I'm getting another cliche magical ecchi girls vibe from this. So I can only assume it will end up as shit, but hey can't tell yet.

Standard my ass. You're clearly being ignorant on what this show is actually offers.


Let's go over what it offered me so far.

-Girl that pulls a shotgun out of her panties
-Guy that is a staple of what it means to be a wuss
-"Oops didn't know you were in the bathroom HELLO SWEET ASS"
-Obligatory "girls come out of nowhere and kiss the MC" bullshit
-Fight with a furry creature
-Some weird flashbacks

Not a lot going for it in the first episode.

Good animation. Sort of let down by the fact that there's magic involved, but whatever.

That's not being "overly nitpicky". It's this thing called "having standards". And I am not going to apologise for having standards simply because a few people on MAL are incapable of handling criticism towards some Asian cartoon they sort of enjoyed.

For someone who used to write great stuff and I used to agree most of the times, you're surprisingly hateful this time.
✓ That's the joke here. MC is the patterned "cool and smart that latter gets deredere" on purpose. Sento gives it away already when she mentions his narcissist personality. Too early to judge on that.
✓ Well, it's based on a harem VN, so, of course. Even though, so far from what I've read there's zero to none romance developing within the "harem".
✓ Yep, Sento is the pattern of a Kuudere, I'd give you that.
✓ Agreed.
✓ This is really subjective. I personally enjoyed the gags, references, pacing and blatant "because it's MAGIC!" explanations. Kinda reminds me of Seto no Hanayome.
✓ The majority of this genre is like this but it isn't an factor that determines overall quality. You can have loads of fun with stupid and random "puff supernatural plot twist inbound"
✓ Uhm, no. This one I strongly disagree. Actually something that made me pick this up is the average age of characters. Being a while since KyoAni did a show with an older cast and I wanted to see how that would play out. Only the male MC is a highschooler, Sento is around her 20s, the elemental girls slightly above that (20~25), the loli isn't really a loli (anime will get to that latter) and all the other staff members are around their 30s (accountant, supervisor, etc).

It's too early to make these assumptions, imo. If you don't enjoy the setting you should've stayed away right from the beginning. On the other hand, if you're interested -and from all of yours reviews that I remember reading, I guess you're- than you should wait a little longer.


Agreed for the most part, although you didn't exacrly have to bash him to make those points. Interested in the "loli that isn't a loli" that you mentioned, though - sexualized children tend to bother me, especially if it's justified by it being an Actually Older person (ex: monogatari's shinobu & hachikuji).

I see junk and I judge it as junk. You aren't going to change my opinion so let's just agree to disagree.
No, you're just being ignorant. I bet you didn't even notice what gender Tirami is. Or, how it was subtly hinted that Moffle's place is better than the rest of attractions.

You are clearly don't understand what this show is actually offers.

It was okay. Nothing fantastic or nothing horrible. Most of KyoAni's work hits off rather slow IMO, but some of them make it worth the wait. I just hope this will be one of them.

I didn't even recognize the voice actor of Isuzu which was Kakuma, Ai. Oh, and the animation was all right. Spotted some flaws, yet it was still good.

The MC looks like he needs some attention. His attitude sometimes annoys me. Isuzu and Latifa's attitude on the other hand, reminds me of certain characters that I like. The poker face of Isuzu gets me good every time. We get an early kiss; unlike some anime that once got my hopes up, but still got me disappointed. Anyway, this should be good since this was one of my awaited series of this season.

✓ Silly supernatural twist
✓ Teenagers cast in the role of young adults because anime is incapable of making characters older than seventeen

Cool show.
I feel like KyoAni just ripped their MC off of the other boring uninspiring MCs they've pumped out in their previous anime. This is going to be like Kyoukai no Kanata, A borefest, but I'm just going to hope it gets better later.

Nice episode! If the show stayed without the magic stuff it would have been better, in my opinion, though I don't really care. And the animation is just awesome! It feels like KyoAni animation gets better each season.

Can't wait for next episode.

Yeah, like other people said, it's pretty generic. The MC is okay, but bland. Both female characters are lame too. Also, it didn't really feel like an introductory episode. For a comedy, it didn't really work with me.

But I'll keep watching.

That was a pretty fun first episode. I agree that it was nothing special, but entertained me thorough. I will watch this, but only because it's airing right now.

And as usual, the KyoAni asses characters are absolutely beautiful. I could stare at them for ages.

