"Wtf did I just watch?" First thought after ending kicks in.

I get that there are cybuddy things and a organization trying to use them in the real world? Or something with selling the technology.

I do like the Galactic Pretty Boy theme going on though.

WOW. what just happened?! NO idea... but I liked it. a lot.

I can see how people can compare this to Revolutionary Girl Utena (the BEST anime ever made imo) in the sense that we have flashy characters, a corrupt student council, a mysterious and secluded academy, and "duels."

SO glad I finally decided to watch this.

I was not prepared for the FABULOUS that was the main character's transformation. I already love him. I found this episode a bit too all over the place for me though. It was all somewhat hard to digest. I guess my expectations were a bit too high. Still really hopeful about this show though. Looking forward to more of Galactic Pretty Boy.

Everything is so... sparkly. 0.o
I still can't figure out if this is a good thing or not.
Now it's time to watch the second episode and hope that it will explain something, it doesn't matter what, since I don't understand anything.

I've never seen Revolutionary Girl Utena so I don't know if it's more similar to that or to Gurren Lagann but I see a bit of Gurren Lagann, Code Geass, & Noein in this. Just bits a pieces though. So far, this anime looking pretty awesome. I really like the singing of the fish girl.

The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

One thing I'm wondering: Galactic Pretty Boy?

I understand the 'Galactic' and the 'Boy', but PRETTY Boy? Made me laugh.

That insert song. I love it. I want it. I watched the scene three times. And it fit very well with the animation sequence, I thought. Very pleasant to watch. At first, I thought they were gonna go full on CGI with the animation for that part. I'm actually very happy they didn't.

So far, I'm really enjoying this. Pretty boys, girls in skimpy clothing, good animation, good music. Everything I like in an anime. ;D

That was a pretty wicked first episode. In the beginning I was really getting into it...characters & lead were pretty good in general. Building up on his past and showing his optimistic confidence. Liking it. Fantastic animation and backgrounds. Loving it!
..then we get to the middle. o.O uhmm...WHAT?!
All over the place and oh god... GALACTIC PRETTY BOY?! Christ's sake we don't need to emhasize on it. I suppose a pretty boy is actually needed to take up the role and I have never before seen such a manly transformation. Hmph. *o*

-LOL'ing when they were like..hold the phone, it's THE PRETTY BOY?!?! F*cks sake drop the tools and STARE. Cool ending, sitting on the hand...awks<3

-I REALLY LIKE THE CLOSING SONG/CLIP watcha-mi-call-em. Smooth sailing for the trio.

Finally getting around to watching this, it's been in my PtW for a long time.

Hardly understood anything that was going on, but any show with someone calling themselves 'Ginga Bishounen/Galactic Pretty Boy' is an A+ in my book.

Hope to see many many more sparkly moments. *_*

This is another one of those anime that I would put into the "should have watched sooner" category. That's my impression of the first episode at least. I really should try not to judge an anime by it's cover, or genres.
I like Hentai, you like real life.
Instead of complaining about my tastes, be grateful you now don't have to compete against me.

Lol literally "Galactic pretty boy"
And like most, yeah it did resemble TTGL, somewhat.
And dat animation, pretty damn good.
Please learn about cel animation and its technical process.
Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers.

5/5

It may also be a childish excuse, but in order to prepare me well for the new series of mecha Bones this spring, 2014, I needed to look at a previous year, what better time than this to start Star Driver?
So, looking at this first episode immediately jumps to the eyes the huge potential, both in terms of graphics and technical, wineskin to those inherent in the plot.
I hope I do not disappoint in the end, as many have criticized.
Initial rating of 7/10!

Fabulous is indeed the word to describe this anime.

Edit: Been years since I've touched this, I watched up to episode 11 on Viewster but the site went defunct. I've forgotten some of it so I'm restarting, now that Funimation has it in the UK.

So Takuto entered in what year of highschool exactly? All the other students already know each other. Only the Kiraboshi members, the shrine maidens (including Wako) and Takuto can experience the frozen time.

I can see the resemblance to final fights within TTGL..

Takuto: Setsuna F. Seiei
Sugata: Lelouch vi Britannia
Wako: Saki Morimi

I found it really funny how Takuto was building up to a badass variation of his "it's a pinch" catchphrase "it's a punch" but ended up getting knocked out himself.

GALACTIC PRETTY BOY... with a pinch!

XD Though full of cliches, this was a great way to start this series.

I just hope it doesn't turn into a competition for Wako's affection between the two main boys.

Having watched some recent BONES anime (2016,17) but still I didn't their animation greatness was superior at that time. Gotta watch this for 'incredible animation' (even my vlc player lagged so many times). For Plot, i don't have any good feeling because MC is way too OP // and too many things showed up in a single episode.
