| The episode feels somehow rushed, yet not. I didn't the first part that much --the collapsed girl and clinic part. An overused scene. The second part rocks though. Character introduction was unlike any other anime--without much of a background, and in the first episode, not your typical "Deus ex machina" for advancing plots. I thought this will be a new hype, but my first impression based on this episode is 6.5/10. The PV was awesome though. Oh, and I am predicting a brother fight.. |

| It is awesome how those magicians just use their magic and then got owned by themselves as if it was me who know nothing about the rule of their magic. On the other hand, we got an Evasive Magic User who for some reason didn't use his magic in the fight even though he should already knew that it was fine for him to use his magic. Such a mystery show!!! I can't wait to learn about this. |

| Interesting I must say and because Nano is singing the ED I'll pu 9/10 and w8 and see more. I do feel very proud of myself because I recognized Nano's voice from the very start when I heard the song. |
| A Story will always come to it's end. The thing is, will you move on after it's over? |
The_Bif said: I've been trying to avoid having to repeat something here that has already been said by someone else, but it seems no one is paying any attention. The bamboo sword thing, the physics of it are actually fairly simple to understand. The bamboo swords are made of strips of "hardened" bamboo, which is bamboo treated for extra durability, held together with bands and caps. This gives the swords a great amount of both durability and flexibility. The flexibility, itself, adds to the durability even more by allowing the sword to bend instead of break under most circumstances. And if you noticed, when hit with a direct slash the bamboo was cut and a piece of it flew off. The Japanese have been making these bamboo swords for many centuries, they've got it down to a fine art. I can also say from experience, those things hurt when they hit you. lol Thanks for your post, I didn't notice someone already pointed that out. Which reminds me, the fight scenes for this episode were fantastic. 9/10 can't wait for the next episode. |
| This is one anime that i've been anticipating and it didnt let me down. Animation wise it did well. OP ED were awesome, huray for Yuuka and nano! |
| Takeshi seems pretty alpha. (But I guess "tragedy mills produce iron hearts." I just hope he doesn't devolve into another Touma (kicking ass half the time, being femdom's punching bag for lulz in the olther half). |

The sword fights were really fun to watch, and give me hope for action to come in this series. |
| Odds are I'm not going to find my way back to a thread after my first post, it happens on occasion but not often. So, if I say something that offends you and you feel the need to force your opinion on me because obviously everyone should have your opinion or none at all, feel free to post it in the thread that I'll probably never see again. However, if you are interested in intelligent discourse, feel free to message me. |
| Good first episode. I was confuse as well about the magic. The good thing is she doesn't need plastic surgery for her Oppai. |
| I quite like this series with the plot story being quite mysterious!!! Seems like the main character has had a difficult past with his life and he's about to experience something even worse as shown what he said at the ending. Not much has been said yet apart from this Mui girl who seems be targeted for some reason. The fight scenes were pretty good for a first episode. However I don't understand the magic concept? If you use magic against another magician, you will lose all your magical powers? So doesn't that mean that magic is completely useless against that kind of person but it seems like the 'humans' in the living world are able to use magic without the risk of losing it? Hope the next episode clears some of my unanswered questions 4/5 |