Filled with kyoani's usual light humor, nice animation although designs were pretty bland (can't blame kyoani tho since it's an adaptation), but really nice ost when the princess was talking how they were from a magical land. All in all, I'll probably be watching some more episodes before deciding whether to drop or carry on. What truly surprised me though was Kyoani's decision to not make the female characters as moe as usual, bcs I swear when I saw the key visual from a magazine the female mc didn't look kyoani like at all, although the male mc still had that kyoani vibe from his design.

Also, is it just me or do animation directors/character designers of kyoani influence each other's design greatly, particularly Yukiko Horiguchi and Nishiya Futoshi? Somehow I can notice at a glance if an anime is made by kyoani or not just from the chara designs, like there's something distinct that distinguishes their designs from other studios, and it's also pretty apparent on the male mc of this anime. The girls of kyoani reminds me a bit of Horiguchi's moeblob design (except chuu2) and the boys remind me of Nishiya Futoshi's male designs for Hyouka and Free, although those 2 animes especially the former have more details on the hair.

Everyone discussing about Isuzu's naked body. D:
Well, that was hot anyways. :P

SO! First episode!
WOW! It's so weird. o-o

But, I like it. :3 I have a feeling this is gonna be one of those anime where you have to have some sort of creative mind, or whatever.
I don't know, that's just my point of view. o-o

But, the anime itself....
The first episode....there's already a kiss scene between the main protagonist Seiya and the "Mage from Maple Island" Latifa.
And....some sort of mysterious past between them is shown? o-o
Meep, wonder what that is?

AND! Seiya has been bestowed with the magic of reading people's minds. :3 Nice....this is gonna go well. :3
I can already....TELL! :3

Was a fairly boring first episode, but I guess that's what they were trying to convey what the amusement park was like.. Had a few wry smiles during the episode, but no laughing..

The premise seems pretty bland, the main girl and guy are okay so far. I'll watch another 2 episodes, but this will probably be dropped if the next two episodes don't really grab my attention.

His power to read minds at the end I admit makes it more interesting. I don't really care about saving those magical people and him sprucing up the park..

Well... I was really surprised with this... I just saw like two anime of kyoto animation that have like a "muah" moment and take ages for that. But in this, we have already a kiss and good nudity.
So... I don't know. I liked it but I was not amused. Weird I must say. It's early for me to have a secure opinion. Let's see...

I don't care if you dislike the show or not, so let's get that out of the way immediately. And for what it's worth, I don't disagree that it was an underwhelming first episode. But I can't help to wonder what you expected ABP to be, or why you decided to watch it in the first place. It was obvious that a lot of the points you made were going to be in the show from the beginning. Given that, your post just came off as whiny to me.

It wasn't my intention to bash on him... oh, well.
But yea, to be honest, the loli is definitely the most interesting aspect of the books so far.
There's a lot of background story to be told about her, and the first episode -intentionally- left everything on the dark, just gave the slight hint that she and MC met during his childhood.
(and also the mandatory kissu)
I won't say "rest assured, KyoAni will never sexualize their lolis", tho... This "new" KyoAni is surprisingly unpredictable, but even though they are finally coming back to their roots and inserting some pleasuring eye candy, still note that the girls with more flashing outfits aren't that young while Latifah stayed "covered" in most of the scenes -and will likely continue like this-.

I was pleasantly surprised.

No wonder the park is so s***, its managed by a 10 year old girl..... Ahh damn everything was going so well, until that cliche kiss and the loli appeared.... dat kiss tho, spreading magic by kissing? >,> Ahh and dat pointless fanservice of the best grill was so pointless.

Was going to rate the series 9/10 so far, but due to the fanservice and the cliche kiss, its an 8, still IMO great but damn I can already see this going downhill because of those two things, mainly the fanservice. And I feel like this is going to be a harem anime :/ or at the very least have a very pointlessly annoying love triangle.

KyoAni doing doing lewd as... kissing?! Count me in.

More seriously, I find the concept pretty cool. That park seem so depressing and depraved, but it look like it really have a real objective behind it.

Isuzu Sento is crazily hilarious. The way she was presenting thing was so monotone, but it really seemed entertaining for her. She's my favorite so far :3
''It's a love hotel...''
''EHHH?!''
''It's a love hotel...''
''She said it twice!!!''

Kanie seem like a good potential character. There is a lot of character progression possible with that type of character, I hope they make it subtle.

Dat nice butt at the end... I'm sold. Yeah, I'm easy to entertain...
