That's not what Marzan is talking about. Very few actual high schools in the US have any sort of "cult of personality" or fanclub around a single person. I suspect real-world Japan is similar... But in anime, there often tends to be a single most popular person in the school, with literally ten or twenty people just following them around in the background. This works in a show like BakaTest or NouCome, but that's it - in a show not centered primarily around absurdist comedy, it just seems ridiculous.

Agreed.

Eh, not bad. I do like the whole hot-babe-falling-for-some-random-dude kinda thing, but they didn't really tell us WHY she was falling for him.

Not sure I get the "harem" complaints. As far as I can tell, this isn't a harem series... I wouldn't say I'm a big fan from the first episode, but I don't see where this is cliche, so far.

My only complaint so far is how weak the main male lead seems... hopefully he at least has some personality later. It's one thing to be outspoken or physically weak, but right now he just seems completely lifeless, as some characters pointed out.

But why the hell are the students flipping out over such a small thing, when they're freaking swarming around her constantly? They can fawn all over her from morning til noon, but he drops she picks up this random guy's eraser, and shit just hit the fan.

Lol didn't expect it to enjoy it after all:

Pros:

- Decent animation, CGI doesn't look bad
- ED song is really damn catchy
- slight romance feels

Cons:

- beta fag male
- highschool setting
- characterdesigns look generic as fuck
- won't go anywhere.

Technically, I find it all too good, seeing how he is behaving JC Staff with Golden Time!
Well-designed environments, character design pretty, graphically rich characters, only drawback hurry raccontarre in history. The narrative immediately fire all of its cartridges, I hope there is a slow but solid growth in the next episodes.
However, I do not know why, but also with plot elements that they know of déjà vu, I like it.
The sausage was hilarious! XD

I like this show. I can see it isn't held up by overused character types and plot devices. The animation is sweet with a pretty entertaing ending sequence and song. I have high hopes for it.

The female lead having obscenely large breasts turned me off. I hate when animators do that for no reason. Dropping this anime because even though I felt like watching it from the summary because I like magic and witches and all, it feels like this is gonna be another harem and oversexualizing females.

As of episode 4 there are only two females that are interested in Takamiya for romantic reasons and one of them is Kagari. The other witches just want the mysterious thing inside of him which isn't related to romance at all.

There hasn't been any "oversexualizing of females" at all. The only thing I can think of that comes close is Kagari torturing the 5 witches from episode 2 just because it's torture, and that's quite the stretch.

This series looks so cheesy, but it's not bad for the first episode. Only problem I have is how weak the protagonist is but this is only the beginning so it should be fine as long as he has some development later on.

This anime has to take the cake for the MOST annoying classmates ever...

Not to mention that was the some of the dumbest reason for bullying someone I have ever seen in a show.

It was sort of boring. The fight scene was cool, but I dislike how the chick overpowered the enemy chick (Tanpopo was it?). I liked the ED song though, I mean the ED sequence, it was cute, I guess? There were also a lot of cringe worthy part in this episode. Personally I felt that the fame of that chick was a little overboard, her fans were annoying as hell, especially the bullies.

"I will protect you. You are my princess after all."

Role reversal, here we go! Oh, yes, as a longtime reader of the manga, I've been waiting for this ever since I saw the announcement. Nevermind my late start, lol. I was afraid that Ryuu Mizunagi's very intricate art style would be lost upon adaptation, but it wasn't nearly as bad as I feared. Anyway, I'm impressed by J.C. Staff's take for the first episode. Visually pleasing, just like my experience with HenNeko's adaptation. I hope they keep this up, or do better!

Man, those people in that school are fucking violent. Also : ''Who is this guy? He gave me eyes cancer!'', ouch xD

Somewhat a decent start, characters seem rather plain and boring the concept is pretty casual and well I wonder what the whole story have to offer us but I'm guessing a man hunt/harem!

That ED was pretty funny though.

Kagari sure is hot, but she really needs to show more emotions, and she is taller than the MC ahahaha.
MC should stop being a wimp =_= Those were some annoying folks at their school!!
I like the character designs and the animation.
Opening by fhana :3 Ending song is pretty cute~
I like Harem Anime, but I think it's a good thing that this show is not a Harem.
Let's see how this goes!!

Obama-kun? 0.o "The best is yet to come!" xD

Doesn't his name (Hono) means fire in Japanese?

I like shows with reversed gender roles. It's refreshing to see guys in the distress role and the girl/s saving him.

Kagari is awesome, though I wish she would smile more often

LOL especially at the huge breast comment.Everytime I see it, I keep wondering if she's gonna keel over and faint just from the sheer weight of those huge things pressing down on her chest lol.
Anyways,this first episode seems fun and interesting.The action seems to be nice as well.I really hope it's not harem though.
I wonder what Kagari means by Takamiya being her princess lol.
Lol at her fanbase and how they beat up Takamiya for dropping his eraser near her desk.They sure are a ranbunctious bunch lol

The authors are going that route for a reason, there is something called character development after all.

After watching the end scene I have a feeling that this is gonna turn into some kind of deadly harem or something. Hopefully not. That cliche is so played out. Besides, the explosions are dope.

EDIT: It isn't gonna be a harem.
