Well out of all the opening episodes this season this show grabbed my attention the most. love the OP, and the fairy designs are wicked! Sure it might of seemed like a bit too much was crammed into the first episode but curious to see where this goes now.

Very good first episode. The characters, background and music were excellent. When Free was running I appreciated that he wasn't leaning w-a-a-a-y forward (I hate that common anime device). They have lain the groundwork for some good characters and I hope they develop well. The only thing off was the end card with Marlya: her lower half looked like it was shrunk, but that fortunately has nothing really to do with the story.

Not impressed so far, but at least it’s not the worst thing I’ve seen this season. I’ll give it 3 episodes I guess (more than I’m doing for several other shows to air in the last few days). Fairy CGI is distracting, though not terrible I’d say. Characters don’t seem that interesting, and their actions don’t make sense. Like how the government dude just sort of goes “you just helped the criminal I was chasing escape. Here, have a job in law enforcement”

The pacing was a complete mess. Honestly, overall the whole episode was a complete mess. None of it really sat well with me. They failed at the emotional build up, they failed at the main character and they failed at Veronica. They failed at making anyone care about anything. I think the guy was done alright, nothing special but at least they didn't fail him. The action was good and the show looks good. Hopefully with time the show fixes itself because it had a rough start but I think we will still be able to grow attached to the characters if the show does alright from now on.

hmm this was an interesting one.
To start, the OP was flames! definitely got me ready to watch the show. But as soon as it started I realized that something about the art direction wasnt working for me. I thought the production qualtiy picked up when the fighting scenss took place so thats an eh overall. The music selected for the soundtracks was amazing and more than made up for the faults I found in the beginning. The end of the show was alright. Definitely not as strong as an opening I had hoped for, however, I am still looking forward to the second episode

Pretty good episode, the story has potential imo. This ep raised many questions. Also why Marlya is obsessed with Ver. Hopefully these will be answered at the end. Has similar vibe to Sirius the Jaeger I suppose

Op looked nice.

I thought this would be another Asuka. Thank God it wasn't.

The episode was interesting in a way. I think this will become quite bad by the end of the season, but I hope this stays watchable as long as possible.

I like the initial premise and am curious to learn more about the fairies. Also, why is Marlya now working for Jesus Christ? Are fairies the key to the rapture?

The CGI fairy fights looked lame and I really despise the edgy music soundtrack.

Such a waste of an animation, this opening episode sucked and that was a bullshit encounter. It tries that stand' route from Jojo, the female MC is wack AF hate the bitch already.

I foresee this as a bad anime, that is so fake but had a potential to be good at the end of the season. So disappointed because I was eager for this, wish I didn't plan to watch this shit.

Well, sincerely, being a work of P.A. Works I will continue to see it. I liked the first chapter. Everything is great until the "fairies, why they had to animate the fairies with CGI? It's the only thing I did not like, it took away some of the magic to the animation 😅. But, well, it's an interesting story.

I thought I was watching a chinese anime coz the artstyle was somewhat weird. XD

And the fairies though... they sure don't look fairy-like.
The guy's fairy looks like Verg Avesta from FGO.
Ver's fairy looks like a Level 3 Akuma from D.Gray-Man.
And the main girl's fairy... is freakin' ugly! It's so jarring to look at.

Not a fan of the story.
The first episode felt boring to me, especially the first few minutes. I almost fell a asleep with the lame narrative.
I hope this gets good though coz I have a policy of not dropping anime anymore. :v

I thought the first episode wasn't the strongest way to open a series but was still okay. I'm loving the OST and the art is nice, the most worrying thing about the episode for me was Mariya as a character and the motivation behind her actions. Hopefully as the story unfolds things get better!

Nice character designs and I like the setting, but the story/script felt rushed and all over the place. Still interesting enough to merit more watching.

My impressions from the trailers was Maria was already a fairy soldier or former military, not some penniless orphan who somehow joined the mafia and somehow was good enough with a rifle to become a guard instead of being forced into prostitution (unless the mafia that respects women's choices and gender equality? Then she's just being a bit of an ass for not caring how her colleagues died and ditching them the second she's threatened with an arrest) and somehow gained control of a fairy in a non-standard way in the first episode.

I wouldn't say it's bad, but hopefully it needs to improve now that they've gotten all of the world building exposition and awkward character introductions out of the way.

A very interesting Anime so far
loved hearing the same band who did the opening for the GATE anime doing this opening

The animation looks good , was very worried the monsters...or "fairies" would be horribly CGI'd but I was wrong ...thankfully.