| That was quite interesting, definitely will check out the next episode. I really love the ED. |
| Signature |
| The episode was good but I think I have to get used to the characters :o |
| Hehe her boobs got bigger. Lelouch vs Light was also amusing. |
 |
| looks very interesting, definitely going to follow this series "transformation" magic LOL and yay Touyama, Nao is here again ^O^ |
| Cute is justice. |
| interesting concept, enjoyable op and ed, not bad of a show! |
| Yea.....no. Not gonna bother with this one, might pick up when it finishes airing if I hear good things from it but right now this anime looks like it'll just make me facepalm. Things like the MC not worried about why the girl had a gun, a bamboo sword beating a sharp metal sword, and random moment where the blond chicks' breast start growing is just too much shenanigans for me to handle. |
 |
| The OST in the intro with the siblings' confrontation plus during the fight scenes and hearing the great cast of voices for the villains drew me in. However, elements like bamboo sword withstands for quite a long time against sharp blade and boobs getting bigger somewhat loss my interest or the long pauses in fight scenes to give way for explanation which I think, could be executed in better way. Anyway, ED was definitely great, nano and the splash of images. |
| Not bad! I'll probably keep watching this one |
| 03:25 Moonlight? His stepbro? 04:38 Chansu da zo, shounen! 09:31 is that really a bamboo sword? 14:20 in other words, you're gonna become a tenkousei 18:01 ohh yehhh 19:08 LOOOL umad, Kuraudo? 5/10. Bad animation with poor plot. |
| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga. Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month. Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel. The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck. |
| A very random start and wow, I see someone apologizing already in the first episode. |
 |
| this looks good, I like Mui do swords like that dude had in this episode not cut through bamboo? |
| Yoshitake turned into a magician!!! do swords like that dude had in this episode not cut through bamboo? It's a very inefficient way of cutting. Do you see axes with blades as long as that? No, you see ones where the sharp edge is not too big. Axes that are 'weapons' in use aren't as effective as shorter edged axes dedicated to cut lumber. So what more of a sword/blade with a longer sharp edge than weapon axes? In the case of their fight, the force is spread all across the blade, yet the blade only has contact with a small portion of itself since the bamboo is not that wide. A lot of energy is wasted just to 'push' and only a small amount of energy becomes used for trying to 'cut' it. |
 |
| Nothing in this show made sense to me. |
| How does gaining transformation magic immediately increase your breast size? Oh right, anime. |
TravSavage said: How does gaining transformation magic immediately increase your breast size? Oh right, anime. lol, going by this anime logic, it would be her power going out of control like that fire guy and it transforms her oppai size instead of normal transformation like turning into a cat... but I see no one really cares about things like this... so yeah |
| boob enlargement, such magic LOL |
 "Only one with the courage to shoulder the burden of their own fate can be called a hero.." |
| Heh, that was a good 1st episode. That alternate world gave a nice twist if any. Alright, I'll be watching this to the end. Sent with Mal Updater |
    Want some free EN TL light novels? Take a look at my loot...→Missing out on an Anime OP/ED? Check the complete collection here...→ |
| Dat boob enlargement. Amazing. Nothing special tbh but I'll probably watch till the end anyway. |
| Chihaya X Taichi in a "Ryuuki" like settings? Sure, why not~ |
 -ERROR 404- -Cannot find Plot Server- |
| Quite good, so will Kurumi's oppai continue to grow? :D What kind of bamboo is that Shinai made of O.o? |
DannyREN said: Haha same questions I considered asking xD.Quite good, so will Kurumi's oppai continue to grow? :D What kind of bamboo is that Shinai made of O.o? Hmm interesting anime. So far 8/10. |
 |
Raphow said: this is so generic/average/ mediocre it is not funny anymore,... plot and premise wise, justed checked it out cuz of madhouse and dat cast,... This. |
| Another generic series, animation was not bad tho 3/10 for now |

| Why didnt the other guy use KNOW as well? ._. And If he's not allowed to use it then why Takeshi did? ._. |
| Oppai :D Well, seems awesome so far :) I like Mahou-anime. Also, how the hell could that bamboo sword hold up against that steel blade for so long :o |
| Ooh. I like this already :o |
 |
| Had expected something better - not a fan of this "everyone becomes a magician!" scenario. The animation is rather good though. |
miimiixa said: Why didnt the other guy use KNOW as well? ._. And If he's not allowed to use it then why Takeshi did? ._. He was blinded by the lightning thing Mui shot. |
 |
| Holy crap, great first ep! So much better than I expected it to be. Love all the characters already and the idea that they're fresh magicians. Powers look cool and the duel was intense. Love the OP and especially the ED! Probably the best ED I've seen this season so far. Can't wait for more. |
| Where are their noses? |
 |
| Look, I'm an easy going kind of guy. I like a lot of dumb anime. I liked Leviathan, and watch Pretty Cure and Saint Seiya Omega, for crying out loud. But this thing.... That was the worst first episode I've ever seen. Literally everything was bad, and I mean BAD, from the OP music to the absolute piss-poor excuse for exposition. I mean, my God, I've never seen exposition this bad, and characters this retarded in the same series, let alone same episode. I cannot find a single nice thing to say about the first episode of Magical Warfare. It makes 11Eyes look like End Of Evangelion. |
 |
| Definitely an interesting start. I was pretty confused at first, when they were talking about attacking magicians in the Living World, but the end cleared that up... I thought it would've been kind of weird for magicians to be unable to attack each other the entire series. And I guess using evasive magic doesn't count as attacking. I'm really curious how Ida managed to defeat that girl... or at least why she randomly passed out. And Ida really does look just like Gilgamesh. The breast expansion reminded me of Negima, lol. |
