concerns people, the fans themselves who are giving our community a bad public image. |
