But the drawing used for Kagari look so different from the other girls in the same anime that it looks weird. Her face looks dumb. We will have to agree that it is just your personal opinion. And she could be skinny, cute and cool, that's how anime heroines usually are. That is the whole point, Kagari is NOT your usual heroine. That is the reason I facepalm every time someone writes this series is cliche -_- BTW, cute and cool is very hard to find in any given heroine, it is like being hot and cold at the same time. The only one I can think ATM is Ai Hoshimiya from Moretsu Pirates http://imgur.com/F7PS4Mw.jpg And you don't need to be big to be strong, that's a misconception, when you train martial arts always aiming to become faster and stronger, your muscles become more rigid, not bigger. You can have strength without having ostentatious volume, but you can't be really strong without volume (you wont see many south-east asians winning medals in weightlifting at the olympics). That is the point, Kagari is really strong, not your average "oh, so you exercise, you surprised me" kind of strong. Look at Ben Johnson or Michael Phelps and you will realize you need volume even if only training for speed. I agree with the first 2 answers and lol'd reading the third. But considering you just used "olympics" as an argument, no metter how much we discuss about it I won't be able to convice you, so let's just end this discussion here. |

| The ending is very good, not like of the depressants endings, this is quite excited it only remains to wait to know if the story is a romance or a harem .. but I will definitely follow _____________ Achei muito bom o primeiro episódio O encerramento é muito bom, não gosto de encerramentoss depressivos, este é bem animado só resta esperar para saber se a historia é um romance ou um harém .. mas com certeza vou acompanhar |

| I don't know about this anime there where some things i really disliked first of all that fan club i really hate it when they have things like that in anime. Then all the girls surrounding the main girl they where annoying. But what i really hated was the main character he was to passive he didn't speak up at all when those girls where pushing him around he let's himself be beaten up and he he didn't say much about his mistreatment at all. It was like he was a bag of air in that classroom unnoticed to anyone. The main girl on the other hand she was very stoic but that was ok i guess and her magic use was somewhat fun the watch. All those explosions and the use of fire made for some nice effects. Those enemy bunnies looked funny as well and the weren't the brightest bunch around. |
| This has definitely peaked my interest, the op was really good too :3 |
| After watching the episode I can say I likes the background music, it really adds to the atmosphere of the series. I liked how Takamiya literally walked into a crossroad (in his life would be the metaphor) when he found the stuffed bunny in the trash and the building came crashing down on him, at that point his life literally changed (for good?). I liked how Kagari is portrayed as not being the clingy type (unlike Mikasa Ackerman); she is the boss, plain and simple. That ED animation is hilarious, no one has mentioned how when the five witches are at the rack it can be seen how they become taller >_< Looking forward to episode two, hopefully this will be shown in crunchyroll, it needs more exposure. |

The main character also seems like she isn't going to be anything unique, just another silent girl who likes cute things. I also don't understand why in so many anime there has to be a transfer student. Mod Edit: quote error fixed. |

I also don't understand why in so many anime there has to be a transfer student. Beg your pardon, what cute things does Kagari likes? As for the transfer student, in a school setting is the obvious method of introducing new (and unusual) characters into the setting that have no reason to be there from the start. There is a reason Kagari is there from the start of the term and the other witches aren't. If you can think of another strategy for said witches to get near Takamiya I am all ears. |

Sorry, you're right, they didn't show that she liked cute things, I just feel like she probably does. |
| looks fun like i though it would be |

Pudi said: pkKodama said: mangamuscle said: pkKodama said: So... am I the only one who thinks the heroine is the ugliest one? Seriously, all the other classmates are pretty and cute girls while the heroine looks just fat and ugly. Really I don't see the point. She might not be gorgeous like Celia Cumani Aintree from Walkure Romanze http://imgur.com/3rlDpUg but I would not call her overweight nor ugly just because she is not skinny or cute. She is cool (which is the opposite of cute) and no doubt has enough muscle fiber to princess carry Takamiya with ease. She is similar to Sakaki from Azumanga_Daioh http://i.imgur.com/ZsPb9Zx.jpg Well I'll call this just my opinion but the classmates look better than Celia(though she is indeed pretty). But the drawing used for Kagari look so different from the other girls in the same anime that it looks weird. Her face looks dumb.