Now to see if the story lives up to everything else.

lol no This is (K)now Name and Gate openings were straight Akeboshi Rockets and Kishida Kyoudan

Mariya has a nice design...

PERSONA!

"I am thou, and thou art I. From the sea of thy soul I come forth."

So hurting the fairies hurts their hosts too...

"Wolf Collar and Swan Feathers." Hmm...are those the names of Free and Mariya's fairies respectively?

Mariya joins Free of the Dorothea squadron to find her long lost friend who is hunting down the man that burned their village...

There's plenty of detail in the backgrounds, and I like the setting, but the overall presentation of this pilot episode felt odd. Maybe it was how the characters were introduced or the writing in general. The action scenes felt odd too not because of the fairies being CGI but more like how the animation itself didn't seem to...flow very well. I can't really explain it, but all I can say is that this episode overall feels off. Hopefully it does better in the future episodes.

Anyway, look like we'll get both FemaleXFemale and MaleXMale couple from this anime

Genuinely curious as to how you came to this conclusion. Because I saw absolutely nothing hinting at either one.

the fairies are very similar to the IBM (not sure if that was their name) and they both made of CG

A little bit of boring if we're talking about the premise.

But the action scenes still draw me in and I like those green "supernova" effects when they're using the fairies.

It was an OK episode for a first one. The quality is really good. CGI is kind of a letdown, but it is still good. OST was great. Will see how this progresses.

I still hate the attitude of female MC.
- doesn't follow order and let her emotion take control, someone like that is going to join as soldier?
- happy-go-lucky type of character always get something powerful, bullshit
- wanted to solve everything through conversation in a win-win condition without paying any price?

I really hope in later episode, this kind of character doesn't mess up at some important event.
Well, I can foresee this is gonna happen anyway. I can only pray that this is just not some good art poor plot anime.

Her main goal in joining the mafia was to get information, connections, etc to find her long lost friend. Now that she actually met her, she won't care much for the mafia anymore, so no, she won't follow orders to shoot her friend, because reuniting with her is the goal, the mafia was only one of the means.

Anime studios are businesses that need to stay in the green to stay alive. Nowadays producing anime is certainly not a goldmine, so yes, they have to cut corners somewhere. It would be a shitton of work animating all this the regular way, no wonder nearly all new action animes have CGI in them.

It was not that horrible for me. It didn't bore me at all, Veronica was beautiful. Plus it has most of my favourite seiyuus so I'm enjoying it so far. 7/10

Hope they won't ruin the show with bad CGI, I liked that green shiny effect tho.

It was a pretty mediocre episode, but still enjoyable to me.
But how Marlya and Free met was pretty weird, it was painfully obvious that it was just used to introduce the characters to us, if they could've used more natural ways for it.
Im not that fond of Marlya yet, admittedly. That whole "No, don't fight! Ver, talk to me!" thing was kinda annoying and I'm not really a fan of characters like that. They will probably meet a few times, it's going to be a back and forth between them, Veronica won't say why she does what she does until it's pretty late in the series, I suppose. I do like Veronica though, have to see how she and the other characters will evolve.

The CGI fairies weren't that offputting for me, I have seen worse CGI *cough* Overlord *cough* and I will just get used to it.
I also had major Sirius vibes from this show, especially from the ending, it was kind of in the same style as the Sirius one. I really, really like the OP, it's pretty cool.

Okay...it was a decent start. I liked the fights and the OST. Opening is great.

The fairies are more like monsters; Mariya's fairy is the ugliest one, ugh.

Mariya is like Nina 2.0 from Bahamut Virgin Soul, just less fun. Nina was high spirit and that's what I liked about her; it made her less annoying.

I'm indifferent towards the main guy, and Veronica was someone that at least stood out for now.

Can't wait the blonde dude to make an official appearance, he seems cool.

Alright PA Works, come no now...you gotta do this. Interesting start, the music was by far the straight up 10/10 level for me. I'm hoping this holds together but PA Works does have its issues with its storytelling. I hope it doesn't fall down the rabbit hole of most original anime where it only does a single cour for its story instead of branching for 2 cours in order to truly flesh out its main plot.
Don't believe the hype.

I like the time period. The toadies with the guns and the cool hats were pretty cool. The music is good as expected. Animation is nice and art is clean.

Strangely, it hasn't grabbed me as of yet. I'll definitely watch it but I'm fairly sure it's not going to be the MVP of the season.
