Dropping an anime because of voice acting? Why does someone like you even watch anime with that much dumb bias?

But voice acting from some awesome casts? You would be dropping way too many animes then. Have you seen the list of cast for this anime? I bet you didn't. This is just your dumb bias.............at least have a better reason.

Better than I expected to be honest. A strong male main character? There are so few of those that it's quite enjoyable when they do show up. And I like the world the whole concept of magic as science. I'll watch a couple of more chapters for sure and see how it evolves.

LOL Miyuki and her " Onii-san" s
Pretty decent episode though.
Loved the animation for the magic and fight scenes.

Tatsuya seems like a strong and cool character as well (yay)

Let's see how the next few eps go

Well...that was better than I expected.

That ninja fight scene was really cool - best part of the episode.

Tatsuya is BOSS, but Miyuki is kind of annoying. I wish she would stop clinging to him so much, but I guess there is no change of that happening soon :(

The other characters are OK.

Cool opening...also, Suzaku, is that you?

Well... I liked the art. Not the worst 1st ep I've ever seen but this discrimination between these 2 classes makes for a really boring setup. I do hope it's not going to be the main theme in this show. Also, imoutos should die.

True, but even SAO episode 1 was more entertaining than this.
Then again, SAO's first episode was the only decent one. Hopefully this improves.

I just don't get it how people can get annoyed over Miyuki, voice actor for her are doing a great job.
As for the anime so far it's really good animations and Osts.
All popular voice actors are doing good.
I haven't lose my expectations for this anime yet.
Obviously Western people and Japan would think different.

Fair enough! But I was expecting a better Ep 1 for a LN adaptation which is rated a 8.6 on MAL LN page.As Nidhoeggr pointed out SAO Ep 1 was better than this.

I beg to differ. Hayami Saori and Nakamuri Yuuichi have excellent record so far.But still the leads were quite annoying.

WHat should have been hyped up was things after this enrollment arc, people expecting whatever misconceptions they had seemed to be the only ones disappointed by this intro to school episode.

I hope this isn't a Mahou Sensou. Big info dumps without any explanation. There's 26 episodes though soo lots of room to fill in those gaps. I feel like the show is trying to do too much. It's the first episode though soo......I'll keep watching.

The hand to hand combat was pretty cool.

The animation is good so far, it's a rather bland episode but this is expected considering early chapter is for character introduction (there's gonna be quite a lot of that, bear with it). All in all it's a normal start to a (hopefully) great anime.
Everyone who love the episode gonna love it even more when all the action happened, those who has doubts should bear with it until all the introduction finished and they move on to action chapter, this is coming from someone who read all the LN and manga.

Choo choo, here comes the hate train!
(it's your fault, Mahouka fans)

Before I go on, I'll say that I (for no actual reason) started watching the episode in a very good mood, promising to myself that I'm gonna like it. But...

My God, am I the only one who hasn't read the goddamn novels?!
The fans of this are so annoying, hyping it so much. This caused me to pain myself with the first 20 pages of the 1st novel(which I immediately dropped) and the anime's first episode doesn't really make it any better.
It was plain boring. Lots of characters and every single one of them useless and/or nothing more than stereotypical. OP sounded exactly like SAO OP1 at one point, which is quite understandable. Art is good, better than avarage(this is Madhouse after all), but not the best they could do. Plot? None.

So, someone, please tell me. Is there ANYTHING interesting in the forthcoming episodes, like... actual plot, something worth watchin? Or is it just an overrated school war between teenagers that can make typical magic tricks?

That was a rather calm to start the episode, I expected the first second to be the character in a battle already.

Anyways, hyped to watch this one. Can't wait to see Tatsuya beating the asses of Bloom students.

Eh. The incest vibes and the harem is kind of... also some characters introduced themselves like 4 times... >>

But the action is quite well done, and the magic is interesting.

It was rather confusing, since they didn't explain or introduce the magic and the whole system, so even though the MC seems like he's pretty cool, I have little idea what the abilities he's using and talking about. More establishment on the setting please...

As well, character interaction was rather awkward and typical/cliché. Hopefully that improves.
And the character themselves... well, I didn't expect that much going into it anyways.

A slow start, but the animation is good as expected from Madhouse's first episode. With the participation of Kadokawa and Sony Music, it looks like big money is behind this production. Finally, Madhouse has a big budget to work with and by the clean presentation in ep1, they have put that money into good use.

The LN is already popular so they only need to follow it closely without skimming on contents and LN readers will gladly buy the anime.
