Honestly not that much really happened in this episode, and the story is far from being original, but it was enjoyable enough so ill keep watching.


this shows really not about the story, its about the interactions between the characters, I speak japanese and their racist jokes on each other's provinces (tokyo chiba and kanagawa) was FREAKING HILARIOUS!!! and everyone on the japanese blogs says so too. The reason why this show was not well recieved to english speaking audiences is

1.you dont get the jokes unless you live in japan and know about the society there

2. the subs are FREAKING HORRIBLE the guy who wrote subs does not know how to translate offensive jokes

Very sad how poorly recieved this anime is to english speaking audiences, as everyone likes it here in japan............

Like I said I enjoyed the episode and I usually will get the jokes but if the subs really are that bad then maybe that's why I didn't laugh as much, but I'm still enjoying it so far.

Do you prefer a MC that don't do anything? and cry every ep?

You should broaden your thinking and see many more anime, there are better main characters out there beside dick main characters and pussy main characters.

MC is an arrogant ass. But I can't really blame him, considering what he has to put up with. Redhead rushes in without thinking, Sniper Guy is too cocky for his rank and the little girl totally fucked up.

Nevertheless, enjoyable first episode.

I liked everything here EXCEPT the MC. Even the most arrogant MC's only need to say "they're all that's required" a maximum of once per episode. The guy was ridiculous. Everything else was on point and probably the sweetest soundtrack of the season thus far in my personal opinion.

About the Ichi-chan... he isn't the only MC, and I believe that the anime will be showing the POV of the others MC's.
I'm pretty hyped about the characters created by Wataru, let's see if they are worth the delay of Oregairu vol 12...

This episode kind of just annoyed me. The characters were all whiny brats and pretty generic. There was no real tension to the battle at all. They were just beating the Hell out of the invaders things with no effort whatsoever. I was really rooting for the "bad" guys since the teenagers were all such infighting, incompetent dicks. I'll give it one more episode then DROP!

I agree with Kadiro. MCs dont's have to sit at one end of the spectrum or the other. It's possible for a MC to not be an arrogant prick while still not being a whiny baby. They really overdid his arrogance. I got sick of hearing him say "I'm all we need" or whatever. Ugh...annoying.

This is surprisingly good.
The MC may be a prick but make no mistake if someones life is on the line he'll come running(in he's case levitating). I kinda like him to be honest.

I love how Ichiya X Canaria are practically married. With how their interactions went.
The Art of Shipping is no mere game. It can be small skirmishes to huge nation size wars.
Of course some will claim their ship is the BATTLESHIP but they all do. This is why battles occur because of factions fighting each other to justify their favourite ship.
And thus SHIP to SHIP combat occurs almost anytime even now.
Beware, Threading into the Shipping battlefield will be bloody.... What are you waiting for?

Interested in the world,but nothing else for now.
All the characters could be described with one sentence and is making sure of ''Telling, not showing''
Well anyways, this is after all an A-1 BUT it's an original story, which to be fair is their strongest straw.

Lets see how it goes.

That was a pretty solid start. It wasn't the best show that has come out so far, but it was good.

Personally I like that the MC in this one has that kind of attitude. Not the normal guy you'd expect to see as the MC. I'd expect someone like Tenkawa to be the major character with her OP power and extremely big heart. But, I don't mind Suzaku. Especially since despite all the attitude he takes remarkable care of his childhood friend. Just so casual about it.

It has some nice twists on normal setups. You have the battle school, but also this point system that creates open conflict between allies. And you also have the fact that all these kids were basically put in cold sleep and were cut out of the world for a period of time. That they are here now is thanks to the adults who sacrificed and gave up their lives. It lets the kids be the stars, but none of them should forget why they are alive at all to be able to fight.

Hmm well the first episode was definitely a strong one that has a good story, setting and the characters look pretty interesting. The voice acting is also pretty good as well. Been a long time since i seen Aoi Yuki in a lead role.

