You're a wizard Harr-

not sure why people keep thinking this an harem..

i did enjoy it even though JC staff is keeping this CG train going from the fall season yay(sarcasm),Kagari is interesting to say the least kinda found it funny of the reversal of their roles.

this shows some amount of promise hopefully im not wrong.

The show kept me interested the whole time. So I'll be sticking around for next week's episode. Hope the whole mob/fans idea doesn't become a recurring thing despite Kagari telling them off being quite satisfying.

Honestly, why the F do other people thinks this is a harem?

*facepalm*

First episode is really good. I'm looking forward for more.


I am guessing that, due to the ending, they think it is a setup where the "important guy" will be surrounded by key girls... not just the bodyguard but the five who appeared at the end.

If they were going to use force alone then why bother joining the class?

Likely, they will try to use some sort of romantic pressure on him... something like Techi Muyo but it is actually more directly a harem setup since all we know so far is that the bodyguard is virtually impossible to beat.

It is a bit of a leap since they haven't explained anything, but, it seems likely it will go that way.

Also it is a harem in the other sense of the bodyguard having a "harem" of followers, but I think the real reason is just do to what I explained above.

Reading this thread made me want to punch someone in the face. Anyhow, the OST was decent, and the CGI was above average. 4/5 for the first episode.

Doesn't matter if this is a mahou shoujo or just another shounen harem or ecchi.. I like the MC and the main heroine is busty...

he lets them stupid classmates of him bully and harass him.. its fucking annoying.

another thing is that why does she protect him against all those rabbit thingy and against that falling building but she doesn't protect him against their classmates?? inform her about those who harm him?? bitch they're harassing him in front of you.. zzzzz

hundreds of rabbit robot soldiers attacked in their school and everyone were still ignorant about it.. there were few explosions too!

Lol Prez Obama.
But I somehow hate these kind of fangirls/fanboys thing. They somehow just bring out the rage within me.

5 transfer students right at the 1st ep. Whether they're good or bad... only time will tell.

Interesting first ep. Kinda surprised that this anime isn't a harem-styled anime as I would've have expected it to be one. (See all the hate on ppl thinking that this another harem anime)
Anyway, harem or not, I'm still looking forward to the next ep.
I mainly see the animes... so don't blame me for not knowing about the Manga/LN

Pretty good start, I think JC Staff's animation in here with the action scenes seems promising and fluid, though the art it looks good also.

The 2 MC's, Kagari and Takamiya are good, although Takamiya's character was okay but when the episodes progress through, he might be a promising character to the end. As for his classmates, they are a bunch of a-holes who just want to make him a weak character. I mean, come on, they even create some kind of club for "Princess Kagari" for protection and beating the MC up. That's some BS right there, just because she is the Princess of the school.

Oh well it is a good start, really wanted to known about these witches and reasons why they wanted to kill Takamiya.

That ED reminds me of Joshiraku ED ahaha. And I just noticed they were all on torture devices XD!!!

I've read the manga a few months back but I don't remember getting annoyed with the MC. Self-deprecating wuss is what popped in my head arrrgh reminds me of Accel World >___< Well I don't remember dropping the manga so I guess I did like it.

The rabbits and the building would have killed Takamiya, the classmate not, maybe Kagari wants the male lead to grow a pair?

bitch they're harassing him in front of you..


If anything, Takamiya is Kagari's bitch, not the other way around.

Episode was okay, male protagonist is weak and useless while the female protects him.
Animation quality is good.
Other students' actions seem a bit to exaggerated even if she's the number 1 beauty.
Bit confused on why the guy's the princess that needs to be protected, maybe they explained it and wasn't paying attention...
Have a awful feeling that this show will be one arc followed by another with them beating everyone of those witches one by one, hopefully it doesn't turn into that.

Well hello there, generic useless male MC who needs to be protected by girls #762...
I hope this guy grows some balls soon (seriously, she even called him "my princess" LOL), otherwise I'm abandoning ship. Not saying the show's bad, I'm just sick and tired of pathetic MCs already.
The episode was alright by the genre standards; OST is pretty good :)

I never read the manga so I wouldn't know if he will just be protected by the fire witch, or if the 5 other witches will join in.

The hell man. i am very dissapointed.

honestly i was a big fan of the manga, and i hope that JC can truly make this to a good one. first of all why would u use cg for this kind of genre... mecha? no i dont think so. hope there are much more progression for episode 2 onwards, but i think it is impossible to change the cg.

As for him returning to school after being attacked, it is not illogical, it is just such a mind boggling situation he has yet to wrap his head around it and in the mean time it makes sense he continues his daily routine since he is unharmed (it would only make sense to not go to school if he had bruises or cuts).
I agree completely. It's obviously a romance with Kagari.

She might not be drop dead 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. There is a big difference between overweight and voluptuous.

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 she could be skinny, cute and cool, that's how anime heroines usually are. 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:

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.
