To make things worst, they just have to ruin the enjoyment for those that actually like it by making stupid comparison. The sad part is that any newcomers might be turn off by reading all those negative comments from said people that think it is cool to talk crap about series they do not like, well, that is as cool as entering a sports forum and talking shit about it. |
| Blablabla, this is not a harem, this is unique, the hators will shut up soon.. yeah, you guys are naive idiots if you really believe that. Sure, he will probably get together with Stella or whatever that retarded red princesses name is but Ararararagi and Senjougahara and many other couples in LN did the same yet they all have fucking dozens of girls crawling around their MCs, craving for some good dicking. This will be the same, stop hyping people up for your generic bs when you damn well know it's still a pseudo-harem. I completely agree with ANN's assessment of this show, but then again: ANN's reviewers are mostly people with common sense so obviously they are not as enlightened as some precious Ln otaku NEETs who wank themselves over selfinsert power fantasies. |

| This is easily the most original anime I've seen in quite some time. Characterization this strong and unique is quite the feat. And don't even get me started on the setting. This makes even the best examples of world building in any medium look like the works of children. Truly blessed to be alive to see this masterpiece air. |

You forgot to properly highlight how unique it gets later on (after the season is over). I'm a filthy secondary and if I pretend to know what's going to happen later on that makes me a hater and a pretentious twat! I'll just let the show surprise me with every thrilling twist and turn. |

Nidhoeggr said: Blablabla, this is not a harem, this is unique, the hators will shut up soon.. yeah, you guys are naive idiots if you really believe that. I doubt that many anime fans believe that the hators will shut up soon - you're the best proof to the contrary. Never welcome, always there to barf out bile. [Worthless uninformed Nidhoeggr ramblings snipped] I completely agree with ANN's assessment of this show, but then again: ANN's reviewers are mostly people with common sense so obviously they are not as enlightened as some precious Ln otaku NEETs who wank themselves over selfinsert power fantasies. Interesting that you reacted to that - I always suspected you to have some ANN connections. And that you consider the ANN reviewer's "people with common sense" only reinforces this suspicion. Thanks for the laugh though :) So you'll continue your mission to educate the "naive idot otaku NEETs wanking over power fantasies", by assaulting them with your venomous arrogance? I believe that this must be the saddest self-gratificating nonsense I've read in a while. Very much ANN level. *lol* |
| Yeah, I am actually part of a Zionist ANN conspiracy whose primary goal is to badmouth the true repressed heroes of society: Otaku. I am afraid I need call the assassination squad from the Thule society now though, you clearly know too much. |

You're much too egotistical to qualify for any secret society - public blathering is your life.

Maybe if you actually knew a thing or two about the issues you ramble about, you could be a productive member of the anime society. Alas... |

Nidhoeggr said: Yeah, as much as I was wrong about Mahouka and you were right. I have fond memories of these times. The thing is that - just like today - you were rambling about issues without having a faintest clue what you're talking about. THAT is what makes your babbling worthless. Heck, even a broken clock shows the right time twice a day, it sure doesn't mean it's good at giving the time of day. And the fact that a studio manages to mess up a LN conversion - something I conceded - doesn't mean that the show in itself is bad. Nidhoeggr said: F/SN is sexist and both are kinda bad. Yup. Just like to ISIS everything is blasphemous. |
| Are this sort of Asterisk´s twin anime? Good guy and skilled. Check. Strong bishoujo that is seen almost naked. Check.(Vermillion is more annoying, though.) School fighters. Check. Well..... Anyway... I´ll keep watching. Like Asterisk, the fightings are interesting. |
| "Could you not talk with me? I'm busy breathing." |
| MC and setting is very much like Mahouka's. Will keep watching since it's alright so far. |

| Steins;Gate is a pseudo-harem. It's not a flaw by any means, people just get offended when they hear it. |
|
| Ehhhhh, sure why not? I'll stick around for awhile. From the first episode, it's nothing new... yet I found myself more entertained than I usually am by "gifted and un-gifted school students attend a magical battle academy" anime. Proof that execution counts, maybe? Idk anything about this series, but I see a lot of people saying "it's different", so that gives me hope. |
lordzeru said: Steins;Gate is a pseudo-harem. It's not a flaw by any means, people just get offended when they hear it. Well. I have to agree. Shounen + harem = bad is a common idea these days. |
| Hmmmm this was actually a really good first episode Definitely has some potential :) |
| ANN is hating on that anime so many 1 and 2 ratings. :p But lets see guys, we can't say in one episode if this anime is good or bad we can only spectacular for this anime. ^^  See you everyone~ |
| A new season and another light novel adaptation with great potential. Such greatness *sob* Tatsuya would be proud of his long lost little brother Ikki. Hallelujah!!! |