But man the MC has a huge attitude problem that i hope will get sorted out because he is just not likable at all in this state.

It was a surprise to see such a strong insert song in this episode though

Can't complain about this one since its better than the yaoi and shoujo's currently airing.So CLARIS is doing the ED I'm to assume its Clara and Karen who's singing? I hardly heard any difference though from when it was alice and clara.

The atmosphere and execution was phenomenal but the plot and characterization is pretty generic. OST was great. I like the character design. the art isn't as good as some other series but it is regardless good enough when it matters.

I'll wait for more before officially watching. I feel like it can get a lot better with how the studio did things, but I also feel like the plot is your generic fighting aliens thing.

I disliked the first episode but I there is still hope for the next ones.

The problem with this Episode is that they wasted much time in the beginning with the bath thing and thus they had to introduce the character with 300000 pieces of text that a lot of people skipped. It was too much text for a first episode (the one that should introduce the characters)

Hmm interesting series i musy say. The op was sang by Claris, its been awile seen i have listen to their songs. The OSTs are not bad also.

There is like 3 factions? magicians-sky, swordsman-sea and gunners-land. Their cooperation are so bad lol.


Actually, ClariS is singing the ED, the OP is sung by LiSA (which is much better IMO <3), and we also have a 2nd ED coming up soon by GARNiDELiA which is great :)

I personally thought that the plot was too common and the main characters were too boring: one is selfish (Ichiya)while the other one is a genki girl that pisses me off (Canaria). As for the other that command the squads, i found them a little more despicable with others than they should, even thought Ichiya deserved it. Hime was the best character: thoughtful and badass. As for the fights, i don't think they're anything special, since it was just a massacre that seemed a "firework show" in design. The badass-ness of the main characters in the fight made everything boring, even because the enemies (Unknowns) haven't shown resistance and the abilities shown wasn't that impressing to just destroy all of the brigade of creatures that had once destroyed the world. As for the OST, it was good.The end of the episode didn't let me with curiosity for the next one, but I'll give it another chance, since the development may be better than what was shown in this first episode and A1 pictures usually makes great animes.

This was a weird one. I've definitely seen worse anime, and even more boring first episodes this season, but this one just didn't impress, or fail, me in any way.

In fact, to quote Robin from Young Justice, I'm just kind of whelmed. Oh, except for the music. Taku Iwasaki is looking like he'll be doing another great set of BGM for this one. Not sure if it'll reach the same heights as Noragami and Soul Eater's soundtracks, but definitely sounding really good.

I will say, however, that I'm interested in this world that they've built up, and both Canaria and Hime are adorable enough to justify watching for more of, so I'll be sticking around, but I can't say that I'm not disappointed with this first episode.

Not bad, but not really good either. Just kind of there.

Well, this was bad. The character design is neat and the soundtrack is pretty awesome, but that's it. I think this is the same case as "Sky Wizards Academy", where the only really good thing about the series is the soundtrack.
Everything is so generic that there is nothing appealing from the characters nor the plot. It's a no for me.

That was surprisingly amusing. This season is just full of gems. I actually laughed when the serious looking Hotaru blamed Icchan at the end xD But no take responsibility for you're actions bak--i mean Maihime-san.

I hope the MC grows to become less arrogant but at the same time I think it's still important for people to realize that if he actually is strong and effective they need to show the proper respect. Things are all happy-go-lucky right now because it looks like they win a lot of the time against those Unknowns but sooner or later people are gonna die (well hopefully it doesn't remain all happyish if this is supposed to be a war anime)

Character designs are really nice and I like the animation but.. What a cocky protagonist. I don't know if I can watch this anime all the way through if he keeps going "I'm all we need." I'm just waiting for the episode where he screws up and realizes he's been way too cocky all that time.

Icchan's personality annoys me, so no points there. And the show itself isn't particularly original in any fashion. However, I was entertained by it, and that's what I came here for. If it can keep entertaining me I'll probably keep watching it.
