JUNNA! So an abandoned puppy gets picked up by Elias Ainz Ooal Gown and becomes his bitch and future waifu... Lots of color and pretty art. It could use a bit more music though. A slow start, but it looks like we're going to be doing a lot of exploring.This should be fun. |

What an great first episode, got me completely immersed in the world by the first 5 minutes. The world seems interesting and I already like the main characters. Looking foward to it. |

OMG I LOVED IT. The MC was adorable. Her desire for a family and home is so sad, and I hope she finds it. I can't wait to see her develop into a strong character. I adored the mage. He was a cutie (in a weird way) and I loved the way he kept patting her head. The fantasy setting was beautiful, and dayum I wish I was living in that cottage. Also lol as if she was like 'yeah sure I'll come on a walk into a dark forest with some weird ass fairy with glowing red eyes'. I can't wait for the next ep! |

I was actually looking forward to this one all summer because I loved the ova eps, and resisted visiting the manga but this first episode isn't kinda living up to the hype. It wasn't bad...kinda cute here and there where Elias brought her into the bath and at the end where he drops a bomb like nothing on to her "you're going to be my wife". The awkwardness was kind of cute, but it definitely wasn't the direction that I was expecting the anime to go. I'm going to keep watching to see where this goes. |

This was absolutely amazing. The art, animation and music was beautiful. Those ariels were freaky. I'm glad Chise found a home. Looking forward to see more. |

First the fairy scared the crap out me, then it tries to take Chise away, WTF. I'm really loving this already, not much else to say. Can't wait for more. |

Is Elias supposed to be a personification of the "Big Black Man stealing your women" because he looked like he just cucked the humans out of Chise? |
I wish Cowboy Bebop never existed. |

Personally, I can't say I thought this episode was all that great. Haven't read the manga, so I don't know what's to come, but I thought this episode was okay. Honestly, I need to see more development between Elias and Chise first, because right now, their relationship seems contrived. I want something natural and slowly built like Spice and Wolf! Also, I was expecting a more serious tone on the fact that she was bought at a slave auction, but they seem to gleam over it. Oh, and I also hate the fact that they spoiled a lot in the opening, what the heck?! I'm sure I'll feel differently about the series as we go through, but I'll see. Definitely not dropping though. |

Compare to OVA, the pacing feel really smooth or normal now. As expected of wit studio, the art, adaptation, pacing, voice acting, soundtrack etc etc was upto the mark. flawless/5 for this episode. Personally, Elias kinda reminds me of ALL MIGHT :D |

Abit strange going for bride and apprentice, loving this show so far though. The OVA was amazing and this is off to a great start too. |

Don't worry about the auction, it will be explained eventually (well dunno if the anime will go that far, we'll see) but I can assure you it's not a plot hole. |

Not really comfortable with the whole "I bought a wife" aspect, but I didn't care for that in the manga either of course. Other than that, perfect adaptation of the manga. Easily Studio Wit's best work already ( I hate basically everything else they've done), and easily their best animation to date. Soundtrack is already top tier, too. I really can't stand JUNNA's voice. She sounds like a young girl trying to sing like an older woman. Then I google her and find out that's exactly what she is. It just doesn't sound like a "natural" tone. It's like when on America's Got Talent you get those 8 year old girls that try to sing a Whitney Houston song exactly like Whitney did. They can hit the notes but it sounds really forced and unnatural. Same issue I have with JUNNA. Maybe I'll like her when she gets older. I hope they got with someone else for the second cour opening. |

Despite not feeling it so much this episode, I still have high expectations for this anime, so I'm looking forward to it. |