And you don't need to be big to be strong, that's a misconception, when you train martial arts always aiming to become faster and stronger, your muscles become more rigid, not bigger. For instance I call these girls cute and cool: http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2010/354/8/d/tsukuyo___hyakka_by_zakilliet-d2vp7ce.jpg http://media.animevice.com/uploads/3/36472/632995-erzarender.png http://24.media.tumblr.com/5d32dfa0702e15a6438b8c7cff944470/tumblr_mi8mehNv771rbyttso1_500.gif http://static4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120710112832/hunterxhunter/images/1/11/Genei_machi.jpg And they don't have 1 meter boobs lol Your taste in anime girls just sucks. huh ok... coming from someone who has "High School DxD" as favorite anime and this..."whentai.com/requests/?from=1087"(-.-" some people just have no shame). It becomes pretty obvious what you use anime for... |

| That pace. Lame Mc, awkward female MC. Nothing special I guess, but gonna watch it. |

| Super art for a generic rom com. Ridiculous boobs! |
BakaGekai said: Super art for a generic rom com. Ridiculous boobs! What part of it is generic? If you take into account her amazonian proportions her boobs are not ridiculous, as a physician you should now better >_< |
| That was better than I expected. Great first impression. I will watch the rest and hope it's good till the end. I might start to read the manga. JC Staff is doing a nice job lately. Their latest adaptations had flaws but overall are still good. Maybe this one will be good too. |
 |
| Not sure if hilarious, or just hilariously bad. That being said, I've got a tough time watching anime with women that have slabs of ham strapped across their chest. We'll see how this goes. Contributing to the discussion above, if there exists an actual woman with that sort of a pair, I feel truly sorry for her. |

| Awesome episode.Can't wait for next episode. |
 |
| Well... The OP felt like they had a challenge to introduce as many characters as possible. Those... rabbits. Quite a few of them. And the ED? Not... quite sure... Were they trying to show as many torture forms as possible? And i could swear I heard 'teletubbie' there. No idea why. Summary : No way close to what i expected as an ED. |
'Everything is impossible until proven possible.' - Me |
| you dont like something because you've seen something similar before? i dont get that... i thought it was funny but those 5 witches in the ending are the ones that need protecting! well its got my curiosity. look forward to more. |
| hmmm, average first impression for me :L the art isn't anything special and i didn't laugh once honestly i really don't know how this'll improve either .__. a lot of the dialogue was pretty lame "i get it! all i have to do is trust you and not question ANYTHING!" on the up side, i did enjoy the action scenes. particularly the fire attacks were very cool and i might not have laughed at the jokes, but at least it didn't make me wanna stop watching will continue :) |
| wow, that's nice for the 1st episode. TBH, Kagari's face looks more like of a boy than a girl. Judging by her looks, it's like she's a scary type of girl inside but nice and calm on the outside. What's with that Takamiya's attitude? being bullied like that, a little more and he's close to being a klutz... ohh well, it looks like I'll be looking forward to those two's romance. This anime is quite interesting, all about witches hahaha :D |
R3353 said: shayney said: The subs suck right now because I have never read that line... I'm pretty sure he says that he questions everything.hmmm, average first impression for me :L the art isn't anything special and i didn't laugh once honestly i really don't know how this'll improve either .__. a lot of the dialogue was pretty lame "i get it! all i have to do is trust you and not question ANYTHING!" on the up side, i did enjoy the action scenes. particularly the fire attacks were very cool and i might not have laughed at the jokes, but at least it didn't make me wanna stop watching will continue :) I watch anime without subs and what he says has pretty much the meaning of what shayney said. @iandarrenearl Yeah, those witches are what makes me keep watching. And I miss Soul Eater lol |

R3353 said: Yes dude, and that's why he said AFTER that, when he saw her getting hurt because of his ego, that he would just trust her and stop questioning. Mod Edit: quote tower put into spoiler tag. |

| I'm kinda pissed at the girl's fanclub and hope that the MC grows some balls and stands up to them himself. It does help that he has a nigh-omnipotent Fire Witch backing him up who is quite willing to turn to ashes anyone who hurts her 'princess'(?!?), but I want him to stand up for himself instead of letting his huge-breasted girlfriend solve all his problems for him. |
| I was so bored I watched the second half of the episode at 2x speed just to get through it. |
 |
| Honestly, what does Takamiya have that those witches want? This is interesting, but I wish Kagari shows some emotion or something... |
 |
| That was just great. I literally loved almost everything about it, the action, two main characters, character design, voice actors, comedy, animation, OST, etc. Both of the main characters are just perfect, I'm so excited for this, I hope it sells well later on. Amazing start 5/5 jose21 said: LOL everytime she called him princess. That was hilarious. Mod Edit double post merged. |

| i like how this anime is start, MC is anti social like oregairu and TWGOK, i hope many anime will released anti social MC, |
| Thread cleaned. Derailing comments removed. Cosmetic errors fixed. |
 |
| Can see myself dropping this, first episode was disappointing (imo). Female witch protagonist has next to 0 enthusiasm and none of the characters came across as likeable. Interesting to watch how this plays out over the next few episodes |
