Cirris said: Overall it's an interesting start. though i don't understand how they're going to get to white haired psycho witch in one cour. She's featured prominently as an antagonist in the OP. They may end up skipping a whole lot of material which would be a shame. Nanami and Mizuka are integral story arcs in the Manga. I agree and hope they don't do that. I was really looking forward to this adaptation, having enjoyed very much the manga. Don't want them to rush things up. Anyway, the first episode was good, glad to hear Himeragi again |

| For some reason I felt as in this episode could've been executed better, but I just don't know how they could've. Either way a nice episode. Crash course of introductions are hard. Is it me or do some of the animations seem weird. I also don't like how they introduced Murakami, his personality seems like of confusing. Things will get better as things go on (I hope). I didn't hear Kuroha say anything about there being rain, did Murakami assume that there was going to be rain or what? Oh god I can't wait for the OST! |

| an OP with no lyrics, dont see that very often darn himeragi voice..... could of been better, still pretty cool though |
| Wanna listen to some good OP/ED songs? Head over to my profile! |

And yeah but unfortunately I have a feeling it'll end up worse judging by what the OP shows, but that doesn't mean this episode was nearly as terrible as to incur that amount of 'heavy' critique lolHaha I think don't think you should quote me with that post. I do agree with you though. I hope this won't end up like EL though, even if other people might want it to. |
 |
| Wow great start. I feel she is the same person. I wonder if the surgery/experiment erased her memory? It could also got rid of her mole too. |
| interesting.. likable characters, mysteries & alot of questions were raised.. the way i like it! i'm happy that i held myself from reading the manga.. also loved both the OP & ED.. 5/5 |
| So this one took me by surprise, I thought it was gonna be a lot less dark and with far less action, but the OP sequence and this episode have very much surprised me. I don't really know what to expect now... |
| JUST SHUT UP AND SHOW ME YOUR ARMPITS best line of the season i love the OP i love the first episode of this , it had that nice vibe goign :) cant wait for next week so far i have enjoyed about 3 new animes and hoping these 3 wont dissapoint me ! |
 |
| It was a good start. The pool scene where the girl got her leg stuck in the vent made me want to punch my monitor tho. |
 |
| Strike the Blood vibe... Neko's uniform's sexy... |
| This anime is probably one of the tops this season for me. I can't fully explain why, but it has a sense of mystery, comedy, and a romance vibe, not to mention action-esque. Definitely caught me by surprise. |
| When Kuroha said "Even though you believe in aliens?" I don't recall him saying anything to her about aliens... ARMS YOU SNEAKY DEVILS!! |
| I really enjoyed the first episode, hopefully this can only keep getting better. Interesting plot to say the least. |

 |
| It's not bad but I felt bored from just watching this kind of cliche main guy !! |
| Didn't really expect to be in the minority for disliking the OP, oh well.. Show felt more or less decent for me |
 |
| Another promising anime to watch this season. It has a hint of everything - mystery, action, school life, comedy, romance, magic, drama!! I have to rewatch the OP coz everyone is talking about it and I fast-forwarded it. |

| Ahhhh! That was interesting! ^^ OMG FASTFORWARD TIME , I wanna watch moooorrreeeee. The OP is so AWSOME <3 |

" — Aisaka Taiga and Takasu Ryuuji |
| This anime is the most interesting of the Spring Season (of those I have seen). I have a lot of theories and looking forward to next season. |
 |
| Really enjoyed this, love the OP. I swear, the beginning of the OP has some magic in it. Kuroha is pretty cute too and I like the main mc ryouta too so far. Ending song is decent. Very promising and one of my favourite 5 so far this season. |
| When I read the summary, it seemed kinda meh, but the show blew me away. The story has a little mysterious X-Files vibe, which I really liked. The OP was like a preview of all the awesome stuff that we're going to see. |
| I really like this show so far. I always thought Okamoto Lynn's writing is not the most professional one, can even be mistaken as amateurish but he's definitely has some unique capturing style that makes me get attached to his series and his characters. And there is finally a new show by him, after many long years Elfen Lied first aired. I got a special place reserved for Elfen Lied, and this show has some stuff that were present in Elfen Lied, but overall, it's different, so it's no rehash of old stuff. I read the first 10 chapters of the manga when it was just being first published in 2012, and I'm very pleased so far on how it was adapted. I was waiting for this adaptation for a long time now, and now that it's here, I will definitely have something to look forward to in the next 12 weeks. I kinda wished it will be at least 24 episodes, but even if the anime will get an anime original ending which will probably will happen considering the direction the series takes, I won't condemn this choice as I'm used to. I just hope the ending won't be like Elfen Lied, but more conclusive. I really look forward to watching the next episodes. |

