This series starts in a truly anonymous, what we have seen is very similar to many anime seen in the past, the characters are ridiculous, perhaps the only thing that you save are the drawings and the character design. Narrative does not even teased a lot of my attention, a anime to be seen just to increase the list of those in a vision, nothing else.

Because it sells. The western entertainment industry isn't much different there. People like it, so it's a safe zone for knowing something will be able to pay itself off, even if it's not gonna become huge.

Blasphemy. I can understand the first two but Cavalry isn't the same with this like the remaining two.

Was not very good but I think what made it even worse was how silly the mecha suits and stuff looked, maybe it's just me but I felt it could potentially be better if it went with more typical weapon fighting..oh well I'll see where it goes from here

This anime is like infinite stratos but with the main protagonist of DanMachi. Im not really liking the art style they look like kids (or maybe they are kids). I dont think this will be something special but Im gonna continue to follow this.

The art & animation look fantastic!
I'm fine w/ it being generic as long as theres a good voice cast & a tsundere main heroine xD
Did she just grab her crotch!? O_O - ooooooooh that's why lol(that was misleading af lmao)
It was a very entertaining ep imo

Lisha ish shoooo cuuuute omg tsuns always get to me lol, i'm such a sucker for blonde tsuns lol

Well... whatever i already had extremely low expectations for this series. I'll just keep following this series.

The fighting was really boring. The concept I've already seen from previous mangas and animes i have read/watched... the girls are somewhat cute.

Typical harem setting in a fantasy-like world. Somewhat enjoyable for nostalgic purposes i guess. Good enough.

Drag-knight sounds like Dark Knight, if not for Horriblesubs i didnt catch that one.
So, my assumption is this drag-knight related to dragons, like Bahamut, Leviathan, and etc. Those dragon manifest as their device or something.
And what I got from this first episode is that Lux is muhai(undefeated) basically for his excellent evading atk.

Yea evading must be his specialty but I think he has to do this for reasons. He obviously has the black heroes drag knight device(well that's what it seems). I'm guessing that is a divine drag knight just like the princess has. Maybe he only uses his powerful device when needed but other than that has to use a crappy device so evading is all he has lol.

Skimmed first page of this thread and saw so much hate I gave up skimming the rest.

Personally even though it's generic and -at this point- similar to Infinite Stratos (which by the way, I haven't been able to continue after season 1 thus kind of think this might turn out better than IS), I need an anime like this once and awhile...especially since it's different to the other stuff I decided to pick up -and try to stick to- this season.

The only thing that bugged me was his voice....ugh....makes me think he's younger than he probably is and this is probably going to bother me every once and awhile...

I do like trying out the new season of anime, I usually can find gems somewhere in there, but I do have plenty of classics that I can easily fall back on, for my anime fix.

This is one is 50/50 for me. I have not seen Infinite Stratos and from what I am reading, I probably shouldn't, and I don't have much in the way of mecha anime, I tend to avoid those in general.

I don't mind a tsundere female MC, some of my favorite female protagonists have that streak in them. I can deal with harem type anime just fine. I don't even mind a male MC with a girly voice. However, this one worries me somewhat.

They have options for something okay here, I just pray that they don't put that stuff by the wayside just to cater to those who may watch this just for its fan-service stuff.

This one seems to have potential, following storylines of the current princess, the past prince, the Black Hero and his Drag Knight, and even some political intrigue with the reason behind the coup and things like that. It is even possible to do that all with fan-service, I am just afraid they won't and this gets lost in the muddle that is all the various harem anime, whether they are good or not.

I am going to give this one a couple of more episodes, besides I want to see hot Tiamat and Bahamut mecha suit action. I know they were very different in the original mythologies as opposed to how they are portrayed in Final Fantasy and DnD, but those iconic images stick in my head, so it could end up being pretty awesome looking.

Only in this for the backstory and mecha fights. The first episode was surprisingly enjoyable even though they cut loads of content from the LN. After first two volumes the LN becomes generic as hell.

Tropes checklist is so done (ok missing fire pink hair & boob fanservice).
It would be bearable if character or animation did anything...
Bland non emotional characters besides blonde. Animation very limited, even CG mech fights had short movements with little choreography, like Dragonar.

So far from the intro you can tell this is a pretty generic harem show. If anything, I'd say this is a better Infinite Stratos because of the better animation and girl designs,imo. (But that's also speaking too soon since it's not finished)

Overall I'm pleased. I like the artist from this show so that's one of my main reasons for seeing it, and seeing how the animation and fight scenes look promising, it might end up being a pretty nice watch after all. The OP is also pretty good imo.

Hopefully this gets me over the disappointment that was asterisks wars.

I am so sick of these fuckin fan service bullshit story lines. Always the same fuckin beginning, guy unintentionally ends up on top of a naked girl, or sees her underwear, and gets labeled pervert for the entire anime. And then he has to fight her and wins. And then they become friends. And the guys are never smart enough to properly explain they fell through the roof to the 'victim'. And there's always a little sister. And always a childhood friend. It is not fuckin funny anymore after seeing it a thousand times!!! These writers are fuckin retarded if they think they can make a successful anime with the same basic story line over and over! At least with Prison School entering the girl shower room was hilarious as fuck.

Oh sorry, I didn't realize I was watching Rakudai Stratos Testament no Blade Dance, let me go march my silly ass over to Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut's episode discussion at once!

Ah well, shows like this aren't so bad in mild doses. The fights are pretty cool and I'm still interested in the world it's introduced. Lisha isn't full on tsundere either so at least that mold was broken.

Mostly because there's so many of these LN adaptations that have nearly identical first episodes. Guy stumbles into girl taking bath/naked > girl gets angry and tells him to die > girl turns out to be a princess or noble > girl challenges guy to fight to "put him in his place" > guy turns out to be the weakest character in their world but is "the strongest" > they patch things up but she's still tsundere about it.

Now I'm not bothered by it, but even I can tell that I've seen this same formula about a half a dozen times. On some levels it's amusing to compare and contrast how they approach this same situation though.

I'm confused about the setting, so this is a fantasy world with mecha elements? Weird.
The show is as generic as it gets. Pussy overpowered protagonist, sees the first girl naked, main girl is a tsundere, all-girls school... yeah nothing I haven't seen already.

Eechi off the start, that's a good sign 👍

The whole dragon mecha thing is a bit confusing, it's like 3rd century Rome dressing like 21st century Japan anime using 30th century mecha/magic, this show is going to need a lot more eechi to keep my interest

Good, the princess isn't acting like a spoiled bitch, that's kind of refreshing 🥰

So far this show is using a wining formula CCDCT (Cute Characters Doing Cute Things) I approve 👍

And the princess has a classified tramp stamp, this may be entertaining 😏
