The art style's a bit different from what I normally watch and it looks like it could be interesting. May as well keep an eye on it.

The form's great with an art really close to Valkyria Chronicles' and relatively interesting direction, however, there's a huge gap between the seemingly serious side they're trying to create and the silliness/shallowness of the synopsis/dialogues/characters. And obviously, the wrongly used ecchiness finishes to ruin the show.

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

As everyone, the 'line art' style is brilliant.
The main guy's voice is not pretty at all.
Nothing that fascinating till now.

The art and animation are clearly unique and interesting, a bit weak at times. Black dots everywhere which clearly ruins how the episode went. Sound is nothing special. As for story, I clearly have no idea what just happened or what is gonna happen. All I understood was samurai, boobs, student council and kiss.

Based on this, I know this'll be just a show full of fights, girls getting stripped until naked and a nonsense plot. Dunno if I want to continue this.....Meh, I guess I'm gonna watch this for the VAs and the ending song, though why does the male lead have to be voiced by Hirakawa Daisuke o.0 Anyone but him -_-. Oh well, I have my loli KugiRie and big breasted Kobayashi Yuu.

FAYLANNNNNNNNNNNN! *-*

I'm surprised to find myself really liking the art. I'm usually turned away from ecchi anime because of the hideous art, but this series is different. The story is also exceptionally good for an ecchi/romance anime, but that's probably because it's not a harem and it's set in a samurai era. :P

No, it's actually set in 22nd year of Heisei, in other words year 2011.

Meh. Fairly mindless, lots of ecchi, seems easy to follow. Exactly what I was expecting. Not too bad a plot from what I can see. Will definitely give it another coupleof eps.
Although those inksplats are just friccking annoying. They're just annoying....there are better ways of censoring.....

The drawing style is unique and amazing it gives a very nice feeling.
I loved that scene with the B29 bombers it kind of felt refreshing to see American forces get attacked for ones.
This Anime also has a feeling like it happened very long ago but Heisei year 22 is now, which also explains the digital camera and the high tech glasses.

First impression of this Anime is very good to me.


I totally agree with this.
I also love the music during te scene with the bombers and how they kick @$$ and the animation style is very unique wich I also really dig.

it certainly have the feel of many animes

and the art kinda remind me of katanagatari, I'm not saying it's not the same but rather different than other animes

I watch and see how it goes, just hope the ink splatters reduce over time

Ah, my bad for wording that incorrectly. xD No clue why I said era, I meant that I liked how it has a samurai theme.

Loved the art style, animation was nice. The only thing that got old fast was the black spots, given they stopped using them about 1/3 into the episode (excluding the times they used them for censor), they was really cool for transitions, though...I think I'm going to enjoy this series ^_^ just hope the only male character I seen so far doesn't get pushed to the side and end up being a weakling.

Another samurai story with a Yagyuu, Jubei character, but this time with out an eye patch.
I love the animation art as it tries to look like Japanese paintings.
I don't mind the ink being the censoring method, beats the hell out of the mysterious mist, sudden glare, dark shadow and red out screens. Would be better if the lightened them up just a shade so they do match the other ink spots.
The story seems rehashed but the characters seem interesting.
I actually want to see what kind of powers the kiss gives the characters.

Agreed with others; ink > mist.
I spent half the episode trying to identify Hirakawa Daisuke's voice, perhaps because i recognized Rie and thought it might have a heavy seiyuu cast. I will tell you i was depressed i remembered his voice since i didn't like any of his roles.

As far as being awesome, that's not the case, but it is definitely more promising than your average show.

Yea I dislike the ink, might as well remove the ecchi, I think people would view this just for the animation itself, the male lead for the most part at least inst a pushover so that always a needed bonus, fight scenes so far seem uninteresting but still just episode .

And yea Hirakawa as a lead voice to me always seems like a bad choice just cause he has that awkward hesitant tone, I literally forced myself through Omamori Himari and well School Days......ya know.

Ah come on Matt, next time I'll make you have a beer while watching this. There's far worse stuff out there and this anime does obviously not want its watchers to take it too seriously. (:

Interesting animation style I like thick outlines.
I like Sanada because she's voiced by Kugimiya Rie in "Louise style" and looks nice.
The episode itself was very entertaining I hope they won't overdid it with the fanservice

this is in the bottom three as far as censorship goes. Interesting art style, but it makes the girls less visually attractive (ie not moe :<).

still don't know where this is going, so i guess i'll reserve judgment on this

I like this, but it really needs to have more creative censoring (light censoring like with SW2 would work better than the current censoring) though especially if this is going to be heavily censored like Qwaser. It feels like Strike Witches and Queen's Blade mixed together.

Stuff that I like about the show:

--Male protagonist is not some good-for-nothing, wimpy, nerdy, weakling.
--Preferable amount of ecchiness
--Somewhat intriguing story

Things I don't like
--The black inks sputtered on the screen.

Still hoping that this anime doesn't go downhill in the long run.

Well, to put it this way...
I approve of the fabulous art style.
I approve of the OP.
I approve of having Kotobuku Minako, Kobayashi Yuu, Koshimizu Ami, Kugimiya Rie, Makoto Hirakawa Daisuke, and Sakurai Takahiro in the cast.
I do not approve of having Toyosaki Aki there. (The rest are pretty meh, whatever.)
I approve of the action sequences.
ED is meh, neither approve nor disapprove.
I do not approve of the constant ink blobs. Damn annoying things.
And lastly, I can't really say I approve of the fanservice, because... No, it's just excessive. (Yes, it's excessive in HotD too.)
Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile.
Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(゚Д゚щ) Nope™, probably not.

i doubt they're all going to come from the sky. i think 4 or 5 out of the 7 women have already been seen so it could be shes just a special case/their leader but i do think hes gonna have to kiss them to unlock their true power

The fuck...? I totally agree with you there. Hirasawa Daisuke's a bit annoying but his voice seems to fit Muneakira. And Kugimiya Rie is actually pretty good this time, wich is very unexpected.

This Anime gives me a Canaan feeling.
They use thick black line on the edge of character to make it look as if it is 3D (hardly not),but the Japanese traditional portrait as background really makes the Anime character stand out... ^.^
Kinda interesting and I might follow this series .