| +OP is stupidly good. gives me shivers every time i watch it. (also reminds me of higurashi?) -OP being full of girls worries me its a harem. +story provides a good sense of mystery. -MC is pretty fucking bland. +good blend of comedy and darker themes. -avalanche scene looked pretty lackluster. |
| Sexual harassment right off the bat, good job, top middle schooler. Episode was okay, I am interested in the mystery. |
| Honobono Log - best slice of life short -------------------------------------------- most kawaii loli overlord ---------------------------- Donquixote Doflamingo AMV - Control |
| Man love that wub wub OP. Mystery seems interesting so far, I just don't get the constant blushing. |
| OP is nice! The humour was great as well, a little more than I thought there would be. What if they weren't moles????? Though I do have three moles in a shape of a triangle myself.... Theory: Kuroneko didn't die but was helped by the aliens that she was about to show him... and then they raised her as well. Moles weren't moles but an alien thingy and that is why they are gone. Kuroha Neko is Kuroneko |
| Yay o/ A very good OP and overall good introduction, "tells him she is a witch, shows her neck and says surgery..." ALIEN! Cannot wait to see more ^^ |
| Have been anticipating this since they first announced the anime. Boy this did not disappoint. The OP was absolutely stunning! I find myself going on and on about the music they use in the first episode of this season's anime, but thus far this OP really took the cake! I like how they adapted this from the manga, but given the material they have available I'm quite disappointed that they aren't moving for a 2 cour. I really hope they stay true to the story, and won't do a goddamned Claymore (butchered it with some BS ending). First episode and already I'm hoping for a second (and maybe a third) season, would it be too much to ask? This spring lineup is a feast for my manga-loving eyes. <3 Bring on next week already! |

| like a lot of you manga readers have already pointed out, i don't get how they can get into the white witch arc in just a short one cour, hopefully nothing important gets cuts off. also, glorious OP. Been awhile since i last seen an OP like this, the art is great too, let's see how it turns out :) |
on 
| Nice ep ...... its interesting ...... |
| I love it! The OP is wicked good! Sets the mood perfectly. From reading the manga, this story has a nearly perfect balance of cute, funny, tense action, mystery, and flat-out creepiness. It is really well written and I can't wait to see how the anime adaptation turns out. |

| "Now that I know I'm going to die, I need to confirm this." What an idiot.. Seems really interesting, definitely going to follow. My favorite OP of the season! |
| I'm not exactly sure what to think about this. I've never seen a dubstep op before though |

| "This girl told me she can predict my death! I want to find out if it's real!" Boulder starts falling down. Suddenly girl is there "Why didn't you listen to me baka". Ugh. |
| This seems to have potential not to sure about the main character tho but the girl is interesting. I wonder what was wrong with that guy he is supposed to be smart but could not figure out that walking on a mountain road during rain is dangerous? I mean if a city dweller like me who lives in a country without mountains knows that rain can cause mudslides and rocks to fall down on mountain roads then certainly people who live in or near mountains know this as well. You don't need to be a genius for that still the theories this guy was making up where ridiculous. The girl yelling urusei urusei urusei... I wonder where i heard that before... |
AversaApr 7, 2014 7:04 PM
| Wow, LOVED both the OP, and the episode itself. This could be my favourite from what I've seen so far this season. |
| Well i was really hyped for the series since i really enjoyed the manga, but then i saw the opening, oh, the humanity! why does it need to have an anime original ending!? am so sad- so mad. Aversa said: I wonder what was wrong with that guy he is supposed but could not figure out that walking on a mountain road during rain is dangerous? Well he was obviously aware of that, he was just testing if her prediction was correct, did you watch the raws? it was well explained. |
| woah, epic dubstep OP, and also the story seems interesting. |
| An introduction quite simple and quiet. Having read the first chapter of the manga, Lynn had represented the begining of the story with very dark tones, while in the first episode of the anime, the director focused more on making it rather comical, in my opinion. I love the OP-theme, though. |
| ok idk why but the opening creeps me out. |
| God, I hope this isn't a harem First episode was pretty meh, hopefully it gets better |

I though she said the pump just gave out. |
