| Great episode! Those OST are awesome This series looks promising. |
| Re-watched with subs, Ahm, why does my Stella looks like a red-haired Tomori Nao? I wonder what part this anime series will end....?? i hope it's beyond where the current manga is translated :) |

 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| Honestly did not mind this. Which shocked the hell out of me as I had it pegged to be pretty generically awful from the start. Not to say there isn't a whole bag of cliche here but it didn't detract from the experience. Shall see how it goes. Still not expecting much from this genre. On a non episode related note, I didn't think I'd see the day where cancer subs would make a return. 2015 and yellow subs with timing so bad...I don't think I've seen timing that bad. |
Jonesy974 said: Anime itself aside, I watched the HS torrent for this. HOLY FUCKING SHIT...that fucking ugly distracting yellow font color, and the sub timing being slightly delayed the entire time were irking the shit out of me. FUCK! LMAO THIS THOUGH :D Still hoping for fansubs on this series. |
 |
| I swear about 4 hours earlier this show was ranked around #500 when I checked it, and now it's ranked #1000 ? what's with the sudden drastic change lol? |

| This and gakusen toshi would made my Sunday :)) |
| Hmm. In the end of episode Stella hitted her back of head in the ceiling and then Ikki putted bandage in her forehead. That pretty usefull. |
| this anime is Rejected in my watch list and no plans to watch it :P F**K Stella! |
| The current game that i play: Azur Lane :3 |
| Havent read any of the manga for both Gakusen and this, but i feel as though this is better. Felt less forced. Originally into this to check out Ishigami's voice acting, which was quite good. Will stick around and see what goes on next. Battle scene was decent. Song was fine. Nothing to Wow about but good enough to keep an eye on.  Also, nice try at getting out of that mess at the start, too bad it didnt really work :D |
 |
| Pretty generic so far, but it has a bit of charm that's keeping me interested. Definitely liking this more than Asterisk, especially since it's more of a romance instead of a harem. |
| Wow I thought this was supposed to be the not ecchi one. LOL. Suprisingly I liked Asteriks more. |
  |
| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. Mod Note: A number of untagged spoilers have been removed from the first couple of pages. And a reminder that quoting a spoiler is also spoiling! I liked this episode, and the fact that Stella actually was kind of curious about Ikki's body and made a move on him is confirmation that this might not be your typical can't-hold-hands-till-final-episode sex-nerfed show. If you don't want to watch an ecchi romance taking place at a magical school for training knights, then why are you here? |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| Not too bad really, but I bet I'd have like it more if I didn't watch Asterisk directly before. Also, is Ikki pretty much this series' Tatsuya. He's really powerful yet he's a shit rank in the school cos he doesn't fit the syste, just like Tatsuya in Mahouka. In any case, at this point it's actually refreshing that this doesn't seem like it's going to devolve into a harem. Not too sure about the OP just yet, but I kinda like it I suppose. The singer's voice is different, at the very least. |
| uhh that was okay-ish I guess? idk |
  |
| Oh, 2 things I forgot to mention in my original post. 1. Watched both this and Asterisk. IMO, from a production value standpoint, Asterisk is the winner. Rakudai isn't bad by any means, they actually did a good job with the first episode, it's just that you can see Asterisk has a slightly bigger budget. Come BD time, it wont really make a difference. 2. Was actually surprised that Stella had such big tits. Usually in these types of shows where the MC pisses off the first girl and then the other girls show up...the first girl is usually pettanko to like B-cup and is insecure about her small size. Then one of the other girls shows up later with massive tits and always taunts the main girl. Literally if you think back on like every Magic-School-Sword-Battle-Harem show that aired over the past year or 2, legit every one follows the flat chested main girl formula. So kudos to Rakudai for breaking the mold. Hell, even Asterisk followed the mold. |
| Food for thought for those who consider Stella a "generic tsundere": In episode 1, she... o ...acknowledged Ikki's efforts during the fight and reverted her opinion of him o ...didn't throw a tantrum on losing or denied the outcome, but rationally asked the school chairwoman to elaborate on Ikki. o ...acknowledged her loss sincerely towards Ikki. o ...even though she was royally embarrassed about it, she eventually didn't chicken out of the bet. What I want to point out is that while she does have a temper and is easily embarrassed, she was able to step back, acknowledge her misconceptions, and change to set them right. In my book, this sets her very much apart from the "generic tsundere" already, and you should keep an open mind an reevaluate her just like she did. She's worth it. I've seen dozens of shows of this genre, but to me, Stella is the most _endearing_ character I would list. Not because she's perfect - far from it - but because of how she is struggling with her flaws and feelings, and usually resolves them with a fundamental honesty that is very much _unlike_ the generic tsundere. |
Ophis said: amc9988 said: Blame hulu for that. I just hope I proper fansub group will take this anime. But since lately fansubbing scene is so scarce, and have a VERY late release... I somehow doubt that and we need to deal with Hulu subs Chihiro is supposedly gonna do this. That would be excellent. I honestly wouldn't even care if someone just changed the font color and adjusted the timing by like .4 seconds on the script. The TL itself wasn't bad. But I don't know if I can handle 11 more episodes of delayed mellow yellow. |
| So I checked out the first few chapters of the manga and apparently the other two main characters are completely insufferable. Unless anime does it better it will turn out to be not a pleasant surprise but a major disappointment. This fall really suck... |