AP24 said: It seems a lot of stores in Japan are significantly promoting this series. It's not surprising that LN and manga have already reached 1 million copies. DanMachi was 1.5 million copies when anime started airing. if i remember correctly rakudai sold 1m copies before it aired |

| What's with these endless bitching about how generic it is in the forums? Anyone who bothered to take a look at the poster and description first should have the idea of what kind of an anime this is if he knows a thing or two about anime in general. |

And unlike Meguca, we have insight into the novels via spoilers and of course the manga adaption.... |

Pretty sure both poster and description/synopsis are as generic as a magical girl story can be in the case of Madoka. I just even went to check and it really is like that. School days's description for example also fails to show what it really is. |
|
| I can't believe people already think this is a harem. I mean, the harem-inducting parts aren't even revealed yet, lol. |
| Kind of reminds me of Absolute Duo, except with a tsundere female lead instead. |
| I didn't expect to actually like this, great fighting scenes! I really like the MC, the female lead is irritating but I can get used to it. It somehow reminds me of Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei |

| So it looks like I'm not the only one that noticed that this show and Asterisk are essentially AU's of each other story. This was enjoyable, but if these two shows continue to feel this similar, its going to be a little weird trying to watch them both at the same time, and may have to drop one of them just for that... |

No, the similarities in this episode were all there will ever be between those two. There won't be anymore such similarities from EP2 on. |

Doomdoctor said: Yeah, I think what he's saying is, you can pretty much tell that this was going to be fairly generic just from the poster and the description, so if you going to be pissed off over the generic-ness, then maybe you shouldn't have watched it to begin with.Ducat_Revel said: So knowing that this is a generic magic school LN anime, one shouldn't say anything negative about it?

| Nice opening.. it's worth to wait whether it has good or bad story line.. just don't have too much hope, it could be disappointing. hehe |

| Its funny how every season this type of show are badmouthed in MAL while a same type they are those with more number of pages in forums.

| Feel like this anime is better than Asterisk. |
| I feel like I've seen this episode before... oh wait! that was another anime, I think it was called Gakusen Toshi Asterisk! -_- Both started with the protagonist (which btw has almost the same voice), getting in a room where a pink haired girl is in her underwear, and then having their apology not accepted by the girl, and ending up fighting her and winning. And both pink haired girls are popular for being very talented in battles of magic, and both are arrogant and easily annoyed by everyone around them. How comes two shows that started in the same season, have the same scenario?! at least change the girls' hair color! |

| This can be a harem, but I read the LN and if you don't like harem you can take a look at the spoiler buttom. I really liked the novel and the manga and if the anime follow the novel it will be a good serie. |

I was only being sarcastic about the silly fact that even the hair color was the same. |
| Well it's entertaining and all, but what kind of school allows guys and girls to room together?? |
 |
| That ending song and animation is pretty cool not gonna lie. Makes the content of this series look alot cooler then it actually is lol Because honestly, the content is only okay, generic stuff and such The animation is nice though, looks pretty high budget. |
 |
| Anime seems pretty good so far, (even though it's the first episode) I really enjoyed watching it. Action was not bad either, I like the concept of knights being able to wield magic in conjunction with their physical weaponry, able to enhance physical abilities, and cast magic, this seems really cool! I also like the comedy aswell, Stella's curiosity of men, haha, made me laugh my ass of when she touched him and how she blushed, and when she was also caught in her underwear by Ikki. This seems very similar to Infinite Stratos, except at how the story is approached, and the use of characters, which seems more mature than the anime stated before. Overall, this anime has a very high potential to become a masterpiece, I'm intrigued to watch more. |
