I only watched the ED because I was curious about Okamoto-san's song. Her voice is really suitable to sing this kind with this ED clip, so calm.

Edit: OP was so cool.

Not bad for the episode. Violence was more than I thought but it was enjoyable. Ah that fire and summoning. Funeral too ;.; I'll keep an eye on this as it could be a rare gem of the season.

OP SONG = ftw. Just saying.

This is going to have a very high body count, not sure if I want to keep this. it's already sad as it is having Akari's sister brutally killed and wiped from existence with a reset button for insult to injury.

Thirteen I believe.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

It seems so.

It's rather different to have them actually kill the person as well as the monster thing, rather than just the monster.

I'm really curious how they're going to run with this one.

Hmmm...wasn't bad. Got Madoka vibes.

Op & ED were good. Esp OP was awesome. Well it's LiSa XD

Didn't really like the character designs.

Liked how Seira and Akari's transformations looked though.

There were some damn dark vibes there.

Esp Fuyuna dying and her existence being wiped from the earth O_O

If it didn't have the cutesy art style maybe it could've been really awesome.

Well for now I'll see what nxt ep brings. It has potential :)

Yeah, it kinda reminded me of Madoka.

The OP and ED are really good.
At first, I just wanted to watch the first episode to laugh at it... But boy, was I surprised... It might be quite good. I'm really anticipating the next episode.

This anime also has scissors. Must be a trend.

I don't understand why they were smiling at the graveyard. They were creepier than the monsters/zombies to me.

The character design is below the average by today's standard. I felt as if I'd been watching 90s anime. The action was cheesy and much of a cliche. The episode was confusing. I don't know where the series is headed.

This show better not pull a Kotoura-san, and start really strong with promise, and completely take a dump.

Because that first episode kicked ass. I expect this will spike in popularity soon.

That was... Interesting. A lot like Madoka, except, it started earlier. Sister dies and world gets reset somehow. This may be pretty good, although the character designs were kinda weird to watch. For me anyway.

Them people stop aging when they hit 14 apparently. Except for the lines on their faces.

Everyone's Loli - The Animation!
Tentaclerape in the first episode, this must surely be a good show.

Jokes aside: pretty enjoyable, creepy and interesting enough.
Is the length still unknown?

This project should be older than Madoka, so neither of them copied the other.

This was actually a pretty good first episode! Honestly I wasn't expecting any of this. This was way more darker than I thought it would be. I mean that was pretty messed up stuff. Akari's friend/sister died and then she was erased completely and the day repeated itself. And there was pretty much blood. The OP is really good and probably one of the best of this season(not that sure but it's really good). Don't know about the ED. It will probably grow on me. I'm really looking foward to this serie! Hope it won't disappoint me.

I was pleasantly surprised, it does have a tone like madoka but I like that show so whatever. I was bout to drop it if they even went into tentacle rape territory in that one scene. I like the artwork to, not the character designs though. Between this and prism that should be enough mahou shoujo I could take for a while.

I honestly did not see many Madoka parallels aside from maybe the general tone. I'll spoiler tag this for people who haven't seen Madoka:



And I can keep going. Comparing this to Madoka based on this episode alone is pretty simplistic and unfair, IMO.

Well, this anime certainly caught me by surprise. She killed her sister and then everyone forgot about her.. that was pretty dark. Awesome first episode, I just hope it can keep this up.

Very Madoka-like IMO.

That girl that (died?) was her cousin right? Kinda odd that it wasn't explained what happened to her, since she was completely forgotten. Maybe Akari will remember later?

I also see a cat named Schrödinger is in this, ha I wanted to name my cat that for lulz.

Fair point. Although we're not exactly sure of the mechanism in this case...

Which reminds me, did Akari killing her cousin erase her from existence and then the same day just repeated without her existing? Is that what happened?

EDIT: I see other people are wondering this too. In any case, that's what I thought happened - it erased her from the timeline.

I can totally understand the Madoka comparisons too, since they're both pretty dark. That may not be a big basis to compare on, but hey, it's going to happen. As long as people don't get upset because it doesnt live up to Madoka when it's pretty obviously trying to do something different than it, I'll be okay.

I know that there are some people who still say that Madoka invented the seinen majokko out there, when its merits are others.
The "black card" could be similar to the witch kiss btw, or like the X-eggs in ShugoChara, you can make some comparisons, but you can't talk of rip-off, that's what I was talking about.

Great series so far with plenty of potential at least.

One little problem though, is every fight going to start with a close up on her face whilst she gets choked by tentacles? I mean, come on -_-.