Nah. It's not like they'll improve everything on BDs. They'll just fix some derp here and there and uncensor any censored scenes (if there are any). Overall, Asterisk will look better visually but Rakudai will probably be better in animation and style since this is directed by Oonuma Shin. |
| wow .. this is similar as fck to Asterisk. Tho this one is lower budget from the looks. Well.. mediocre both so watchable |
 |
| I always give these magic-school LN adaptations a chance, but this is probably the first time I actually want to watch more of it. Both main characters are likable and have more than just basic character traits, the art/animation is pretty good, and I heard it's not going to be a harem? Cool. And yes, definitely much better than Asterisk. I almost stopped midway through that (already did that with Lance & Masques). That "Played Steal" though... |

Will watch probably both.. even though they are the generic genre combination (magic, school, harem, ecchi) but these are actually watchable. Tho I preferred Asterisk more..they really similar to the core but Asterisk won by my book a bit cuz of better visuals. Will end up giving em same score i think so tho.. |
|
| hmm. I guess the "worst one" refers to the standing of this anime in the current season. And the competition with it's better animated copy&paste brother "Asterisk" and "Lance & Masques" is pretty fierce. I could barly sit through the episode. Dropped with 2/10. Thank god we get Utawarerumono S2 this season... |

| Ahh so it'll be a "can't get ranked, because can't do magic but physically OP" I somewhat predicted that he would win the match. There does not seem to be anything new here but it does look interesting, so i'll be watching. |

| What is it with kinght schools in this anime season? Anyways this looks the best of the bunch till now. Propably because the characters seem more colourfoul. |
Oh, pitiful shadow cloaked in darkness. Thy actions cause men pain and suffering. Thy hollow soul drowns in thy sins. How would you like to see what death is like? -Enma Ai |
| Heh, watching this right after watching Asterisk really does give you deja vu. I facepalmed yet again in that accidental-walk-into-the-room-see-girl-half-naked scene... Even the girl pretty much having the same power. At least the MC is pretty interesting. That action in the ED sequence though. This one probably much better and more interesting than Asterisk already. We'll see... |
 |
| 😃😃😃😃I wasn't expecting a pervert princess.... Interesting to watch for now. Stella typical tsun tsun... I hope to see more of what's in ikki's power 😎 |
| can this be any more generic? well at least it's not that bad and the ED is kinda good |
 |
walldotfm said: I cant wait to try this some day:) Series looks promising after this episode. I liked the ed credits too, sometimes they are hit and miss. |
| ---------My Profile------------ |
| Yeah no. This is exactly like that Asterisk anime. I tried to like this kind of anime but I just can't. This is probably why I couldn't finish Mahouka. |
| ...this is basically the same as "Gakusen Toshi Asterisk" |
| What kind of girl undress herself in front of a clear window? |

| The comedy is nice and dialogues are good. Plus the heroine is a pervert so overall a fun anime to watch this season I guess :D A lot better than that Asterisk one. |
